cool work

[Darkmonk5555]

Thou ARE my vision. Sweetly played!

[insx]

So, did you literally just try stuff and figure it out or did you use some books or videos or something?

[Chrishankhah]

@insx I've always played by ear. I had a book that came with the flute, and it taught me how to increase an octave (I don't know how, because it's hard to describe how you do it,) but I'm notoriously bad at reading music at the rhythm it must be played. I can read the rhythm or the notes, but not both at once. So I pretty much learned by ear. I'm not sure why that seems impressive to people; I'm personally impressed by people who can actually read and play music at pace!

[insx]

@Chrishankhah Thanks for the reply. I can't do either at the moment but I've been wanting to play an instrument for ages. I hope to follow in your footsteps and knock out some nice hymns and praise songs before too long.

[lucjyjazz]

THANKS FOR PLAYING! I

[brisco918]

Just starting to get into old irish music. Stumbled across your video and instantly recognized the melody as an old irish folks song called "slane" that i'm currently trying to learn on guitar. Interesting history behind this hymn you should check it out. Great version of this song done by Jim Tozier on his cd celtic guitar.

[1985OldSkool]

This is a lovely song.  Thanks for the video.

[mammal46]

Thank GOD something Celtic for a change.

[madadivad1986]

Great! I'm so glad you could glorify God in such a beautiful way and that you shared it with us!

[gimpyFG71]

Lovely!

[rdalemc]

BEAUTIFUL!! .. One of my favorite hymns...(and yeah, I'm a little jealous...or at least wish I could play that well, my whistling still sounds more squeaky) ... a) Are you self taught, and if so what books do(did) you use b) whose transcription are you using, c) what brand of whistle?

God Bless you, and keep using your talents for His Glory and pleasure, and you'll get a blessing as well.

[Chrishankhah]

lol, very much self taught. I can only read music for singing, and barely -- I can't think fast enough to read music and play in-rhythm. (I would have to look at each note and process it in my head and literally take hours.)

I'm not sure what you mean by transcription -- I'm just playing it as I know the song. :)

It's a feadog whistle from Ireland. I have two of the brand, a C and a D. I think this is the D. The C I bought straight from Scotland, and it's not painted like this one...

[Chrishankhah]

Anyway, thank you so much for the kind comment! God bless you. :)

[BoudiccaBlanc]

WELL DONE!!!

[Conail23]

excellent! I really enjoyed tha.t

[Chrishankhah]

Thank you!

I am really sorry, I somehow hit "delete" on your comment on my other video rather than "reply." Youtube can be very unforgiving!

To answer your question, I am a Reformed Baptist, and actually American. I do have some Irish background and was raised Catholic, but like many in my private school class I fell away just as soon as I came in to the public school system.

I was saved about three years ago while reading the Bible, something I was never taught to do as a Catholic.

[mademgrey]

wonderful job :)

[bibliosca]

sounds great.without a vision the people perish.we have our hope fixed in Jesus who alone can save.

[darvis73]

Great job!! Keep up the good work for the Lord!

[Ev105]

Beautiful. Pre-Christian music with new lyrics.

[sircharlie07]

me gusta tb el coro de pajaritos que suena de fondo...

:D

[Chrishankhah]

¡Gracias! Es una gran atmósfera para jugar música. ¡Es mucho más agradable que estando dentro de una casa! Perdóneme si dije algo absurdo. No hablo mucho español y tuve que utilizar Babelfish.

[sircharlie07]

What type of irish tin whistle is that you are playing - you get a really nice tone from it.

[TheWhistleCollector]

It looks like a Sweetone.

[Chrishankhah]

It is in D, made by Feadog. Actually made in Ireland IIRC :)

[ronmower]
