[nigelu2]

[cardfan212]

This really helped me. My band director said if I learn how to play the didjeridu, he'll find a song that the whole band can play along with with me on didge.

[Yirakii]

@hoRiizonzvx see the little " ;) "? It means I am joking with you. But apparently that is something that americans do much better: understand humor. Relax, my friend. . . . but just because an instrument did not originate in a certain country it does not mean that people from that country cannot master the instrument.

[eugene8910]

@grandpatarzan i agree with you,except when you said that Americans understand humor better

[grandpatarzan]

@eugene8910 that part is obvious :)

[fireplug1701d]

problem for me is that I make the sound.....I fill the cheeks but when I use the air in my cheeks the sound stops and its sounds like a fart. I think my brain is telling me I am suffocating myself.

[hoRiizonzvx]

Why is an American teaching me how to play the didgeridoo when i'm from Australia...

[grandpatarzan]

@hoRiizonzvx because you came to this sight and because Americans do everything better ;)

[Systemfan555]

i love expert village, they taught me bass to

[ydrjtt]

"goofy raspberry sound" lol that is a good concept

[SuperDrmadman]

okay, i've got to that key point where my head and instrument and shaking like crazy, but it was a lower sound than yours and my lips seem to be moving alot, much like the one you said was too low. I have tried everything higher than this sound but nothing seems to work. Is this the right sound? or is it to low and i should keep trying to find higher sounds?

[notquiteluke]

I am laughing so hard at my attempts. Gosh, I should apologise to the neighbours really. Thanks for the tutorial though!

[metalhead9494]

i want one sooo baddD: how much do they go for?

[ClarkesonTheMarksman]

@metalhead9494 18 million pickled herrings

[whiteboyinDCs]

@metalhead9494 anywhere form $80 to over $300. wood carved ones are more expensive. you can even find some made out of heat treated PVC pipe for cheap. those are perfect for beginers. hope i helped

[sexy101ishere]

@metalhead9494 i got a didgeridoo that doesn't slide for $30 from the band called brother one of the of the band members plays a didgeridoo the band is from australia

[MunchySeedsGal]

Great video...really easy to follow. Thank you!!! (:

[PalkaSvechi]

I tried this with the carboard gift rapper roll and it worked the first time. SWEET :D

[bamboosa]

I teach didgeridoo. Do not watch this video if you want to play. This guy is a nightmare.

[FijiRed]

@bamboosa Where are your teaching videos? Oh wait, you don't have any..

[emtmartinez1989]

so how is the mouthpiece supposed to fit? do you press your face to it or just enough to seal? cuz when i put the didge to my mouth, i cant keep my lips going to make the sound. any advice?

[PhychoStylez]

@ashgod23 why you mad, bro?

[ashgod23]

@PhychoStylez cuz like aussies should be teaching this

[PhychoStylez]

@ashgod23 haha, no need to get mad about it.

[sHoRTiiCuTiE]

on American Idol i think Crystal Bowersox had this instrument in her song:/

[xdman09x]

COOL!!! im no australian but.. i always liked the way this instrument sounds!!.. i actually bought 1, and cant keep my tone flowing for a long period!.. this is helpful.. THANKS GUY!

[ERRORxakaRay]

Awesome, Where Can I get one of these? lol 

[BlueTolerated]

It's really frustrating for me to learn the basics of this instrument. I don't understand how you can keep your lips vibrating AND relaxed while pushing your face against the didge. That cancels all possibility of vibrating, for me.

[twatbrain]

@BlueTolerated i seem to be able to get a better sound and an easier way to play, is to use the corner of your mouth, put the edge of the didgeridoo in the middle of your lips, and blow air out the side, works a treat =)

[MotorCrossFreek]

as an aboriginal myself, you being white you should not be teaching people how to play the Didgeridoo.. GET OFF MY LAND !

[Pieishman]

How to make a cheap digeridoo: go find a long cardboard wrapping paper tube.....

[dvdsmlprstylr]

[Nicknacmania]

[AntiOverskud]

This was very helpful. I can't way to try the didgeridoo that is in my classroom. I just want to be able to make a few sounds, because no one in my class can, haha.

[RavenHarvest]

[rudeman98]

Not bad. It's thorough for those of us who are beginners to playing the didgeridoo
