  • Great video. As another comment said hard to believe you're only at it 4 months. Do you have a background in other instruments? And are you self taught or did you get lessons?

  • @downsy1: Thank you! I played guitar before and I played the tin whistle for half a year. Its normally recommended to start with the tin whistle to learn the ornamentation and the basics of Irish folk music. At that time I had had one lesson. Today I've had two lessons :-) But I learned with the book "the new approach to uilleann piping" by Heather Clarke. I hope that helps!

  • So beautiful! I try to incorporate irish music's delicate turns and implementation of trills in my flute playing... interpretation makes such a difference to a piece... This was a blessing to my ears, thankyou :3 (inspiration to fellow self-taught players, too!)

  • You play amazingly good, and I love this song.

  • That sounds great! I'm thinking of learning this instrument, but have no idea where to start. The tin whistle sounds like a really good idea to learn the basics.

  • Im english and all I can say is that the sounds of those pipes mesmerizes me. Its so beautiful and haunting I can barely descibe it. They have a soulful melancholy which is utterly bewtching. Fabulous stuff. First heard them nearly 40 years ago on Mike Oldfields ommadawn album. They get me evry time.

  • It's believable because some people actually have talent, like this guy. We're so exposed to pop trash we forget that some people are actually very good musicians ;) Great stuff man :) Very beautiful. I love the Titanic Theme. "Rose" is probably my favorite variation of it.

  • But what you hear isnt what you see. Tell me how that works, take a cd, play it to your video? Is that how it is done. No ofc, you play like this after 4 months.

  • bavo!

  • @SHAMYDDJ same lad i really want a starter set and not some cheap shite i want the native real thing! sadly im a peniless student

  • This is absolutely beautiful!!!! Nice job!
