Okay...I'm defeated...This is terribly hard. I actually thought I was doing well and looking forward to doing my videos each day...I think I'm going back to playing the flute...

It is hard, and it takes time and practice. These lessons can't be done quickly - often, one lesson will take several weeks to master. This is, truth to tell, a big jump BUT if you keep at it, it will come.

Come ON you people, of course it's difficult! Do you expect to pick the thing up and sound like a songbird right off the bat? Ryan's been playing for over 20 years. Bunch of wussies. Get to work!

THANK YOU! I've been playing for years, but am self taught, and as you mentioned somewhere along the way this has definitely led to sloppy playing.

These videos are great! I didn't think I'd enjoy the tin whistle as much as I am.

is one roll equal to one note as in if there are 2 notes in a row do i perform 2 rolls or 1

Thanks so much Father for these clear and concise lessons. You have a way of getting right to the nitty-gritty and it is much appreciated.

I want a slow motion video to see how your fingers move lol. I think i'm not moving fast enough. I'll keep practicing.

this is wonderful. I'm a clarinetist (45 years), recorder (46, but seriously for 27 years) and picked up the tin whistle several years ago and use it in my music classes with easy jigs in a little book I found. Now, I have to play for it with the orchestra and choir special in church tomorrow on a slow song, so I'm going through your videos to get the ornamentation as it sounded like it was lacking "stuff". Tomorrow I will be playing to get by, but will continue to work now I've found you.

god bless you ryan duns! your lessons are great.

for those who think this is difficult: just keep practicing - its not that hard if you work,work,work.

This is something that actually comes naturally when learning the whistle (we notice the lilts and follow suit). The hardest part is not OVER USING such.
