  • I am a self taught piper, not by choice, but because I am the only piper I know of in my community. I picked up the chanter about 9 years ago. I was off and on for about 4 years. Got serious about 5 years ago. ANd got my pipes, Dubars p-1's, about three years ago. Being self taught and not having a teacher I have had problems at times with certin grace notes, throws and others. You and others on this site have helped a lot. Thanks and keep up the good work , & ignor those who criticise.

  • You don't play the D throw the same way you described it. You describe light and play heavy!

  • the chanter sounds a lot like a Bb clarinet

  • @tehbestcanadian FYI oboe means "little bagpipe" cool huh?

  • Damn, seeing all the dicks who post on this video almost discourages me from wanting to play the bagpipes. It would appear that alot of bagpipers are douchebags. However, evidently some are not, like this guy. The lessons are greatly appreciated, man. Keep playing.

  • Rubbish - only way to describe.

    How does this guy have the gaull to call himself an expert he certainly is not???

  • check out the rest of it....he can't play anything!!

  • you should not be teaching, leave it to the guys who can play.

  • WTF is this guy doing he cant even play a d- throw

  • I learnt from the green book that you can play it either as G - D - C - D or G - D - G - C - D ( with an extra low g before the C.

  • Hey man I was thinking about learning the bagpipes. What do you suggest for a complete beginner? Like what to buy and good books.

    Thanks
