Macedonian Gajda - How to play 'Crnagorka'

This is a short 'how to' video that makes learning gajda a simple task. I start with just the bare melody then i add the little 'crossing notes' by dropping down to the 7th (2nd lowest note)and the trills, then i play the whole tune up to speed with thumb pops and a few extras. this is how i learned how to play. This gajda is in the key of A

there is no macedonian gaida ITS Bulgarian gaida macedonia is a countrie with less then 100 years history

[corydale]

in all my travels in bulgaria i did not find any gajdas like this played. yes gaida is in bulgaria, greece, macedonia but in every country the gaida is slightly different in its construction, tuning and playing style. this particular gajda comes from what is now macedonian and the music played is from the village of lavca- it is a macedonian style gajda. cant you people get over the politics and just enjoy the damn music!

You Definitely need to do more of these!! I just started to learn and it really helps to see the fingering!! Please!! post more!! and while I'm posting...do you know of a website that has proper care instructions for a gaida?

[corydale]

care instructions- play your gajda! then keep it rolled up in a plastic bag when not in use, so the skin doesnt dry out to much. but most of all playing is all gajda needs.
