Welcome aboard! Thanks for your support. I’ll let Floki the cat know!!

Welcome to a fantastic hobby. It’s not the easiest of instruments to learn for sure but it’s very rewarding. I generally aim for at least 30 minutes on the practice chanter and at least 30 minutes on the pipes each day. Often it’s more like an hour on the PC. Saturdays / Sundays are generally a write off.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks, will do!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

@@PipingHotMess you are wellcome,i play smallpipe too,a twist trap smallpipe 👍

Always good to meet another piper! What a great hobby we have.

I’m getting better, slowly but surely.

Thanks!

Thanks Neil! The journey continues…

Thanks. Almost at 2 years now. Here’s to the third!

Thanks!

Thanks for your support!

Yes I agree. In fact, I was planning on revisiting some tunes in June for the 2 year mark.

Thanks for listening!

@@PipingHotMess My pleasure! You're an inspiration to me!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks man! Will do.

hahaha I could try playing over the hills and far away. But I think you might still be able to hear me.

It’s a work in progress for sure! Thank you for the support :)

@@PipingHotMess My pleasure! Would you like to correspond?

Always!

Welcome to the club! I hope you have many happy years of piping ahead of you.

I have a few I’m working on at the moment. I think the Steam Boat is due to be recorded shortly. Is there anything in particular you’d like to see?

@PipingHotMess You could maybe try all the blue bonnets are over the border may be later though depending on how tricky you find it I suppose

@@NeilSw10 I'll certainly take a look at it!

Thanks Fred! They're a nice sounding set of pipes... at least when they're played by someone who can play well ;)

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! It really does help keep me motivated to keep moving forward! Happy Easter.

@@PipingHotMess It's my pleasure, my friend! If you'd care to correspond I would really enjoy it! Happy Easter to you, too!

Unsure if you think all bagpipes sound like cats fighting or just mine? I can't help you with the former lol, but I'm working on the latter ;)

Hi there! I have a Fraser Warnock reed in the PC.

Thanks! I do feel like I could have played this little slower and cleaner.

Thanks Bruce!

Welcome to the party! It's a wonderful instrument to learn with so many awesome tunes. Glad to hear you're getting lessons. My teacher has really helped keep me on track. I hope you have many years of happy piping ahead of you!

Thanks! This one had me tying myself in pretzels. It’s not where I’d like it to be but it an honest attempt.

You got it Bruce.

Thanks man! Right now I’m an hour on the PC and 2 x 30 min sessions on the pipes.

Thank you @eanderson723! It’s been a wild ride over the past year and a half and I appreciate your support. You have a good eye. It is indeed a McCallum Blackwood chanter and was a wonderful birthday present from my wife. Happy Piping!

Thanks! Things are slowly moving in the right direction. Hope you have a happy new year full of excellent piping.

Thanks!

Thanks I appreciate the love!

My pleasure. Thanks for listening!

Working on it!

Thanks for the advice! Anything in particular I should be focusing on with them? Eg., more low G on the throws?

If i can be very precise for what i can see in order of priority: 1. embellishment speed, you should become more comfortable with the embellishments. this is a matter of Basic scales playing over and over until you get sick of it and speeding it up slightly over time. 2. Crisp gracenoting. Your gracesnotes are really, REALLY big. try playing them as if you are having magnets in your fingers which attract them to your chanter. (Pull up fast and short then explode back) This will make the tune sound WAY better real Quick. 3. Watch the beat. Try to start the embellishments at the right time. Ec doublings ON the beat and not before it. get the book rithmic fingerworks play the exercises of that book over and over every day for about 15 min with the audio recordings next to it, then when you get the hang of it use only a metronome really slowly. This helped me a lot. I will upload a video for you today in which i record my scales on pipes (just got past my 1000 hour practice mark last wednesday so i should make a New video for progress.. i will make 2. one Just for you with the exercises and my standard every day warm up routine. i think you will.find it very valueable. 😊

Thanks Bruce! I appreciate the thoughtful reply. That's very helpful advice!!
