It was nice to get to this video in the series knowing already how to do a light D throw (because I had jumped ahead in order to learn how to play amazing grace for my wife)
I just want to say Matt Willis is a great instructor who breaks down every movement and simplifies things for novices like myself. Another great video, well done Matt!
I've never been able to figure out the light D throw, even with my tutor CDs, they show how to play it slowly then at full speed and I just couldn't grasp what was taking place, but I knew from the sound that I had it wrong. You're an excellent teacher Matt, you're really helping me a lot and I thank you for that.
Sometimes, it's great to go back to the basics :) especially when the exercise proposed is different from the original explanations you had when learning bagpipe. It's refreshing :) I better play the light d-throw now. Thanks Matt !
Thank you so much for this video! I hated my light d throws, and this video really helped. I found that my heavy d throws are way better sounding, and I prefer playing them up until I saw your video. I was taught that in the light d throw steps that the “d” would be like a gracenote to c .... I don’t like the sound it produces and it also seems out of place in the melody🤢
Thanks for this video. It seems like there are several different ways to play this throw on D. That's quite interesting. BTW, it looks like there's something on the tip of your PC, is that a Reedwrangler?
I feel like there should be a D throw on D with the B transition just because of the rule on D grips. Is this a thing? BWW notation I tried from the Bagpipe player (& 2_4 sharpf sharpc I! gg D_4 LGr_32 Br_32 Cr_32 ^ts Dl_32 Dl_8 'd ^te !I)

I appreciate that!
You're darn tootin
I find the tune "The Piper of Drummond' excellent for practicing the light D throw
Yes indeed! Nice tune as well.

This is blowing my mind. Thank you for the clarity! Great video 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the clarity in explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Wunderbar
HOUSE LANNISTER!!! Hear me roar!
I can play the light D throw ok, but I want to get it faster so it sounds like a "dla" sound that you hear with the Grade1 and Master pipers.
Try my Heavy D Throw video:

Just a mouthpiece protector on the practice chanter
iam swathing from 🇧🇩
Lagavulin is far and away my fave. I wish they didn't give the Lannister to Lagavulin.

Great video. Just to be clear, the first G note is before the beat and the first D on the beat?
Yes, that is correct. 👍
@@MattWillisBagpiper Thanks.
Hmmmm, as it turns out, I've never played either one correctly. I personally favor the heavy D-throw.
How were you going about playing them?
@@MattWillisBagpiper grip style.
I was taught the COP D throw and now have to change to Light D Throw 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
How does this light D throw differ from the COP version?
