A lot of the reason celtic music with the tin whistle sounds so good is the little trills and flourishes added in. Practice adding in little trills and extra notes here and there and you'll be amazed how much it changes the sound! When I started I thought the same thing, and honestly felt like my whistle was a glorified recorder...
Just keep listening,a musician's greatest skill is to learn to listen!! I promise you. Especially Irish music you always notice they never read sheet music. Why you may ask? Because it's an Irish tradition. You become better because you learn to play from the heart. Learning by ear forces us to play from the heart. And when you speak pray or perform from the heart it always is much better and genuine. American culture is so superficial that this is something that we have not learned and have ignored because everything is so commercialized and this country. We are a nation of idiots but that's an other subject.
This music pulls at my heart strings strongly and feels so familiar even though I have never left America in my whole life. Maybe it's just the fact that I have a love of music as a player and listener. Kind of like when you watch cooking shows and the chefs and judges always say some bullshit like "simple, honest ingredients". I think k that's why it hits my heartstrings so. This video is the musical equivalent of "simple and honest ingredients" in cooking.
Well done lads very good I love to hear just whistle and bodhran together I play both am always looking on you tube for these two instruments together as they are my favourite very well done lads I've subscribed to yous hope to hear more off you both brilliant 🐱
Thanks a lot. I post a little less recently on youtube but if you have facebook, you'll find all the new content. I don't get to play with Gildas as often as I'd like but I started a band with two other friends, it's called Cornaline : ua-cam.com/video/0_CpmDpkcDU/v-deo.html
Just found this by accident, really loving this celtic music 🎶, I think you have plenty of talent guys will watch more,if there's more and the whistle player looks like my mate Jack.😊❤
Sadly I kind of slowed a lot down on practice due to life and my dog howling and trying to sing with me whenever I try and play. Lol. I did get over half way through the first song. But yeah. Sadly I've fallen down on practice due to life.
Is it me or is everyone suddenly into tin whistle? I think Rupert Sheldrake's M Field may explain a bit. Ordered mine from Lir. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the content 🤙🏽
Hummm. I've read "The Science Delusion" wouldn't put stock in it. But this is not a science forum. So my real question is what do you think of the Lir?
@@soslothful The maker ? I never tried Lir whistles. So far I only tried generation, dixon and goldie, and I have a nice wooden whistle made by Phil Bleazey. To be honest, I'm so happy with the Goldie that I think the next time i'll put money in an instrument, it will be to get a wooden flute
I got a Irish music Tik tok and I play tin. Whistle and sing Irish music on their im 67 percent Irish DNA lol I'm even learning the Irish language too i will be writing songs in Irish language. To preserve my heritage much love from California USA Dia Dhuit ❤
Any basic one available at the closest music shop will do. I personnally started with a generation and it was fine. I don't recommend putting money on fancy tin whistles early on since most of the cheap ones do a really fine job, and you'll figure out what could be better by playing it. If you want to put some money into it, the first thing you should look for is a tuning slide. That will allow you to stay in tunes with other players.
Hi. On the B part, you have all this "B-e-e-F#-e-e-A-e-e-F#". I cut between the double E notes, using my right index. I would suggest you to work on this at slow speed, and with a metronome, because you should take care to not speed up when cutting notes (which I do, in this video). When you're comfortable with the pattern, speed up the pace.
Hi, thank you. In this video, it was about a year since I started playing tin whistle. Now it will soon be three years, and I'm mostly playing low whistle
@@Neo-mw1pp First, I had the luck to know a bit of music theory, which helped me a lot ! (Guitar lessons in my childhood) I mostly played and learnt at my local "Irish Session", ask them for tunes names, music sheets etc... As it's a "french irish session", I can't guarantee that my playing is 100% irish, but lately I've been listening to more irish and scottish music and I've tried reproducing the effects and ornaments
Great video! I really like the clean transitions between the jigs. I have a question, are you two playing this in 4/4 or 6/8? Trying to learn and honestly 4/4 sounds better to me at the moment.
Jigs are counted in 3 but to a two step beat. So it’s 123, 123, 123, 123, but it’s easy to hear the 1, 1, 1, 1, and count it as 1,2 or 1,2,3,4 if you are unfamiliar with the jig timing and style. Count it in 3s and listen to the melody in the whistle and you will hear the 123, 123, rhythm.
When you're making the stops during Swallowtail, are you tonguing or using glottal stops? Since I first watched your video a couple of weeks ago I've picked up my old whistle again and taught myself Morrison's and Swallowtail from watching your video, so thanks a lot!
At this point at was still using tonguing (way too much) and didn't know about glottal stop. I'm happy that this video inspires you, but I'd advise you not to repeat my mistakes : work with a metronome ! =)
@@quatremaillemusique Thanks for the good advice. I'll be sure to practice with the metronome. And just so you know, I have watched many of your more recent videos, too.

I just started playing tin whistle, been practicing Swallowtail's Jig for a while and I stumbled upon this video today. Beautiful performance! The melody sounds similar but fairly different from what I have been practicing though. Is it an original arrangement? So much better than the version I have gotten from Google XD
Traditionnal music used to be learned and shared by ear. The writing of music sheets is somewhat recent and it's very common to find different interpretations of a same tune, due to the hazards of oral traditions I didn't write this version, it is just the first one I learnt The best thing to do is to listen to many versions, and play the ones you prefer as variations of the same tune
@@quatremaillemusiqueThank you for the insightful advice! That makes me wonder what this piece might've sounded centuries ago. It makes sense to learn different variations by ear! I have been practicing your version and this will probably stay as THE swallow tail's jig I will play from now on 👍
For a first tin whistle ? I'd go for a Generation in D with a brass body. If the tuning is a bit off, dip the head in hot water to remove the glue, and adjust the headpiece.
@@quatremaillemusique Thank you for your answer, what do you use yourself? I have been playing a Feadog for a while now, and looking for my next piece :D
I don't play tin whistle so much since I discovered low whistle. I tend to think that the cheap whistles do a very correct job for the price, and since I lost the dixon you can see in this video, I'm back with a generation. I didn't try out many expensive whistles, but if I were to get one, I'd probably go for either a killarney or a wooden instrument.
@@quatremaillemusique thanks mate! I work at home using pomodori, wich is working for 25 minutes and resting for 5,i make it work for 30 and rest for 30,in the rest I always play atleast 5 minutes, so every day I'm putting some work :D
@@kendarr That's the most important part, because you loose much faster than you learn, but just a tiny bit of work everyday is enough to keep you going forth. Of course, if you practice more, it's even better, but practicing daily is the key
I have looked a few times at this video and o I am positive that the person playing the whistle is playing a different tune than can be heard, his finger movements don't match the tune But maybe I'm wrong
The view can be deceptive. You cannot see the rhythmic breathing nor tongue cuts and his cut ornamentations, rolls and cranns, have very subtle movents.
All right. I admit I don't know a lot about ornamentation I have just taken up the whistle recently the tune is good and if I end up play ing half a good as this chap I'll be happy. I really have a lot to learn
