I was having a dream about this tin whistle solo. This video came at crazy timing and now my arthritis is cured, my wife came back and the rain stopped
As a sax player who literally bought a penny whistle a week just to learn this solo after watching your video thanks for this. Couldn't have come at a better time
Yup, hope you got a cut Frankie! I had D whistles from Susato, Clarke, Feadóg, Sweet tone, and a beloved Generation Bb in brass. Been admiring your live covers for a while so I went ahead and ordered the F whistle as soon as I discovered this tutorial.
Your first point addressing people who argue over the whistle name is hilarious. Really gets that out of the way asap - I wonder if anyone’s going to leave a pedantic comment before they even get to that part of the video.
As a former saxophone player, your explanation at the start of the advanced tutorial where you wrote everything out as if it were in the key of D suddenly clicked in my head when the notes lined up so close to saxophone fingerings. I haven't played sax in years, but I could feel my fingers starting to move with the music.
I can see Irish primary school teachers frantically taking notes (or more accurately referring to your tabs for tin whistles in the key of D). Where other countries use recorders as their starter instrument, tin whistles are more commonly used in Ireland for (fairly) obvious reasons. They have until September (with currently miserable weather) to practice.
Well, I had a D and Bb tin whistle.... Now I have an F... Which my fingers only just fit on! Tin whistles are an amazing instrument - you put air and rhythm in one end and an authentic sounding tune comes out the other.
For me, this tutorial is so that when this gets called on a gig the horn players have no excuse to not play the record. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to play a song you like lol
I was going to leave a comment about the Pied Piper (with Tin Whistle) and something about all the Foolish Franks (Anton) following you but decided to just say, "COOL training video." 😂
This is the first time I’m deliberately learning a new piece in at least five years. My lips are sore, my teeth are buzzing, and I’m still unable to hit that high F consistently, but I’m having more fun than in music school. Yes, I don’t have a tin whistle 😆
It was not. I believe it was the saxophone player in the band but I forget his name off the top of my head. Someone will hopefully remember and comment
just got one, its waaay harder than it seems, even doing the right fingers im just get squealing.. im realising i cant just blow through it, it needs to be controlled to stop it octaving..
@@FoolishFrankie thanks yeah i play keys in a wedding band and have always played the whistle bit on the keys... so hoping to learn it on an actual whistle and surprise them one night :D

Thanks Al.
I’m buying a tin whistle just so I can bring it into rehearsal and pull it out instead of my trombone
Let’s gooo!!
@@FoolishFrankieim gonna ask to do a jazz solo with this and there is a high chance i’ll have a day to prepare. What should i do for an improv
The guy sitting in front of you, thanks you.
I was having a dream about this tin whistle solo.
This video came at crazy timing and now my arthritis is cured, my wife came back and the rain stopped
What😂😂
You sure it was a dream and not just a high dose if whatever? 😂
😂😂❤
You had me till your wife came back 😂 dang it I hate being gullible!!!
As a sax player who literally bought a penny whistle a week just to learn this solo after watching your video thanks for this. Couldn't have come at a better time
Let’s goooo🔥🙌🏻
You've probably motivated 1,000s of people to go buy a whistle with this one
I hope so!! I don’t want any saxophone players having excuses for not playing the solo like the record on these gigs🫣
I'm one of them xD

AKCHSHALLY a _tin_ whistle is
LMAO sorry I’ve gotten so many comments about it 😂
Been playing tin whistle for ten years, been waiting for this for ten years - Thank you!!
don't you mean TIN years!?
@@akaaru5581 Hahahaha Tin years it is!
As someone who doesn't own a whistle and doesn't plan on buying one, I will be watching this video in full.
😂😂🙏🏻

Ayy I’m glad that was helpful!!
I’m Literally gonna buy a whistle just to play this! You’re so inspiring!
Ayy that’s awesome to hear! Soon we will be an army of whistle players on this tune🫡
I was thinking I should do the same. Frankie should get himself an affiliate link so he gets a piece of the profits he’ll generate!❤
the family function is gonna go crazy with this one 🔥
It’s amazing how popular the tin whistle and your video became - you did such a masterful job with the solo!
Thank you very much!🙏🏻
Making tutorials is a very good idea. Keep up the good work ^_^
Thank you!!

Great tutorial ! You should do more like this. Well, now my whistle is ordered, can't wait to work on it. Thank you :)
Thanks☺️
I’m glad I’m not the only saxophonist with a love for the tin whistle.
Well, I had a D and Bb tin whistle.... Now I have an F... Which my fingers only just fit on!

You've got a nice teaching style Frankie!
I appreciate that!
Lol bro I literally got a slide whistle today for my birthday. I'm boutta make my family go crazy
MY GOD! HE'S DONE IT FOLKS, HE'S DONE IT!!!
😂😂
I got a tin whistle and I can’t lie this is extremely impressive bro 👏
I’m glad you’re learning! Keep practicing! 👍
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This helps so much. I'm honestly shocked you saw my comment and actually made this video!
Of course!! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you very much. You should definitely do more stuff like this please!?
Eh I don’t really enjoy making tutorials right now but if that ever changes I’ll let you know. Thanks for watching :)
Watching this, makes me think of middle schoolers learning careless whisper just to show off. No dirt on you tho.
For me, this tutorial is so that when this gets called on a gig the horn players have no excuse to not play the record. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to play a song you like lol
@@FoolishFrankie Thats what i thought, great tutorial.
IDK how I missed the notification... but, great tutorial Frankie!
Thank you!!
We got Frankie pointing at a flute before GTA VI

Just bought the tin whistle for marching band, TIME TO LEARN IT
Let’s goooo🔥
I’m another one of the hundreds buying the tin whistle just for this!
Ayyy happy to hear! it’s a ton of fun!!
This is so early! I love your vids I'm a sax player myself!
Thank you so much!!🔥🙌🏻
Using a tin whistle inside my saxophone for my next jazz solo
😂
This is the first time I’m deliberately learning a new piece in at least five years. My lips are sore, my teeth are buzzing, and I’m still unable to hit that high F consistently, but I’m having more fun than in music school. Yes, I don’t have a tin whistle 😆
Feels illegal to be this early
👀
Can that be also played in a recorder?
'The Best' tin whistle solo literally 😅
Is that a neon max cape decoration in the background???
Yessss😂
Cant belive my father gave me a tin wistle and I lost it now I have to buy another one
At least they’re inexpensive
I want one to serenade the forest creatures like a disney princess
Yeaaaaahhh!!!!! 🤩
I saw it in one of your yt short, really amazing. I thought it was a pen😅
Hi Frankie can you post a full video of when you played this song on St. Patricks day? You have it as a short but i wanna hear the whole song
I don’t have a recording sorry!
@@FoolishFrankie dang I really love that song and I liked the "Saint Anne reel" addition.
First time I've made it to a FoolishFrankie video this early!!!
🥺❤️
Heard it in my head before clicking lol.
LOL
Who originally wrote/performed this solo? was it Paul Simon himself, like in the video ??
It was not. I believe it was the saxophone player in the band but I forget his name off the top of my head. Someone will hopefully remember and comment
@@FoolishFrankie that's Morris Goldberg, I believe
Can you make a video of you and your group playing work song please it’s my favorite song
I’m pretty sure we played that in my graduation vlog?
It would take me the rest of my life to learn this 🤣
It’s easier than it seems!
ok, but can you also add in the st anne one too!!??
LOL just learn at Anne’s reel from another tutorial and plug it in!
My tin whistle is in Eb so I think I'll learn this on the recorder
yeahhhhh W video frankie
🙌🏻🫡
Any chance will get some Irish tunes?
I have some Irish tunes posted on my Instagram!
just got one, its waaay harder than it seems, even doing the right fingers im just get squealing.. im realising i cant just blow through it, it needs to be controlled to stop it octaving..
Yeah it takes way less air than you think! You can do it though, just takes a little practice:)
@@FoolishFrankie thanks yeah i play keys in a wedding band and have always played the whistle bit on the keys... so hoping to learn it on an actual whistle and surprise them one night :D
I'm sorry but is that a comp cape neon light in the back?
If you know what this is then hell yeah, if not pay no mind
It’s a max cape from OSRS lol
@@FoolishFrankie hell yeah 😎
Erm! It's actually... called a Penny Whistle 🤓☝ (i had never heard of this instrument before in my life)
What song is this
The way you look tonight by Frank Ocean
Heck yeah!
What key is the whistle in?
Watch the video
@@FoolishFrankie I watch and do not understand
My f (…ing) whistle isn’t working 🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧🙏♥️
First view and comment again?!?
Today is a good day.
❤️
You. Are a gem. Thankyou so much!
Happy to help!
This is NOT the Ron Burgandy solo from anchorman
That’s a different instrument
@@FoolishFrankie Ik… the title said the most iconic whistle solo and it reminded me of a flute so yeah… 😂
Contemplating investing large amounts of time just to learn this specific solo without any previous knowledge on any wind instruments (not really)
LOL worth it imo
Thought it would be Down Under
That’s a flute I think
I'm playing on c alto ocarina 💀
I Keep hitting my braces with the mouthpiece 🥲
That’s pretty sick though tbh
Heroes! Thank you! 🎉
