Kind of like meditation. What's more simpler then sitting and breathing, yet it takes a life time

You are so brutally welcome, and thank You a lot!

This is what I really LOVE to hear! That you've put it into practice! I am surprised it works! ;-)

@@DuendeDidgeridoo I love your accent. It is funny in your reply. I don't think you meant that you are surprised it works you mean you are happy that it works

exactly, so good. Check this guy, here is a great inspiration for me: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z96fdrxkyZrcaZc.html what do you think?

Hakan, I know brother, you have been waiting for a billion years. But now the time has come and your practice will make all the difference for the next billion years to be better! So your comment is just perfect.

Thank you. You too.

Horst! Ludi brate! Will you come to Eisenbach this year? I would be really nice, long time no see..

Strong lips. Good didge. Lots of training.

Hi! I am not sure I understand your question. A good didgeridoo is really important for your development. When you become good you can get a lot of sound of a bad didge, but it is difficult to get there with a bad didge. I play didge as my job, so unless you doo the same, you will probably get only an approximation of (some of) these sounds, but it will suffice to allow you to enjoy playing didgeridoo more. If I missed the point of your question, sorry, maybe you can rephrase it then a bit...

Thanks! Very glad you like it

This man can teach math me thinks : simple math for kindergarten and complex math for science...

I also like the Yolnu style. Check out Hard tongue didgeridoo by Milkay Mununggurr.

try a 3-month everyday practice per this video ☝`

A new video that will help you exactly for the second exercise is coming! :-)

Thousands of beanies made by Ze Mother... got to wear them all! ;-)

@@DuendeDidgeridoo I think they are cool!

@@sjeter61 I second that!

Hey Sean! Great question! You have a quite common situation. This is usually the case when one didge is a) much better than the others or b) much more familiar than others to you. My thinking is that the amount of time you dedicate to each of 12 depends on how different they are. If they are all similar, then it doesn't matter. In my case I usually perform with 3 different didges that cover most of the possibilities for my playing. One is 232cm long very thin F# (octave below usual), then I have slightly conical B or C around 200cm. Then very conical Eb at 186cm. If I add one to those 3 I add a very tight F or E. If I add another didge, I add 4.5meters D# with huge volume. I guess my logic is quite straightforward. What I like to practice is to be very flexible with changing those didges. So sometimes I take a high F and a low F and play same exercises on them with minimum breaks in between the change. This makes my lips and breath very strong, flexible and responsive. And to add another idea, I think to have a great didge is a great help in practice. One great one means more than 100 bad ones.... I hope this answer helps.

you're inspiration for me! this video has improved my playing. thank you so much for your time. ❤️

Both. But there are tons of circular breathing videos, including one on this channel. I recommend to check it out!

Hey Clarinetcat! I remember you from many years ago, since Ondrej started touring in the US, that you became a fan who expressed his impression on Ondrej publicly. Maybe if I managed to get a visa for the US, we would have become friends as well ;-) Anyway, to reply your question, I want to address the second part of the question and say that it is utterly impossible for anyone living on this planet to claim that kind of exclusion. Not me, not Ondrej, not Picasso, not Da Vinci, not Tesla, not Socrates... not any single human being ever. So even hearing something once influences you or in other words, it flows into you. That being said, Ondrej influenced me far beyond that. We are old friends now, but in the beginning he was really opening portals of perception for me and I still think very highly of him as a player and as a human being. However, I think it is very wrong to try to "explain" what I do now by any single source, apart from the Creative Force of the Universe that created All. It is impossible to track back influences as they are intertwined and date back to the Big Bang. Ondrej didn't become the player he is on a secluded island as well, and so forth. Furthermore, I'd like to say that many influences are "imperfect copies" that might be better than the original. For example, when I developed Aircode, I wasn't influenced by Ondrej at all, but by other players, who also didn't play Aircode, but there was something in that playing that brought me to the place of Aircode. I don't know how well you know didgeridoo scene of Europe from 20 years ago, but things do appear and connect in a way that would be very surprising for the public if it was more known. So... did you get what you were looking for in my answer? Did you ever do exercises from this video? All the best! Du

@@DuendeDidgeridoo Yes, I think I did get what I was looking for in your answer :) I took a 10+ year hiatus from playing didge regularly, and stumbled across this video as I plan to start playing daily again. Thanks for the homework list of exercises, best to you!

@@clarinetcat Welcome back! The didge world has changed in many ways in the last 10 years. The good ways that it has changed are new ways of playing, new sounds, new didgeridoos. All in all, you can find a bigger world when your lips touch the mp and your eyelids go down. Along with the fundamental exercises, I would recommend trying something you've never done before. Like aircode. Especially if you can mic yourself at home and it is simple in these days... Good luck!

You need to check out didgeridoo drum sound tutorial under my videos and it will be MUCH clearer!

Haha my thoughts exactly

Have a look at the new video "didgeridoo drum sound tutorial" it is explained in depth there and you can see how the position of the tongue is in a sketch. It is the only possible way to show what tongue is doing, because with or without didge it is equally invisible.

Thanks for your comment, but please please explain what do Neanderthals have to do with our Australian brothers and sisters... =)

Dubravko Thank you for your reply! A big misunderstanding as I thought. You wouldn’t disrespect the originators of the beautiful instrument you use. Peace my brother.

Ah, I thought so too, but my boyfriends told me I am just average... ;-) So thank you a lot for the comment!

Yes! Mastering the basics really means mastering. Not just passing over basics. And if we look around at all great players we will notice that they indeed have basics on a master level. When the foundation is very strong, it is easy to progress.

Dubravko Lapaine Didgeridoo excellent...
