It's gurdy time!
When the summer approaches, all buskers and folk festival players come out to sport their new shiny i-spent-my-four-paychecks-on-this-send-help HURDY GURDIES!
So to guarantee you're well equipped for this journey, we're talking about top beginner hurdy gurdy players mistakes! Probably made by 99% percent of people at the start of their journey...
And sometimes also 2.5 years after the start... (guilty) 🤣
⚠️ GURDY PLAYERS: This is a general humorous advice for the beginners on the hurdy gurdy. Nothing will replace a lesson with a professional player, especially an in-person one.
ℹ️ TEACHERS: if you spot a mistake in the video or have something to add, feel free to comment on this! I am mostly self taught and I want to keep my advice as useful and error-free for other gurdy players as possible.
Thank you!

Always great to see more hurdy-gurdy tutorial videos, It would be great to see a coup / trumpet technique video from you in the future, your playing is really impressive and I'm sure a lot of players would benefit from it (including me)!

Thank you! For the trompette I could totally do a tutorial in the future 😄 That's a great plan. Until then... My take is: I try to relax my couping arm and forearm and focus the movement source on the wrist (I played drums... So that's who I am 😂)

Thank you for posting this. I'm a beginner to the hurdy gurdy and honestly music in general, so I need help wherever I can get it

Glad that the video is useful! It's a very general advice however. How about starting learning slowly but intentionally about things like: how sounds are made, how chords are made, what is an interval, why some melodies sound sad, and some not? What is a tempo, time signature, meter? There is a lot information online on this. I think searching for things like "basic/beginner music theory" can get you far. I think it's extremely important to learn basic principles of music alongside learning an instrument if it's your first. I still learn theory by the way. It's a huge thing. Always something new to know about. But satisfying. Nothing to be afraid of... Unlike some teachers 🤣And good luck on your journey! Edit: about the hurdy gurdy, if you've never played an instrument before I really recommend getting a teacher 😉 Nothing better than building great technical habits from the start.
