Please definitely do more of these! I struggle to play music by reading sheets but videos like this make it so much easier!

Nice, now I need a hurdy gurdy...

It's certainly improved my airgurdy skills!

The mechanical clicks of the fingers sound so good too cos they r in rhythm as well n add another sort of percussion layer to the leading track

As someone who doesn't have a teacher, I find this type of tutorial VERY HELPFUL. I would love more of these in the future!! Thanks Patty!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Keep making these!

Yes! More tutorials too please! The Longing would be another good one! Love both your solo version and the Storm Seeker original! I'm saving up for my own gurdy now, then will just need someone to help guide me. I'll be looking for an instructor, but I will gladly take any advice! Keep on playing and being you Patty!!!

This was excellent! Please keep the tutorials coming!

This sings to my soul. 🌹🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing this! Especially thanks for the screen shot of the sheet music. I listen to Gurdy's Green almost every day and have been wanting to know how to play it (on my cello). Can't wait to try it out!

I have no idea why I have never heard of this instrument, I want one, it is beautiful, especially your green one, I want.

Please more tutorials! This is amazing! Never even heard of hurdy gurdy before accidentally coming across your channel today but now I totally need to get one!

Thank you for another wonderful informative tutorial. Good explanation of the drone kick/hiccup thingy. It does set drone instruments apart. I thought it may have been something to bring timing inline as I know generally bagpipes and other drone instruments play really well for marching songs. 👍

Never seen a hurdy gurdy cover tutorial before. That was lovely.

Love it, I start playing arabic oud 3 o 4 years ago and you kick my ass back in it again thanks, I love your music.

I've read about Hurdy Gurdys in books about medieval times, and being discussed in elementary school, but this is the first time I've seen one in action. I had no idea they were such a versatile and awe inspiring instrument. Thank you for this very interesting Vlog. Looks like an incredible instrument. Now I know what I've been missing.

This is awesome! Thank you very much for the tutorial!

Sure seems very well explained Patty (can't really say cuz I ain't a musician), always lovely to see you playing.

Good tutorial, thanks!

yes, thank you patty !

I do enjoy your tutorials and enjoy seeing you smile.....

I think I'm going to try to transcribing this to my guitar ❤️ friggin love this melody!!!

Brilliant. Would love to play music like that.

Fantastic enjoy all your videos thank you for sharing😍

awesome ! vielen dank Patty

Wow! I missed a lot being sick... Came here after seeing "PAINTING MY NEW GURDY GREEN @ BASS LINE" and wanting to see the Green Gurdy in action. Absolutely wonderful... Tutorials are always welcomed!

Really nice. Even for who don't have a gurdy this is a great song to try .. It's also nice to see you playing and hear a solo of this amazing instrument . I found you after I heard the gurdy in Black Sails series intro's.

Thanks ... great to see how you play this old instrument ..!!

I love this. Thank you for the tutorial. It is so clear and informative. Now for a Hurdy Gurdy.

Hurdy gurdy - WOW !!

Hallo Patty, I have been obsessed with the Gurdy since I was a teen when I saw Page & Plant ( Led Zeppelin ) live and they had amongst their many guest musicians a man with a gurdy blasting a solo in the middle of the concert. Wow. I never got my hands on one but watching your videos makes me happy. Thanks :)

I like the the little clicky sounds the gurdy makes when the keys are pushed. It sounds like tiny clapping 👏

Thumbs up for a hiccup lol. I'm still mesmerized by this tune, as well as your voice and accent. I think this will be one of my favorite melodies for years to come. It's a good tutorial, taught well. Can't believe it's almost been a year already

I learned a lot ,thank you from Tennessee

Hab abonniert mit Glocke und so... Echt gutes Tutorial. Hurdy Gurdy ist das erste Musikinstrument, dass mich so richtig interessiert. Es wird auch das Erste sein, was ich wir kaufen und spielen lernen möchte.

I'm learning the hurdy-gurdy now because of you! Thank you for this tutorial!!

you are like a celtic angel!

Thank you Patty for this tutorial, it's very much appreciated! And YES! Please make a video about glued cotton and rosin and how you can play in reverse!!! I really enjoy how you describe the ornaments as shivers and hiccups, it's very helpful :)

Patty, we need some Christmas carols from you.

Perfect video, Patty

I love your voice and accent. and you play the Gurdy quite well.

Love it!

Lindo vídeo,ótimo tutorial Patty😚

Sehr schön erklärt

great tutorial thanks, I don't have a gurdy. but it kinda works on my accordion. Hope I don't get arrested by the gurdy police

Very nice piece of music even on chromatic armonica. Thanks for sharing!

Very good!!

WOW just Wow 😮

More of this, please

Thank you! I don't have a hurdy gurdy, but it was very interesting seeing how they are played.

Thank you!!!!!

Hi Patty. I have to say you've been my BIG INSPIRATION and thank you for this tutorial. And you know what? I've ordered my first hurdy gurdy (almost - we're now arranging details with the maker :D). I'm really looking forward to learn to play Gurdy's Green. But I have to wait a bit (few months :-P :D).

love this ♡♡♡

Hypnotized by this instrument... I'm buying a 2nd hand gurdy

Patty I wish I could play Hurdy Gurdy. I’m just so lost where to start. I don’t really have an inspirations or motivations in life at all. It’s tough. Anyways, I enjoy your videos so much and I love Gurdy’s Green. You are so good at this!

I love you so much! Ty

This song is so awesome.... my question is will you ever do a more extended version of it with a better ending instead of an abrupt ending ??? I wanted this song to go on longer and a tapered off ending..... I just cant stop listening to this song..... Anyway love your music and singing and wish you the very best in your carreer....... I am a new subscriber now and currently binge watching all your youtube videos..... Much love from many of us fans here in America. !!! 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

its a very good Tutorial for beginers to play Hurdy Gurdy and its a nice melody

Spiele zwar keine Hurdy Gurdy, aber deine Videos sind echt cool und die Musik auch :)

Love Patty ✌️😁

i know that in bagpipes the tapping notes between notes are called "grace notes" but i have no idea about gurdys, always wanted to learn how to play hurdy gurdy but could never afford one. i stand in awe of your skill! maybe some day i can save up enough to afford one and start leaning

Preciosa you are the best. HERMOSA Felicidades good job

Need more tutorials like this and also a Good Gurdy XD

Please a tutorial on the longing, I haven't been a fan long but I love every video keep it up!

Love it !!

This was the perfect kind of video! You are very talented and it is nice to get a lesson on how to play the gurdy! Also, I think I remember something about you getting a new gurdy. When do we get to see that?

Tnx Patty.

This makes me want to try my hands on a hurdy gurdy

Awesome tutorial! Makes me wish I had a gurdy...

Your music is amazing! I am curious, do you have to know how to play music to play the hurry hurry?

bravissima complimenti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Súper !! :)

Is that back forward back forward trill used to keep the same timing in the song without moving the handle past the current quarter? So each bar is still a single rotation of the wheel?

Toll, jetzt hab ich Lust auf einen Workshop bekommen. Ich hoffe du machst noch einige Tutorials for beginners. :D

Can you let me know why this instrument/you bring me to tears everytime I listen to it?

Awesome . . . as ever :)

Hey Patty! Komme grad frisch aus Lißberg zurück (liebe Grüße) und konnte deinem Video nun frisch aufgewärmt gut folgen. Das PiP erübrigt die Fragen nach dem Fingersatz. Ähnlich hab ich es bei "the longing" probiert, komme aber nicht über den 1. Teil hinaus. Würde mich sehr freuen wenn du dir dafür auch nochmal die Zeit nehmen würdest :-)

It´s a interesting instrument.

I have a HURDY GURDY comin at the end of this month! Ad ima play it so HARD with this song

hola,Patty,no soy ni fui nunca musico,pero me gusta esto y estoy viendo de conseguir una zanfona por estos lados (Argentina) y aprender a tocar...

I want a hurdy gurdy so bad, watching you play legit gives me goose bumps.

Loved it 💗 Now do one on your KZfaq theme 🎶

Very nice tune also on chromatic armonica!

Nice tutorial. If I had all the notes written one-by-one, i could arrange it on my synthesizer. Gurdy's Greeen was catchy for me :)

Awesome. I assume that people need to have the same tuning and keyboard to play it ? Or is it always the same ?

I never heard grace notes called 'shiver' or 'hiccup' before, but it's a great way to express the idea. I wonder if there are some rules of thumb for what ornamentation to play, like Great Highland Bagpipes have? Thumbs up!

When I'm practicing my whistle or gemshorn, I tend to slip into "The Longing." It's a super catchy tune.

Can you play other Hurdy Gurdys out of the blue or would you tune it?

Not sure if you're still replying to this video. But, is there a way to mute the noise it makes when you hit different keys? The clacking of the keys, for me, interferes with the beautiful sound of the gurdy. Also I'll never play this instrument but it's great to watch talented people(such as yourself) play and explain things about this amazing contraption.

Where do I buy a hurdy gurdy for a start? And how do I learn for a total beginner? I have so many questions xD

wait.... where can I foind the intro song!!! It's so nice. :)

Great tutorial, now I just need to buy a hurdy gurdy.

Do you know how to play the firefly theme tune?

Brilliant tutorial. I have no one to teach me the gurdy; have you made a beginners video?

I just bought my first hurdy and I think that gonna be the first song that I'll learn. :P

wow... Now I really want to learn to play hurdy gurdy :)

So I screen shotted the composition, but without knowing how to read notes, it’s gonna take me a little longer to learn I’m guessing! Lol thanks for your great videos Patty

Thank to you for this tutorial ! i love your song and i can not wait to try ! :p In fact, I begin the hurdy-gurdy and your channel its a real motivation for me ;D Ps : sorry for my english (Les français sont nuls en anglais, ce n'est pas une légende !)

Hi Patty greetings from out of Finland. I am very inspired to learn to play the Hurdy Gurdy and realy love your music. Although i just found your music the Hurdy Gurdy has been on my visor for years. I have music background as multi instrumentalist musician and professional music educator so i feel i will pick it up rather. quick. The question remains... can you advice/ recommend on where to buy proper Hurdy Gurdie. Even so what brand is yours for instance. Looking forward receiving and reading your reply. Kind healthy regards from the Dutch guy in Finland. Bastiaan Anthonie Baaij / aka Manupeo
