It's because this video is fire! I listen to it daily. :D

It's a nice video! do you have any updated version?

I like your version as we can hear the tune 😊 I find some people add so much to it that they lose the Melody 😊

Am I allowed to write lyrics? 🥺

@@micatrustyenbie4487 On morrison's jig ? Sure, I don't own these tunes =)

Thanks to you. You'll love this one : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9ycq8h-ksude6s.htmlsi=eC3SPODSHNXjrUPs

Ho thank you so much !

The first immigrants played music from Scotland and Ireland here in America.

I'm very happy to read that, thanks :)

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.

Anna - What make of whistle do you have? Not all are equally well made. That may be part of your problem.

@@gypsyman535 this man speaks such truth haha

Thank you very much ! We both work a lot to make better music. Hopefully next time we'll have a guitar with us. ;)

Ho it's so nice to read that. Thanks a lot

@@quatremaillemusique May i ask what brand of whistle you have in this vid?

@@samhugh08 This one, precisely : www.tonydixonmusic.co.uk/product/soprano-whistle-key-of-d-4/ I'm quite happy with it but after a while, the tuning slide started to loosen up. Nothing that couldn't be fixed with a bit of tape, but I feel I should warn you.

@@quatremaillemusique thanks man! I went through all the comments on this vid and saw your other ones…last night I caved and ordered a Killarney brass D for my friend lol

Thank you so much for replying to everyone on here.

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 : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsVzo9B11dHHdIk.html

Большое спасибо !

I might do an updated version very soon. This one feels very, very outdated :D

Thanks ! :)

Thanks, I'm very happy with this whistle, the sound is always very nice and clear

​@quatremaillemusique I have a Wild whistle. What kind is yours? Sounds very nice.

@@sarahrees8811 This is a dixon, but I lost it. Now I play on a killarney, for tin whistle, and a goldie low

Thanks !

Thank you so much. Have fun with it !

I just got my first Tin whistle and am watching this for inspiration. Great job! Hopefully one day I'll have as good of a tone. 😊

@@acgifford18 How is the playing going? I'm working on a few jigs currently.

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.

Well, you're welcome =)

Haha, the tin whistle is designed for speed (and much more simple than the recorder)

I'm sure you will

Disculpe, no hablo muy bien español :D Muchas gracias

Sorry, I didn't see your comment. The question is very interesting but as far as I know, there is not a specific way to write bodhran music. You shouldn't need to though, because the basic structure, let's say from a reel to another, is pretty much the same, and the ornementation should come naturally from listening and knowing the tune

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.

@@quatremaillemusique I really like the sound you produce doing it. Thanks for the reply!

@@quatremaillemusique wonderful advice

These are irish jigs. I'm not sure how you're counting to end up in 4/4 but these are written and played in 6/8

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.

Thanks. It's a dixon polymer

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

@@quatremaillemusique How did you learn pal, what tutorials etc??

@@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

@@quatremaillemusique Good man! Very enjoyable hobby! 🇮🇪󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁧󠁢󠁳🤝🇫🇷

@@quatremaillemusique Can you recommend a good low whistle?

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. They're all very excellent and inspiring. Also, thanks for taking the time to reply to all the comments and questions. Very noble. Et finalement... Merci beaucoup, mon homme, du Nord du Quebec! Je peux essayer de parler en francais, mais c'est ma langue secondaire, et je ne suis pas certain ci le francais de pays du quebec et comprehensible pour les europeens. A tantot!

@@Quandoozle Haha, si, je comprends. Merci beaucoup =)

I don't know about everyone else but I'm very much into it yes

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

@@quatremaillemusiqueOpps. My Lir query was meant to go to Joff, who mentioned Lir.

That's a Dixon polymer ;)

Ya no, pero antes si

This one is a dixon that I lost since

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 👍

I encourage you to do so ! It's a cheap instrument and very easy to learn

You will, just keep playing five minutes a day and you will.

@@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

This is a Dixon whistle in D

After hearing you play I'd definitely like to learn.

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.

Thank you so much.

What you don't know is that I used to be a goldsmith, and my friend here, at the time, worked on a boat. But we're still alive and well :D

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 thank you! You are a champ!

Exactly. But I lost this one

@@quatremaillemusique Did you check between the sofa cushions?

@@soslothful I didn't lost it at home, unfortunately :)

Only music

What's your question ?

Yes, you are wrong. Lol.

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

@@austinradford7440 if you're interested in learning more about how ornamentation, rhythm, and breathing are used in Irish traditional music, I'd highly recommend looking at Shannon Heaton's channel. She plays flute and whistle, and many of the concepts are applicable to both instruments, and she's a great teacher. Here's her Morrison's Jig video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e86kmrKJu9_Un5c.html

​@@austinradford7440 this is an older channel, but Ryan G. Duns is a solid tin whistle teacher, and geared more toward beginners: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8diYNZ6lbGwiqc.html

What... are you talking about ?

Я согласен, это было еще довольно рано в нашем музыкальном путешествии.
