First post Hello

Whistle

Hello there everybody!
First post in this forum, but I didn’t find a place to introduce me. Please excuse possible mistakes in my language, I am from Germany and my english lessons were some times ago.

Well, I play the tinwhistle for some months now and created a youtube channel as some kind of “diary” for myself, but although as a possibility to get some critics by better players. So, feel free to comment and I hope you have fun while listening, even if it is nothing special :wink:

Hi Tarin, and welcome!

Lots of people to learn from and ask here,
There’s clips and snips, a tune archive sent in by fellow whistlers: http://www.tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/

You can always post a link to your you tube site here too.

Hi,

oh, I forgot the link to the channel. That explains the new thread instead of my post in the YT Thread. Thanks to the admin! :smiley:

My Channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/WhistlesOnTin

Welcome Tarin.

And, since you did say to feel free to comment …

… just one: SLOW DOWN. You’ll never catch the bus anyway, and you’ll get there more surely at a steady walk.

Yeah, I know. Especially in the older recordings I played much too fast. My version of the silver spear is… crap. Wanted to play so fast like all the others and it didn’t work :wink: I’m practicing much slower at the moment, especially the harder tunes.

Excellent! You’ll be grand.

And, again, welcome to the board.

Welcome, Tarin!

This is a fun place to be, as most players here don’t take themselves too seriously, and the ones who do usually have a right to–and give advice compassionately.
As for playing too fast–if you can, try to get ahold of some recordings by Joannie Madden or Cherish the Ladies. They play at what I feel is the perfect speed; they make you want to tap your foot, but not at the frenetic pace of some recordings I hear. I have no desire to play that fast.
It’s the “bounce” of Irish music more than the speed that makes people want to clap.

Thanks I’ll try to get some records!

@Fidget
I’m not sure if I understood the last part about my diary. If you mean: Thanks, I wouldn’t dare to show such skills to the world, but hey, I’m not the only beginner" - then have fun with it, that’s what it was made for :wink:
