Wow…blows me out of the water. I think we’ve been playing for about the same amount of time. I can just barely snag grace notes, let alone write my own piece and add ornamentation to that Good job!
Thanks for the kind words,
this certainly have given me some confidence to keep posting tunes in the future
I have a confession to make :-/ I have been playing the guitar on and off for 10 years, and sing some as well. I guess this helps as my fingers are reasonably well trained and coordinated.
Even though most people probably would want to kill me when I sing, I guess I have developed some kind of breathing technique as well.
Oh… one more thing the crowd now begins to throw rocks at Pan I have played around with harmonica, panpipes, zamponas… even a quena… havent been able to play anything succesfully on these though, only a tune or two. But I guess some breathing/blowing skills have come from it.
I´m really happy I started with the whistle, first I searched the net for a wooden flute in D, some maker suggested a whistle as a start and i thought that was a good idea when I understood how cheap the whistles were.
Do you think I´m satisfied with my cheap whistles??? well… both yes and no. I can say as much as this; Order is layed for Copeland high and low D as well as A and D from Abell (in blackwood). Knowing myself I guess I will own a “real” Irish-keyless-D-Flute in a year or so as well.
