Please subject yourself to a clip of my playing...

and help me improve. I have been playing for roughly a month now. I’ve posted it to the clips sticky here: https://forums.chiffandfipple.com/t/posting-clips/48046/2240

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/tankmaster7/th_Kissthemaidbehindthebarrel.jpg and there’s a direct link I think.

If it’s not ok to post this separately also since there’s already a sticky, sorry, and I’m sure the mods will remove this if necessary.

-Thanks

One month? Impossible. You’ve played other instruments before, didn’t you? Tin whistle maybe?

That was my response as well!

I enjoyed that video. Your music is very good and that’s some fast playing. You definitely have the fingers for great playing and expression.

Now, getting back to the video, the wallpaper brings a mystery to the video and my mind started to wonder about who picked out that wallpaper in the 80’s and what were the circumstances that caused this to be your room. I had to advert my eyes away from the wallpaper only to see a dress hanging on the door. I didn’t go there. The deepest levels of the angst of your art were revealed when the man opened and quickly closed the door. If I may make a suggestion, you need to add some type of wall art to break up the wide expanse of the wall paper and to successfully bring together all the pieces of this video. A sequel will be needed. An air would be the obvious choice but go with a jig.

I will take those statements as compliments, so thanks :slight_smile:
One month, but 70 hours or so practice plus some more hours of formal instruction.

But yes, I’ve tooted around on the tin whistle for several weeks before I started on the flute also, didn’t mean to mislead anyone on that regard.

edit: the wallpaper is a long story. we will not begin that particular epic tale at this point. On the door is a bathrobe. really. i swear.

OK. My vision isn’t all that good so I watched the video on full screen. The resolution wasn’t as sharp as it needed to be but I did confirm that the robe is a robe and not a dress. Then I noticed that’s not 80’s flower wallpaper, that’s solar system wallpaper. You need a bigger lava lamp.

Don’t feel special, I enjoy seeing and commenting about everything else in folks’ pictures and videos. It’s a gift.

Please keep the receipt.

Figures you’d be a regifter.

Very nice.

I’ve been out of the loop for a few years and am just getting back into it and was never better then an advanced beginner even when I was practicing regularly.

I think you are going to be really good in a few more months, way better then me :slight_smile: in my defense, some folks have talent and those of us that don’t have to build up skill… LOL

Keep up the good work…
