    Congratulations! On looking through all the tin whistle channels for tutorials, as I am a beginner, I kept coming back to yours. The way you explain and play, makes it easy to learn. Thanks you.

    Last September my wife bought me a Walton's D whistle in Mystic Connecticut, so naturally I went to CZcams to figure out how to play it. I spent some time scrubbing through videos and eventually I ended up on your Star of Munster lesson. Even though I had no tin whistle experience before this (I played ragtime guitar and cajun fiddle, totally ignorant to traditional Irish music), I could tell you played very authentically, unlike most others on CZcams, and I immediately, really loved that tune, but I couldn't yet play it, so I decided to watch your beginner lessons. Afterwards, I learned this very song, The Lilting Banshee, made sure I could play it all the way through, and then I went more into learning ornaments, also with the help of your videos. I haven't used any other teachers or online tuition, save maybe for reading some old forum posts, except your videos, and even though I can learn most songs I ear, I still use your videos to find great new (to me) tunes to figure out! Now, I'm looking to pick up the pipes or flute once I feel really satisfied with my whistle skills!

    Congrats on the 25k! I think I started watching your videos when I was trying to learn The Humors of Glendart jig. I also love the ones not related to tunes like session etiquette, learning by ear, how to arrange sets, etc. Thanks for all your work!

  • @wildlensandpens7950
    @wildlensandpens7950 Před 9 měsíci

    Fairly new to the channel but dang do I wish I had found it much earlier. Your take on a favorite tune of mine, Hector the Hero, was what really got me watching.

  • @petterfuhre17
    @petterfuhre17 Před 9 měsíci

    The slide show brought back some happy memories, especially the one with the Irish flag on the wall behind you. My introduction to taps, cuts, rolls, slides and crans came through precisely those vids. I believe the first couple of reels I learned were Green Mountain and Silver Spear. So thanks a million! And congrats on 25K!

  • @Ateles0
    @Ateles0 Před 9 měsíci

    I’m glad your channel is growing! You deserve it. One things that I really appreciate about your channel is the effort you put into presentation of content. I’m in my mid 30s and have a fair amount of experience playing other instruments. When I started to learn, I had a hard time finding someone who would teach to the musician. You have a great knack for teaching to both the new learner, and the person who has been playing for years. I’m by no means an expert yet, but I find that I rewatch your videos, and often learn new things about songs I’ve learned from you before. I have found over the past year that playing the Tin Whistle has brought me much more joy than I was expecting. I play daily, often just making things up, but in those moment’s I’m really happy. I think your educational work here has been a real source of that joy. Giveaway or no giveaway, I hope you read this. You are a fantastic teacher and musician. Thanks for the effort you put into doing this well.

  • @MeganHaskell
    @MeganHaskell Před 9 měsíci

    Thank you for this! I bought a cheap tin whistle years ago on a visit to Ireland and never thought much of it. But recently, I randomly picked it up again and decided I wanted to learn to play properly. Of the videos I found on CZcams, yours have been the most informative and the best produced. Thank you for your efforts!

    A year ago I watched Outlander and felt in love with Scotish and Irish folk music. I bought basic Feadóg tin whistle, downloaded "Stóras na Fideig" learning book and played till I learned the basics. Tin whistles are not so common in Poland, so I gained much attention while playing with friends. I started searching for more and found your channel. Don't remember specific video, but I subscribed immediately. Thank you for great content!

Congratulations on the milestone and may the next one come swiftly behind.

    @GoatedNat Před 9 měsíci +1

    A couple of months ago I bought a Generation whistle so that I could get back into the tin whistle after a 15 year break! (I learned in school as a child. A very common experience here in Ireland). I sought out a tutorial for Sí Bheag Sí Mhór and happened upon yours. A deep dive into your channel revealed you’ve got so much high quality content so I stuck around. I’ve also been recommending your channel to learners who buy tin whistles from the music store I work in.
    Love the Sligo jersey! Glad you had a good time on your most recent trip here.

      @rattttooooo Před 9 měsíci

      Same experience here, only it's been 8ish years for me since primary school. I've really grown a new appreciation for it since. When you're taught it with a bunch of other squealing children, it's hard to see the beauty of the instrument in those moments Hahaha.

I didn't think I would like the short form reels, but you pack alot into a little time!! Your personality, teaching style, musical knowledge and high quality video production skills are what set you apart, keep up the great work!!

Like 24,999 others, I scoured the net for learning aids. When I found your site I knew I had found something special. I like the honesty of your whistle reviews and commentary. And your lessons are like having a private tutor. The tunes you pick are, I have learned, standards. So I know I am getting a good foundation. I would like to see more videos about flute technique and tunes. So keep'm coming!

    Congrats on 25k! That's no easy feat! What got me interested in your channel were the Irish flute videos (such as how to take care of them). I've been interested in Irish flutes since I was a little girl getting started with the concert silver flute. It was only after college that I found your videos. I stayed because of the tutorials you do and because of the beautiful music. I ended up learning The Rolling Waves on my silver flute because of the video you made a while back. Thank you for your passion and hard work!

    Well Sean, despite your preference for Sligo wear, (I'm from Mayo), I just really enjoy the simple way you have in explaining tunes, working through whistle differences and your honesty when it comes to teaching, learning and playing. As a new starter @48yrs of age (2nd lesson only last week) I'm quickly getting sucked down the rabbit hole that is Irish music and while there is a believed simplicity to the whistle, I'm learning it is so much more. And thankfully, from your videos, I'm learning it's accessible...Other videos are convoluted or tiresome to listen to so that's why I'm here to hear...😄

  • @mcourtneyk

    I'm still around because I enjoy listening to you play, and I really like how you explain it. I can usually listen to what you do and say, and then play it on my silver flute (I haven't been brave enough to try a whistle....yet).

    Congratulations on 25k! When I started playing tin whistle, I was searching for best options, decent quality whistles for someone who just started. So snce then, whistle comparisons.

    I've been watching you for about 3 months, I have a (mainly irish) folk band with my 3 siblings, and love finding inspirations, tipps, tricks and new tunes in your videos :)
    Also, I love playing along since they are perfectly made for that and makes it really easy learning new stuff!
    Thanks :)

    Congrats on the 25 000 followers!
    I started following your content around the same time you were making a transition toward a more studio-like setup. Just discovered that it's been 12 years now.. wow! I thought it'd be more like seven or eight.
    There weren't too many in-depth breakdowns / tune tutorials then, and your lessons would be hugely helpful to me when I was starting out.
    The channel has come a long way since then, with the quality of the content progressively getting higher and higher, and although now I mostly learn by ear, I still appreciate you sharing your thoughts / process around other trad-adjacent topics like gear, practice routines, accompanying songs, whistle comparisons etc.
    Thank you for all the good work and excited to see what comes next!

    Hi, studied in Durham, UK a couple of years ago and bought then a freadog starter Set, which i loved, but i didn't get better until i found your tutorials. So thanks for your great advices! Now i play a Tony Dixon, which i love. Your Video is awesone by the way. This is one of the few tunes i am able to play on the accordeon!!! Greetings and congrats from the southwest of Germany!🎉

    Congrats! 25k is way, WAY more than most youtube creators ever hit, and you've earned every one! My first video of yours that I watched, was your Cooley's Reel ornaments guide. Here's to 25k more in the coming years!

    I’m a total beginner, just started doing lessons and came across your channel while trying to figure out what whistle I might upgrade to from my generation. I need all the help I can get sound wise!

    I’ll jump on board. Enjoying tin whistles and am learning to play. This video made me realize I wasn’t subscribed, so I just did so you can let someone else win the whistle if I’m picked. Keep on bringing the beautiful content

    It was the whistle comparison vids that made me subscribe. When I was getting back into the music after several years away I wanted to pick up a higher-end whistle. I ended up with a Killarney.
