Thanks Matt. This is like having my own teacher right with me. Really liked all the explanation
Be the change you want to see in the world... one B and C doubling at a time. :)
Seriously thank you for the way you explain, demonstrate and then combine technique with music in this video. Mind blowing.
Glad you found it helpful!
hoorah! been waiting for a whole tune
SoOo excited for these videos! Thanks Matt!
Yet another fantastic instructional video Mr. Willis! This is getting fun!
Thank you for this. I just joined a grade 5 band and this is one of the songs in their 6 song set. This will help me when I don't have access to my instructor.
Great idea for highlighting the grace notes Matt.
I like your concept of coloring the gracenotes, I haven't heard of that anywhere else, but it does make a lot of sense.
This is great--so helpful to have the whole process there with one simple tune. Makes playing the tune seem doable. Also I never knew the information you shared about g and e gracenotes and when they're used. And I love the term "twiddle."
Can’t wait to watch🙂🙂🙂
GREAT Video! Thanks Matt! I've been playing this over and over and over.. very helpful as always and a great teaching point of view!
Awesome, thank you!
Great Classic! Thank you Matt.
Really dials in correct timing, thank you.
You're welcome, Mr. Cannon!
Matt, Other than the fact Your explanations are articulate and somewhat easy to follow I reckon Your style of thinking could help sort out the economics issues in Your neck of the World ! Very grateful for what I have seen so far of the high road. A sense of a story being told which is both surprising and predictable at the same time ! Regards Stephen australia
"Somewhat easy to follow." Ha! I like that!
@@MattWillisBagpiper )) ThankYou for response. Not a diplomatic inference Matt but more so reflection of My ability just now). Btw, just to confirm, with the setup of Hardie twist trap , You effectively end up with a full size practice chanter as a result of Pipes purchase ? Do You prefer the twist trap still as time goes on ? I see You have acquired a number of instruments and was wondering, as I guess most would whether it's moisture control attributes are still attractive.? Stephen
Great video
This video was very helpful, thank you so much. Brilliant.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot for this video and the attached mp3s! I think hearing the tune on the bagpipe somehow gave me the impression that something is off with my PC playthrough, but it is actually quite close to yours. I guess it is just a getting used to the different sounds. I wouldn't have figured that out without as fast without hearing you play it on the PC! :)
You're welcome! And yes, the embellishments can sound quite different on the pipes vs. the practice chanter.
One of my favorite moments was the disclaimer, "Not a brain doctor!" 😂
Glad you enjoy my goober humor. 🤪
love the idea of using the highlighters to mark the grace notes & I have been using recordings on myself on my phone to critique myself, as I’m learning in my own, it works great for me!
Also, you can never have enough bagpipe shirts.

I'm still working on grace notes and such but I had to watch this one anyway.
I did have a question though. In your opinion would you saying learning to play a basic melody of a song without grace notes and embellishments is helpful or probably a bad idea?
Great question! If you cannot yet readily play the gracenotes and embellishments, I feel you would be better off practicing the technical movements until they are not a "point of contention". If gracenotes and embellishments are causing problems, the time would better be spent getting those under your fingers than learning the tune without any gracenotes.
@@MattWillisBagpiper thanks you for your thoughts on that. That's pretty much what I felt also. Plus I'd rather learn the tune the way it's actually played anyway, was just curious. I think I'm getting them down pretty good so far, thanks to you. Most of the reason I was asking is because I've been playing guitar since I was fifteen and some songs learning the basic melody make it easier to learn the more technical version but some other tunes the simpler version seem to make it harder to learn the more technical version. That's why I was asking.
What you can do is learn the melody enough to sing it. Better yet, to sing it with all the embellishments and such. I go over this a bit here (not for High Road specifically, but the technique in general): czcams.com/video/WNprfV57vr8/video.html
@@MattWillisBagpiper i love singing to be honest
@@MattWillisBagpiper like they say "play it like you sing it" right
Hey Matt, the PDF linked to this lesson is actually for lesson 28, not 23. Can we get the PDF for "The High Road to Gairloch"? :)

Thanks for the heads up. Link is fixed!
Why not sell t shirts that say “keep it clean”.
Not a bad idea. Hmmmm
You're making it too complicated.
In trying to describe all the potential issues may run into, it definitely adds complexity. When working with someone directly, we only have to deal with the particular issues the learner is having rather than all potential issues...
As a beginner who grew up hearing a lot of pipe music, I have a somewhat "intuitive" approach to ornamentation. I found it very helpful to see this more technical approach. I am sure it will improve my playing. It may be "complicated" in that it requires concentration and attention to detail, but helpful nevertheless.
This is not to complicated. It's called teaching. Try absorbing information instead of discarding it.
