Blow and Squeeze; these are easy words :) However, when doing the 'cycle' of both its like learning to ride a bicycle (without stabilizers....). Well done.
@@ChipBrewster yes. Jan 27th. At 14 Tom brought me into the Highland world. Great teacher. Gave me my 1st kilt. 1st practice chanter. And much more. Tom was the man!!
Not as bad as my first time, started practicing before I knew to attach the cords to the drones, the tallest drone came down like a karate chop and cleaved a vase in half somehow haha. Keep going matey :)
@@ChipBrewster Ah, cool. Well, if you still have an interest for bagpipes, I think you should pursue it, even if it's just as a hobby rather than doing it professionally or whatever. I'm a hobbyist musician myself and frankly I've no intention on going professional with it... I do it because, and only because, I enjoy it, and it makes me happy in life. If I play in a live concert, and I enjoy the music I'm playing and I'm having so much fun with it, and the people enjoy what they hear, to me that's far greater than a paycheck... that's the best reward I could ask for. I would happily do concerts free of charge for that reason! And now I'm going off on a bit of a tangent :)))
Not on a bagpipe. I’m a saxophone player so I understand breath control and standard fingerings but I promise I had never attempted a bagpipe prior to this
Not bad for a first time at tackling the screaming octopus. Kinda sounds like my cat begging for food.
lol

Haha - thanks!
I'm curious, have you done any more playing with bagpipes since this video? This video is like 5 or 6 years old now.
Not in a serious capacity. I’ve done a few other similar TV segments though.
