I have to say, I've never thought through a crunluath the way that you articulate in method 2. I also have to say, I wish I had. Really innovative stuff here, Jori, and it's going to change how I practice and refine my crunluaths!
Hi Jack! Great to hear! I've found that approaching a challenge in multiple different ways can lead to massive breakthroughs. Often you need to slow things down and break it down. Then speed it up and add the timing (method #1). Likewise, it can help to simplify it by removing some of the notes or gracenotes and master the timing first (method #2). In addition, it can help to focus on the single most challenging point and build from there (method #3).
Jack, I've heard you play and you already have a great crunluath! And like you, I'm open to trying different approaches. Even after playing for many years, I'm always looking for new ways to play cleaner and more consistently and with greater ease. Cheers!
great video...
Thanks for the CAM explanation!!!!
You are welcome, Bill! Glad you liked it.
thankyou very much. this is very helpfull.
You are welcome! Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always looking for ideas for my next video. Happy Piping!
good evening brother first of all i want to tell u that i am note good at inglish mabi i make lote of misstak in spelling or sentence sorry for.
my question is what kind of chanter and reed is good for beginner. i start practice just two week ago.
@@maliknafees2000 Welcome! No problem at all, I understand you perfectly.
I have some excellent practice chanters right here in my shop: bagpipelessons.com/products/bagpipe-products/practice-chanters/
Let me know if you have any more questions!
Do you happen to have a list of each embellishment that we could come across, I keep discovering ones I've never seen (like this one)
Yes! I’m working on this very idea. Thank you.
The Devil's Own Embellishment...I can't stop looking at your watch
Thanks so much... I've been learning piobaireachd on my own and could never find a full explanation of how to do all these movements on D. So I just avoided any songs with D in them. I didn't want to practice how to do it the wrong way.
Thank you! I’m happy to hear this is helpful for you. what would you like me to make a video about next?
Very good....i reckon if you feltip pen the notes on your fingers above the holes it would be even more transparent...
Thanks for the suggestion!
Can you please send me the page music of the crunluath music
Would appreciate it very much
Certainly! You can find the sheet music and additional resources for mastering crunluaths here: bagpipelessons.com/master-crunluaths/. Happy piping! 🎶
Hi!
And what’s the story behind Piobaireachd High G?
Why don’t we play standard High G in Piobaireachds?
Hi! Great question. I don't think anyone knows the answer. The Piobaireachd High G is one of those traditions that goes way back and the origins are lost in the mists of time. Thanks and please let me know if you have more questions!
Thanks!
Just one more: in half of the time when I quickly play crunluath (or taorluath) my right index finger doesn’t want to lift up for D gracenote, like it is glued to the chanter.
Any ideas what might be the case and how it can be remediated?
@@sweetscience7817 This is more likely to happen if your hands grasp the chanter tightly. Try a looser grip and see if that helps.
Is it fair to say that crunluath a mach = taorluath a mach - ending E + open eidre?
Based on what you've described, it seems like you are saying the crunluath a mach could be understood as taorluath a mach with the ending E gracenote omitted and replaced by an open edre. If that is what you are saying, then yes you are correct! Thanks for the comment!
@@bagpipelessons , yes, that's exactly what I was saying, thanks. It demystifies the two movements, adding a unity to them. Thanks for your video.
Wait.. this must be very rare.. I’ve not encountered it before.
The crunluath is common in piobaireachd tunes. The a-mach is lesson common but used in many of the great tunes!
