Struggle

I enjoyed this. Quite an achievement

Oh boy i really love scotland

Nice groove, Dan!

Wow Dan! This was an ear full of awesomeness. Nice tuning, a steady breathing cadence, as well as a nice feel to the tune itself. Keep up the great progress. Maybe a little more contrast in the dot-cut, you've definitely got the notes now. The place that you started into the most trouble was the steps of the taorluath, and this made the Taor. variation give you a few squeaks, as the motion of the embellishment steps moved into your forearms. A lot of slow reps that focus on D and E to Low A clarity can help, and, of course, sacrificing a little tempo in those variations may be required to get it there. You are doing quite well in all other aspects so, focusing on those steps will eventually bring you forward with this one.

Good playing Dan! I'm working on this tune myself. I find the melody to be one of the easier to remember, but the number of variations with their attendant doublings are definitely a challenge for maintaining tuning throughout. Good stuff.

Amazing!! It was nice to listen to 🙂

Sounds great!!

Nice playing Sir. Whilst it seems that you are having problems playing doublings on your bottom hand I have the same but with my top hand. Very frustrating.

fire! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Good berls and d throws😊

Amazing Daniel!! 🎶🎵🎶

Greatest marching tune, a real ground coverer

Sounds like 50 years of playing the bag pipes!

Excellent!

For home made - this is good tune.

I never heard the Muir of Ord before, I'll remember this. Thx

Decent effort here Dan. The bottom hand technique making things difficult for you. The D gracenotes were definitely taking you away from your flow. Also, watch bar 7 in the 2nd part.... there was a bit of acceleration here. The drones were well set but left flat to the chanter making it sound pretty sharp, especially on D, E and high G. It may help to be a little more aggressive on the tuning here. All the best for the next one! Cameron Phase 1 Result: 3/4 Requirements Achieved Metronome Clearly Audible? Yes "Best" Tempo Selection?

It's very nice!

Keep practicing like that and bring up the tempo slowly. Excellent stuff. Your drones sound fantastic.

Hey Dan! Thanks for your submission. Some early rhythm issues overall here. Work to keep the note values consistent through the tune. You could say the tune has a herky jerky feel as it pushes and pulls rhythmically at different spots. Work your mini phrasing so they are always the same. Good drone tuning and gracenote quality as usual. Keep up the good work! Phase 5 Result: 16/22 Requirements Achieved Metronome Clearly Audible? Yes "Best" Tempo Selection?

No(x) Embellishment/Expression general comments from Andy: Tourluaths not always executed consistently. Note values are changing throughout the tune so the asaps are not always the same and the alaps are not always the same. Work to be more consistent with note values to improve flow of the tune.

Very well done, sir!

Hi Dan Nice to hear you playing here in this window, it's been a while. Overall this performance has many of the qualities we are looking for at the Dojo in reel playing. You manage to keep a nice overall tempo sticking with the click although I do mention below that at times you run the rick of over pointing the 1/4 notes so keep listening out for this. Lots of the finger technique coming across clearly including the D throws, although watch this movement when going from line 1 to line 2 in the 1st part as there was a slight out-of-sync thing happening there. The tachum movements which I know you've been working hard on I felt were improving. If I note correctly you were playing them with E grace notes at times before and these all seem to be played back with the D. Awesome work on that and although they were causing some MBA's you're starting to hear the short/long rhythm that they require. The pipes sound nice, drones well tuned together and also with the chanter. It's a hard time of the year for pipes, mine seem drier and thinner just now with the cold weather but so you're doing well there.

Hi Dan, Really nice work here and congrats on passing your phase 5. Andrew and I just wanted to note an irregular blowing cadence as a point for continued improvement. While this recording is fairly steady, there's a higher risk for MBAs when the blowing cadence isn't regular and consistent (and unattached to what we are playing). Let's make this your focus of over the coming months as you explore your bagpipe 'freedom'. Keep up the regular submissions and great job with this tune.

Awesome job Dr. Cameron

Well done Sir !!

Hi Dan, thanks for submitting, not heard you play for a while. Pipes sounding nice! This was going well... You made a good job of the last phrase in the 3rd part despite the technical difficulty but you were early off the Low G, jumping up to the short B to D. A pretty small drift past the metronome. Then the 4th part wasnt quite right, you were catching the Ds and Cs on the click and High As and High Gs on the off beat. You adjusted well and finished strong and back on the beat but it took a while to get there. All the best for the next one! Hoping for a nice easy jig!

Hope the tempo has increased buddy 😊

THANKS DAN, GOD BLESS.👍🏻

Nice..the Lament for the East India Company..is the thought of most scholars
