Tin Whistle Lesson - Jig: Mist Covered Mountain

Another good standard session tune, this one is a jig that we're playing on the road starting with our fall shows at the Middle Tennessee Highland Games and then following up with our Christmas tour.

Thanks for making tutorials for these great common tunes and patience for breaking down ornamentation over and over again! That was helpful!

[@manzaa22]

Nice tutorial and thanks for share, hey can you make a tutorial for colonel frasers reel, please? Hahahaha

[@whistletutor]

Ooo, good suggestion - gonna have to dust that one off, it doesn't come up often at my sessions!

[@lisahartman2276]

Do you have any advice on how to keep your fingers from cramps. Being a tin whistle player I have trouble with that. TWEET

[@whistletutor]

Hmm, if your fingers are cramping up while playing that's not good - usually that means you're gripping the whistle too tightly. You really don't need a ton of pressure from the back of the instrument; your fingers there should really be more for balance than anything. It should never hurt to play!

@@whistletutor Thanks for the information. Relax balance lol that simple

[@christophercarter2345]

Is this on a C whistle?

[@whistletutor]

No, that's a regular D whistle.
