Down By the Sally Gardens (Redux) FAVORITE beginner tin whistle tune

- I did a video on this tune 11 years ago (!!) and recently I've had a few folks ask if I'd remake some of those old ones in my new, hopefully improved style. And while I doubt I'll get around to redoing all of them, this one I figured would be worth a shot because it's the tune I always start beginning tin whistle students off on. It's a great classic melody with room to learn ornaments, so I hope y'all enjoy it.

Excellent content as always...many thanks 🙏🏻 Not referring to this tune in particular, but do you differentiate between Irish and Scottish music or d you just think of it as Celtic?
Great question! And yes, very much so. IMO there's no such thing as "Celtic" music. There's Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Manx, Galician, Breton, Cornish, Asturian - probably forgot a few. Each with their own tunes and styles. Unfortunately I know only a handful of Scottish tunes, even fewer Breton tunes, and probably none of the rest.
whistletutor Excellent response, thank you very much. I didn’t appreciate the difference until my daughter got accepted into the National Centre for Excellence in Traditional Music playing fiddle here in Scotland 🏴 Trad music is so wonderfully diverse ✊🏻
It was great it was a lot for me unpack.✌
first tune I ever learned !
thanks to your tutorial :)
Thanks! I play a modified Clarke wooden fipple and you opened up a lot of great variations and ornaments for me. Cheers!
Really wonderful thanks
you do an amazing job
That wink!
I think this might have originally been an englis folk tune. It's thought of as Irish perhaps because it fits the Yeats poem of the same name.
Please explain to me "there are no C naturals in this tune because its in D" I'm always confused by these terms, maybe because I missed something along the way! Cheers

In the key of "D", there are two notes which are "sharp", and those notes are C# and F#. So, the scale is: D, E, F#, G, A,B, C#, D.
So you see that in the key of "D", "C natural" doesn't exist.
Receiving my 14th whistle tomorrow - for "Whistle Acquisition Syndrome", there's no cure!!
@@usernamemykel thanks for the explanation... I'm still holding tight to my first two whistles, I'm not a natural player and I don't seem to get better, but I sure love trying!!

Aha!! You said it yourself “...holding tight...”. Loosen up and enjoy the journey!

If you can sing “Happy Birthday”, then you’re natural enough. Your brain sends electrical impulses to your mouth muscles and tongue, creating the correct rhythem and pitch. It took awhile for that to happen. Now you’re just substituting an instrument other than your mouth - you’ll work it out.
