That’s a great way of thinking about it! At the end of the day, we all spend more time teaching ourselves than getting outside instruction. If these videos help folks see “how the sausage is made” and gives them insight on how to dissect their own problems, that’d be amazing!
I love a really good Dublin I think what really makes a good Dublin is to really space out and to not crash the grace notes together but at the same time keeping those grace notes small and crisp. I think you have done a really grate job on. Emphasising this and explaining this in Great detail which all pipers will love. Thanks from Scotland
Button vs Baton...simply genius! Thanks for the wonderful explanation! As a new chanter player, I am loving your content! Great supplement to my DojoU coursework!
Hey Matt thanks for all the great info. I don’t struggle as much with the mechanics of the doubling as I do with the timing. 4:44 is probably the most essential piece of information here. I have been working on high road to gair loch and listening to your reference mp3s. My question is why do so many pipers especially on RUclips not play their doublings properly? If you look at some videos of high road on the chanter many of them seem to hit the G gracenote before the beat. Some of these players are teachers as well.
Matt !! Grateful . Just off a long discussion with Mate interstate about this very subject. He will he well pleased to hear Your exercises as I was. ThankYou. Very kind .warm regards Stephen australia
An Excellent lesson Matt. Thank you. Building up to the doubling using a constructive methodology is concise and practical. Saved much time as it was very easy to follow and workup to the end state. Don't stop.
Had a bit of a problem this morning I picked up the pipes and I thought they were a bit sharp so I got my tuner it it showed that there were at 490 witch is grade 1 pitch so I had to try to get my reed to. Behave itself 🙂
After 25 years of playing I realize how sloppy all my embellishments have become,so here I am at 70 trying to clean up my act,I guess its only too late when you are dead HaHa!
I believe that the value of your "clinic" is that we learn the mechanics of deconstruction and thus can develop our own "solutions". THANKS

Can't answer why other pipers play their doublings early, but at least you don't have to now! Glad you've enjoyed the video.
Love your technique videos Matt! Yours are some of the best out there, the bagpipes community is fortunate to have you sir
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. And I'm glad you're finding my technique videos helpful!

Thank you! And no plans on stopping!
This is great! The E down to D is my worst! thank you for the video and PDF
Glad you found it useful! Please share with any pipers you think could find it useful!

Hello, i have a question what is the name of the device that is next the sheets music?
That's my TAMA Rhythm Watch metronome.
Hi Matt how’s things
Things are great!
Had a bit of a problem this morning I picked up the pipes and I thought they were a bit sharp so I got my tuner it it showed that there were at 490 witch is grade 1 pitch so I had to try to get my reed to. Behave itself 🙂
I can not Write
Yeah, 490 is definitely up there... On a Texas summer afternoon, I've gone as high as 493hz. Talk about a thin high A!
It only about 15 degrees c in Scotland so not that hot for the pipes but mide you this is reall hot compared to what we usually get RAIN!
Not sure how to download worksheet.
Are trying to do this from a phone? It's easiest to do from a computer. Here's the link again: tinyurl.com/y2omba3h

There's still plenty of time! Pipers tend to have quite lengthy lives.
