Part 2 is now posted! ruclips.net/video/Qh-Tn2AbCMw/видео.html
I am going to have to watch this many times , i’ve been playing the whistle for a little while but a lot of the stuff is very confusing to me. This will help me gain some understanding. Thank you so much.
This is absolutely brilliant! How do you make your whistle sound so sweet? Please make more whistle videos ❤🙏
That's great music theory, very informative for us goons who learned by ear!
Lydian is one of the most prominent scales in Hindustani Ragas. It is known as Raag Yaman. Absolutely love it. Lydian flat 3 is hauntingly beautiful. It is known as Raag Madhuvanti.
Totally agree! There are so many wonderful exotic scales to be explored. I've studied Arabic maqam as well and they have many lovely modes. A few instrument makers offer whistles tuned to eastern scales.
this is incredibly helpful Thanks very much. Also I just odered 2 kerry whistles last week! A bB and a G
Thanks, you are an excellent teacher..👍👍👍
Wow, just found you and I'm in my second year of playing the (mostly low) whistle. I'm a piano player originally so it's nice to carry the thing around for a change. Great video!
Piano is my main instrument too and perhaps the best part of whistle is its size. Fits right in the pocket instead of 3 trips to the car for keyboard gear.
To transpose from one key to another, I use numbers for the notes. This really simplifies transposing for me. Nice video. Michael
Im just relearning the tin whistle (I haven’t played in 40 years) and this is excellent theory.
Thank you Sir!
I haven’t played in 25 years. Suddenly I start getting whistle videos in my recommendations and here I am 12 videos later.
@@blacksmith67 Big brother is watching you! 😂
At least you will have an audience when you inevitably start playing again😁
I teach whistle (and flute). This is an excellent video for summarizing and explaining most of the basic techniques. Pretty easy to follow.
Awesome David. Brilliant. Thanks. That's an excellent explanation. I've had a bit of theory years ago on keyboards, even though I don't play keyboards. I enjoyed the math and it help a lot on guitar and circles (5ths etc.) But, your explanation really clarified some things on the whistle and the chart is a splendid way to look at the different modes and tunes.
Lots of great information. Just discovering the mixolydian mode was great for me. It automatically changes the feeling of my improvisations
Great stuff man 😁🏵️😁 Fellow whistle player of a few decades . I approach things a tad differently, but that's the great thing about music and art, right? And I swear, some modes are more like a dare 😁 (don't get me started about ragas on a whistle.) Great video, loved it
Thank you for this.
Extremely Helpful. Thank You for sharing your knowledge.
An excellent video. Very well explained.
Awesome information 🎉❤
とても勉強になりました。この動画とDavid Lovrienさんに感謝！
One of the best YT videos on the subject. Many thanks
Thank you.
Many thanks for this - really interesting, useful and fun video. 🙂 Very clear.
So well explained and easily understood. I’ll be back 🙂
Would love to see a follow up to this!
Need to watch
When's part 2 coming out, this is great "chtuff"
uuuhh will take a while for me to understand this... almost easier to make whistles...
What a great theory lesson! Thanks so much for offering so many reasonable suggestions for playing tunes. Can I ask what A whistle you're playing at 15:11?? Thanks.
It's a Chieftain whistle (from Kerry Whistles) - about 20 years old.
As a fiddler I’m wondering (maybe stupidly) whether a lower whistle has more notes (range). I think not. TYVM !
All whistles have the same range (2 octaves), although you can overblow into the 3rd octave on many whistles (using the same fingerings as a fife).
👍
What Brand of D whistle are you using? I have one but it does not play in tune as well as yours.
In this video I'm playing a Cillian O'Briain "improved" whistle (www.obriainimproved.com/). He takes factory-made whistles and "tweaks" them to a much higher standard. Jerry Freeman is also famous for his tweaked whistles.
