Lovin’ these whistle videos. I work in construction and have been perpetually teased by my coworkers because of my lack of ability to cat call. Now I can whistle at all the mamis in a half mile radius.
@@deanqevani1841 like a year and a half. But the people I was learning from didn't really speak English and didn't give good directions. I've seen people learn it in a week.
Bro props to you as you taught me how to whistle with your first and second videos. I’m still watching because even if people know how to do it , it might not be that perfect, consistent, like myself and I recommend to keep watching to learn new tips and tricks, which is definitely helping me! Once you learn it’s such a great feeling! Cheers brother 🎉
lmao i remember starting learning this 5 years ago when u posted ur first vid and passing out each time because i tried so hard. well it did pay off in the end though and managed to master it in a month
Watched your original videos about a month ago and am now consistently making a decent whistle sound (like you made at the end of the video), just now need to work on the volume. Any tips for making it louder? Is it just making the space the air can come out smaller with more pressure?
Something I always wanted to do is whistle mainly when other people clap . I been trying the one handed whistle but can’t do that every time . Still practicing and now with your pointers too .
Hey there. Thank you so much for the video! Been practicing for a year... Some whistle sound does come out when I try (without using my bottom lip at all), but it's higher pitched than the sound you make at 2:18. Am I in the right direction?
You're welcome. When I was learning, I was able to do a soft high pitch whistle at first and I kept practicing that. Turns out it wasn't the right whistle. I tried something different. I tried blocking all air from escaping to strengthen my tongue, a little air did escape and it made the whistle for the first time. Any practicing is good, you're developing the muscles, but it's probably not the right technique.
been trying to figure this out for 4 years.. watched all your previous whistle videos several years ago too. hopefully this is the one that helps me figure it out. my father-in-law can do it perfectly but doesn't know how to explain it
Took me a long time to learn also. I have some other good practice ideas. I'll make more videos soon. The next one is going to be using a toothpick to push your tongue in the right position. Don't give up.
You dont need a lot of air. Start off with soft air. You need to adjust the tongue mainly. Once you get it, it will be loud and you will know you got it. THEN add more air to make it even louder.
I've been practicing this back and forth for a few years, but now I really need to it to teach my birds to come back in an emergency case. I can see some improvement but nowhere near as a clear whistle. I think I get the tongue placement and the lower lip on the teeth but I don't know how deep I should protude my jaw (where my 2 upper front teeth should be exactly) Thanks for the vids
Everyone should have emergency birds, that's dope. The front teeth should be ever so slightly behind the bottom teeth. Focus more on the tongue. There is a large margin for error with the teeth and lip and the whistle will still work, but the tongue is key and the hardest part.
The terms "apical", "laminal", "sub-apical" and "sulcal" are very useful when learning all the different T and TH and S and C and R sounds in languages, i'd find it helpful if musicians and beatboxers learned them 😅 Is the tip of my tongue apical? Laminal? At the alveolar ridge? Or dental? Not quite dental or alveolar? Is the back of my tongue supposed to be tense or lax? I can whistle using only my tongue and larynx, not even my lips are involved - but it sounds like a tea kettle and I only get pitch and volume, no clean notes or distinguishable vowel formants. Alternatively I can make my TH and S sounds whistle, in my toothless old man voice, which has led to accidental perfect whistles. Still cant quite get it down. Maybe I need to get a tin of chewing tobacco and a job peanut farming with some Mexicans, one day it'll just happen and I'll forget i ever couldn't do it before...
Took me a couple years. Just practice often, a little each day. The moment you first get it, it will all be worth it. You'll never have to clap again in your life, just whistle.
When my brother was younger, he could do it so loud you could hear ringing in your ears. Now he does this so loud it can burst your ear drum if he does it in a closed space. It just takes time to figure out how loud you can go.

How long did it take you to learn

@@matt6014my friend learned it in two hours
@@matt6014so now I’m here because I’m jealous
No way the legend is back with pt. 2!! Literally haven't watched your other vid in years and came to check and you just posted that's crazy haha

Thanks man! Good job.
I have been practicing for 2 days and it work
Good teacher 👊👊👊
Thanks! 👊👊👊
Thank you for the help, man.
I'm 24 years old and never knew how to whistle.
And now I will be practicizing :D
No problem. Practice a little every day. Be persistent, it takes time. But you'll get it.
It works! Very good explanation! great tips Thank you
Good job!
thank you, Mat
your tips does help on my practice
Glad to hear it!
lmao i remember starting learning this 5 years ago when u posted ur first vid and passing out each time because i tried so hard. well it did pay off in the end though and managed to master it in a month
Nice! Good job! Took me way longer to learn.
Got it, Perseverance is the key, thank u
Jesus this works so good they started calling me juan I am now mexican
I heard you get +3 endurance when you become mexican.
That th sound really did help.

Yes essentially. However, I conceptualize it like this: keep your tongue in the same position, now "flex" your to tongue/ make your tongue harder.
Something I always wanted to do is whistle mainly when other people clap . I been trying the one handed whistle but can’t do that every time . Still practicing and now with your pointers too .

Don't give up.
I can get a whistle but not very loud. Do I need to be adjusting the air speed or tongue/lip shape to increase volume?
Yes, the more you do it the louder it gets
You dont need a lot of air. Start off with soft air. You need to adjust the tongue mainly. Once you get it, it will be loud and you will know you got it. THEN add more air to make it even louder.
thanks learned it in 30 min

@@matt6014 thanks, since then I finally got it after practicing a lot!
One of my front teeth is misaligned and more forward than than other. I don't think I can pull this off.
I look like a freaking idiot

Lol. Marriage.

whistle with fingers i 100 percent louder then this
When my brother was younger, he could do it so loud you could hear ringing in your ears. Now he does this so loud it can burst your ear drum if he does it in a closed space. It just takes time to figure out how loud you can go.
