Really cool video! I loved seeing month 8 where you are struggling blowing and hearing your lips give out 😂 I remember that feeling as a beginner and then I took a multi-year break from playing and when I picked them back up I was right back there blowing out my lips 😂I also am impressed with the move to change where you live to support your piping journey! I'm quite jealous of your sound proof garage. I tried practicing in my garage and my wife came banging on the garage door telling me the whole neighborhood could hear 😂
I like to check in on you whenever the TH-cam algorithm suggests one of your videos. I like your disciplined approach to learning the craft. You should be happy with your progress. But never be satisfied. Keep up the great work, and always be seeking the best instruction available. And keep posting on TH-cam so we can all see you reach high level playing, as I'm sure you will in time. 🎉
Great job! I started not quite two years ago, and wish I had recorded my progress as you did. It is great to look back and see how far you've come. All the best as you continue your journey, and maybe I'll see you around the Dojo. 🙂
You have made great strides in three years! Keep working at it. Clearly your practice time is paying dividends. Pay attention to eliminating false fingering / crossing noises with continued work on technique, that will take you the next level.
Thank you so much for this! I recognize myself in the body movements, sounds, techniques, and steadiness/fingering as a beginner. It's nice to know many of us seem to start out the in a similar fashion. I'm about 10 months into regular practice on the bagpipes and get frustrated sometimes. I am trying to be more patient. I have done videos on myself a few times and I am seeing/hearing progress. Even my wife has noticed it. I don't know if I'll be with the band for next year's performances, but I am hoping. I started learning on the chanter at 61 over a year and three months ago. I have a great teacher as well as our pipe major who helps with technique and sharpening those doublings, grips and turloughs. Thanks for the inspiration!
