Thanks, going to share this with my band to keep their basics up!

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Funny revisiting these basics as I’m learning Paddy’s Leather Breeches..... All good practice. Must revisit the basic building blocks more!

Matt
Well done and well timed. Interestingly enough I was fighting with this exercise as I was learning The Glasgow City Police pipes jig. Helped immensely going through these basics again.
Best👊👍🇨🇦

Thank you this was very helpful. I am 12 and have been playing the bagpipes since I was 5 and I could never master the G D E grase notes and I managed to get it because of this.

That’s great to hear!

[@colinbenfield326]

[@MattWillisBagpiper]

I only found it recently. It's pretty cool!

[@kirkrayner4362]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. With you and my instructor here I am actually making music sounds and less dying cat sounds. 😁

Ha ha I put the speed down to 0.5 and you sound as if you polished off a bottle of whisky before the start of the video 😂😂

[@MattWillisBagpiper]

Ha!

[@andreasstraer2217]

Hey Matt,
could you please tell me which practice chanter you use in this video?

[@MattWillisBagpiper]

A 2001 MacLellan long Cocobolo practice chanter. He recently started making these again, though the modern look and proportions are different. Still great instruments!

[@andreasstraer2217]

@@MattWillisBagpiper Thank you very much!

[@sherwinclub1332]

Good morning Can you please tell me what I have to buy first to learn to play the bagpipes

[@MattWillisBagpiper]

A good practice chanter. The R. G Hardie Twist Trap chanter is a good choice

[@sherwinclub1332]

I'm on it ouch aye the nooop

[@sherwinclub1332]

I'll never be able to do this. Even my ancestors are shaking their head
