I live in Tucson AZ. One day I was sitting in my truck listening to Stuart Liddell on bagpipes when to my amazement roadrunners (a bird native to the American Southwest) began landing on the roof and hood of the truck. Apparently Stuart is a hit with these eccentric birds. 🤣🤣
I'm not sure how Stuart Liddell manages to move his fingers so quickly and also make it sound like there are a couple of pipers playing at the same time. Guess that's why he's won so many world championships. :)
We met him at the Pipes & Sticks on 66 concert in Flagstaff, possibly where you saw him. He is also an amazing snare drummer! I am a drummer who has recently got into piping, but I will never reach a fraction of his level, even if I have multiple lifetimes.
See, pipes are more or less modular. Top to bottom, you have two tenor drones and one bass drone pitched one octave below the tenors, which are one octave below the chanter; in the middle your bag of wind with the stocks tied into it carefully placed for comfort; then you have the chanter he's fingering, where the melody comes out. And we don't forget the blow-stick to supply the air. And the cloth bag cover to keep the bag dressing off your jacket if your leather bag is inclined to do that. Or go high tech and use a bag of Gore-Tex.
@@ryank1273 That being the case, 😄. Staying persnickety about your D-throw, doublings, taorluaths, and birls will really pay off. Instructors and tutors are worth the money if you hire them, as you learn accurately faster. Let's see, have I missed anything?
Bandali Tannous, "The Mason's Apron" comprises most of the video, and appears on the remix album Celtic Grooves, by various artists and produced by Ian Campbell. Rob Crabtree performed the piping on that album, which is one of my favs!
We're going to dance all night long bro if they don't like us drinking if they don't like us fighting don't fight but if they don't like us drinking we're going to be drinking tonight
I highly doubt that, and even if she can, she definiatley can not do it with such precision and perfection, and if she does then why is she not a world champion, like Stuart
بل خلدو أعظم من امة. ظ . على امسالك و على الطفل والمرأة والبيت بالبيت و الأرض بالارض و المال بالمال والتعامل والحياة بالحياة و على اموالكم للابد فناء عهدا
I'm a piper as well don't watch my videos please don't but i do have to say that that is quite fast but most pipers can do all songs at a speed only a slight bit slower then that
You can have the fastest fingers in the world and produce no music! That rendition of the Masons apron and others is a gimmick he likes to pull of for the Americans, you never hear him play like that back home playing for the Duke and Scottish Lords at Inveraray Castle. . Don’t be so fast to jump out your seats next time ! Awesome it ain’t!!
Good thing there were no Dukes or Scottish Lords (I assume you meant Lairds) in the audience then... He was playing to his audience who weren't royalty, weren't in a castle or in America. And the audience (which included lots of kids) thought it was pretty awesome.
Remember in the old days when there was 'high speed dubbing....' Ring any bells?? Yes the man can play quickly however the irony is that the later part of this performance in my opinion is not music at all, simply noise. It's 'Look how fast I can play!' Thankfully it's each to their own.
He is really only slightly better than average. if you want to have a piping experience that is wild and thrilling, Google Gordon Duncan, Battlefield Band or Ross Ainslie
The sheet music for some of them tunes would look like barcodes
And you need faster than lightning reflexes to play them as well!
Nah, it's all just tripplings and birls... Fancy schmaltzy
Not really I have them

Absolutely, it would be amazing to see them both playing together.
He is truly amazing.
As a piper the yells were awesome but he was just warming them up. Hence jigs and reels. Loved it mate. Xx
Thank you STUART .A THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS MASTER CLASS
I'm not sure how Stuart Liddell manages to move his fingers so quickly and also make it sound like there are a couple of pipers playing at the same time. Guess that's why he's won so many world championships. :)
Listen To him play the Pumpkins Fancy! Its awesome!!!
if your looking for faster try lincoln hilton or gordon duncan as this isn't very fast.
Lol
I think it's related to beat boxing.
Incredible work!
who cares about speed, the beauty is in the space and subtlety
I play guitar but the pipes specially this kind have a very interesting tone color. I love the sound they produce.
I hope Lucas tries some pipe tunes through his guitar, particularly if it's electric.
I do pipe tunes on my saxaphone and gob-organ. But nowhere near as fast as that
I hear the pipes and I tear up.
Phone is at one percent and you got urself ready
Stuart liddle:fastest hand in the west
my man's shredding on bagpipes
Lord Thunderin' Jayzuz that man can play....and probably type a 40-page essay in two minutes.
Where ya from bud, east coast?
A very technical and superb piper, easily the best in the world
Simply Outstanding!
I’m piper and i have met him and him play at a concert
We met him at the Pipes & Sticks on 66 concert in Flagstaff, possibly where you saw him. He is also an amazing snare drummer! I am a drummer who has recently got into piping, but I will never reach a fraction of his level, even if I have multiple lifetimes.
Dont forget Gordon Walker though,he is very quick too.
John Morrison and mat macissiac are faster than this guy
Gordon walker is my personal favorite .
What does he play just after saints go marching in?
Bailey Dickson isn’t that a part of Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa?
The guys got skills!
Well done I love it
who cares about speed it is the emotion and feel of the music that matters !!!
.
Hornpipes and jigs give more feel with a fast tempo, more than slow boring tunes
Absolutely It is supposedly inspired music not a gymnastics contest.
Well, imho, Stuart has both.
Tried to get across that river but couldnt find a CROSSING excellent.
...piper pun there...
gained new ideas. Thank you
What is this second tune called?
a great performer
Sound quality ruins it
Very well done 👍
Wow.... Fantastic... Champion
Who made the pipes--or, more specifically, the CHANTER?
No one has a clue... but it was probably a drunk person who thought that a cat being squeezed sounded good!
@@ryank1273 ...and that's what you call a not-serious answer. My man wanted a chanter like it and I hope he found it.
See, pipes are more or less modular.

@@w.reidripley1968 two years passed, but I'm more or less aware of that, I may or may not say that I might just be self teaching myself to play

Let's see, have I missed anything?
OMG! I'm boggled.
It's gotten more severe. I'm going back to Piobaireachd.
A touch of the Fred Morrison about him.
I wonder who is better, Stuart liddell or Gordon Duncan?
The Joker Stuart
Stuart
I suggest a bagpipe battle
I'm pretty sure that would be Alan McLeod :)
Gordon
Y Carlos Núñez?
Gordon Duncan was quick.
Was he in the army or something? His name sounds really familiar..
Movie about a mouse.
I wonder what that sheet music looks like.
Bet they wrote it in cut-time.
Well, you wouldn't want them to go TOO fast, otherwise his pipes would sound like a data modem.
plz anyone the list of tunes he played
Bandali Tannous, "The Mason's Apron" comprises most of the video, and appears on the remix album Celtic Grooves, by various artists and produced by Ian Campbell. Rob Crabtree performed the piping on that album, which is one of my favs!
Love the piping
What are the tunes
Fantastic

What's the song after Scotland the brave?
Jamie Brownlie when the saints go marching in
Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa.
We're going to dance all night long bro if they don't like us drinking if they don't like us fighting don't fight but if they don't like us drinking we're going to be drinking tonight
The fastest bagpiper on the world is Carlos Nuñez

Nooooo way he is the fastest piper, my instructor can play faster
do you even know who this is? Not just his name man but his history? or are you an internet piping toll.
Fastest???..... A few cock ups by the sound of it?
Braw
Such a troll.
What?
Hector Long I love it when pros play Scotland the Brave, I find it hilarious ;p
Then why did you say troll?
Hector Long lkkkkkl
How come my daughter can play as fast... She is only 14
Lucy 1:48 might not be as fast as your daughter, and just because she may be able to play it fast doesn't mean she can play it well at that speed
I highly doubt that, and even if she can, she definiatley can not do it with such precision and perfection, and if she does then why is she not a world champion, like Stuart
Bubbles hi bubbles how’s Julian and Ricky?

@@evanm3703 or having an opinion that people do not like.
"slightly better than average" you my friend have a skewed definition of average.
You must be a brilliant piper if you think this is “slightly better than average lol” I’m a piper myself and it’s easy to tell he’s class
Brian Lamond beat him. Just saying
Gordon did it better
Nope Gordon did...that reed sounds really easy...too easy so easy that is sounds crappy..great playing though
All due respect, but speed isn't everything. Quality beats quantity.
All due respect, that is quality and speed
Stuart's one of the best pipers in the world. He has it all.
He just copies Gordon Duncan and Gordon Walker and really isn't that good at it...worst 2/4 March player I've ever heard
evedently you know nothing of real piping laddie his 2/4 marches were spot on stuart uses a different reed for competetions
Best part comes: Always a fat head gets in the way! Always!
