I am just learning to play the bagpipes after being a drummer for 15 years. My goal is to march down 5th Ave. in the NYC St. Patrick's Day parade next to my 13yo son as we both play the pipes.
A good friend of mine has taken on the extreme challenge of teaching me the bagpipes and helping me reach my goal. In an effort to increase my practice time, he created several short videos of the music (broken down by each line and then a full version of the song...... I posted each video separate) that I have posted to YouTube.
I found that taking the video from the side has helped me follow his fingers better on the chanter. I also asked him to play the song slower so I could follow along a little easier.
I hope you find these videos as helpful as I have.
Cheers,
Highland
