Which instument does ye' play?


Recommended Posts

Arr, matey. I be findin' that th'best way t'be learnin' how'ta play an instrument be t'experiment aroun' with it till ye produce consistent results. Now, I ain't never played a digeridoo, but I did have an aboriginal wind instrument that be goin' along the same principal. I never be figurin' it out, but t'should be easy t'do so if ye have the motivation, savvy? Even if ye only can devote ten minutes a day t'learnin', ye should figure it out in no time.

You need to learn a technique called "circular breathing." I know a gal who's part of "My Lady's Cutlass" that plays the dig, and that's exactly what she had to do in order to produce the proper drone.

I'd start searching Amazon.com or the internet in general for information.

Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

Tell him you were referred by "Dread Fred" from Scarborough and he'll likely share some tips with you on how to get started. He's beeen playing for over 15 years and sells them as a nigh full time gig.

Good Luck,
