Didgeridoo after 2.5 months of Practice
March 30, 2011 11:42 PM
        Here I am on the didgeridoo after about two and a half months of practice. I am able to produce much more complicated rhythms now. Also something new has happened, like in a Bryan Adams song he says, 'played until my fingers bled', well I have played this thing so much that my lips have bled! Not much though, it didn't hurt either, it's nothing to worry about. It's just so much fun to play! It's also an intense work out, playing this thing for just 3 min leaves you exhausted!
        One thing I do find annoying though, is when I make these recordings my sniffs of air are quite audible. In a lot of other videos on line, you don't really hear it, am I doing something wrong? Or maybe my inhales are just louder than others? Should I reposition the mic, because it seems to get it no matter where I place it. Advice welcomed from any didge players out there!

COMMENT: Gosh, you were playing so fast throughout this entire video! I forgot what you called it but it starts with an `f`. Sounds like there`re two songs playing at once. Fugue? Anyways, it sounds fantastic. So many more rhythms since the last time I heard you play.

COMMENT: I must admit, I was a little weirded out when I read the title and some of the article.... but the sound is kinda neat. Particularly since you crafted the instrument yourself!

COMMENT: thanks guys! I think this has become my new favorite instrument to play. And yeah, it`s a little weird, but there is apparently a huge following on the internet, it`s almost meditative to play because you really have to focus on rhythms and breathing, and let`s face it, when have I ever wanted to be normal?
