I've watched so many videos but the only trick that could get my drone started was your one about the smile. Thanks dude.

Thanks! My didgeridon't finally do!!

I bought a didgeridoo a couple months ago and couldn't find a proper lesson. it took me 10 m to make a drone with you and I'm so thankful. you actual give mouth placement visuals which no one does. I can't understand why not. they just say do this with your mouth lmao . anyways thank you ten fold

I'm one minute in and I already love this guy I'm ready to pay for him to come to my place

BEST didg drone tutorial thanks

Hi Master, I am starting to learn digiridoo with you. I started make sounds from the PVC pipes now I bought my first wooden digiridoo from varkala, the guy who sell made it. My dear friend Gopalji introduced the world of digiridoo to me. I have breathing problem and snoring problem, I really believe Digiridoo is the medication. So we start here Master 🙏🏻

ME2 I quit all carbohydrates and went with the hydrocarbons instead. Got healthy and now for me it is time to sustain it all with a stress free hobby such as a Didgeridoo. You Loose the carbs too dude and I will mastr the DDGDoo. They must complement each other well as both do the job on their own.

Just ordered basic didgeridoo!!! Thank you for lessons!!!

Extremely helpful. Thank you.

I’m getting some sound vibrations now, thank you for th lesson, please continue, you’re so good at this🙏🏽 I must say I’m finding it hard to gently blow for more than 15-20seconds. I shall keep practicing💪🏽haha there’s plenty of life left in this 53yr old woman. Actually I’m 54 this Sunday and hence my new didgeridoo❤️all handmade & hand painted with a story behind th art on her. Yes, my didgeridoo is a girl, need a beautiful, meaningful indigenous name for her now😁After all she came all th way from Australia to me in th UK yesterday❤️ And what a beauty🙏🏽

thanks!!!! finaly got my drone! great movie :-)

I tried so much videos and techniques, they are not bad, But this is the only one that took me slowly to actually make a real drone with vibration.... amazing , simple and really effective way of teaching.... Thank you so much

Thanks bunches!

Thanks, good technic for breath

been trying this a while and cannot even get a basic drone ! but you are about the best I've come across on the tube...Thanks

Thank you! Got it because of you.

Oh nice!

I like your experimental approach .. it would have been very exciting to search for best resonance pitch for different pipe lengths ..

Grrreetings from Summery Finland. I have only now found out that breathwork, Nitirc=Oxide, sun UV IR exposure healtmining and YES ,DidgerDoo are linked. Got a plastic bottle and a vacuum cleaner pipe resonate nicely. Thanks to your tips :)

I was actualy thinking the same thing, that i should have someone play my didgerido so i know what sound im looking for. And actualy good tips.

Thanks got it!

Ok I'm back. I watched your video on circular breathing not long ago. Why don't you comment back😂😂. So I got my didgeridoo this morning all day trying to make noise watching videos no sound. 5 minutes after doing exactly what you showed here and I hit my first sustainable resonant not. More people that want to play need to see this. Very cool and thank you.

Thanks! I really needed this ultra-beginners lesson. I have been trying to play and can't get a good sound.. These tips seen to help 😊. If you have any more tips let us know where they are.

Thanks for your tips, I recently had a didgeridoo and I'm trying to play it. I can produce the good sound/vibration pretty well but it takes too much air strengh so I can't make it sound while breathing as I've seen on another tutorials. The cheek strength is not enough to keep the vibration continued. Are there some instruments more difficult to play than others? It's a bit frustrating needing that much strength from diaphragm.

Ok, I've found your "not circular breathing" video right now. I will take a look. Your explanations and examples are very easy to get, thanks ;)

This is super helpful. I have noticed that the only way to get a drone, is when my cheeks are puffed out... Would you recommend me not puffing out my cheeks to try and make the drone sound?

Sometimes after playing for a little while when I'm good and warmed up, I have issues getting the drone started. From a cold start never an issue. Been playing for about 6 months now. Kinda weird, but wondered if you have ever heard of this issue. Btw, awesome vids. Thx for sharing!

There isn't really a "proper" size as it varies for everyone. I supposed we could come up with a standard range, though. Perhaps I'll check with the Didgeridoo Learning Community group on FB and ask everyone to measure their mouthpieces! :)

Hey breathwood! When ‘blowing’ the drone, are your jaws like ‘tensioned’ or are they totally relaxed and not nothing each other?

@Breathwood

There's enough muscle tone to hold my jaw in place but hopefully not creating extra tension.

Do I actually need a didgeridoo to learn playing it? It seems that to make a sound you mainly need to get your lips vibrating - the didge is maybe just an amplifier? Could you tell the difference between a real didge and just a pipe from the do-it-yourself store?

@Breathwood

4 жыл бұрын

You don't actually need the didge, no! But of course it's much more fun using the didgeridoo's acoustic ability to amplify certain frequencies and also help hold the mouth in place. A pipe from the hardware store definitely works too!

Thanks! Where should I get a didgeridoo for a beginner?

@morgothaod it took me a few days of practicing to get the right sound. At first I thought the instrument was defective, the way I picked it up is by watching videos and trying different positioning with my lips -- eventually i learned to get it to sound right intermittently - and every time i got it sounding right, I would hold that sound as long as I could and observe exactly how i was positioning my lips and how much air i was blowing. Then I would try to replicate it until it became normal to do so. You almost feel it when you are getting it right, feels like a rumble going through your head :)
