Hi,
After two years of trying I am still getting frustrated by some of the tunes that I first tried to learn. I am now believeing that some tunes just won't ever sound good on the tin whislte.
Here are the commn session tunes which have frustated me most ...
1. Kesh Jig - problem: version I know has too many cuts - solution: learn new version.
2. Maid Behind The Bar - problem: version I know has to many intervals in the second part that come out squeaky solution : ?
3. Trip to Durrow - same as above.
4. Gillians Apples - causes eardrum destruction all round because of the high Bs
5. Gravel Walks - I can't make the last part sound anywhere near as interesting as on the fiddle.
6. Concertina Reel - there is a bit near the end of the first part that runs up the holes - it just doesn't sound distinct enough.
7. Tar Road to Sligo - I always have to pause a bit to get the high part at the end of the first part. This ruins the timing.
Anyone else experienced these problems ?
Should I give up or can someone give me some technical tips ...
