There are trust issues involved - that we trust each other to be supportive, and to offer constructive criticism.
There is no better way to learn than to critique your own recording, painful though it may be.
The musician's ego is fragile. Offering a clip of your playing to your peers is a great way to confront your fear of failure.
Thanks to all for accepting my modest efforts.
Thanks to all who have posted for trusting the rest of us.

It's been 9 months since my last YouTube upload. It was about time for another.
"Jig of the dead" played on my favourite homemade flute.

"Jig of the dead"
I'd almost be tempted to suggest you team it up with Coiscéim sa sí and make a great set for Halloween, A bit late for it though, but it will work well for all occasions. :wink:

Thanks - that is a good tip because I was not yet sure which tune might go well with it :).

At last, someone who actually plays the instrument ! On another thread a member asked if he should post a clip and it seemed like the whole forum descended on him... and we still hadn't and haven't heard his playing :-?

This is another of my practice session clips, two minutes of recording on mobile and mixdown anything (just) listenable from that. I put this online as a thank you to Terry McGee, because I would not have made this flute without all the details he provides online. It is the Rudall based flute, and gives an idea of the kind of playing it allows, and some of the sound possible. Actually...I never finished tuning it and just took to playing it...another day maybe ;-) .

Timing and so on...I am still learning this tune (Green Mountain) and finding phrasing... in fact I don't even know the second part at all. No effects applied.

Hi, my first post here. This is me playing Tom Billy’s and Ryan’s Jig, which I picked up from De Dannan’s album “selected jigs, reels and songs”. Hope you like it.

This is a tune I like to play, I'll call it The Nightjar, but it doesn't have a name really. As it isn't a reel or jig I suppose it must be an air . Anyway, it gives one idea of how the Tuareg3 flute sounds when played a certain way, though it can be played more "open" as well ...it is just 5 mins of recording shortened, you can hear the fades between parts and there is a bit too much "bw" in the pronunciation in places. Recorded on phone no eq or effect change except a (tiny) amount of reverb is added to that present in the room because it doesn't sound like it was being played otherwise for lack of pick up of that background from mic.

That’s a lovely one, Greenwood. One of your own too I guess from your post? The metre of it reminds me of a slow air called Na Connerys, although they’re totally different airs. Fair play

Still struggling with this, so if you listen it is for the tune and not the playing. A bit of eq applied for background, and as usual on phone from best I could piece together of a few minutes of recording. For some reason I find the second part particularly demanding, am ok top of 2nd octave for other tunes, and sometimes I even sound like Matt Molloy for a note or two...for part of a note...I'm learning. I guess it is just the combination of the large range in short time, the cadence and trills that makes second part more difficult. Anyway, it is together enough to get an idea what the tune is about, and as a bonus there is probably an extra note or two added and I can't say any fairer than that.

P.S. Thanks Martisan, I just read your reply now. Yes, it is one of my own...well you know when you start just playing a tune it doesn't seem like you've made it either, but often I start with a sound or short melody that I like when I'm just playing freely and then take some effort to complete it as I think it all sounds . I will look up the tune you mention, I'm really quite ignorant of all the traditional music that has been written so far because I'm relatively new to it all... I tend to occasionally listen to tunes by known players and if I like one then will learn it and research it also a bit.

The sound of The Nightjar does come from that way or sentiment of music though, no doubt. The Horse With the Whistling Lip above, I started the first part briefly several months ago and left it at that, then I'm playing more recently and there is a tune that starts that feels familiar and I finish it and only at the end do I realise it is all continued from the previous, which is also the title.
