18. Blame the whistle for fluffs and tuning wobbles

19. Being too thin-skinned to accept a little blunt but well-intentioned advice

22. (or 20 if I overlook the repeated numbers)
Getting overwhelmed by all the possible resources and trying to learn everything from everywhere at once.

I've only been playing for about 9 months so this one applies to me.

23. Assuming tha a more expensive whistle will be a better whistle.

Taking it too serious.

You can be serious - but when you stop having fun, you're too serious.

I think this makes # 30?? something like that...

Underestimating the impact of mindless drills on your technical skill. the only reason not to do so is laziness, and the results from disciplined, focused drilling in practice makes your practice time 500% more effective. cuts, rolls, tongues, breathing, individual tunes taken phrase by phrase, everything. Take your time and be meticulous about everything.

33. Taking your whistle to Irish sessions, joining in, and wondering why sessions all seem to end shortly after you arrive ...

... until someone finally pulls you aside for a little chat.

* 33 = Official count!
