I taught myself circular breathing on the Didgeridoo if anyone has any questions on that. I'm not a pro but just learned it quick and it's really not hard as some make it out to be.

Well I'm in the same boat you are. I'd say most people are, as it's a fairly hard instrument to add to a jam/garage band sort of thing. The only two things I'd say you might look into if you're very into playing it yet at a standstill and don't feel like sitting on a street corner droning for change... 1. Beat boxing while playing it. I don't do it myself but there's lots of vids of people literally beat-boxing into it as they play. It can sound cool but it often sounds mediocre if your not already heavily experienced at beat-boxing. 2. Modding it. Adding a small mic at the end and installing FX processing and knobs directly on it like one YouTube guy did. Very cool but also kinda complex. Purists will probably scoff at this but it can sound really otherworldly. 3. Playing to trace/techno beats. You have to be GOOD to do this and not sound terrible. But much like the videos out there, once you get experience it can sound really incredible. You need to be able to play fast, circular breathe fast, and have good lung capacity. Hope that at least inspires some interest. Most people I know, including myself, are stuck in that rut. I mean, it's kind of a one-note instrument and hard to play in a band but there are some cool things people are doing with it. The Cleaner fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Jun 6, 2011 |
