Re: Another newbie question

My opinion had the value it has, but for me I think it's a ridiculous way to achieve what you want. Just doesn't seem logical!

Keep practising and good luck!

Cheers!

Re: recommendations for metronome tuner

A metronome is always good in any kind of music you play, as for me I never tried it with the whistle, but it might be a good choice. As for the model, there are lots of them, ranging from 20€ to 200€, I guess that if you have the possibility to check some live in a store, you should do it. There ar...

Re: Another newcomer in this forum

Hi there Stefan, and be welcome to the C&F!

Right now I'm at work, but I got curious about your band and I'll check the videos later at home. By then I'll let you know my (probably worthless) opinion!

Enjoy your time here at the C&F!

Cheers!

Edit: this was my 100th post :D

Re: Give Me Your Best!

My favorite whistle moment is quite recent... I am not a great player, really still a total beginner with a few simple tunes under my belt. That being said, I doubt that I could find a better experience if I had played for 50 years and was so good that Mary Bergin wanted lessons from me :)... The b...
