LESSON 12: UILLEANN PIPE BACK D & 8TH NOTES

Watch the video below to learn to play D and then try the exercise below. Take your time and double check to make sure you are playing each note correctly before moving on to the next lesson.

​Things to Remember:
​
  • ​Use the pads of your fingers, not the tips.
  • If the chanter makes a squeaky harsh sound that means your not covering the holes well enough.
  • Your fingers should be arched slightly, but be mostly straight. 
  • Take your time and don't rush.
  • Chanter bottom should be against your leg.
  • Keep fingers relaxed.
  • Don't worry too much about tuning, you will learn that later.
