Didgeridoo

I just bought a didgeridoo on Saturday, and I'm trying to teach myself how to play. Any tips from other didgeridoo players would be wonderful

I can already make the mouth motions and get a few different sounding basic drones. I read about circular breathing, but i can't seem to get it quite right. Does it take a long time to get it right?

 

It takes tons of practice

 

do you play?

 

o those things are so trippy

 

i know mine has swirls in the wood all over, and has two big flowers painted on it

 

You'll be able to work out the breathing, just be patient! The didge will open up a whole new world for you if you put your mind to it - it's an instrument for unlimited expression. Enjoy the drone!

 

Thanks Ginge! droning is cool so far. i can also do some short barks and such now too

 

i have no advise but i really want one

 

ah... i love the sound of a didge.. one of the last bands i saw had a didge in it.. he did a nice long solo... it was great...

 

my sis bought me a didge when she was in australlia, but i have no idea how to really play it either...i used to know how to, but i definitly need to learn how. especially circular breathing, i got no idea how to do that

 

i have one of those. i've never really got into trying to play it. they are sweet though.

 

i like your signature ayahuasca

 

thanks. yours is pretty cute too

 

I play the didj quite well, been playing for about 5 years now, it took me about 6 months to do circuar breathing properly, but once you get it, it opens a hole new world to playing the didj. The longest Ive played it for is 2 Hrs none stop

Circular breathing is quite simple, You start by puffing your cheeks out hold your breath & squeeze the air out your mouth slowly making a raspberry noise & breath in thru your nose.

here are my 2 didj's
