This guy is really talented.. I lived with him for a while once and could listen to him playing the didge, and a few other instruments, all day long.. The sound quality here doesn't do him much justice but it's still pretty damn good..

Wow honey, that was excellent man!!:cool: Does he play professionally?
I love the didge too. I can get a few sounds out but haven't quite mastered the circular breathing yet - need more practice!:o

It's bloody difficult!!!! I went the colour of my name and almost passed out
circular breathing is a tough technique to master, we have a local guy with a shop in town selling aboriginal art work etc and he is amazing with the didge...I always have to stop and listen on my way past.The artwork is also incredible

Well I haven't seen him for 2 years so it was a nice surprise when I was tubing for didge stuff, but he did used to travel a lot and do a lot of gigs etc. and used to make a living from busking which is cool...:cool:

Ha! you aint wrong there :cool:
Like lookfar, I can make a few sounds but to keep it going is pretty hard, but then again I just haven't practiced enough...

Excellent video, I love didgeridoo music too. For all those struggling with circular breathing this video may help:

there is also lots of music featuring the didge on archive.org. xavier rudd is my favourite (at the moment:)).
