[Tin whistle TUTORIAL] How to play the tin whistle - Gallagher's Frolics (jig)

This is the first time I try to upload something similar to a tutorial, although people have been asking me for years. What you can see here is (my TIPS) (BTW, click the "Join" button for more videos like this):

Just by adding some cuts here and there (for emphasis) you no longer sound like a beginner.
A roll is just a cut followed by a tap and it's a very cool thing (and very usual in Irish trad music).
See where and how I breathe. After a long note which I shorten OR by skipping the middle note in 3-note groups OR by "breaking" a roll and breathing in the middle of it (in this case you don't do a roll at all).
I recommend to tongue the first note of a phrase (when you start to play after breathing), by doing something similar to a "ta" with your tongue. You can slur the rest of notes and just tongue the ones you want to emphasize (don't do too much tonguing or it won't sound trad Irish at all).
