I showed you the standalone beatbox technique in the last lesson ( https://steemit.com/didgeridoo/@nathankaye/didgeridoo-beatboxing-lesson-1-of-16-with-nathan-kaye-world-s-first-didge-boxer ), now I am going to show you how to really use it on your didgeridoo. So grab your didgeridoo again and let's see you are coming along.
Lesson goals
-Create your beatbox voice with the didgeridoo up to your lips
-Learn the proper way to time your breathing and know when is the right time for each kind of breath
-Practice keeping your lips vibrating while performing the drone and using your beatbox voice
Training tips
-If you are having trouble don't hesitate to continue practicing your "buns and beaches" technique without using the didgeridoo. Once you feel comfortable
with the technique on its own then you can try it again on the didgeridoo
-Once you learn how to keep your lips vibrating during the drone, the rest of the steps will become very easy for you
-As you already know, your breathing technique is very important for playing the didgeridoo. This goes double for beatboxing on the didgeridoo due to the new sounds that you will be making
-Remember, if you still need more time to practice what you learned in this lesson, don't try to move on to the next lesson quite yet. Make sure you can perform everything in this lesson so easily that it bores you before moving on

Didgeridoos are so cool sounding!
Subbed your youtube ch and thumbed up.
Would like to get a Didgeridoo someday.
Does it tickle your lips? :-)

That's actually a very good question to ask, but not many ask it. Initially, your lips tingle and depending how much you play in the early days, your lips swell a bit, but that period doesn't last long. The vibrations are very strong, so with a mustache and didge in the wrong position the hair follicles can slice your lip.
Aside from thta, learning didgeridoo and circular breathing is fabulous for your breathing and mental health. It is the quickest method I've found to reach deep meditative states (whether playing or listening) when played in long, slow drones. And conversely, it can charge you up when played at super fast tempos.
If you're naturally drawn to it, I can't recommend it enough.

Oh wow! Thank you so much for that link, bro! I had no idea what the distinction was between the two. All I knew was that you need to get your steem power up, so I figured the 100 was the smartest choice, but it really isn't.
Anyway to change it wonce the post has gone up?
