who?
ryan duns in the video? (there are so many more) 😉

Yes ... if there were any C's in the tune they would be natural. C# you play all the holes open ... C you have some options depending on what sounds best on your whistle ... half hole the top hole, cover the 2nd and 3rd holes from the top or just the second hole.
Figuring out what key a piece of music is in can be tricky and where some music theory comes in handy. How do we know that this tune is in the key of G?
First you look at the Key signature of the peice. This one shows one sharp on the top line which is the F note ... so F sharp. What scales have one F# in them .... G does and it's related modes. Next look at the first note (not the low D .. that's an into note) the first bar begins with a G. Next where does the tune resolve to? Each Section A and B part resolves from G to G. Everything is point you to the key of G.

i didnt had the chance to continue working on it since my posting on November 11, 2012, 21:17 .... had no computer for several days, and after that i had to do the work i missed in the days before 🙁

"Fast" doesn't necessarily mean "good" (which is imo this case, but I don't have time too nevertheless I didn't want to be ggiles alone).
