Have been practicing for awhile and I am loving it. Learnt the guitar at shool but the dig is something else

Depends how you are playing it? No idea mate, and I'm an Aussie. Blow in it I guess.

I can already pound out sounds am hoping to get together bith some1, doubt it's popular over here but just asking

for some reason the bloody japs are good at it......see many japs busking on a friday and saturday night in sydney....and they collect alot from drunks that can`t believe an asian mans going hard at a dig.

If you can inhale through the nose while exhaling through the mouth, continually making a fart noise by vibrating your lips you can play the dig

The trick is maintaining the sound without perceptibly taking a breath.....I believe the current world record for this breathing technique is held by Kenny G.

From Wikipedia

In 1997, Kenny G earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for playing the longest note ever recorded on a saxophone. Kenny G held an E-flat for forty five minutes and 12 seconds in the Hopkins-Bright Auditorium at D&R Music World in New York City.

Perhaps you should go for a new record..... :o

The trick is using the air in your mouth to continue the "sound" whilst drawing a new breath, thus making a continuous sound without any discernible break.

If you can play a "brass wind" instrument, you stand a good chance of being able to play a didgeridoo. The breathing is the hardest part.

Can Anyone Play The Didgeridoo

ask Rolf Harris, one of Australia's finest exports (along with Dame Edna), a legend among aussies

here his arrival in London in 1963 post-7932-1226221450_thumb.jpg he never looked backed since :o

The technique is called circular breathing. It is almost as hard as trying to get sound out of a Putatara (an indigenous Maori instrument in New Zealand).

Which was also the most interesting thing that Kenny G has ever played.

Plenty of good didge music about, Yothu Yindi is amongst the best there is, couple of good white didge players too,for example Kurt Walker the renowned Queensland Herpetologist is also very good,lots of instruction dvds about too :o
