A modern method for Great Highland Bagpipes devised by Lindsay Davidson in the 1990s and refined many times since then. This text was subsequently used as the starting point for a free web-based teach yourself method which has been used by thousands of people since being created. Originally published by the Complete 'Piping Service in 1997, thousands of copies of this small manual have been sold since then. Written in a clear and concise style using Lindsay's well-known 'order of events' concept and unique 'X+O' notation, this book explains all of the basic technique of playing the Scottish bagpipes in a way that can be used by all teachers. Buyers of this book may also be interested in another book by the same author, "On Teaching Bagpipes" which looks in more detail at the theory behind this method. Simple and to the point, a 'must have' for all eager students of the Great Highland Bagpipe of Scotland.
