Video Transcript

"We're going to talk about the D throw now. This movement really consists of three notes always ending on D. The first note is low G, the second thing you do is open to D, close back to C and quickly open back up to D. You can come to this from any note on the chanter. So, by itself, this is a D throw, the slow version. The fast version is. You want to be sure not to get a second low G in after you play the D and the C. It's a clean G, D, C, D. Right? G, D, C, D. So, that's the D throw."
