I know that in a bunch of the posts alot of you have mentioned circular breathing so I was wondering if you guys have some tips to help me learn because I am finding it the hardest thing ever. I know half of you say it's easy but I just can't get a handle on it. I have a didgeridoo and I can make all sorts of kick ass sounds and I find it is so much fun to play but the whole inability to circular breathe is really holding me back. I would love to use it in my band for a song but I can't do that untill I can circular breathe. So yeah, any tips would be greatly appreciated because I've been trying on and off for a couple months now and it gets very frustrating. Thanks.

i saw a circular breathing page on wikipedia.org so i would try that. I think one of the exercises you can do is get a straw in a glass of water and try to keep blowing bubbles without stopping.

Thanks man. I will definately check that out. I've tried the straw thing but I need a bigger straw. The whole technique is such a pain.
