A Fundamental Etude for Feadogs was created for people like Jim, who once upon a time decided to warn Mr L.E.McCullough of the Complete Irish Tinwhistle Tutor, which had "taught the joys of tinwhistling to more than one million people worldwise", that the tunes in the back were too difficult.

This reply appeared in forward of the Second Edition:

"By the end of the first instructional section, you should be able to dig into the tunes that follow. Over the past four years since the tutor was first issued, I have received many comments that the tunes in the back of the book were too difficult. Sorry Jim, but all you have to do keep looking through until you simply find an easy one. The tunes are still arranged according to the type of tune, simply because that's the way editors of Irish music collections have been organizing their work for three centuries; it's a sensible method too. So when you're ready to start playing the tunes in the back, you could start with an air, or one of the harp tunes, or perhaps a polka or slide. As you feel more comfortable with the music, then attempt tunes that are more ornamented and challenging."
