Teach me to whistle

[workswithseed 2201]

I've gone 25 years of my life trying to figure out how to blow air out of my mouth to whistle, but have never really got it. It's something I've wanted to know how but never been able to, do how do y'all whistle?

Basic whistling, it helps if you lick your lips.  After that, you want to concentrate on feeling the air move over your lips.

To whistle loudly, you put your ring and middle fingers on each and together.  You put them in your mouth, resting the first nuckle groove on the bottom of your middle fingers on your lower canine teeth.  With the tips of your fingers, you fold the tip of your tongue backwards over itself.  Then, you purse your lips together in the middle and blow.  It's louder 'n hell.

You tried “always letting your conscience be your guide”?

@dcbc. I couldn't do your loud whistle but I can do a like coo from a dove just with regular whistling.

Practice Practice.  Had someone teach me the loud one in eighth grade.  Took a while.

I couldn't whistle until I was like 19.  Just kind of happened one day
