[platypusoboe]

[RussellUp99]

Great Job! Where did you get the music for this? I can't find it!

[cairnslindsey]

I play oboe too. U gotta post the sheet music to that cos I am hunting for songs tht aren't either boring classical songs or exam pieces lol

[ilikiecheese]

Wow that sounds so different than my clarinet! I wanna play oboe too though :|

[101juciebox]

@lonleyorangejuice that stinks but you will eventually get to play a concert I mean you made it the first time almos

[101juciebox]

Wat keys did u use I can't play it

[StupidVideoProducers]

Did you get dressed up for that? Seriously?

[DarkerRai]

Dude... I have an oboe... YOU GOTTA GIMME THE SHEET MUSIC

[kimkibumkey231]

@lonelyorangejuice

That's why u should have more than one reed

[cackboyyy1234]

[shmoo911]

WHAT IS IT WITH OBOE PLAYERS AND NOT SHOWING THEIR FACE!!!! lol

[cassidymichellex3]

@shmoo911 lololol i've noticed. Oboe players are like... self conscious... Sincerely, a self conscious oboe player.

[jingleking1]

@shmoo911 cause wer're ninja like that. thats why :)

[jingleking1]

@shmoo911 cause wer're ninja like that. thats why :) also our faces sometimes get reallllly red when we play, sigh maybe that's why we get selfconcious

[lonelyorangejuice]

nice jobbbbbb... but ya dude... never EVER leave the oboe standing with out a stand, especially with the reed... not too long ago i did that the day before a huge concert, my oboe fell and the reed broke. guess what i didnt get to play in?

other that that nice job!!

[choclatefan4111]

Sorry, but the other guy sounded better

[naylynnjonas]

PLEASE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME SORT OF MUSIC OR SOMETHING AND DONT LEAVE YOUR OBOE JUST SITTING THEREWHEN YOUR DONE...IT SCARES ME

[ReadingWeirdo]

Awesome :)

[Hiriness]

I admit, you are decent on oboe. The only thing is...(I am looking at the music for this...) you dont hold some of the notes long enough, and others you hold waaay too long. Slow down a bit all of they way so that you dont have to slow down at only some parts. Otherwise, good job!

[MultiAlecat]

please send me the notes cause i wanna play it too.

[MultiAlecat]

can you do it slower next time because i want to try yo play it to

[ItachixHinata4ever]

ive been playing my oboe for 2 months, and its makes me terrified to see you put your oboe on the ground because of how and expensive it is and the reed, but otherwise good job! Wish I could play it

[tubing1214]

so darn cool

[smartalec1998]

i currently play clarinet, i think oboes are friggin annoying!!

[SpiritDeathCoon]

@smartalec1998 MUAHAHA, it's because oboes are for annoying people by heart. :D (I play oboe. ;3)

[shmary45]

@smartalec1998

thts what we're made for hon.

:)

[ItachixHinata4ever]

@smartalec1998 clarinets are to common, low chance youll get a scholarship on playing the clarinet :/ and i agree what SpiritDeathCon said

[heyizmekatychick]

@smartalec1998 Clarinets are sqeaky and whiny.(:

[ReadingWeirdo]

@heyizmekatychick

Actually oboes are squeaky and whiny...

[heyizmekatychick]

@ReadingWeirdo Ohh your just jelous my friendd(;

[ReadingWeirdo]

@heyizmekatychick

I'm not jealous... I actually play both the clarinet and the oboe, but if anyone disses any instrument (including ones I don't play) it actually makes me angry.

[yshabash]

not the best oboe sound but pretty good compared to all the other vids (and much better than me since this is my first day and I feel like my b is a #$%^ whore wreck so congratz on that '_'

[purple92684]

can u send me the notes cuz iv been playing for 2 months and i want to try this :D

[AmericanWarHero]

Ouch, I can't live without my left F key

Oboe is the best Insturment on the planet, all other insturments wish they could be half as good as an Oboe :DDD

[ohhkenziie]

@AmericanWarHero win.

[thedarkfairy707]

AHHH FORKED F?!? HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD!

Work on tone and what kind of reed do you use? soft? med. soft? if so you should use a harder reed it makes the quality (tone) sooo much better.

I used med. soft for 2 yrs. then i used hard and it got sooooooo much better

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@thedarkfairy707 Medium if you want to start somewhere a little less challenging. I usually use Medium and I sound pretty good.

The hardness of the reed, however, isn't what makes the instrument sound good. If anything, it just helps it stand up you your embouchure. An ideal oboe reed should actually give a bit, so you can adjust the pitch better.

[hesitation11]

play clarinet man.

[DD4ever2gether]

@TofuJamOut I agree with you. Even though I've been playing the oboe for less than a year, the moment I saw that reed on that oboe, I freaked out. Seriously, thoses reeds are EXPENSIVE! Please don't do that again. It's just scary. And it's awesome! I'll try to do that one day :)

[Darman017]

i play oboe for 4 years, and i really like it.. i can play all kinds of music, if you want i can record some and post them for you to watch.. i dont have a camera but a microphone so ill add some pics to make it interesting

[lonarus]

I also play the oboe, for three years actually, and i gotta say, it's freaking sweet!

Nice job man, but yeah, don't leave your oboe leaning on the chair like that!

[14dancinQueen14]

wow people are so rude, you did great. I am one of two oboists at my school and you kicked some butt at that song. oboe is hard, so what if it wasnt in tune. playing in tune is ten times harder than just learning the songs and notes takes years and years.

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@14dancinQueen14 They were trying to critique her, not be rude...

[Stoneripple1]

AHHH!!!! check ur tuner!!! omg, ahhh... high notes note good :(

With more practice there could be much improvement, u needa make ur notes connected, don't pause

[DaHaaas]

it's quiet good, but not awesome! i play oboe too and i think with a bit more practising you woukd play it much better!

[pandachick1024]

this is AWESOME!!!!!!! i play the oboe, never heard such a sweet job of playing this song... Good Job!!

[coconutjuicey]

where do you get the sheet music? PLEASE SHARE!

[Hedder620]

I play the oboe.

THATS FRICKING SWEEET!

[brawlaventures]

Hey me 2

[samuelmbeach]

All I can say is that it's good, but sit up straight with great posture, and do not buy store bought reeds, they sound horrible, and are made from machine (I found a crack in a couple of mine when I bought it) buy ones that someone hand makes, they sound wonderful.

[kliffnotes]

Super! I enjoyed that.

[TofuJamOut]

so im assuming that you've only been playing for like.... 8 months? judging by tone quality and precision. and the fact that you left your oboe standing up leaning on the chair....with the reed in the oboe. so maybe even less than 8 months because of that. I play oboe too and im going into my 3rd year. please never ever do that. it frightens me so much when i see it. good job though. :)

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@TofuJamOut I've played Oboe seven years, going on eight. And yeah, the best place for the reed really is in your mouth or in your reed cup. Those are expensive, you know.

[crttoys1]

@TofuJamOut Jeez dude! Chill out!

[Comedyking896]

@TofuJamOut snob...

[abbyhumphreys]

[VictorMojica95]

[weatherboy1233]

[oboeplayer2211]

[0scaro]

im playing clarinet but i like te sound of oboe. Do you know what your instrument is tuned it? like Bb or E# or something like that? does your left pinky get assigned 3 keys and your right pinky 4 keys?

[WingedTigerGuy]

Key of C

[Kitty15157]

Whats the notes?

Very nice tone :D

Send me the notes :O

I already know 8 of them ^-^

[Terrakid11]

Oh that's really neat, good job!

[CpFiddyy]

good job could u send me the sheet music?

[Coffee3649]

I only used forked fingering for F on my oboe(: Can you send me the sheet music please!

[MidnightKat5000]

Oh no! Are you using forked F?! If so, I hope it's because there's no left F key. Good job. ^_^

[yaoming600]

yeah, its a student oboe so i hav 2 use forked f. thx 4 comment

[ilovewilsonal]

Cant do u do forked and regular F on student oboe? I can on mine? Great job

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@yaoming600 You have the capability to do the Right F on that? I think student oboes have that key...

[mookawz]

@yaoming600 omg i hate forked f

[waterwolf121]

@MidnightKat5000

I like forked F better, but thats probably because I used it that when I learned. Is it better or easier to always use regular?

[MidnightKat5000]

@waterwolf121 Well ok. If your horn is equipped with a left F key then you should most def use regular F and of course left F, the reason is forked F has a horrible tone and the tuning is almost always off. The only exception is on English horn - for some reason it sounds better. However, if you do not have a left F then you have no choice but to use Forked F. It is also good oboe technique to use reg and forked fingerings.

[waterwolf121]

@MidnightKat5000

Thanks!!! :D

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@MidnightKat5000 It's also very difficult to shift between the Forked F and some fingerings. I actually resent learning the Forked F as my primary F fingering because now it's messed me up and I can't use much else without forcing myself. :(

But yeah, if your oboe has the capability, USE THE LEFT OR RIGHT F. Which one you actually use depends on the key of the song and what note you're switching to.

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@waterwolf121 I find Forked easier, but it would be to your benefit to learn the Left and Right Fs IF your oboe has the capability. Look at yours. Does it have a little key below the second key on the bottom? Press the upper three, first two on the bottom, and that little key for the Right F. Look at the cluster of keys next to the bottom-upper key. If there's another slender key over it, press first three top, bottom first two, and that slender key for a Left F.

[waterwolf121]

@ThePhantomSafetyPin

Yeah, it can do it and I've learned it, I just always used Forked F when I was learning, so I kinda got used to it :P But when it's easier to use regular F, I do :)

I'll start trying to do it :D

[WebloWebloid]

Good job!
