[petster13]

You're doing great ^^ just a bit minor stuff to correct but awesome overall.

[Senaku007]

[kylebossify]

I was expecting a well built, green Namekian singing coldplay.. guess I was wrong..

[lunatredecim]

@kylebossify Great...now I want you to ask TFS to make that video

Angel15793. I honestly don't believe you. You should know how to spell BARI SAXOPHONE. If you don't know "Bari" is short for baritone...

[sunna97lif]

[LenaMagMusik]

I think it's not very good. that does not sound so nice and the sounds are not played clean

[Bozidar57]

Very good.I know Bumblebee on Piccolo flute.

[chrissysmilieface]

hi, im in marching band and currently play the flute and will be soon playing piccolo. i was wondering if that pecific tipe of piccolo is good for marching? also i tink you did a great job!

[Fleutjepiepen]

Hello, nice video, good idea!

However, eighth (your right) on your hands ... fast runs require a loose hand. Holding the piccolo as you would hold a tennis ball (hand hole) ... Good luck, Greetings from Hamburg-Germany

[browniedog1999]

snapping is stupid

[SuperMadAdam]

its like your staring at us

[Xx2PoisonKissesxX]

I want a piccolo so bad. I've been playing flute for about 8 years now and I've never tried playing the piccolo. You're really good and also one of the first guys I've seen on youtube play piccolo. :)

[Piccflutelover76]

You need to more air into the piccolo and sit up straight! What type of piccolo is that? Was it expensive?

[jacobskd]

Well, it helps if you sit up straight. Next, make the Piccolo at a 90 degree angle to your mouth. Also, make sure your air is being directly blown into the hole. Finally, make sure you put more air into it~!

[kevin28115]

put more air into the piccolo :D

alot of the air is being wasted. :D

I'm working on that. :D it will also increase your tone dramatically :)

[sesshylover24]

do you have an olds?

[lunatredecim]

@Jyerobertjamesmusic Heh, yeah. And at the time of recording, I had been playing flute for about ten years and piccolo for less than a month. All good fun :)

[Kates1621AVERAGE]

I'm a flute player from a prestigious HS band... Needs work on tone, but I can see you know what you're doing... Me, I'm not as fond of piccolos as flutes b/c I had to use a crappy one a few years ago... Have you tried playing a fife? It might work better for you... Pics are sooo nasty to tune...!

[lunatredecim]

@Kates1621AVERAGE I came from a high school with barely a music program, and go to a college with no music degree :p Yeah, my tone isn't the best, but granted, this video was recorded during the first year of ever playing picc. And fife sounds good; I just don't have access to one x.x Know anywhere that has them for cheap?

[KrissyAnn448]

we played this in 7th grade xD i sight read stars and stripes forever on piccolo for tryout for marching piccolo...got most of it...been playing picc for almost a year now and flute for almost 4 years 

[lunatredecim]

@KrissyAnn448 Cool, keep it up! At the time of recording (back in what, 2008?), I had been playing flute for about ten years and piccolo for one month :p

[KrissyAnn448]

@lunatredecim Yeah i got my picc end of last yr....and 10 years?!?!! oh my geez....ive been playing for 4....made texas state though!!!!1 xDDDD

[kelseygirlpaige13]

i play the flute.

i really want to switch to piccolo,

but i suck. :3

you're amazing though.

jealously right here! :)

[sesshylover24]

how much diffrent is the Piccolo than the flute? cuz i play flute and i have a piccolo that is getting repaded and diffrents springs all that and i want to know how much diffrent the fingerings are

[lunatredecim]

@sesshylover24 The fingerings are the same. It's awesome like that!

[sesshylover24]

@lunatredecim awsome! thanks so much i love your piccolo playing :D

[sesshylover24]

@lunatredecim i just got mine fixed and i can play it now thanks for the heads up on the fingering THE PICCOLO IS THE BEST INSTRUMENT!

[starburstfunky]

i would love you if you sent me the notes ^___^ :DD

[17andersondk]

i play flute trumpet clarinet baritone tuba saxophone piano percussion and piccolo and i play that all the time

[lunatredecim]

@17andersondk Nice! You should record a video of playing all the instruments doing a song!

[italiantuna28]

@17andersondk im guesing you play flute to then

[cbluekate]

and i thought flute sounds terrible.. BUT piccolo is bader

[cbluekate]

and i thought flute sounds terrible.. BUT piccolo is bader 

[Mailie53]

oh wow that sounds more like a flute

[MadHatterGeek]

This is pretty good a bit airy at parts but not bad considering piccolo is one of the harder wind instruments. I've played flute for like 2 years now and I just ordered a piccolo, so I'll start playing it in couple of weeks.

[lunatredecim]

@MadHatterGeek Yeah, picc is kinda rough. At the time of recording, I had been playing picc for less than a month (our marching band switched from flute/picc mix in 2007 to all piccs in '08 onward)

[Bexster135]

:O this is really good, i find it hard to play high notes on the piccolo :P do you play the flute too? :)

[lunatredecim]

@Bexster135 Yep! Flute is my primary instrument; I had been playing it for ten years as of when the video was recorded, but piccolo only two weeks :p

[blakcness1]

hah i play the piano the clarinet the oboe the saxophone and the percussion and i play viva la vida on all of them

[lunatredecim]

@blakcness1 You should record yourself playing the song on all instruments and layer them together! :D

[KBRocksful]

UGH

[MarikoManga]

The funny thing is that I'm loads better on the piccolo than the flute. But that was really good!

[Mathusic]

It's nice. But rhythm is wrong, it's not very good.

[Matsuilunar]

lawl u rush too often

[Crishaana]

Is the piccolo played the same way as the alto flute ?

[lunatredecim]

@Crishaana Dunno, I've never played an alto flute! I want to though!

[rednamrahc]

@Crishaana they all require a different approach, for example i am very good at playing low notes on my flute so playing a bass flute was really easy for me but though my high notes come out fine its harder for me so i have trouble playing the piccolo

[Msflutenerd302]

@Crishaana its the same fingerings, just a different mouthpiece a even though its same concept way different blowing

[mzwayana]

try not to breath alot and get a better tone but you did pretty good.the pic is a pretty challenging instrument.

[Evbmaster101]

You have pretty good tone. I'm jealous, I play flute and I've played piccolo for marching and for certain concert pieces, and I have issues with tone and tuning. I'm always ridiculously sharp! :D

[oldemar10]

Horrível cara... uahuahuahu

[Koyko200]

You need some help with low notes. A solid metal piccolo would do bett er for you.

[lunatredecim]

@Koyko200 I agree. The school provides only that kind of piccolo though, and I don't have the money for a metal one.

[Koyko200]

@lunatredecim

I understand. My metal one came as a gift. The one school provides is more for concert bands in my option. :\

[Koyko200]

@lunatredecim

Ah, when u get a chance try it with a solid silver one.

[fattyman149]

piccolo is so slick, that's what i like about it.

[lunaglory09]

i play the flute and the piccolo is tiny compared to it!

[XPsico]

amazing face

[XPsico]

whats this SHIT?

[jazqu]

great job

[kateroselover]

I have play flute for 8 years and piccolo for marching band. this made laugh awesome!!

[hannahbanana678]

great job!! a little airy in the beginning and in a few of the higher notes though but thats hard not to do on piccolo! but it was really good! i play flute and piccolo as well and am learning this song...this helped a lot to hear you play! 2 thumbs up lol :)

[ZabrasRock]

Ive been playing the flute for almost a year and can hardly even make a sound with a piccilo! Nice job!

[kevin28115]

@ZabrasRock i start piccolo after 4 years of flute! it took me about 1 month to get use to it and another year to finally able to play it with a good tone.

[ZabrasRock]

@kevin28115 yea its some pretty tricky stuff

[AutoCon23]

Flute shape,Clarinet Color

[swizsticks]

dude...this sucks D:. im wayyyyy better

[TwoBandGeeks]

omg i want the sheet music!!

[4Blackrose48]

im hoping 2 play piccolo soon from my lessions teacher sooo well we played dis in our concert a few weeks ago (honor band only btw is top band) im 3rd chair and ya i agree tho it iz airy

[ScientificoPiano]

It's a little airy, particularly on the upper staff and notes right above the staff. Make the whole tighter when you blow. If you jaws/cheeks don't hurt, then you're not doing it right.

[soccergirl2135]

I think it's great

[mmcoopstar]

may i ask what piccolo u play on....by the way cool playing.

[crazyflutist0804]

Gotta agree with the other comments regarding tightening the embouchure...that'll really help with the breathiness especially in the lower notes. You can also try practicing playing octaves using *just* the head joint alone. On either flute or pic it really makes a difference in the embouchure and learning just how to direct the airflow. I was amazed at the difference in tone after I tried doing this.

[xXAphrodite2014Xx]

watch the dynamics at the end, and your a bit airy. but other than that, pretty good.

[YuffieTheWolf]

I agree. It'll really help!! :D You're grace notes weren't really coming out that great either... but I think the embouchure tightening thing will help with that.

[Fluteperson01]

I agree tighen it up but other wise your just airy that will take it up trying being more clearer with you tongeing

[oohdahloli7]

tighten up your embouchure!!!!!! that'll take care of the airy sound and the non-speaking notes.

i play both flute and picc btw.

[edt22210159]

pretty good

[burikurimuri]

fantastic job! flute is much easier, but you managed to do wonderfully on the piccolo!

[gellinfroggy04]

heyy do you know where i can get the sheet music for this i wanna learn to play it on my piccolo!!!!!!

[alveana14]

awesome :)

[zexionluver098734]

ok,blow more air on the quarter notes

[xXHobbesXx]

Try and clean up your tone on shorter notes, especially lower notes ( I always struggle with those too).

As a Coldplay and picc player I say good job. :)

[lunatredecim]

Yeah, I should re-record this on flute

[ttay1122]

omg

todays teenagers learning a cultured instrument other then the guitar, piano, or drums...

...

jesus is coming

[ReMeMbErThEeLvEs2011]

what kind of piccolo do you play???

[KelseyPaige123]

awesome i wanna swich to piccolo when i get in high school right now i'm playing flute and u r really awesome at playing!!!!!

[emailgirl95]

I started playing the piccolo recently, now I play both in school band

[rubberducky370]

cool.. im trying to learn that on my flute

[fredyfernando90]

hey... do you have the notes to play it on a flute?, I would very much appreciate it. ;)

[atxnena]

D:

Practice!

[Owlsbreath]

Smaller embouchure. I use to have that problem. Work with the head joint. Smaller embouchure because it sounds airy. So yeah. ^_^

[pinpongpin]

can u tell me the notes please or send me the music?

[kalana1993]

haha I freaking suck at piccolo,I played it last year for pep band and my tone on low notes sucked. Flute is much better for me :)

p.s. You didn't do too bad, just you might want to roll your head joint out a little bit.

[Azitpro]

thats what i call talent!!!

[196919711996chon]

beautiful.........

[Slugula]

Wow, I thought the beginning was kind of off so I was like wow man this is going to suck. But it got SO much better. This is truly a beautiful cover.

[lunatredecim]

Yeah, the piccolo does not make a very good rhythm instrument.

[TeenGoku1988]

I <3 viva la vida. Im better at flute too! but i played piccolo about a year in high school but the rest of the time i was on flute.
