  • WAIT! YOUR USERNAME! I LOVE FRINDLE!

  • Thank you very much, I don't know what else to say, thank you.

  • awesome, your lessons are great

  • My Dad loved playing the Native American flute. He passed away a month ago and I took one of his many flutes as a keepsake. I have been staring at it and watching him on video playing Silent Night (my favorite) and decided I wanted to learn how to play that song on his flute. I picked it up a few times to a lot of emotion and squeeks. After watching your video I have hope I will be able to play Silent Night in the future and hopefully he can hear it in heaven. Thanks for the great tutorial!

  • I really like my JT I got awhile ago, hopefully soon i'll be able to do more than progressions, thanks for the instruction!

  • Mine has 5 holes and one hole really far from the others. So it's impossible to play all 6 holes at a time, and the 6th doesn't do anything. Also, you blow into a big hole, it's not carved, I believe it might be a earlier design.

  • great instructional video! i found a native american flute at a thrift store really cheap, so i grabbed it without a second thought, as i have wanted one for a long time! i would love to learn to play, it is such a great instrument. i however, have a problem with my fingers being too skinny to cover the holes.

  • TEACH SOME MELODY

  • @tradecycles Your welcome. RG

  • Hello. I have dearly wanted a Native american Flute for a long, long time. I got one today! I play orchestral flute and many types of whistles, but this one is very special and very beautiful, it's only a cheap one but sounds divine and I love it. Thank you so much for your very helpful video. It is different to play than all my other whistles and flutes and I am very grateful for your help.

    Please, please post some more instructions soon :O)

  • Thank you so much!! I got my flute today, and I'm very happy to have found your lesson! :)

    

  • Great Video. What "key" flute are you playing?? Where are the other instructional videos Part 2,3 etc??

  • Thank you so much!!! I just bought my first flute and this video has been very helpful!!

  • Thank you. Your lesson is the best for beginners I have found on youTube. You teach the flute with the newbie in mind. I will be practicing my scales all day and night! Thank you.

  • This video really helped me i have to play a flute for a native play im invovled in... Im so excited ! Thank you for the great video

  • LoneGranger - thank you, I will be exploring this further.

  • Thank you for this video...........i appreciate the time you took. i feel there is still hope for me yet!

  • What would it sound like if you DIDN'T cover the third hole from the top????

  • Just a opinion-there is no easy flute.People have developed own musical styles for centuries.A flageolet type like NAF is the easiest,if focusing on producing sound.You blow into it then you get notes,not like Ney or Shakuhachi which requires years for good tones.But if you want to play even flageolet on certain style,it's not simple,as you need serious practice for playing Irish on whistle.NAF surely had more musical details which have been destroyed by the discrimination against Indians.Pity.

  • Thank you very much for this video. I have bought a native american flute recently and didn't know how to use it. Now I know and I will practise! Thank you again. Mitakuye Oyasin.

  • I love this and appreciate it very much... where can I find more? part 2?

  • what note/key is the flute your using? F F# G ect; My husband is wanting to learn and I am thinking of purchsing a flute for him as a gift~

  • where do u get theses?

  • Hi.

    Although I don't play the NAF now, I believe I have a bit of musical sense. I want to buy one and play one, but aside from the musical aspect of it, I want to use it in spiritual relaxation. Therefore, I want to buy/play one in the lower register. Which key/style should I buy? My sense tells me that the longer, larger ones would serve me well. Thanks in advance for the information.

  • That was great i learn a lot ill practice that song when iam in school Thank you so much :D ^+_+^

  • Your video is a great launching point when you are trying to learn this lovely instrument. I just came back from hiking in America and I purchased my first flute in California. It's terrible (only 25 us dollars) but still is beautiful to the ears. When I arrived back in Scotland, my mates and I can't get enough of playing the flute. Thank you so much for the video. The Native American cultures of the Americas are truly bewitching. We admire them from all the way over in Scotland. Thanks again :D

  • Thank you for your teaching, beautiful xxxx

  • Native american flute is relaxing

  • You are a great teacher. Thank you so much for providing this. While I still get squeaks I am *slowly* learning to do what you said.

    Thanks again. This is a great instrument for meditation and putting my mind at peace.

  • Nice video! Hope you make more of them, i will order myself a flute now from the page you said first in the vid :)

  • I bought my very first flute today and am very excited to start playing. Your video has been most helpful. Thank you for you help with my journey.

  • Thank you for sharing this! I am considering learning to play the native american flute and this video has been so helpful!

  • Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I bought my first Native American flute a few weeks ago. I wait until everyone leaves the house before I practice, your video has taught me so much..Thanks so much for sharing your video. Have a wonderful day :)

  • your comment makes me very happy! Congrats on your flute journey. We all started not yet wanting others to hear us play. you'll share your music with others someday and it will bring them such joy. RG

  • It's like a recorder.

  • thanks sps. there are quite a few differences between a native american flute and a recorder. I encourage you to get a native american flute and try it I think you'll enjoy the mellow sound. Certainly doesn't have the range and scale or recorders but a beautiful sound nonetheless.
