Thanks for the video, now to memorize this from watching your fingers

[theINCONVENIENCER]

I like this one bc it is easy to learn from! Thanks!!!!

[Biddy011]

Good effort, tho i noticed you start with notes DEFG it should be DEDG makes a difference try that.

[RiggerMantis]

It actually reminds me of when Picard was still learning the song. That makes it pretty cool in a way.

[GunBoTT]

very nice :3

Also this sentence i remember most:

"Seize the time, Meribor. Live now; make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again."

[TheFlutification]

this is good! dont listen to them, they're used to watching superduper famous people so much they dont know whats still good.

[HimFeeWatchVideoDem]

Holy crap! This is the Inner Light recording used in one of the TNG parodies!

[darkpyro118]

It actually is played with an Irish Tin Whistle, also called a tin flute or a penny whistle. So, definitely not the wrong instrument. Good effort man, much better than i could do. Practice a bit more though.

[AyeOkNowFuckOff]

not bad... wrong instrument though pal.

[raysondetra]

words are cheap....ignore those fools

great effort.much better than me...........

[bobbstard]

good effort and better than any of these could do

[LazzurusMan]

Try a little more pracise, and some of the notes seemed to be missing :)

[lord312]

little more practice mate

[Smurphly]

To clarify my recent post. All TRADITIONAL tin flutes are in D. They do make them in other keys though

[Smurphly]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but those are not even close to the right notes. to answer the other question all irish tin flutes are in D.

[qberazer]

sorry buts wrong

[potophan2006]

Do you have the sheet music/know where to get it by chance?I've been looking for it for some time!

[andwii]

its a tad out of tune but this is a good job

[catdogco]

What key is your flute in? I want to get one and use your video as my lesson plan! ( : Thanks!

[sarahjeanne18]

I think it's a D. My flute sounds the same.

[chansherly212]

nice, :-)

[LTDANMAN44]

man i wish I could play a flute, i have no talent for music tho :(

[lokiquasar]

sounds good. two more nice simple flute songs are the nay flute solos from LOTR and another hard to find song called Moving Clouds on the River's Surface from Crystal Chronicles.

keep playing!

[Ashandha]

I hope to one day master this song. <3 Keep up playing.

[Sambucacat]

Shumagorath!

[bulletproofKevlar]

can you post the tabs please I would love to get them

[lion40520]

you do know that this song is played with a Wooden Piccolo that's why the sound keep varying form time to time but it is still good lol

[Cayastrife]

Well, you do need to improve, but I'm sure you know that yourself. You also got some of the notes wrong (you're missing a few there); you might want to correct that looking at some other videos of the song (I'd suggest my own, but of course there are much better ones on here^^').

Try working on making it sound more like a song rather than individual notes. A bit of legato can do wonders.

Keep working, that's the only step to improvement;)

[TwinkingToby]

Watch my: "The Picard Song With Lyrics"

Nice video by the way, 5 stars ;)

[JediMasterKadin]

This is out of tune. Sorry, it's not very good.

[swissnor]

SpockRMC is right TheSilverWizard is really shit.

[swissnor]

your playing of the Tin Whistle is shit. Go and see Noverus from Switzerland to see how it is done right.

[typevx]

hey hey I figured most of it out but I'm missing the end, please remember to message me the tab when you get around to it, thanks friend

[luciomasappa77]

i think this is a very sweet tune... :) good work!

[bgsxynky]

this is part of a orchestra piece called scottish fantasy from 1880 which part i dont know i download the free sheet music to it and now have to sort thru it too find the exact part it is a very good tune

[perv8898]

Nice job! I want to learn this instrument and be able to play as well as you do. The tin whistle played beautifully can actually make me cry. You didn't cause me to shed any tears this time but keep practicing, and maybe a future post of yours will. LOL

[typevx]

hey thanks for putting this up, I too was looking for tabs for this with the penny but couldn't find it so I just started figuring it out by ear, what brand is your penny, mines just a feadog

[Spiff411]

Nice job with the flute but, the Song is in the wrong tune.

I've learned to play it myself and when i heard this it sounded way off.

GJ learning the flute though.

[qweasd89]

beautiful, ignore the other, its damn nice

[Dalbert342]

screw the assholes and doubters,man...you play better then me...encore,encore

[piratebri]

giving criticism makes people better, don't call critics assholes, when they care about helping someone to improve on their talent.

[Dalbert342]

well,calling critics assholes was a bit harsh,but sentiment still stands lol

[PETE110]

Well, played my friend well... Played keep at it.

[omegaangel]

Where can I find the sheet music for this song?

[lennceberus]

I think you did awesome! Keep up the good work, I want to hear more of this ^^

[mihawk1]

it took picard a life time to master it so dont talk shit. great job btw.

[Celticswynd]

Everyone, lay off of this guy would you? Your posting it as if he was screaching into the thing. He's obvously just still learning. I'm sure you all were at this level at one time. What I hear over here is very clear tone, very clear notes. He has stuff he can work on yes, but everyone's gotta crawl before they can walk.

[maleysnemesis]

The High note isn't quite right, but I aplaude the effort.

[LadyGildenlas]

Keep practicing you'll get better. Good work, and well done on being brave enough to post it.

[justcruzzinn]

Your trying dude, but I think the problem is with your flute...You need to buy a professional one. It is a cheapy with a cheap sound...You should have bought the one on the Star trek auction..If you would have bid $50,000 you could have won it...

[CplJoebot]

Aside from the fact that, you know, the flute does not play.

[SpockRMC]

This is a disgrace to the inner light song. You should take this vid down, worthless. Good day, Sir!

[dyrtyrice]

wow SpockRMC you're an ass. Although the playing isn't perfect at least he's trying. Keep trying I play guitar and I'm learning piano and violin, I know how frustrating and rewarding learning a new instrument can be, some people don't play music and don't understand it, so just ignore them. The ones that play and give the harshist criticisms are even worse and should be ashamed.

[lennceberus]

People learn, and I seriously DOUBT you play an instrument, cause anyone who has, would understand that people aren't perfect and it takes YEARS to perfect some songs... So good day to you, and your a COMPLETE asshole.

[SpockRMC]

I actually I've played 2 or 3 instruments over my life and I suck at them. So I don't post videos of it. Also, do you seriously think your nice little remarks will make him get better? No, people get better because of COMPLETE assholes like myself make them work harder.

[lennceberus]

You don't have to be an asshole either.

[Lothrian]

Oh dear, the moronic 14 year olds getting used to the anonimity of the internet. 

I liked, esp since there is no music around for the piece.

[BillyBughead]

Alamaran! :-)

[TheGreatKahless]

wow! you kick Picards ass at playing the flute!

but you were a little off tempo.

[shankandbrisket]

It does need a bit more work but keep at it. That episode was one of the main reasons why I picked up tin whistle over 10 years ago and I've been tooting ever since!

[veldmaat]

"a BIT more work"???

A year ago I bought a tin whistle and it could play "The Inner Light" theme after two days, and better than this guy.

[dave1884]

you know where i wanna stick that flute mate ????

[Dalbert342]

the dude needs to learn how to play,but he dose it better then me lol

[TheSilverWizard]

wow! I by no means think its excellent, but it's not that bad. sigh~

[lennceberus]

Ignore them! Your doing your best and that's all that matters, and I bet by now you are better at it!

[PainInHell]

Dont shake the whistle...

That´s not VIBRATO!!!

[brianspinkicker]

Jezuz, take some lessons pal!
