[katieisaninja96]

I LOVE HIS FLUTE!!

[higgeldypiggeldy1]

his technique with his fingers is amazing. wish i was that good

[tomtheflutist]

Tempo?

[mikeymike1317]

james galway was onced asked if he how good a "flautist" he was. His answer? " I've never flauted anything in my life.....i'm a fluter...simple!!!! I think that says it all. What a guy what a fluter. Just jaw droppingly gifted.

[HoppitySquirrelz88]

Talk about FLYING fingers!!!! And a gold flute?

[ET9545]

no words :O



[Deere1270E]

[MaddogC96]

[locococoa96]

wow.

[pierox1224]

Lol is it just me or does he appear to be wearing bee cuff links? But amazing. It's my life goal to be able to play that song.

[wimpykid131]

Male with flute > Female with Flute

[HoppitySquirrelz88]

@wimpykid131 Female with Flute > Male with flute

[halamama786]

Omg what an amazong pianist.

[fuckrsingh]

I play this on recorder flute... Confused on whether should upload it or not... Maybe because it doesn't sound like it does in this video...

[xXxTalkingxTurtlexXx]

Holy classical music!

[JonnyJones324]

@xXxTalkingxTurtlexXx Just to put this out there, Flight of the Bumblebee is not a classical piece it's a Romantic/Nationalistic piece..

[Fictionheart]

this is intense... I haven't thie slightest clue how to move my fingers this quickly. KEEP BEING AWESOME and playing my favourite classic well.

[KireiKittyGirlLissa]

Teachers tell me to hold my flute up level and sit with good posture. I told my teacher that James Galway doesn't play with his flute level. He told me I could hold my flute like him if I could play like him. Until that day, I need all the help I can get.

[AbigalFerris]

@KireiKittyGirlLissa

actually your lips/mouth is supposed to be align with your embouchure so to play sideways you must TILT your head sideways so its still even- and thats what he is doing

[juggalo3512]

truely inspiring i am a flute player myslef and im a guy!

[kaestkat000]

i love how his facial expression doesn't even make it look hard or even that he's playing a flute...amazing.

[IAMMATSUDA]

@ShakiraElizabeth 45 seconds? really? are you exaggerating, because I'm not saying its impossible, but most flute players (even good ones) can't hold it that long. Are you sure your counting actual seconds? On a metronome seconds are at 60.

[MrFabiossoares]

fantástico!!!

[Amor4everz]

I am a flute player, and I want to become a professional...you are truly inspiring!!!! :D

[SonnyGurl101]

you are truly amazing i am a flute player and i know i will never be as good as you but you are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShakiraElizabeth]

Anyone who doesn't think flute's take a lot of air...needs serious help. I can only hold a high c 45 seconds...So if you ever see a flute player making facial expressions, haha, they mean it!!!

[Kidsgrove49]

It's supposed to be fast, but that was too fast. He had to fudge it through 0:49 to 0:51.

[SUBSOYEAH]

He really crushes his 32nd notes

[musicismysoul2000]

tHiS gUY Is siMPLy AMAZInG. beSt fLUtE PLAYeR OF HIS Age (:

[baby03102000]

Yeah who needs oxygen? :)

[EwokVengeance]

He must be great at guitar hero

[TheRachmaninofflover]

Who needs breathing?

[DrewDrawDrewn]

so this is what its called

[913155584]

its obviously his beard that makes him play so good

[DrummerB0y253]

He is an undercover Asian.



[JasmineU2]

Best flute player alive. You sir, amaze me every time ;)

[LilyRainbowshine]

THE POWER OF THE STACHE. o.o

[zaneguitar]

I have a friend in marching band with me that's 15 and can play this on flute :)

[UzumakiMarina]

He makes it look effortless... Grrrrrrr :/

[jasbookworm]

two words: holy crap!

[SuperBandnerd13]

That flute is gorgeous and it matches your playing

[zzryan1029zz]

woah!!



[000004653]

he doe not breath??

[greenhusky78]

I'm a flute player and I love this man! I love it how he doesn't take a breath that often and to believe that playing a flute takes way more air then a tuba,trombone,etc. Because the air escapes everywhere I love it!

[levicrossdechantel]

you can't even hear him puffing of inhaling for air. O____O srsly? are you human?

[frozenme0214]

nice :D

[dave98p]

im fourteen and ive been playing my flute for four year and i cant even play the first measure of that thing

[WorldofGino]

I wonder how old he was when he started playing flute

[MsBritish101]

@WorldofGino he was 9. he learned from his uncle. pshh i'm not obsessed or anything.

[zzryan1029zz]

hello

[wendytan128]

[liptontbag1591]

I am a 13 year old male flutist, I've been playing for 3 yrs and I LOVE James Galway!!!! Even though I'm a jazz player, I still love classical.

[frozenme0214]

[WorldofGino]

It's like he plays the entire thing in one breath!

[ThePoopChunks]

[MsHellakitty]

[snowboardkitten]

I am a student of his student and he still mesmerized me

[Pichipichigirl12]

Imagine playing this on the trombone! XD That's what i play.

[FranzGregor]

Why is it in every good video, there's always a handful of viewers who still insist on hitting the dislike button.

[prittyandpink32]

[XHaemoXTwinsX]

[CowzRawkMySox5]

[gemiemma]

@VerretaMeonGuu In other words, like 10 seconds into the song, haah :b

[YoungFlutest]

[msbieberfever221]

AQUALUNG

[Moradiim]

The flute god, right here! I am a male flute too, that much similarity to this god is enough for me!

[Mrswebkinzlover99]

This is my 2nd year playing and i've never played something that fast and amazing! Thumbs up

[kittyaggirl123]

amazing i cant make a sound on my flute:(

[annamillenaar]

I love it so much!

[mutilover314]

for some reason, i have a feeling that the person on the piano is having a harder time than james galway...

[Sonserf369]

If you can play this, you can consider yourself :

A) A person with enormous lungs

B) A Flute God

[lonogugeadult]

Police often question him, just because they find him interesting.

His personality is so magnetic, he is unable to carry credit cards.

If he were to mail a letter without postage, it would still get there.

He lives vicariously through himself.

He is the most interesting man in the world.

[shellyredrose]

cool!

[oldwaylonfan]

I have heard my wife match this. Although, she did play flute and piccalo in the U.S. Army band for 9 years.

[melcrose]

Saw him in concert in Omaha in about 86, after the first set he threw his flute about 20 feet up in the air (gold beasty flute) and every flutist in the hall sucked air in surprise... really funny.

[dennyyoung215]

..... *speechless* (@_@)

[5dogdemons]

the man whith the gold flute! thats him sir james galway!!

[dontpanicpal101]

That flutes worth more than my house.

[CebuMoose7]

thats a cool looking flute

[ViviDeathSkater]

piece of cake

[smoshaddict07]

ahh its a gold flute!!!!

[4321Rocket]

Those who dislike it play a different instrument

[abiiirocks]

If I could play this I'd be so happy o.o

[kiwii008]

HOW can 25 people dislike this??!!?!?

[Tokio12Hotellover]

OMG IM BEGGINER FLUTE AND I CANT EVEN DI THE FIRST NOTE YET!!

[CFG1995]

That is amazing. It makes me proud to play the flute.

[SuperCuteface]

@CFG1995 I SO AGREE!!! lol my second year as a flute player :D

[jooshapotamus]

canadian brass beat you, hehehe

[moviegal3456]

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

O.o. Lol I thought I was pretty close to being able play this... but... Mr. Galway you are insane....

[divinaBiondina]

hes wonderful musician... cuz of people like him im proud to be flutist :) p.s. 25 dislikes? wtf?

[celtic4ever18]

this man is a robot not Human

[s129779]

@celtic4ever18 you are an idiot who doesn't know shit about music and doesn't understand how hard it is to relax on a piece like this! He has to be stiff to get the air out. Duh.

[celtic4ever18]

@s129779 You Bastard !!!!!  i play By Ear and i play Fine

[andresj1997]

hes a beast cause hes a guy

[freewiththealmighty]

i have tried to play this on my flute and i can play the first note and the last note. Yay Me!!

[celtic4ever18]

@freewiththealmighty yeah its too hard i play my own version dont care if it sucks

[sinabey]

if i ever tried to play this piece, i would probably end up with broken fingers and a deflated pair of lungs.

[lozzycat99]

@sinabey I love you for that comment

[GarciaVillegas6]

OMFG!

O.O

is de real God from flute

[murfleblurg]

That pretty much sucked. There was no bumblebee in that anywhere, no floating hum, just a spray of notes with no aim or purpose other than arriving at the next note in time. And there were quite few notes that failed to show up at all.

[confoozled3737]

@murfleblurg You should probably reconsider your perspective on music as a whole if you couldn't find any sort of value in this. I feel pity for you and your lack of vision.

[crazysocks914]

X_________X SUCH A SHINY FLUTE!!!!! that was really awesome.........i really really really really really really really really wanna learn to play that....i only know the first four notes haha...XD

[ninjalove4ever10113]

does he ever freakin breath

[Limjim7]

The flute is too down.. :/

[GGbreizh]

@Mr1UPshroom What is music to you ?

[5rakchat]

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­Eee

[laliluiloveyou1]

Sorry, does anyone know which version this is ? and which publisher ?

Thanks :)

Its amaziiiiiinnnggggg !!! ♥

[Jezebel1388]

wow. he makes it look so easy. his fingers just float over those keys.

[AleatoryAmeliorate]

If I didn't know better it'd seem like he played that in just one breath.

[chickent1181]

I'm learning how to play this on the flute.

I can play it! Just like idk 100 times slower.

[PXssss]

That so flyyyy.

[TheClarinetist2009]

i love how he takes 2 breaths out of this whole thing

[TheLinkCourtet2]

@TheClarinetist2009 btw clarinets own

[TheClarinetist2009]

@TheLinkCourtet2 ikr

[queenrei34]

Does this man breathe?!?!?! o_o! He's absolutely amazing...

[simplegifts91]

Am I the only one who sees steam coming out his ears at 0:29??

[Sozzie16MJ]

FLUTE NINJA.

[blizzdizzl2323]

ha what if he messed up the last note

[123461a]

OH MY GOSH !

He is my role model

[lilmilyo]

he's the grandfather, and now Pahud and Dufour are the fathers.

[XShadowMuncherX]

Where does he hide all that air!?

[GPGS92]

@XShadowMuncherX I'm not sure, but I think he uses the circular breathing technique.

[chickent1181]

I'm trying to learn this song on the flute.

I can play it............very very very slow compared to this....

[WHeatiesBoXx]

:D galway taught my flute teacher. who is surprisingly asian o.o

[xXxJoaninhaxXx]

[FullMetalFerret6]

[elenavaso]

[65736274735645643756]

[Madzii732]
