Sadness and Sorrow Tutorial

[godguy2311]

Meh Sister Gots an POTATOE OCARINA!!!

[Muttsist]

YES i just got my baby dragon tooth ocarina today. After 3 hours of annoying my brother i can finally play one of my most favorite songs from naruto! Dude you are awesome. Do you have to tabs for BLUE BIRD......thats my next and more difficult goal.

[SuperSayinBoots]

It's hard when all notes are not on screen(Ex: 8-9) and there is no break to move your eyes, you get very out of tune... Could you please redo this with all notes on screen?

[SuperSayinBoots]

do ivan's theme (a little friendship) on ocarina please!

[xX4NIC8Xx]

do more tutorials for ocarinas with 6 holes please *.*

[xXlifeannihilaterXx]

what did that meen when the tab turned green?



[gokusux323]

slower version?

[nanospartan]

can you do it on 6 hole ocarina please

[ocarinaplaya]

@nanospartan sure. just hit "play" and ta-da!

unless you mean 6 hole sweet potato, in that case i can't help ya.

[TyrantOfSyberia]

@nanospartan Same thing. Just keep the holes on the bottom covered the whole time.

[yebin96]

when you breath, should it be one continuos breath ori dk. ;A; im a beginner

[ocarinaplaya]

@yebin96 I've learned a lot since playing ocarina and this vid is an example of how not to play actually. I was blowing continually instead of tonguing the notes with a slight "tu tu" effect to separate notes. If you blow continually, it's called a slur.

[Frankiegirl2020]

@ocarinaplaya A slur is good for some songs not so good for others though. People can still learn a lot from this video though, and I for one appreciated the time you've put into it. :)

[Xena111Vit111]

This Was EXTREMLY helpful when i got my new ocarina,its a much more beautiful ocarina than the plastic twelve hole one,its a SongBird ocarina.:) this really helped me.

[goldengreaser]

I'm using Smule Ocreina on Ipod, what key should I use?

[ocarinaplaya]

@goldengreaser my ocarina in this vid is tuned to B flat

[mason61820]

thank you that was extremely helpfull

[97dusk]

Very good!

The first three notes didn't match with my ocarina very well but the rest did for some reason. XD

[Echosofthemind]

Thank you for playing 6-hole, so hard to find. Could you do tabs for the Theme from Swan Lake?

[MegaSuperdave2010]

You should make a tutorial for how to play this on the ipod touch/iphone

[HakoriToshibaku]

wasted time mannnnn...... we need the notes cuz if you put this we can play it on a 6 hole ocarina but not on any other..........put the notes please.... if not i cant play it :P

[HakoriToshibaku]

i searched ocarina 12 hole and this is all i find -.-''

[Echosofthemind]

is there a video on how to read this music properly for stupid people like me?

[epiclight858]

I love this tutorial! please make more! :)

[alvin4351]

now i just need an ocarina!

[hardyzfan253]

despair, a naruto song

[w3own]

where is this song from?

[irsushiesama]

@w3own

Its from Naruto

[yuzukirules]

i wrote this down and now i play it perfectly but i gotta say ur creathing is not exatly good in this song

[ocarinaplaya]

@yuzukirules No, it's not. but this is the first ever video i uploaded to youtube, so i think i can use "i didn't know how to breath right" as an excuse :D. I'm more worried if the notes i made were accurate... compared to the 12 hole version.

[jtjulia2121]

hopefully this works on 5 hold sweet potato

if it doesn't.....

well gosh darnit I'm using this tab anyway

it's awesome ^^

[Tas1507]

huimmm.... this dosnt sound right, but i shall try it and tweak it to my likeing^^

[Tikku4ever]

I normally wouldn't make a request, but I have a five hole Songbird Sweet Potato ocarina, and I've been dying to learn how to play Rose of May (Also known as Loss of Me) from final fantasy IX. If you could do a tutorial I would forever be in your debt sir.

[EpionZX]

wow thxx i only have a four hole ocarina Ö

[Shikirimaru]

lugia's song on a twelve hole please :D

[Warrior536]

Do you still have the pictures used for the video? Could you send them to me please? Well, only 1 of each group of note please.

[ocarinaplaya]

pictures? i don't use pictures, i animate this stuff the same way i animate my cartoons

[Warrior536]

oh...I though those were pictures you photoshopped to put the red dots and putted togheter in moviemaker... sorry then.

[ocarinaplaya]

no worries, i don't want to give the impression that i bit your head off. i can't type right sometimes. i use Macromedia Flash 8 pro.

[irsushiesama]

Is it possible to get the tabs for this?

[ocarinaplaya]

i think i made tabs but i'm not sure... i'll post a link if i find it

[irsushiesama]

thanks! :)

[radienttwilight]

whats with the green hole on 0:48 ?

[Kotasavu]

@radienttwilight Its that it comes again...

[radienttwilight]

OOoOOOo  ;P ....thanks :D

[azn6190]

It sounds so off, but what are you gonna do, doesn't have that much holes to have the right sound.

[ocarinaplaya]

right you are. especially since i got this thing from a third-rate renaissance faire :P

[toniundeva]

das klingt wie so ein sterbendes tier XD

[ocarinaplaya]

uuuumm.... what?

[toniundeva]

@ocarinaplaya

oh please oh please forgive me sounds like a dying animal, I've said XD but it was just fun

[ocarinaplaya]

.... :D

[toniundeva]

please forgive

[myFishDROWned95]

thats german, he said it sounds gay, lol nah jks i dont understand german i only can tell by the spelling

[ocarinaplaya]

he said it sounds like a dying animal...and i'd probably agree :P

[11supergirl2008]

I copy this down on a paper :D

[HealingTrout2]

Hey is it posible for u to send me that sheet music?

[kakashi15413]

its a little bit too fast

[HerrValo]

I don't know how to play this. When the dots getting red, must i do my finger off the hole ? or hammer it on?

and are then the other holes open or close?

Sorry for my bad english, i'm german ;)

[ocarinaplaya]

the red means to hammer your fingers on the holes. There are 2 holes on bottom that are covered until instructed otherwise.

and i commend you for even trying to learn english, i hear its a hard language to learn since it mixes alot of other languages.

[DeathXMetalXCraze]

what was the green dot for?

[massieko]

I don't know why, maybe because I almost never use tabs, but everytime I check yours out I get mixed up from what holes you cover compared to mine because you don't define a top or bottom of mouth piece or different sized holes:p

It's just me, maybe I'm dyslexic I dunno...

[JustinAHan]

sounds great dude what kind of ocarina was that, i get its a pendant but a tenor, soprano, alto???

[ocarinaplaya]

honestly, i got it from a private ocarina maker, but if i were to hazard a guess... it's a tenor.

[justin14200]

Yeah, Ocarinaplaya. I just played it on a saprano (that's not it) Then I played it on my twelve hole. It sounded the same. It has to be an alto to clear that up. Also, nice vid! I want to help you out and tell you that if you take of the right button for half a second before you hit the first note on the slide at 19 seconds it sounds really nice. It sounds like it does when they play it on Naruto. Hope that helps! =)

[master00d]

cool great work 5/5

[nebraskee]

now all I need is a video like this for the song of storms.. it's taking me forever to get it down.

[ocarinaplaya]

i'm thinking of doin a song of storms tutorial, but i've got to get it down before i can safely make a tutorial. (requires the fipple bend)

[darkcole]

WOOT

Exactly what I was looking for!

thanks!

[manou4445]

what is that instrument its bizz.

wow

[quick153]

its an english oendant style ocarina

[RedDiamond128]

what was the green note

[AtlantisChildren]

That note was probably green because it was played twice so he turned the dot green to draw attention to it rather than replicating the entire circle. Otherwise it could be easy to miss it or ride it off as a mistake. //-^

[dieternickel]

0:46

what is that green dot? :S

[ocarinaplaya]

seeing as this is the very first video i made, it's unrefined as compared to the others. I meant the green to be an indicator for you to play that note twice.

[Collete13]

How much money costs an ocarina?

It's too expensive? ¬¬

[ocarinaplaya]

i got 2 12 hole tenor ones for $132. all depends where you get them. They don't pay me, so I don't advertise.

[whitespott]

lol they don't pay docjazz ether and advertises

[whitespott]

sorry, i meant he advertises them

[mimirusign]

Actually they do. =P DocJazz works for STL.

[ocarinaplaya]

seriously?

[tazs1995]

how about brothes for the 4 hole

[Hilow124]

SLOW it down. like make a full speed version then a simplified one.I couldn't follow.

[tazs1995]

brothers from fullmetal alchemist

[FireGrandNova]

Nice! I play ocarina, and the sound is excelant! Keep it up.

[cenamania0001]

Can you post a Thomas the Tank Engine tutorial for my cousins and a Metal Gear Solid tutorial for me?

[MarioAIII]

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!! I absolutely love this song . . .

[karmen230]

awsome!!when I tried it it was perfect

[xG4B0x]

this sucks

[ocarinaplaya]

it's hard for note accuracy on 6 hole ocarinas. Besides, if you cannot or do not play ocarinas, then you really have no say so on this vid

[tkdyo]

very well done.  It sounds perfect when I play it on mine.

[fallenforgc]

What the hell is that?

[thonyleeawsome]

time: 47 seconds

what does the green mean? is there 4 holes on top and 2 on bottom? just wanting to know cuz ima buy one. please reply back

[ocarinaplaya]

green meant that it was played twice.

[impalasoccer111]

this was perfict thanks

[mouseboy1000]

kool that would be great if oyu do just post im subscribed :P

[mouseboy1000]

is it possible you can do a tutorial of this for a 9 hole ?

[ocarinaplaya]

i don't have a nine hole ocarina...but I may be able to find a way to do a video.

[kukomax]

please make more videos like this one

[ocarinaplaya]

Thank you, If you have a request just let me know. I noticed a lack of ocarina tutorials so I decided, "What the hell."

[wariokid244]

ooh do one of how to do whistlestop

[ocarinaplaya]

whats a whistlestop?

[wariokid244]

okay look Myung!983 and watch her video that says moonsyne's picture tab challenge #1 but don't worry the challenge is over...

[jchf1]

dude this video is what is needed in youtube !!!!! good job, I like it.

I have 24 hours with my first ocarina, is a pendant ocarina so I was looking for somthing like youre video, because in internet theres not much tabs for ocarina.
