Greensleeves Theremin

[foreverolf]

hey very brave, but it seems to be a very difficult instrument. so practice more before you post. You shouldn't let a flawed execution defame your intentions.

[BirdOfParadise777]

OMG! I totally love it! That's the way my mind works! LOL :D

I sooooooo can't wait to get one of these!

Actually, I want to design my own;)

Thank you for the best video I have seen tonight! :)

BOP

[MrsAdiee]

Ufo sound :D

[WHYNOTTTTTTyeah]

if i wasn't stoned right now...dont think i would have watched that whole fuckin thing

[UnrelatedNonsense]

ALIEN INVASION!!!!

[Taylor110591]

Staring into my soul.... :(

[GHcool]

Milhouse plays Greensleeves on the theremin in a recent episode of "The Simpsons."

[brudswick]

not the smoothest, but it IS a theremin after all. besides that whine its very well performed. brava

[StarbrockEagleslam]

You're a hero.

[skipplet]

good luck with those brain tumors...

[NevinJarek]

lol, funny

[dropandlongD]

I didn't even know this instrument existed... friggin hilarious

[Goatboy44spl]

Sounds like a synthesizer bagging a musical saw!

[idigmusicjohn]

Brain Cancer!

[songpidgeon]

Oh! This is great! LoL Loved it when u began using ur head hahahahaha awesome

XxSarah

[LadyVIolence]

lmfao I love when these vids look like the person is humming the tune

[benito4244]

It was better with the head than normal!! :P

[laptinek1138]

You've been playing for less than a month and you're this good? Awesome!

[goombapatrol054]

nice work!

[cr1m1n4lb0y]

Its looks like a dragonfly.

[Doulhalt]

Lol, what a lovely alien christmas. The head part made me laugh.

[TyTyHeck]

HORRIBAD

[rgbk73]

Really good for someone not playing too long.

[draaaaank]

when you started playing with your head i started cracking up so hard

and when you just gave the camera a death glare and moved the theremin i think i may have shit my pants a little bit

5*

[84rod]

This takes "playing by ear" to a new level....

...sorry, couldn't resist that awful pun :P

[Lineasirentri]

Th... that's just cute xD

Also pretty cool that you did the head thing with nothin' but a straight face~

[F1231232]

that instrument just sounds like someone is humming out of tune

[conquerearth]

HAHA This was also one of the first things I did when i got my etherwave! Great fun!

[julzabro]

How long did it take to learn this? There's no sheet music I assume!!!...;)

[daichi2097]

What do you mean? There's plenty of sheet music for Greensleeves (I've got three music books that include it). That said, I think playing by ear would be easier for this.

[julzabro]

I meant that I didn't think there was sheet music for a theremin...??!! I am curious as to what that would look like!

[daichi2097]

Sheet music is sheet music - just because you play on a different instrument, the notes don't change. Sure, guitar music can be expressed in tablature, but you can use traditional sheet music too.

[ming57]

Although the theremin is more about listening and finding the notes for youself - unless you can get a note by ear, sheet music isn't much use.

[CrazyJimProof91]

thats like saying there is not sheet music for a chello...O.o

[albatros777]

Don't you know anyone who can read sheet music?

If you are experienced in playing an instrument to sheet music you can hear the notes in your head.

[mdubois1592]

If you're commenting about his being out of tune, then you're extremely ignorant. Being able to pull pitches out of your mind from just seeing a note on paper is damn near impossible to the average person. Only people who are pitch-perfect can do that. So that was an extremely stupid remark to make and you should feel bad about yourself.

[albatros777]

My comment was in response to someone else's comment about sheet music being useless for theremin.

[KanadiaVon]

@mdubois1592 I used to beable to do that... But I can't anymore. D;

[rlc682]

@mdubois1592 it would sound like shit if it was in tune so what does it matter

[iridescentgreen]

Awesome....don't get too carried away w/ vibrato, though. The head thing is crazy! You could get somewhere playing like that :P Can't believe you did it with a straight face.

[Tbonetails]

This is the COOLEST EVER!!! I want one!

[xxXcheezbobXxx]

dude, the head playing is true skill and comedy at the same time. xD

[CommanderCrisp]

FIANNLY! An instrument i can play by /facerolling!!

[choccino]

I love your ways!!

I just began to learn Theremin and my first tune to try to play is Greensleeves.

So I found you :D

Great job!

choccino from Japan

[Dan4157]

Funny video lol

Do you need any prior knowledge of music/notes to play a theremin? Does it take long to learn to play simple songs?

[grandmastatus]

this song sounds AWESOME on theremin

[jordanwarren123]

Can you play it with your butt though? That would cause ppl to piss themselves.

[jordanwarren123]

LMAO ROFL!!! :dd: d:d: d:d: :d that's fucking awsome!

[zafdawg89]

LOL!!! =D love it!! <3 5 stars.

[CaptainBillFish]

i actually laughed myself stupid when you started playing it with your head XD you sir are talented and hillarious!

[R055HP]

Imagine the reaction of a 16th century person if they heard this.

[theunusualtimes]

dude that's awesome! anyone inspired to take up playing the theremin can win one at theunusualtimes. net!

[bongolow07]

I have to agree, this is spooky sounding. Great job!

[thomizz]

you r kinda cool!

[silentblackhat]

THEREMINS ARE BAD-ASS!

[Havick1988]

its realy funny, but i have t oask how board were you when you did this?

[rippthepunk]

sounds really spooky...i like it!

[whackyt]

Not bad, a bit more practice (and this instrument takes a lot, beleive me), and we may have a future theremin master. He seems to have quite a good music ear.

[orderoftheoakmoon]

Bravo!!!!!! Well Done.

[thereminy]

funnny! splendid! wow

[Ermengarde11]

Not bad for such a short time!

[ineverfakejumps]

the head one was amazing.

[moparman04]

ha ha ha i thought he farted at 54 seconds!!

[pieceofmeat]

sounds like a freakin drunk ghost

[Ermengarde11]

LMAO!! I like it though I never saw one play with their head!!

[MaurDL]

heh, interesting instrument... not crazy about the sound that comes out of it though. Am I the only one who thinks it sounds like a cat being raped?

[zapphireee]

I think you're the only one ;)

[zapphireee]

I think you're the only one ;)

[blufire1111]

say it one more time for me, I didnt quite catch that

[fatphuck]

i think you're the only one ;)

[Matij1648]

As you get better you can make it sound better. Professionals have been known to get their Theremins to produce near-human like sounds.

[Ermengarde11]

LOL!! I like it though. Reminds me of early recordings by Edison. Eerie and otherwordly, and should be used for such purposes more often IMO. Would be nice to see what heights this instrument could be taken too.

[monkeyahh]

where do i get one of these i want one now

i could do my music gcse with it

i will be so cool!

[mutlunatic]

play a song with your feet!!

I met a Theremin player who suggested playing with other body parts to help reinforce your spacial relationship skills. You're aHEAD of the curve! (sorry, everyone else had a pun!)

[Tompskij]

Playing with your head, what a stunt :D

[sexydrummerdookie]

AMAZiNG...you are a minkia!

[sexydrummerdookie]

haeuheuhae

[kero2121]

nice work

[thamustardmayne]

aw man i want one of those dude

[dvision23]

This concept is heads above anything else I've yet seen.

[imdeanam]

Amazing! I am putting this on my blog. Wow, and a comment from Grillo himself!

[ThomasGrillo]

Ok, now that's using your head! Awesome. You get 5 stars for that one. Keep up the great works!

[HumanisticRationale]

Very Creative!! You are now the pioneer of playing the Theremin with your head. Cheers :)
