Ocarina For Beginners: Zelda's Lullaby Tutorial

[rukiaXXXichigo]

**tires to play along** **hits highest note** **passes out**

[crystaldemy9]

I can pretty much play it except the 11th note. every time I just sound like I'm murdering cats.

my house mates are not amused...

[ultrayesumes]

Mmm wish there was more of these for the other zelda songs from this person

[littlepupava]

I nearly did the first 2 notes :D I just got my ocarina. Its a plasic ocarina AC, thats all i knoww i really want to learn to play it and these really help thankk you 

[Ruri490]

@littlepupava We are the same

[lovinonthepeace]

I agree the eleventh note is difficult for me too. when i get to that point it kinda sounds like I should be playin some other note

[MrBellotrix]

Thx



[NothernLight0]

The eleventh note is very hard . >_<

[meowthchan]

the last note is wrong

[Link10103]

I cant play any of the damn notes on the left side of the ocarina, hardly any sound comes out, and when it does it sounds as if something is blocking it. The freaking song of time is almost a challenge cause of that.

[MrDeadbabys]

@Link10103 the trick is to blow harder than you do with the left notes..i just sorta got it 

[MrDeadbabys]

@MrDeadbabys i ment blow harder on the higher notes

[irayayang11171991]

play it backwards it plays the main theme in skyward sword 1-16

[puzzlechu]

@irayayang11171991 ho shit. xD

[MrSupremeGogeta]

This is ocarina of time

[chippo11880]

the 11. and the 12. tab sound strange?! i have a Budrio Do1 Ocarina from Italy? What's wrong :O?

[tacogecko333]

@chippo11880 really? hmm. how much was it and what does it look like?

[YINRA8]

awesome. learning to play with 12 hole ocarina *w*

[RazorGracidea]

@goldedrago Yes it can

[Lawliet1320]

is this what the sheet music looks like?

[SargeantNoob7]

@Lawliet1320 theyre called tabs. sheet music on ocarina is only if your REALLY good at it.

[LoLu2000]

I have 2 Ocarinas... the small one got 6 holes in the front and 2 in the back.

The big one got 7 in the front and 2 in the back. but it looks almost like zelda ocarina exzept of the missing hole in the front down. can u help me? I dont know how to do the highest part without the missing hole.

[PatchworkParamedic]

@LoLu2000 Maybe, You have a different kind of ocarina. There are so many, you may want to find different tabs.

[TheNerdfightastic]

my ocarina wont hit the two highest notes... (notes 29 and 49)

[norskeflagget]

could you PLZ make a video where the ocarina lights up when its that tone plz?

[norskeflagget]

AGH!!! I can do 1-3 pretty and nice but when I comes to 4-6 the notes dont match the tones!

[KittyKatsize]

Play it backwards n u get the skyward sword theme, sooo cool!

[xXTruColombianXx]

i just got an ocarina and this video helped me to play Zelda's lullaby

[minembo]

can you do a tutorial on a 8 hole ocarina i got 6 holes in the front and two in the back



[YumeShinigami]

Hi, I have a 10 hole ocarina and when I try and play the really high notes, almost no sound comes out at all or it sounds horrible. What ma I doing wrong?

[norskeflagget]

@YumeShinigami same problem here!

[metaponica]

R.I.P people with ear phones.

[alliancemastery]

can i download the images so i can practice instead of stoping the vid to practice?

[thatguyCrow]

i went to comicon today and got a free Legend of zelda ocarina of time ocarina from the nintendo booth. im am going to master this

[XXHOLLYXX1000]

@thatguyCrow :D i went yesterday and i got it !!

[wildinferno16]

@XXHOLLYXX1000 same here XD

[demonheart13]

would you mind writing the musical alphabet under the tabs, i have a 9 hole stl ocarina and basically there're are no tabs for those, so i can only get songs using the musical alphabet or numbers, besides it makes it easier for anyone who doesn't have a ten hole ocarina, not just me. so please and thankyou.

[barmazuz]

Thumbs up if you got here for your Ocarina of time 3d bundle ocarina.

[brianbradley0313]

HAHA, not the biggest Zelda fan but i really love Zelda's lullaby. I got a free 10 hole ocarina from the Nintendo Connection tour, now trying to learn this song!!! LOL

[mydon15]

link made 7 accounts to like this video

[ClemmencyTiger]

I just got my ocarina today and im totally loving this video right now! Thanks :D

[TrueBlue170]

Now, try playing this backwards...

[nightwacher100]

hey thank you this is very helpful especally since that is the same holed ocarina i have

[skipmc3]

@unowsk8t try not blowing as hard? Maybe that'll help

[Taliasam1]

just bought an ocarina andnow i found finaly a song i can manage to play! thumbs up for ya!

[unowsk8t]

my ocarina produces a very high pitch sound on al the notes :(

[mabdel99]

@GothicNarwhal it wud sound better without a plastic ocarina that still has 12 holes. 11 and 12 also will not sound like the tutorial because the tutorial is not an ocarina playing. This song sounds the best with a double ocarina

[GothicNarwhal]

I just got an ocarina, and it won't play 11 or 12. It sounds like a dying cat. Is it the Ocarina (12 hole tenor, plastic) or is it me?

[pandaloveification]

woo :D im finally getting better!!!! at first when i was playing my hand wooden carved 10 hole ocarina it sounded breathy and out of tune but im getting better!! :) i wanna be able to play zelda songs whenever i want on it C:

[mabdel99]

Wrong

[MrCheesepuff5]

can you send me the tabs please

[TheKikoren]

i have a 12 hole and the 11th note is imposable can anyone help?

[OriganalPie]

I just love how there is ABSOLUTLY NOTHING on the internet for 8 hole sweet potato ocarinas. It feels like I'm constantly being punched in the face for buying the wrong kind.

[chainsawelliott44]

@OriganalPie if ur careful u can drill a few more holes in ur ocarina, i kno how u feel tho, i bought the 8 holed one but if u cover up the octave hole half-way its pretty much the equivalent

[YuraCura2006]

Can you also post "Saria's Song" like this? I want to learn that so bad. I find this method the best way to learn ocarina. please please please!!!

[YuraCura2006]

THANK YOU FOR POSTING! Now i can play this song. i was playing along with it.

YAAAAY!!!

[tomkendell]

dude.... the notes on some parts are way to high and out....check out ocarinaplayers

[PokemonSoldiers]

How can I play anything on my ocarina if it sqeaks every time I play it?

[SrPantalonesdefuego]

@digimonextreme4 hold the note for longer than the others listen to the music and youll see

[DAZELL18]

11. wrong :/

[MidgetKicker18]

Dude thank you so much for putting this up I've been looking on the internet since I got mine for some good instructions and this really helps

[MrRestart123]

i like this alot please make more

[TrueBlue170]

THANK YOU! I've just bought a ten-hole ocarina (a cheap plastic one, not like the REALLY expensive Ocarina of Time model I want. T_T), and I've been looking for something like this! REQUEST: Could you please upload a Song of Time tutorial? I've learnt up to the high C, but I can't get the other notes right. :)

[Jamsessionroom1337]

Goddamn guy who recorded the song musta bought a 500$ ocarina to get that kind of tone....

[MistikaManiac]

how much does an ocarina cost? and what is the most frequently used type of ocarina?

[Dynikus]

@MistikaManiac they can range anywhere from 10 bucks to a couple hundred.

I got a $10 plastic one from amazon to start out with. so far it works a-okay :)

[Brandon1555]

How many hole ocarina would i use to play this song?? Thanks

[OcarinaForDummies]

@Brandon1555

As you can see from the number of holes on the ocarina in the video, this tab is for a ten-hole ocarina.

[saiyanzelda]

@OcarinaForDummies 12 because the zelda tenor has 2 extra holes that you don't use. you could use a 10 though

[goldedrago]

@OcarinaForDummies can a 12 hole ocarina pla this as long as you dont use the sub holes?thanks

[ivandonat]

@Brandon1555 But every 10hole works with 12 hole too

[goulghost]

@Brandon1555 or a 12

[ladylunaray]

@Brandon1555 this song can be played on a ten hole or twelve hole, though the extra two holes aren't neccesary. It can also be played on a six hole ocarina.

[crow1789]

@Brandon1555 or 12

[PikachuLover200]

where can i buy this? i have one but my brother ruined it. -_-ll

[Shadseclipse]

Awesome, I love this song and I just ordered a Ocarina too! So this is a good song to start working on playing. C:

[gagexsmith]

hey when i play 12 it just doesnt sound right, maby im doing something wrong

[Jamsessionroom1337]

@gagexsmith Hold the little holes down every time, also depends if you even got the right key of ocarina plus if it's cheap expect a cheap sound.

[gagexsmith]

@Jamsessionroom1337 thanks



[XxAoixTsukixX]

it's either my ocarina is airy on the high notes or i'm playing it wrong. :(

[Kittylover499]

Ganondorf made 5 different accounts to dislike this song

[guilpota]

@Kittylover499 6 now

[Kittylover499]

@guilpota :P

[goulghost]

@Kittylover499 seriously ?

[Gorea1922]

@Kittylover499 cant be cause ganondorf is never on the internet for the reason that here are too many links :P

[BlueEyesFTW1]

@Kittylover499 That doesn't make any sense. There are too many links!

[LeviathanJ7]

@Kittylover499 Thats wrong. Ganondorf never uses the internet because there are too many links!

[Kittylover499]

@LeviathanJ7 hahaha.....

[SargeantNoob7]

@LeviathanJ7 BEST PUN EVER. PERIOD.

[puzzlechu]

@LeviathanJ7 two months later and this is still funny

[DEATHNOTRONIC]

@LeviathanJ7 omg

[cronochos]

@LeviathanJ7 i love this comment everytime i see it LOL one of those popular but never annoying top comments

[naydo9900]

thank you i bearly got my ocarina and i can finally play somthing :DDDDDD

[YoshiAshley]

Great video. :) It helped lots.

[Zomubs]

what key is this ocarina in? because when I try to play this it sounds off key for some notes but the very last page is on key for me :S

[YouForEntertainment]

Still my playing isn't so good at all.

[YouForEntertainment]

I am trying to play this. Your way is making it a lot easier than most places I have been to

[ghostielocks]

What key is this in? C?

[zeroroll21]

also i have a question.... well really a staement cuz on the parts with only one hole covered i always make this weird sound.... everything else is okay so can someone help me?

[TheSpazDuo]

@zeroroll21 for the higher notes you're sposed to bend your head forward, i'd look up a video where you can actually see someone playing if that helps

Heathersocarina is a lovely reference :)

[zeroroll21]

@TheSpazDuo Thanks =)

[zeroroll21]

i have a ocatina but i should learn how to play before i try this XD

[patrick10079]

thanks :)

[TheBloo786]

its easy until the thrd and fourth line wen i have to blow harder

[squalltheemokid]

is there somewhere where i could print the tab?

[SoldierX18]

hmm on 11 I just played with with left thumb closed also. sounded better to my ear than just left pinkie, try it out see what ya think.

[EWOKakaDOOM]

i cant play 11 and 12!!!!!!!! it sounds so bad

[RyanPridgeon]

@EWOKakaDOOM same Q_Q

[shabz4eva79]

can you play this tune with an 8 hole ocarina coz mines 8 holes???

[AngieDMonkey]

aaaaah!!! Am I such an silly idiot or why cant I play the highest tone (number 11)? Is there a trick or something like that? My 'number 11' is more like rushing than like the sound of an ocarina öO what do I wrong? Q__Q (sry for my english ~.~)

[SoldierX18]

@AngieDMonkey trick is when you do that 7 put your chin all the way down to your chest, it will come out good sir, no worries

[SparklingHitomi]

Thankyou so much for this tutorial! I can`t read actual sheet music, but I have an occarina. Finally I can play it ^_^

[xKuroTenshiix]

Hey, is it best to get an 8 holed ocarina, or a 12 holed? :p . I can't decide !

[OcarinaForDummies]

@xKuroTenshiix Well, as a rough rule, the more holes it has, the more notes an Ocarina is able to play. But at the same time, ocarinas with more holes are harder to play at full speed, due to the increased dexterity and practice required. Ultimately it depends on your own preferences - If you don't plan on playing a lot, go for one with fewer holes. I'd say 10-hole is a happy medium. Good luck!

[pikabro3]

@OcarinaForDummies i play clarinet as an expert what hole to you recommend for me

[TheKiddie321]

I have a 10 hole Ocarina and it workes great I find its not the Ocarina making the mistakes you are

[xKuroTenshiix]

@TheKiddie321 oh okay, thank you :)

[TheKiddie321]

@xKuroTenshiix your Welome

[xloollipopx]

@xKuroTenshiix for a begginer,8 hole, but its not very difficult with 12

[DeltaAlphaNuStudio]

@xKuroTenshiix Well, i was stuck with a 6 hole, and i hated that, because it was frustrating to play halfway through a song and figure out i can't play the rest because its notes go too high. I would go with a 12-hole and if you're a zelda fan, go with stlocarina(dot)com's New 12 Hole Plastic Zelda Tenor Ocarina in C Major. I love it, it sounds great, and it's only $28, which is cheap, compared to the $2,000 quadruple ocarina...

[fingerboardd1]

@xKuroTenshiix i would get a optinol ocarina it comes in 8 at first then you can sometimes make it 12 mine can be 10 and there fairly chep mine was 8dollors at amazon 1# note its a good orcarina xdd

[felolis]

@xKuroTenshiix lol i got both one clay one plastic! XD

[watja79]

@xKuroTenshiix

I use a 12-hole ocarina for that XD

[ladylunaray]

@xKuroTenshiix I'de go with a 12 hole if you are a proficient player. I just bought mine and i love it though the two extra hole aren't used often.

[mydon15]

@xKuroTenshiix 12 hole i have one mastered it in 2 weeks

[BOLTMAN686]

i almost got it but mines cant hit the high notes DX

[iliketoeatmysocks1]

how do you play note 11 and 12????

[gambithold]

@iliketoeatmysocks1 the less wholes you cover the harder it is to get sounding right instead of a whistle, its just practice get it sounding right

[SubZeroZelda]

I like the way you are implying I'm stupid just because I can't play the Ocarina like Princess Zelda. :/ dude. Seriously.

[NoOtherWords]

@OcarinaForDummies Is there a way to play it on the four hole ocarina?

[tonek7able]

what means let rings

is it that I must hold it?

plz answer me

thanks

[tonek7able]

what means let rings

is it that I must hold it?

plz answer me

thx

[dancingpixies101]

and...im kinda new to the whole ocarina thing. and i was wondering... what are the 2 holes beside the ocarina? what does tht mean you do?

[dancingpixies101]

which ocarina would u reccomend the most. im thinking about getting one and i wanna learn Zelda's Lullaby the most.

[NYhippie543]

Three highest notes are ridiculously hard to nail.

[YEMK]

the last 3 notes sounds off

[yavithh]

Hi, can you make a tutorial like this, but using the braveheart soundtrack? Thanks.

[IDanceInTheSky]

the high notes on my ocarina don't sound right. the note sounds lower than it should be....other than that, I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Echosofthemind]

Os there an easy to t tranlate 12 hole to 6 hole?

[YouDontNeed2Knowxx]

Recommend it :)

[YouDontNeed2Knowxx]

@vampyrezombiedragon *thankyou, I can almost play it :) , just need a little practice , I would deffinately

[YouDontNeed2Knowxx]

@vampyrezombiedragon don't worry about it, i barely ever go on YouTube anyway :) Thank

[xSunshine128x]

CAN YOU PLEASE DO MORE TUTORIALS LIKE THIS??? PLEASE DO SARIAS SONG "LOST WOODS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[malte2904]

can anyone help me? i have ten hole Ocarina, i think its a sopran, because its a smaller one. The prob is i cant play part. 11, because no sound...Its more like imitate wind, but no high tone....:(

[pokemonmaster8sff]

I think that Song of Storms is the best song to start with for beginners who are fans of LoZ. I just got my ocarina a few days ago, and I started to practice Song of Storms last night and I've already memorized it and I can play it really easily, and I'm just a beginner!

[SgtGarand]

Just made my first attempt of making my own ocarina. Took 6 hours and it actually plays. I tuned it the best I could but the lowest not is an A flat major. But, I can play this song up until the really high notes, but overall sounds nice playing along with this

[MyJacketWontZipper]

CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE MORE TUTORIALS LIKE THIS!!

[lookitsagrape1]

this was incredibly unhelpful

[gabelance1]

@lookitsagrape1 YOUR incredibly unhelpful! just pause the video if it goes too fast. GOSH

[NaomiLatham]

any one know where to get free ocarina sheet music online? btw great video

[purpleownz176]

I got my ocarina not 5 minutes ago and look what i can play :)

[SuperOmegaMegaman]

If anyone wants a cheap Ocarina for like 3.99 pluse tax depending on where you are you can ask me because I got mine today

[inkblot413]

@SuperOmegaMegaman $4? no way!

I'm no interested in buying one, but I'm curious as to what it's made of and what type it is.

[SuperOmegaMegaman]

@inkblot413 it is made of plastic and it is a ten hole ocarina perfect for this song

[inkblot413]

@SuperOmegaMegaman That definitely sounds like a great deal. Thanks :)

[SuperOmegaMegaman]

@inkblot413 no problem but don't you wnat to know where you can get one?

[inkblot413]

@SuperOmegaMegaman No that's alright thanks, I've already got a 12 hole one ^.^

[SuperOmegaMegaman]

@inkblot413 wow nice.

[wCailumtheGamer]

I actualy did it :D

[Nalenthi]

could you make more?

[x998san]

Yes, could you place make such a tutorial for Sadness and Sorrow from Naruto?

There are some tut's, but those are with a pic of just one ocarina, and than they colour the holes of the ocarina in the right notes. But I'm not very good with those, so could you please do Sadness and Sorrow like this one?

Thank you very much =^.^=

*my english is not that good*

[emily9752]

Yay! Thank you so much. I just got my ocarina a few days ago. I have MUCH to learn and this has helped me a lot, I don't know why. My favorite Zelda song, it's beautiful. Thank you for the music :]

[YouDontNeed2Knowxx]

how much do you think an Ocarina would be? Because i LOVE this song- and if i could get a cheap one to learn how to play just this song? thanks xx

[OcarinaForDummies]

@YouDontNeed2Knowxx I got mine from eBay, so I'd check there first. Mine was five dollars, with free postage & packaging - and if I'm honest, this is the only song I've really played on mine xD although I was working on a To Zanarkand tab too for a while.
