  • 1:47 is the best bit

  • Flute is a solid instrument man, beauty in-defined.

  • he was born in seattle? soooo he really is sams cousin

  • its impossible to make fun of him for playing the flute!

  • when did you start beatboxing?

  • so far i absolutly hate 11 people in this world

    

  • Yo xXcagllariXx i know how u feel i play flute but even though beatbox at first my friends were like bro thats pretty gay but when i started getting better and beatboxing my friends were like bro thats pretty cool even though my first year of playing i reely didnt give a fuk wut other ppl think or say of i was like really i dont care wut u think of me wut i do but i know some where in life im going to get some where

  • I play the flute in high school right now. There are two guys, and neither of us are gay. But we still get made fun of. Personally I really don't care what people think about me. And what I want to know, is how the flute is classified as a "girl only" instrument. Sax and trumpet aren't "guy only" instruments and I know girls that play them.

  • @xXcagllariXx Dude, you have no clue how much i udnerstand you. All I have to say is, that I am a girl tenor sax player. And quite frankly, from chair audtions, I'm the best sax player in the whole band.

  • My friend that joined the band he played flute, but he quit because he was the only boy, and I was sad because he would never become a Greg Pattillo

  • by the way your amazing and I'm in middle school and i play trumpet and i just might switch to flute now =]

  • Greg, Wut would u suggest for me if I wanted to do wut u do? I only do a little beat boxing but I'm starting flute lessons. So wut should I do Greg?

  • @Bear321Claw

    grow a mustache.

  • i luv u dude ur really super talented !!

  • People who make fun of others for playing a musical instrument must be socially retarded. +1 guy flute players

  • @chickennuggetMM

    Definitely, no one should be made fun of for expanding their mind to music, in any shape or form

  • trumpet rocks i have to sit with lik 9 girls at my school it all girls in flute and claranets mixed in drums and trumpet and all guys in trumbone XD but i can beatbox on trumpet XD but nothing wrong with flutes

  • trumpet rocks i have to sit with lik 9 girls at my school it all girls in flute and claranets mixed in drums and trumpet and all guys in trumbone XD but i can beatbox on trumpet XD

  • @jazzaces294 they dont bother me no more thats good they just jelous that i play flute

  • You are my idol, i am Darío Portillo, Mexican flautist of 16 years old, and i play since i was six. Your work in the flute beatbox is awesome, and i imagine this is a totally new school. Congratulations, i would like to meet you someday in the flute convention (:

  • Eres mi ídolo, soy Darío Portillo, flautista mexicano de 16 años de edad, y toco desde los seis años. Tu trabajo en la técnica del beatbox en una flauta es impresionante, y me imagino que debe ser toda una nueva escuela. Felicidades, espero algún día conocerte en la convención de flautas (:

  • Great job Pattillo. Viewed most videos. All are enjoyable. Your style, interpretation, and complexity are rare indeed.

  • es un capo

  • Sir Psycho Sexy. Yeah dude. I wanna here you jam to that. Now.

  • A shout out for all guys that play flute. We must persevere through the teasing and laughing because everyone has the ability to make it where they want to go!

  • @flutist13guy

    Dude I wish I could play flute. I play sax so it might come later on.

  • well i started working on sax too so if you find a nice beginner flute its possible

  • a flute is way down on my list of instruments to get ahold of. Someday hopefully, but first I need to get myself an alto

  • you'll get there

  • you prob could cause the fingerings are basically the same.... all you'd need to learn is how to blow into it :P

  • I see these other peoples fluteboxing viseos and everyone says oh your alomost as good as greg! or i think youre better than greg! but heckk no! You are really amazing! Aand you rock at flute haha i think what I like most about it is the passion you out into your music :) Keep up the great musicality

  • roflmao..well greg. i bet they aint laughing at you noww.!!!!

  • I love you Greg, and that isn't just because you are an amazing flute player; your song CHOICES and the passion you put into them are gravitational for me.

    I hope I get to see you play in-person someday!

  • i get made fun of for the flute to lol but ive been voted best player in band 2 years in a row im 12 lol

  • 12 inches tall?

  • years old

  • dude really he been playing for 21 years he said and your picking out 2 little things besides theres probly a purpose he does that he knows what he is doing also nice vids to all they are great i dont really care how you play its sounds good either way

    RE:

    "spiritwolf1234567890"

  • Now everyone who made fun of you can realize what worthless bums they are while your being all famous :DDDD

  • Just listening to him play makes me run out of breath

  • The name Nathan Lee is not allowed in this in the Greg Pattillo vids. Got that peeps?!?!?! Unless you're a Nathan Lee fan...thats just horrible. You'll c y Nathan Lee isnt as good

    1. nathan lee takes his mouth off the flute everyso offten.

    2. he has his pinky hanging out which ISNT suppose to happen. BAD HABBIT!!!!!

  • I'm definitely a fan!

  • Freakin Awesome Man! Keep up the good works!

  • Why do people rate coments low when somone wrights nothing like WowHelper????

  • Otherwise known as America's best way to ruin your talent. same with X-factor, pop idol and Britain's got talent. They're all just ways to make your self 1 hit wonders.

  • agree!

  • he makes playing the flute badass.

  • @timmee1080 it already is badass.

  • Thank you freedomworksfilms for your wonderful cinematography.

  • nah bro..people picked on you cuz they couldnt play it

    they were jealous

    who cares wut these assholes say, if u like it, then KEEP DOING IT

  • bit late mate... about.. 18 years late.

    He did carry on xD

  • lol just a tiny bitty late

  • well...being a female flautist i can't really comment on that kind of thing...but i have to say, some of the male flautists (well, most) are pretty dorky.

    man, this guy and his flute are like way out there compared to my freaky flute mates

  • True, most are, but look at how many of the famous flautists are male....

  • i was never made fun of.thats werid but then again our band is so small that i dont think any body notices

    saw you at amro it was great thank for playing i should of brought frineds

  • well mostly its only guys who play flute that get made fun of. a lot of people think the flute is a girlish instrument xP

  • okay now i regret making fun of the male flute players in my band. I always thought the flute was such a feminine instrument. But after this video, it proves the flute could do more than the expected.

  • wow awesome story, i love playing the flute too, so nice, I will stick with the flute. And I get what u mean with people making fun of the flute, but i think it's definitely less now.

  • I love watching your videos. They make me wish I never quit playing many years ago. If there is one thing that I definitely miss doing, it's playing the flute.

    I'm glad you kept on playing through middle school. I know all to well some of the comments you have heard during those tough school years, because I've heard them myself.

    Congratulations for keeping it up. You are a joy to watch.

  • Hey, dude, your music is awesome-and now we know that so are you! I'm so glad you didn't quit!

  • Big Huge Question..

    at the end of the day

    when u clean your flute.

    How much spit is in there?

    lol

  • It's just moisture from blowing

  • i mean...i know its moisture..spit saliva all that... junk but think about it though..

  • LOL!!!!!!!

  • I am curious too if there is as much spit as it seems there could be, but if you try making similar sounds as he does, you can do it without making tons of spit, so it might not really be that much.

  • Wow. I absolutely love playing flute. n.n This guy really inspires me to stick with it.

  • flute is the only instroment u can really beatbox on. it has an opean mouthpeice. u cant do that w/ a reed or a brasswind mouthpeice.

  • true

  • i play flute in the band and no one makes fun of me but i'am also gay

  • Watershed.... You mean woodshed?

  • I'm in high skwl and im jst wondering y do kids make fun of u if u play the flute - im grade 5 - i get bullied too for it :(

  • Because most idiots associate flutes with being "geekey" due to the fact that they'e only really associated with classical music, which most kids don't understand the musical genius behind it. They're prob jealous they will never be able to do it! Ignore them and do what makes you happy you only live once! :)

  • Flute is the first best instrument

    Saxophone is the second

    and Cellos are the third

  • im sorry but regular flutes are not the absolute best, BASS FLUTES ARE AWESOME lololol and pics cool too

  • i've never been more interested in a flute. lol ive been playing cello so from musician to musician i say that ur incredibly talented and i would never lump myself in with you in any way shape or form.... i think i'll just play the cello in the closet now. lol

  • YEAH!!!

  • the words that help u are the words "cats" and "boots" right? :]] :p

  • flutes are the best instrument ever!!!!

    Flutes ROCK!!!!!!!!!

  • Who's second? Tuba? No no no! Sousaphone second to the awesomeness and versatility of the flute. Right?

  • you are insane omg

  • I know everytime someone tells me the flute is lame i tell them to watch your videos lol

  • I cannot get over how freaking amazing this guy is!

  • people made fun of you for playing the flute...wow. some people are REALLY uncultural. flute is awsome!!! you kick some major ass!!!!

  • i think it's because you know he was younger back then, and he was a boy playing the flute. I guess children kinda refer to the flute as a "girlish" kind of instrument. But really, you should be allowed to play anything you want, and he's really good at it.

  • inspector gadget has over 15million views now

  • btw... i play baritone

  • You are one bad ass original Flautist.

  • alguien que me tradusca lo que dice por favor!!! no entiendo en ingles =(

  • lol, he played sesame street at the end

  • U make me want to play flute instead of bassoon

  • isnt he from icarly?

  • dude u are like the awesomest flute player EVER!!i really want to learn to beatbox on my flute!!

  • the flute is the hardest instrument to get a sound out of. u do an AMAZING JOB!!!!!

  • nope certainly not. the hardest instruments are those whose tones have to be made by yourself, like the brass!

  • well depending on what kind of person u r, every instrument has its easy and hard stuff, for me its way to hard to play reed instuments.

  • no it depends, its not certain which is hardest, but i know that flute is definetely hardest to get used to, as in make a sound. unless ofcourse u can play notes over the top of a coke bottle or sumthing xD

  • yeah it's exactly (to me) like getting tones out of a bottle .. you just have to blow in the air in the right angle and therefore there shouldn't be too much trouble anymore.. i'm no flute player but i tried to play it

  • he made we want to buy a flute

    i still dont have one, but christmas is coming....

    ;D

    Im gonna learn to play the flute so i can do this.

  • Siiirr Psycchhoo Seexxyyy

  • people who made fun of u for playing the flute are way jealous of ur talent.

  • Alright, Go Chili Pepper Fans

  • Random Xstorm u a guy who plays flute too? high five go guy flute players

  • Yup, I am. :P

    And high-five back at ya.

  • yo bro hardly anyone can do wat u do

    u took a band geek thing and added in a fresh form of articulation that hardly anyone can do much respect for sharin it wit the rest of us

  • 0_0

    The story about how he learned to play is so much like how I learned, it's scary. (The part of being made fun of for playing it, also.)

    Now I just have to learn how to beatbox...

  • Look Greg I find your work on the flute to be outstanding. I love the flute I used to play it when I was in 4th grade to 6th grade. I miss it. You have created an art form that I admire. It reminds me alot of Jethro Tull without the beat box. Play some Jethro for us. That would be awesome.

  • wow u is soooo good

  • i saw him on icarly it was pretty rad

  • I think Greg is incredibly modest, humble and talented. He also seems to be a pretty smart businessman! I'd love to hear more about how he got started, what his inspiration was to beatbox while playing the flute..if it was something he saw done first, or just randomly happened.

    Kudos to you Greg!

  • I know what you feel about people making fun of you

  • marry me.

  • he is the best !

  • this guy was on Icarly and he used to be my neighbor! its herd to believe, but i used to yell at him to keep it down, and now he's famous... pretty much i also helped greg buy his first flute~!

  • lucky!

  • awesome video!

  • YES SEATTLE ! everyone loves you here (:

    iCarly, was superrr bomb btw .

  • yeah he played sam's cousin in one epsidoe the one were spencer quits art and they make him go back by having the art show thing hes there.

  • Boys playing flute? Heresy. J.K., I'm sure I'm not the only boy who got a lot of junk for playing flute.

  • good thing you continued playing the flute, or else, we wouldnt have such a great flute player =]

  • Thanks for the new video. I was just thinking it had been too long since you added anything. You have a huge fan base out here because you are an awesome musician and arranger.

  • I have a Platonic man crush on Gregg

  • i feel your pain im still in middle school getting picked on for playing a flute and being a boy

  • ur awesome! did u like being on Icarly? and working with ur neice or cousin must've been fun!!!!!!

  • Wow you're style is so awesome! I'm gonna have to show my friend who was all like "You don't look like a flutist" (she meant I didn't look like a dork but I still got offended) to show her how effin cool flutists can be! You totally take the dorkiness out of flute :D

  • you rock! XD keep it up
