The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Main Theme (Ballad of the Goddess) on Harp

[AnotherStupidTitle]

Can I ask what kind of harp you have an how many strings? :) I'm looking at getting one at some point and yours is quite a nice range

[PrettyCureLover100]

omg you're a genius!

[Crazyblox28]

not 9000 its 55268 now :D

[LimitlessFidelity]

This is great! Why would anyone flame. I bet if I practiced harp for years I couldn't play like you (I suck at instruments that aren't blown...) This is cool!

[Ma6ro0osha]

At least you're better than me.

[Thropiical]

love it ^^

[hellojello911]

hahaha, over 9000 :3 . this is nice, even though you claim to be a beginner at harp.

[KillersonicBR]

i don't know play a harp you are so good guy congratulations

[red6dawn]

is playing the harp easy? well mainly the fingerwork as i find im a bit slow on some instruments with the finger work / do you get used to it, cause ive been thinking about buying one but the cheapest harp i can get is a $400 mini harp which is a bit of a longshot considering i dont know if i can play! :3

[dankoro]

Great job! I am so impressed about your efford and good work. Keep it up! :)

[Nuzleafseedot]

i love this video and you play this in 6 months! you are best

[YukiKurabayashi]

It took me about 2 seconds to decide that I was gonna like and favorite this vid. Amazing job

[Timmity3]

@100vivatar when I said that I had red your previous comment witch said that you THOUGHT it was sheiks harp so I was just confirming it you idiot

[Nateknaggs99]

HOLY **** THIS IS AWSOMENESS IN PURE FORM!!!!

[terminaterjohn]

OMG sooo astounding!!! Very talented!!!

[M4carbine97boy]

were you using ur phone or flip

[linklover10203]

Wow. That was great. It's so nice. Call it the music critic in me, but it was a tiny bit flat in the higher notes. But I don't care. You fixed it and made it awesome.

[MexiGamer123]

Amazing how you've been playing the harp for six months and I suck balls at playing the piano.

[moxieloka]

holy shit, shut up. you are an amazing harpist for only 6 months playing. great job dude ! :)

[drawingbefun17]

Play those notes backwards and you've got yourself Zeldas theme. :P

[MexiGamer123]

@drawingbefun17 :OO How awesome is that?

[amidahime]

The five people who disliked this have NO harp skills with a real harp or the one in Loz:SS!

[curlyfreshi]

YOU'VE ONLY BEEN PLAYING FOR 6 MONTHS AFTER I LISTENED TO THE VIDEO I SAW THE DESCRIPTION. I COULD NOT BELIEVE YOU'VE ONLY BEEN PLAYING FOR 6 MONTHS!!!!! YOU WERE INCREDIBLE!

=D

[KairuHakubi]

i only heard one mistake, repeated because the song repeats there, and... the rest is so flawless that one mistake stands out.

[DNAngil101]

Do Farore's Courage, Nayru's Widsom, and Din's Power! :D

[leoncioviolin]

bravi

[AncientLegendSeeker]

Sooo beautiful! Honestly, I can imagine an angel playing like this.

[TheTextingNeko]

Is playing the harp easier than playing something like the guitar or playing the piano?

[TwilightWakerofTime]

@TheTextingNeko It depends. It was pretty easy for me to pick up harp because I already knew a lot about piano, but otherwise I think it would be about the same level of difficulty. The only difference between harp and piano is that it makes your fingers hurt. A lot.

[TheTextingNeko]

@TwilightWakerofTime Which does, the piano or the harp?

I know guitar has made my fingers get calloused, and even sore.

[TwilightWakerofTime]

@TheTextingNeko Oh, I meant that harp does, haha. I've definitely gotten some blisters from learning to play the harp. I'd imagine that learning guitar is about the same, although in a different position on your fingers. Of course, I'd have no idea. I don't play guitar.

[G3orge26]

u should get a hand-harp... like the one zelda used :P

[RobinotX]

Pff I hate it when girls are asking for attention telling themselves they are bad and such. It's cleary you have talent. So stop being attentionlike and just know you are good with instruments.

This was great!

[AndreaEarthSong]

Hey! Trust me, I truly think you're great at the harp. You're lucky to have it in the first place. (; Don't be so hard on yourself! Always be optimistic about your accomplishments. You posted this video to show your talents off to the world, and you tried your best, and that's what matters (;

[RhythmOfTheRain777]

i think this is great

[chackaaa]

so beautiful. wish I could have a harp too ♥

[jediknight588]

I have that song stuck in my head ALL THE TIME now days

[coughcoughYOIMAD4M]

Awesome :D go on britains got talent or something, Simon will love you :D

[SakumaRyuichiNG]

you shall keep it up :D!

if you can, do a new version when you're better so you can compare both and let us listen your harp again :3!!!!

[Glaciopolimer123]

Holy crap, this has got to be one of the most awesome things i've everseen in my entire life. and quite harshing your self, you were great

[MrFavorite01]

This wasn't as bad as the description makes it. It was pretty good actually. The only thing that was problematic was the twingy sound. You know, like on guitars when you don't hold the string closer to the edge of the fret groove. Other than that, this was awesome!

[anandihouben]

Am i the only 1 who notices that the music is not in sinc with the player?

[princesszelda125]

hey this is really awesome for playing for only six months!!! :D

[Animegirlforever888]

-3

[blacksoup231]

^_^ Try and keep your hands level when you play the harp

[mikodomo13]

i love it! congrats on playing so well. it would take me forever to learn since i have to teach myself all my instruments.

[EmoticonCaminante]

Awesome :D!

[TehGriffzor]

Anyone want to send this game and the wii motion plus to a broke college student so he can get his fix

[ToriandGabi]

I like it! :3

[inuyasha42297]

I love you.

[kennyOcarina]

[BlakeLeBoner]

This is so pretty~ I like it alot GJ <3

[Condorado100]

Don't be so hard on yourself. I reall enjoyed listening to you play. :)

[TheDeniseVideos]

[StrawppleGreen]

[kokirikidx3]

[Alpha71979]

Absolutely AWESOME!

[xbxspartan]

Awwwwwmazing.... Your a great harpist how did you start ?

[xXvikingrinXx]

thats ..something that.. T///T always wil stay in my heart! so beautiful!! saludos desde chile, esto es maravilloso!

[scottwillisable]

i love it man

[zidan190]

*crying* so beautiful *sobbing*

[MrFair]

I think you did a pretty good job. Some constructive criticism so that you can improve: The only thing that bugged me was the wrong note at 1:15 and that your harp sounds a bit out of tune at the end. I think you should've left that part out or praticed it a bit more, since your playing there is not as good as during the other parts of the song and you're obviously not comfortable with the technique your using there yet. Otherwise, you did a great job :)

[chansenorsan]

To be perfectly honest, you're doing a damned sight better job than I am with playing that than I am playing it on the ocarina, I do wish you luck in the future of your practice. Have fun now \o>

[SkywardSwordFTW]

3 people are FPS fanboys like call of duty

this is what there online conversations would be like

FANBOY1: OiI 1v1 me qu1cksc0pz, 1f Y0u s@y N0 Ur @ N00B

FANBOY2: K.

Zeldafanboy on cod(rare):vs me i have a master sword see how u put up against that i will skyward strike yo ass to call of duty 1 BIATCH.

[raman813]

@SkywardSwordFTW lol man hahaha zelda <3

[Missioneer]

Fell asleep sitting up and almost headbutted my laptop, good playing though!

[AsherSotelo]

I just wanna say I love Zelda and anyone who loves it as well.

[yit2525]

6 months?! shit bro thats insane! i wish i could play a instrument that well :)

[mayonakanokonakona]

*O*

[miangel24]

*Jaw dropped... :'( so beautiful....

[PicoriElder]

You played that like a boss

[CherryBlossom541]

What are you talking about?!?!?! For only playing six months you did very well I was very impressed :D please keep up the good work!

[ThatwuzEze]

The 3 dislikes are from

Demise

Ganondorf

Ghirahim

[LinkRss]

ze....zelda? o.0

[precure69]

well played i like it keep it up :)

[Timmity3]

yay tri-comment :D

[Timmity3]

someone has a youtube chanel called "myself" thats strange :/

[Timmity3]

@myself on the first line its for skywardsword

Damn youtube should have an edit butten.....

[Timmity3]

@100vivitar the goddess harp was chosen skyward sword because it was meant to be a prequil to orcarina of time and sheik even says that its the goddess harp also in orcarina of time the harp is rusted meaning it is very old..... about five hundred years old witch makes sense because skyward sword is meant to be five hundred years before orcarina of time.

[100vivitar]

@Timmity3 yeah, i've already made that connection

[oliviaWILLBEwild]

i really want a harp. (just to play this song) ~x

[ninjatigyee]

nope this is Zeldas lullaby the main theme is ballad of the goddess

[Sprocketman]

You're *entirely* too hard on yourself. I can barely handle 'Horse With No Name' on guitar, and you're able to play like that after six months? Good gravy, I can only assume this isn't your first instrument, and that you have an aptitude for string instruments?

[Soul1998Eater]

Someone in the world will have to mash up the bestest videos of different instruments playing Ballad of the Goddess 😃

[Gyzyn]

"I am not a good harpist. I've only been playing for... what... six months?"- Don't be so harsh on yourself. It's a damn good preformance, You've got a ton of potencial in yourself, just keep playing, and making youtube vids.

[MapleLeaf05]

Amazing!!!

[chrismdz10]

GOOD JOB JUST LIKE A PRO

[supershika100]

VERY GOOD JOB YOUY ARE A PRO!!!!!

[KrystelLucas]

Good job. Better than what I can do.

[cristinadiaaz]

ooooooooooh my god you are so good ! marry me :( hahahah no really, marry me.

[oafutofu]

Man I love listening to this its sooo good!!! But I am

Curious what kind of harp do u have?

[Infamouslobster]

This may sound weird, but I feel like there is something so beautiful about being able to make music with your hands. This is gorgeous, regardless if you made a few errors -- it's just so beautiful. Thank you!

[NintendoFanBoy21]

This is brilliant! GREAT JOB!

[jadestar4]

yes post more! pretty!

[SORASTRIFE001]

Demise,Girahim and the sealed one(present one) disliked this!

[Guitarman11110]

why would anybody flame it sounded awesome!!

[raneanubis]

THUMBS up if you knew this tune was Zelda's lullaby backwards ;)

[petree]

I always listen to your cover on the harp i just think its absolutely stunning.  so much, that literally this night i arranged your version for my nylon guitar and now i can play it. you inspired me to pick up my guitar and do something with it and i thank you very much

[uallsuckass123]

6 months!? more like 6 years you are a natural my friend

[Jinxzero0]

wonderful...i need to play harp now...no-no wait i said i was gonna learn piano first,yes lets do one thing at a time.. :) you were great

[papikra37]

You say that you are not a good harpist... Are you Chuck Norris? Or an Asian? (don't see any sign of raciscm!)

[100vivitar]

thumbs up if you agree that Shiek's harp IS the goddess harp!

[BEB131]

@100vivitar Sheik plays a Lyre

[goodideaatthreeam]

@100vivitar glad to see I'm not the only one who noticed :P

[MrEdJepson]

@100vivitar I don't have to agree, i know it is, it has even been confirmed that it is the same harp.

[jason123456789cool]

zelda tu veut vnir cher moi c'est moi link

[jason123456789cool]

@jason123456789cool dsl jcrois que tes un mec dsl ^^

[Fannystar10]

You can open the Skyloft's silent realm =3

[NancyAKATina]

Sheet music please?

[AlmightyChastor]

Its Zelda's house :D



[whalewithay]

You should feel proud of yourself for just playing the harp! I'm beginning to feel its a dying instrument!

[killyrm34300]

your actually pretty good don't put your self down so much and amazing performance i give you a thumb's up

[grassroots15]

"not a good harpist" you are a good harpist. really.

[Miglink1234]

Master, There's a 85% that either Ghirahim or Demise disliked this video, i recomend using your Dowsing abilities to find them as soon as possible...

[yukiko08]

That was amazingly beautiful!

I'm a big fan of Zelda, and I completely love how you played it!

Did you play by ear? -u-

[TwilightWakerofTime]

@yukiko08 Well, I played it MOSTLY by ear. I easily figured out the melody and the first part of the accompaniment (for the part that is Zelda's Lullaby backwards), but the rest I used Thomandy's piano sheet music to figure out the left hand. I didn't copy it exactly, but it definitely helped as a guide.

[ss4turboman]

The two dislikes,... demise and ghirahim for sure

[FufuLover]

You've only been taking lessons for 6 months?! O.o *stares at 11 year old piano which I can't play shit on*

[blacksoup231]

[chipettegirl987]

[Adapder17]

[tonydegelia]

PLAYING A HARP MAKES ALL THE LADIES WANT YOU BRO! YOU MY FRIEND ARE COOL! i was being totally serious by the way. great job!

[alikayish]

[SadiChanMagellan123]

Amazing...I want to learn the harp :(

[Pentagamatron]

By the way im a girl :)

[Pentagamatron]

[hinatahiuga25476750]

[KGirl1337]

yah sure your not good. as if . UR INSANLEY AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[celticmusicjunkie]

OMG you have Camac Levers on you harp! (Makes it a whole lot easier for lever flips later!!)

Nice job for six months. *Just a tip, thumbs up and keep space between the thumb and knuckle when you pluck, has a greater tone quality.*

Are you playing a Fisher Harp by the way? the levers and the shaping of the neck looks like it is?

Love to see more of your videos :) :)

[TwilightWakerofTime]

@celticmusicjunkie Thank you! Keeping my thumb up is what my teacher tells me, too. I've been working on that, haha.

I'm playing a Triplett Catalina Lever Harp. I... don't think that's a Fisher Harp, though I don't know exactly what that is.

[Ahglas]

good? GOOD?! IT'S BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!

:3

[MrOmy34]

What Six months you are very good and i love it

[bedWhitewolf]

omg i love it *-*

[TsukiyoChan]

Anyone who flames you is an idiot. This was beautiful and you are very skilled for only playing for six months at the time of this video's creation.

[MrsExposure]

AWESOME! A blind person listened to this. Too bad they accidenly clicked the dislike button :/

[Griffinstar358767]

that chord at 1:17 was a little flat but that was the only really huge mistake I could hear. Great work other wise.

[Kululu0966]

hey i'm a harp player too and this is actually pretty good can you send me a link to the sheet music or something cause i want to be able to play the cords and stuff i already know the basic melody

[rainethesage]

Oh, my gosh. You've only been playing for eight months? Keep at it, and by this time next year, you'll be outperforming Zelda herself! :D

[LinkField789]

i can play most instrument,but what im good at is harp and oc

[LinkField789]

[neocreepfy]

[Knightstrikes]

[zeldagamelover24]

[Masterpown]

awesome job

[FireChakram]

HOW DID U PAY 4 THIS!?!?!?

[TwilightQueenMidna]

FFFFUUUUU - I need a harp now.....those are probably so expensive =S

But great job anyways :P................I remember you wrote fanfiction, but I can not for the life of me, remember what story it was...darn....that's going to keep bothering me until I remember it

[TwilightWakerofTime]

@TwilightQueenMidna Whoa... I've been recognized for my fanfiction? You're talking about Zelda fanfics, right? I've wrote Awakening and Shards of Time.

...And yes, harps are expensive. I could either buy a car or a harp. I chose a harp.

[UsagitheBassoonist]

@TwilightWakerofTime Sounds like choosing between a car or a contrabassoon XD

[MindBeyondAverage]

@TwilightWakerofTime Great choice. Was it a harp decision? GET IT? "hard" decision!!! AHHH hahahahaha.... uhmmm... sorry...

[solidsnake2390]

@TwilightWakerofTime Thats the way to go man!!You put music 1st THATS GREAT!!! i would DEF chose a harp over a car!!!!

[TheyStopWar]

@TwilightWakerofTime GOOD CHOICE. I waaaant.

[TwilightQueenMidna]

@TwilightWakerofTime HA! SHARDS OF TIME. THAT ONE! And yeah, I would get the harp. My dad's just gonna give me his car so.....HARP. But of course we have to spend a ton of money to buy new things once we move since we wont be bringing much, so I'd have to wait anyway. :(

[FireChakram]

u go girl ;)

btw I LOVE HARP u inspire me :)

[TheBiggamer64]

ending was a little iffy. But I'm sure with some practice you'd improve. ITS JUST SOME MINOR CRITICISM DON'T HATE MEEEE!!!

[TheBiggamer64]

soooooooo good

[somegirlyoudontknowa]

It's beautiful!!! I got chills just listening to your beautiful melodis :3

[Milkshake4u2]

Oh wow, I read your video description first and was expecting something bland. This was beautiful. Even watching it is beautiful. Your hand looks like a spider fiddling with it's web.
