Play The Recorder Like A Pro - A tutorial by Matt Mulholland

[nio036]

I can play even better than you!!! you recorder kicks all the time even in C!!! First your recorder is crap. to be a pro you need a "pro" recorder. a wooden hohhner for example..and I can do it probably because I have a good recorder and not a toy one!! tray a hohhner and Upload a video again. If you are good it is time to show us!

[akudada]

love his smile at the end of each shot !!!!

[monkeyonatable]

[suzanna122]

[IncredibleMD]

I am intensely saddened by the fact that there is not a full version of I Would Do Anything For Love on the recorder.

[DiamondDude1996]

[setherscan92]

[davina1389]

[kaffeetrichter]

[chrishornsby13]

[trashhgoo]

@LydiaLuvsMJ LOL! That shoud hurt! Hahahaha

[midshuffler09]

"you dont wanna put your fingers in the wrong hole"

[timato98]

[Xterminator72]

[elizabethbeatles]

hahahahaha this is awesome, awesomely stupid sense of humor...:D I like it.

[KnightSquared]

Just remember HFSNR - .... "recorder". Haha.

[COZYTW]

I've been practicing recently, thanks to your video, but i noticed a fact - Many of my classmates like to exhale on the mouthpiece HARD during music period, just to create a sonicboom and disrupt the entire class. It's extremely irritating especially when our teacher is a natural musician who made many cool, calming masterpieces just for his students. D: Any tips on how to make them stop?

[tishtosh]

@COZYTW Punch them in the kidneys.

[da1019sheng]

HEY! don't use that language around me!

[themahdz]

you dont wanna put your fingers in the wrong hole ...... lmao

[koolsmilez0009]

God, you suck. But i like your sense of humor!

[AmericansForChange]

I've already impressed my friend with these technique.

[goksicar91]

i'm sorry,but u are not very good at recorder playing..sorry but its the truth :D

[PDaVinci]

what is it with this porn music in the background?

[whowantsabighug]

@PDaVinci Because Matt Mulholland is in the video.

[kinchan158]

wrong hole!!



[techcow]

Thanks to this video I now have to hire bodyguards to stop the waves of females that are trying to have sex with me

[basse123ableable]

like a boss!

[mawnya]

@marloquesiempre98

LOL he made this video just for fun friend :)

[phazze]

ok, it's obvious this guy is faking it - you can't really have that much equipment in the room and not know anything :)

[fleshxrot]

just remember H.F.N.S.R.

[1701910]

"Some Japanese, which I can't understand." Lol I'm from the U.S. and actually found it on a site called niconico douga. Very out of context there.

[Whackydoodle]

He tried so Hard to get it wrong. Lol. He tried to make it out of tune by using wrong fingerings and too fast air, next he forces himself to get it out of time. Hahaha what a comedian. Ur my heart will go on makes me laugh! Keep going

[buckobas1]

thats swinging" ,we need more of that

[completecock]

@marloquesiempre98 i don't think you realise this is a joke, he knows he sounds horrible but its actually really funny

[DullQueenMab]

dude i actually thought he would teach us how to play...thats how wrong i was...

[squankelissimo]

An inspiration to us all, Matt. Maybe we should do a duet some time.

I have the same recorder as you, but more importantly I wish I had that model of R2...

[riotsonthego]

Matt, the reason why there are quite of Japanese comments is because your My hear will go on video is quite popular in the Japan version of youtube, with more than 190,000 views in that site alone ;)

[therebelwaltz]

i dont get it this guy doesnt even sound good hes terrible!

[twolfhound]

@therebelwaltz Yeah... Uh, that's kinda the joke, here... Thus why he does comedy. You didn't catch that from the other 200 postings saying what I just said?

[Chrisman50]

@therebelwaltz Someone's trying to cover their stupid comment up now, hahaha

[mg13ish]

Hey Matt - I have to give you a thumb's up for your performance. You almost got me there, hahaha ... what a comedian! I just hope you don't get an earful by a serious professional recorder player. Stand Up Comic: 1 - Recorder player: 0 ...

[emptysea2000]

I was having so much trouble playing the recorder. Apparently I had HNFSR instead of HFNSR in my head. Because of this, my fingers were in the wrong place. My playing skills have tripled since then.

[GlamFabWow]

Matt, you rock. Your video inspired me to take up the recorder. In less than a day i was already playing almost as well as you. Tomorrow I go in and tell the boss where he can shove my job. I'm going to be a professional recorder player like you! PS: Can I stay on your sofa while I get my act together?

[mattmulholland26]

@GlamFabWow Only if you keep beers in the fridge. I like your style, you don't need a regular source of income when you're a star recorder player.

[chanrakkunnini]

超神的呀,指法根本錯誤還可以吹這麼正！

[aidyonline]

i don't know, i sometimes think maybe it's just not meant to be. you make it look so easy, but when i try to play recorder it just sounds shit

[jediknightguy82]

Dude, this is hilarious man. I'd love to see some new recorder videos. You seriousness combined with how bad you are make this funny as hell!

[rabidabbey]

How do you that that with a straight face? LOL Now I can't play recorder at all...I'm LOL too much

[rabidabbey]

How do you that that with a straight face? LOL

[awaizy]

Once again, inspiring. 

[MrHeltberg]

This video is so funny, OMG... you are funny because you made fun of people who think they can play the recorder... Hahah nice one.. Do you have more of those funny video clip where you make you and others look like fools?? :D

[akosluk]

i sound better then you and im 13!!!

[smiechtel]

@akosluk It proves.

[ksgtv]

@akosluk

What are you talking about? This guy is amazing! There's no way you're better than him!

[Rushthatspeaks]

I think this guy is a total goofball in the best way possible.

[eGxXProductionsXx]

Are you fucking around? or are you serious?

[sariepoo1982]

R2D2 FTW!!

[NielsHammersMusic]

lol

[enblocquartet]

[laberintosingeniosos]

I love this tutorial for recorder!!

[bingturkby]

Wow - after watching this, not only is my playing better, my walrus is friskier, and some guy just gave me $50 on the street the other day.

[jibcraip]

[y2kvictim]

This video should go to the SUPER EXPERT VILLAGE.

[sIdvIcIOUs032]

I LIKE! :-)

[tritratulalal]

Understandably he had to smile for himself when he gave us that lesson. As a child i got such a thing too, and i was playing better than him, srsly

[paulthebassguy]

thanks man. That H.F.N.S.R technique has really helped me improve my playing!

[rippopeye07]

nice

[banannatron]

I think 'you' need some lessons man.

[yukrato]

@banannatron Did you really take this seriously?

[supercake101]

@yukrato I hope he did. Matt Mulholland takes recorder seriously man.

[yinxyz123]

[chuckawobbly]

Amazing tutorial, I am on my way to becoming a recorder pro!!!

[Reubnick]

Hey everybody! This Matt Mulholland is an okay guy!

[xXxGANTZxXx]

@Reubnick How strange. I read your comment and said, "Thats a very reubnicky thing to say", and I looked at the username to find who else but Reubnick himself was the one who said it.

[Reubnick]

@xXxGANTZxXx what a small YouTube we live on, Dom!

[gml4]

As a music teacher... I am both horrified and repulsed at the same time.

As a music teacher... I laughed my head off.

[squip882000]

Thats swingin'

[LouisianaSuperdome]

All this time i've been putting my fingers in the wrong holes.  Thanks Matt Mulholland!

[stayupthere]

LOL at Poker Face, who DOES that?!

[SkydiveSabotage]

The H.F.N.S.R. system is the way to go! I'm so glad I learned to put the fingers in the right holes!

[ejshultz]

so my fingers go on the holes, but what do I do with my thumbs?!?

[EpochSounds]

Fucking awesome! Thanks for the laugh, man, it's much appreciated. I hope you can post videos on a fairly regular basis, if and when you can find the time.

[lauren2401]
