Saria's song / Lost Woods ocarina tutorial

I'm sorry I haven't been making ocarina tutorials as often as I should. I've been preoccupied with my 4th installment of VGCats Animated and season box sets of House. Ms Splosion Man cam out so that's been keeping my attention for the past few days. Anyway, thank you to all those who suggested I do the Lost woods theme (granted its been done by plenty of other people, but i guess my technique is more comprehensive) and have bugged me about it. I do plan on doing "Morning" if i can find the sheet music, so for all of you suggesting it, if you can find the sheet music, it'll be uploaded a lot faster.

Side rant: I was watching "House" last night and I was at the episode where House and others are held hostage as a guy is trying to find a diagnosis for an illness no one can explain. This go me thinking about the justice system and all and I was wondering about the high return rate of inmates going back to prison. So I proposed to myself that we should reinstate torture for repeat offenders. Put in a three-strike rule for repeat offenders. If you come back to jail for an extended sentence more than three times, you get tortured once a week for the duration of your sentence. Hopefully this will have no effect for people who are caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time. How often is one going to be put in jail while innocent.

Also: gangs.... Frankly I think that if you are thrown in jail for a violent crime and have "gang ink" related to a gang known for violence. Death row should be destination for that person. Gang members seem to be the biggest population in prisons nowadays. Most people in prison join them for safety. All fine and good but doesn't mean you should stick with them after you've served your sentence. Have whatever gang ink removed via laser and try to pick up the pieces of your life. Gang life is easy, but short.

Enough rantings for now. They're unfounded and have no statistics or references to back them up so trying to convince me that I'm wrong is pretty much a wasted effort.

Lol how long had you been playing when you made this? I've been playing for about 2 weeks and I can play this song WAY faster AND better than this!

[ocarinaplaya]

@sonicman1011 eh, i played it slow so other people can keep up. :D

[ushotx105]

were can you tune you ocarna becase i just got mine and it is so out of tuned

[ocarinaplaya]

@ushotx105 the only way to "tune" your ocarina is to hold it in your hands to warm it up and that helps expand the hollow innards to get a better tone. If your ocarina is way out of tune, you probably got it from a shitty maker.

another alternative is to make sure you're covering the bottom two holes while you play.

[ushotx105]

@ocarinaplaya i got it from stl .com is that a shitty maker please tell me mine sounds to high its the 12 hole mini ocarina

[ocarinaplaya]

@ushotx105 I bought 3 ocarinas from them, 1 was made poorly. It's a gamble buying from them. I haven't a clue how a mini ocarina is supposed to sound like (not owning one personally), and I assume by "mini" you mean soprano?

[Jasmerism]

ive been practicing this song for months... and i still get confused after the first twelve notes! (i have a book of zelda tabs and this songs in there... even looking at it its confusing >_<

[tacogecko333]

gahhhh!!! this is hard. :/



[BoolaHoola]

@ushotx105 It is suppposed to sound high the smaller the Ocarina the Higher the Pitch :)

[SPARTAN1M17]

@RiseRedMoon Are you applying the right breath pressure? The higher the note the stronger you need to blow.

[XCherryLiciouzX]

Can you pleeeeaaaase do Gerudo Valley? c: I know it's kinda hard but please? :D I love this tutorial thanks! :]

[CannibalPony]

@sonicman1011 Shut the fuck up Sid

[xteminator3000]

@ocarinaplaya my ocarina sound different in the part that u only put ur pinky in the forth hole sound bad

[RiseRedMoon]

I love this song and can sorta play it, but I'm having issues playing the higher notes, they just don't sound right. Can anyone help? I'm covering the holes properly and everything.
