_ _ _ _ _ All right, let's get back to the reason why I have all this tape on me and this was fun to do
_ Let me move that
_ Where you can see it a little better
But try to do this
_ And get taped up without any help
_ All right, if you're going to play a melody, which is very simple
We have a five note scale which is called a pentatonic scale, which you don't need to remember that
But just if you want to know it's there it's called a pentatonic scale five note scale
Diatonic is what you play on a keyboard or saxes or
_ That but then you play a pentatonic scale on anything
_ _ So here we go _ _
If you play a song
_ _ [C] _
_ _ [N] Then notice I go I lift up one two and three _
Let's say I'm gonna go to three if I go to the note three _
_ Then the first and the second numbers have first and second fingers have to be up I can't go _ _
Here the difference in the sound it should be _ _ _ _ _
if I want to play
_ _ the note _
four
_ _ Because it's still down you can't play a note if it's not down.
So that would be one two, three one two, three
Four then these fingers have to be up.
So if you go up to play that note
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [N]
Then all one two and three have to be up.
I know this is crazy and it's a little foolish
You're probably dying laughing at me
But I'm just trying to impress on people that are just starting young people old people kids that if you want to play
the third note
_ The first and second numbers first and second fingers have to be up if you want to play the fifth note
Of course the fifth finger has to be down
_ And then one two, three and four have to be up so you go _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
and here again if you want to play [G] the sixth note
Which is a sixth finger down and never comes off at the moment because I got it laced down _
Some people will put leather on it, but this is just for show
[Eb] _
_ _ _ One two, three four and five [Bb] have to be up and my numbers are coming off
_ _ [Dm] So if you want to go one three
_ _ _ [Eb] One two have to be up if you want to go one [A] four
_ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ One two and three have to be up of course four has to be down because that's the note you're playing is
It's one two, three four five and six if you want to go one six or let's go one three six
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Db]
Those two are [Gb] up _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] So
If you play six here again
All one two, three four five have to be up if you play four one two
And three have to be up if you play three one and two have to be up _
You can't well, I say you can't you might be able to but nobody does it if you want to do
_ _ Number two one and [A] number if you want to do the second hole, but you've got four and five
You _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
sound like a teal out on the lake so those have to be covered _
Anything above the number has to be covered.
So if you only go one to two
_ _ All those have to be covered just like one has to be up if you want to play we'll pick on three again
If you want to play three _
the number three third finger
Four five and six have to be covered one and two have to be up
_ _ All right now all the foolishness I'll leave the tape on for just for a second to play a song _
That's all there is to it
You play a four one two, three have to be up play a five one two, three and four have to be up _ _ _
All right now to play a song
_ You have to get it out of your
_ _ Head people say that you have to play from your heart and I agree with that completely no argument
I completely agree you got to play from your heart you need to but you can't do that when you're learning the flute
You have to learn the flute good enough to where you know what to do
to
get the
To where you're not being mechanical where you can get the scale where you know where if you play a
_ four
One two and three have to be up if you play a six
They all your fingers except for that one that's tied down has to be up now
Once you've done this enough it takes more than two minutes more than five minutes
I would think unless you're maybe not for me.
It took a while
I had to fight this just like and I had to learn it and be very mechanical
But then after a while once you get to where it's not in your head where you had to think about every movement
That you do with a flute then once you start transferring where you don't think about it, then you start transferring it
_ Think it's my heart then you start transferring it to your whichever side of my heart zone
Camera messes me [G] up
Then once you start getting it out of your head then transferring it [Ab] down to where your heart is then you begin to play _ _ _
_ _ Now one quick note once you learn a scale and once you [F] do a song
If [Gb] _ _ you just pop that pop is like I think it's called a pop
_ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ all right, _ so
On a pentatonic scale you can't hit a wrong note
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ Any note
_ _ That you hit is going to sound good.
That's just the way the pentatonic scale works
Versus the diatonic scale where you can some things just don't sound right
All right
_ _ _ Once you learn what fingers have to be up and down
_ _ Any note you hit as long as you follow those basic rules
You're gonna play a four one two three has to be up and I'll be repetitive.
But once you get past that
any note
Sounds good and then play a song.
Now what some people do I'll go through this quickly
I'm making the video longer than I expected.
Some people will look at a
horizon or a
Mountain and they'll follow the mountain
Some people will look at a tree and they'll follow the branches of the tree and ups and downs and try to mimic that
In a song which is good.
Some people will follow a bird in flight
You know, go up come down go up come down go up come down.
Some people follow a bird _ _
_ _ _ _ Anything that you want to do whether you follow the terrain a branch a bird
_ Just get it enough practice where you get it out of your head move it down where it's in your heart and then you've got music _ oh
I hope this made sense and I'm gonna get this tape off my finger before my wife sees it
She's already thinks I'm nuts.
So and I probably am
Y'all have a good day _ _
