11:28 I think the last note in the tab is wrong it says the right thumb hole should be covered, but when you play it, you uncover it. Thanks for the tutorial though
I've been subscribed to you for a long time David, back when you were still using the name DOCOC. I have always enjoyed watching to your videos of you playing the ocarina. I especially liked the Song Of Storms video where as soon as you finished the thunder rumbled.
Hey David. I appreciate the effort you put into those tutorials, however I am a bit disappointed to see that although your lessons taught us to read sheet music, your tutorials don't show sheet music in the process. Learning songs is great but as someone who plays several instruments, it's the sight reading part that I need to get a good amount of practise in, not looking at tabs (which are only available for a very small number of songs). So it would be amazing if you could show sheets instead of, or in addition to tabs.
I appreciate the feedback. Because people with sight reading experience tend to have an easier time with learning new songs, I try to make these videos with absolute beginners in mind, which is why I use tabs. However, I do include the sheet music for each of these tutorials on my Patreon page, and there are over 100 songs arranged specifically for ocarina, all written as sheet music ☺️
Hey there, I recently purchased the Kokiri Ocarina of Time from the website in your description (also the one I believe you used in your song of healing cover), and I wanted to know if there's any way to transcribe 12 hole sheet music to 7? I wish I would've known how limited my options are with the 7 because i really like it. It feels really good for a beginner like me but I just haven't been able to find sheet music for it. I think I will invest in a 12 hole if I stick with this but if you have any resources I could use with the 7 for the time being, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hey, totally understand the struggle since Songbird is the only maker to come out with 7 hole ocarinas. So it’s basically a modified 6 hole ocarina (or English pendant), but it has the same range as a 12 hole, so any tabs you find for 6 hole ocarina will work. You can also learn to read sheet music using the instructions that came with it as a guide, which can also be used with my “How to Play ocarina” series here on TH-cam!
Hey! Could you make a version where we can hear the song at full tempo with just one ocarina? I’m trying to show my son what it will sound like once he finally gets it but he doesn’t believe it’ll sound good without all the accompanying instruments
hey David, I'm trying to learn this song but my ocarina keeps making a whistle note for the high e on the last few notes on the first section. i tried this both on my plastic stl ocarina and my cheap ocarina from amazon. could this be a breathing issue or is it the ocarina?
pro tip for the future, order from STL ocarina. cheapest Zelda one is pretty good but the high notes are iffy, to combat that just kind of say “two” instead of “who” into the ocarina if that makes sense. but if you want the most beautiful notes you should go for the 70 dollar one.
T_T day 3 learning ocarina and it's frustrating how my sound doesn't come out like yours...i don't understand the tempo ..or how i'm suppose to blow each time i do a different finger position or is it one continuous blow T_T i'm a total noob...and i want to do this song lol how long until I can do it
Just keep going. Youll see improvement if you keep practicing. You might need to increase pressure depending on the note, but notes that are smoothly connected should be like one breath.
@@skadragon His Ocarina sound quiet and soft while mine sound like I'm sounding the alarm even with the softest blow. I don't get how that works or how to make it softer
@@TheBioshocksnake Do you have a soprano ocarina? Higher notes are just louder. Lower notes are more gentle. Unfortunately, you might just have to get another ocarina.
I adore the composition of the Lost Woods from OoT/Woods of Mystery from MM, but there is one thing that bothers me: in the OST, there's an oboe that plays the first phrase of section 2, then the ocarina joins it on the harmony in the second phrase. A single-chamber ocarina doesn't have that kind of range.
Technically, you are correct, but it would depend on the ocarina you’re using. For that harmony part, I believe the highest note is a G, while the highest note for a 12-hole in C is supposed to be F. However, if you are using a Soprano C, you can use a special fingering to play G as an overtone (sometimes up to A), and with an Alto C, you can use the “overhand technique” to play up to the high C of a double ocarina!
Because of you David I started playing. Thanks for sharing your talent 💖🎉
real
I just learned about this instrument yesterday. Love the sound.
just got an ocarina and using your videos i’ve started to learn several of these songs and i can feel my inner child again! thank you!!
The longest ocarina tutorial:
Saria's song💚💚💚
U did a good job❤
Always a magical tune. Great vid
Love this can’t wait to play it on my new ocarina thanks for another great tutorial ❤
You're very welcome, have fun!

Every ocarina player should know it 🔥
This song is the only reason I got a ocarina
Man I was hoping this video was going to end with a single ocarina performance... I miss those old Docjazz4 era videos.
Omg it sounds absolutely stunning in the end! Just like from the game!
I’m so happy to see you! I haven’t visited in a while but I’m so glad to see new posts!
We need an hour long version of his cover ❤️

Time to get learning, lol
What's the best Ocarina of Time replica that doesn't require the acute bend?
Correct me if im wrong, there are 4 Bs then an E, not a d written, bc it sounds one note lower than what u played
12:20 for the full song
I WAS LITERALLY JUST SEARCHING FOR IT!!! YOU'VE MUST HAD READ MY MIND🤍🤍🤍
Perfect timing! Have fun 😄
Please do stables theme from TOTK🙏

@DavidErickRamos How would one do that? Just curious because the Fairy Ocarina and the Ocarina of Time are clearly based on an alto C ocarina.
Cool :)
What ocarina from the website are you using? I also want to buy one.
Are you using the c tenor? And if not does it make a big difference?
Songbird’s Ocarina of Time (Alto C). It’s the same range and tuning from the Zelda games.
Where do you buy this lol
03:53
Still really hard to play lol just starting to get the hang of it a little
11:40
I'm trying to play on my 12 ocarina and it doesn't sound the same.
