Irish Flute

If you want to make a flute video and get over 200,000 hits, here’s what you need to do:

I might try dressing in Renaissance garb and frolicking through the forest, fluting here, fluting there, modulating to a different key at the end–might actually make a living playing this tube-like thingy. :wink:

Or, I could play like this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtSjM3YU7Qw and get 300,000+ views. This is by far the most popular solo Irish flute vid I found. For good reason, but most others are lucky to be out of the 1000+.

I guess I can do it. I’d have to play in drag, though, and wear a wig.

Alternatively, if your flute is big enough you can get over 1,000,000 views:

Or hot enough gives you 700,000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c_ufaxeSTs

We must not forget this one. Unfortunately no beauty can be found musically or aesthetically. 544,000 painful views and counting.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I screamed aloud and warned all my friends. :laughing:

I don’t understand this stuff .

No flames are involved in this one and he still has over 1,000,000 views. Irish too.

as opposed to this wanna “bee” with even more hits.

Aaaaannnddddd, there’s this one with almost 700,000 hits:

Uuuuhhhh, I don’t think hits equate to making $$$ playing flute.

At least with both of these there is some talent and skill, but 1,000,000+ is baffling.

11

Youth + Social Networking + Vid being online for 8 years will get you there.

That Seamus Eagan video is great. Glad to see it again.

Second video is disqualified–not solo flute. Good numbers though.

Next!

The video of Seamus Egan was from the Mad for Trad series of tutorials. My sense of it was that someone posted the videos on YouTube and sales of the tutorials fell through the floor. I doubt Mad for Trad sold 400,000 copies of the Seamus Egan tutorial disc. You Tube has its value but not always positive I suppose.

You’ll have to learn how to play the flute without moving your fingers.

I gave up watching it because I spent all the time focusing on her fingers not moving.

I could watch that Seamus video all day!! Learned this awhile back…thanks for the reminder…what a freaking genius that man is…I have the CD he made when he was 16…Seamus Egan, traditional music of Ireland…oh my, oh my!! Even at such a young age, he was such a prodigy!!
