Thank you

[@edmetz2297]

There is a very fine line between "demonstrating" and "showing off."

[@ClintGoss]

And I'm guessing you feel I've crossed that line. Hmmm. Well, it doesn't feel like that to me when I play ... I'm just havin a good time ...

[@samirdayalsingh0]

This is a very good video in the series. Thanks. Gets me out of my plateau.

Awesome lesson! Thank you!

[@liesbetleroy]

Thank you, Clint, great video!

[@ClintGoss]

Thanks Liesbet ... Flute On!

[@sherryb9770]

Super cool tutorial, Clint! I have recently become good enough to start playing full songs over backing tracks. Last week I noticed that I was actually comfortable enough with the song to start emoting it more and naturally my stance and body motions changed. And with that my voice through the flute, air velocity and volume changed. Then, the embellishments started coming naturally as I felt them, unplanned. I think I will now take these developments into solo improvisation and your tutorial is spot on timing for my flute journey!

[@Primeh1]

What a legend!

[@rlowle1228]

I've been working on the silence and i think. Ive got it.

[@LuisFlores-dq3xz]

wow, very powerful and beautiful! Thank you for sharing this.

[@ClintGoss]

Thanks Louis!

[@eluna34]

SQUAD FINALYYYYYYYYYY ! BEEN PUSHING THIS STYLE FOR YEARS!

[@kinki_mekkyaku]

Traditional Style is my favourite.💓

[@samirdayalsingh0]

It's like a crash course of all the things taught earlier. Loved it to the core. Specially the silence section.

[@44forgetful44]

Thanks Clint! I just discovered your FluteCasts and I'm so excited!! I've been playing flutes for many years but only intuitively and I'm wanting to learn some new terminology, scales and new skills. I love your teaching style and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos and learning more from you :-)

[@ClintGoss]

Thanks Serda!

[@6stringchippa]

Thank you Clint 🙏🏻

[@WindtalkerMusic]

As usual, very informative. I understand why you want people to be able to recognize when variable breath pressure is required to compensate for a flute that may not be perfectly in tune. However, the last thing I personally want to worry about when performing, is having to adjust my breath pressure because the flute is not in tune. I want to put all my efforts into the melody, style, and emotion of the song. That is hard to do, when you have to worry about when, and if, the flute you are playing, is one that requires variable breath pressure. In all honesty, I do have a few flutes that have this problem, and because of that, I seldom use them. In general, these are flutes that, for one reason or another, I was not able to play first before acquiring them. I generally make it a practice to personally try out a flute before I buy it, and if I find I need to adjust my breath pressure to bring notes into tune, I do not purchase it.

[@david_1214]

What a fun tutorial. Had a blast playing along with you - the best I could anyway!

[@jandunn169]

Your lessons help so much and give me things to practice. I have played the flute for a while, but only intuitively and your info on flourishes, grace notes, etc is improving my playing because now I understand more how to get the sounds i want to play. Thank you so much.

[@inesbernardes8321]

You are an excellent teacher! Congratulations!

[@ClintGoss]

Thank you, Ines!

[@liesbetleroy]

Love it that you do some tutorials for more advanced players too! ❤️

[@ClintGoss]

Yes, we do some advanced video ... if you check FluteCast.com, there is a section specifically for advanced videos ...

[@BrentAdams]

You're speaking to my kind of tunes here. Thanks.... and I'm definitely sharing with my Flute Circle as usual.

[@siyotanka4you]

one of your best Videos - great stuff :-) greetings from Germany

[@myaccountagain]

I forgot how awesome your videos are. You’ve got so much enthusiasm trying to get out that it just won’t let you stand still 🙏 I’m going to have to revisit all of your tutorials now 😃

[@randymotz134]

As usual, a powerful and informative video. Those who have never watched your videos have missed the opportunity to not only watch a flute master at work but to learn from the finest flute instructor in the world.

[@ClintGoss]

Thank you *so much* Randy!

[@erikodama]

Thanks Clint! It’s fantastic to se how enthusiastic and passionate you are teaching in you tutorials. I’m learning a lot and enjoying every step of the way. I’m very interested in the traditional style. Thanks!

[@timbacchus]

What a wonderful video. So much information. Thank you so much for giving us all this to work on while waiting for next lesson. Peace and Happiness

[@ClintGoss]

Thanks Tim!

[@ChiefPoints]

Outstanding lesson, Clint, love how you incorporated previous instruction videos so you can see/hear the result with all the tricks in play. I'm where I'm at with my playing b/c of these great flutecasts, they really get me excited about practicing. Thanks for all you do for everyone in their journey with the flute!

[@williamdarrall6443]

Great review of many of your previous techniques. Thanks, as always Clint. Happy Holidays!

[@ClintGoss]

Thanks William! Happy Musical Holidays to you and yours!

[@Invisible_Hermit]

Wow Clint, this is one of the best FluteCasts yet! I'm really excited about trying this out. Your enthusiasm is infectious, and while watching this video, I was thinking to myself "I wonder what kind of coffee he drinks? I need to get some! 😉" I was very intrigued about the old video footage of Native Americans playing way back when. I'm going to have to look that up, and maybe you can point me in the right direction if you know of any that's available online. Thanks so much to you and Vera for all you do, you folks are amazing and truly inspiring. Be well!

[@ClintGoss]

Look up Belo Cozad ... there are recordings of him in the early 40's that are good quality ...

[@sherryb9770]

@@ClintGoss I think it was Belo that introduced me to warbling via watching those old recordings. I was very intrigued and chased that to see which of my flutes could do that. Really cool effect!

[@johnjochecketts5073]

Powerful playing and a powerful tutorial Clint! It's going to push my playing up a gear in a style that has escaped me up until now! I feel lots of practice coming on - and I love some of your Ameerican expressions - they also are going into my "toolbox"! Thank you so much!

[@ClintGoss]

Go John!! .... and thanks for your kind words ...

[@ronetele13]

Thank Clint, that was fun. You mention traditional influences from the 30s&40s NA culture. Just took a look (again) at your incredible(!) list of Ethnographic North American recordings & written music. That's a lot to work thru tho & wasn't clear if any of it is accessible online. Would you be so kind as to provide a few selected references? I"m looking more for simple single flute (perhaps with drum?) recordings from before the Westernization of the genre, but would be interested in whatever you might suggest.

[@ClintGoss]

Hi Ron - Most of the recordings are not accessible to the public, and I cannot make most of the recordings I've collected available because of a array of restrictions, copyright and otherwise. However, some are on publicly available production recordings, such as Belo Cozad's Kiowa Flute story / song. I'm pretty sure that all public versions of recording are cited in the ethnographic section of Flutopedia ... if you need more pointers, just shout.

[@RadhaWindsong]

Fabulous Clint, your enthusiasm rubs off.............What key Flute are you playing in and also who is the maker of your beautiful flute? I’m in Australia, I do teach theNAF flute and hope to get over to one of your workshops one day....................

[@ClintGoss]

Thanks Kate! That's an F# minor by Colyn Petersen.

[@spiritualwarriorhealer6154]

Mr Clint what are some of the brands flutes you play sir? Lovely

[@naiman4535]

Good Morning, Clint! Looking at all your videos on playing the Native American Style Flute, I was wondering if there is any recommended order to watch them in, to be taken step by step, lesson by lesson, through a kind of online video flute course. Or do you just watch them in whatever order you want, according to what you feel you need help on? If there were a step by step course outline to these videos, it would be nice to take myself through it, and to see your flute pedagogy methods in action.

[@DontBTrapped]

Mate you had too many coffees!!

[@colezen1]

many Native Americans prefer being called Native Americans. This video was posted in 2019. the fact your life revolves around this instrument and that you still call them Indians baffles me.

[@ClintGoss]

Although this was posted in 2019, it refers to instruments and music made and played at a time when "Indian" was the standard term for what we now call "Native American" cultures. I used the term intentionally, in what I believe is historically accurate in the context.
