[@BlackBearSixTV]

God Bless the Pentatonic Scale & BlueBearFlutes :)

[@BlueBearFlutes]

🙏 Amen 🙏

[@juncakarina7690]

you are SOOO INSPIRATIONAL :) thank you so so much for keeping it simple xx

[@paul19644691]

That is a cool idea to take random notes and use your talent and technique and create a song. It really opens the floodgates to open your ability to make a melody! Thanks for the video!

[@BlueBearFlutes]

And yet there is still so much more than we can do, too!

[@braveheart51able]

Thank you, Charlie! What a fantastic, simple idea! Definitley gonna try this.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

It works! Wait until you see the next video!

[@RustyGunn7]

Thanks for this idea. I never would have thought of this. Cool idea.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Wait until you see the next one my friend!

[@leatherwulf9914]

Thanks again.

[@acrylicpouring8924]

Very nice idea, I even played with you at the same time. Thank you for the idea.

[@TiffaniStott]

Awesome idea, Thank you for sharing .

[@BlueBearFlutes]

It certainly works Tiffani! Sometimes the results are surprising and awesome!

[@1mdlmusic]

An excellent song-writing tool, It reminds me of something that Steve Allen used to do. He’d have 4 audience members hit random piano keys, then use those notes to compose a song. Just goes to show that there are no wrong notes; it all depends on how you use them.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Absolutely my friend! Very well said!

[@yanncourtel8538]

Thank you so much Charlie for the great method and all the information!! Looking forward to trying it tonight! Starting the composing tutorial with painting a dice in another color though. You are something else XD Enjoy your day! Blessings

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Thank you so much!

[@userfixit]

Great idea. Very Natural. -Bob. Athens. GA

[@BlueBearFlutes]

I agree! It is very natural and very symbolic of the actual creative process itself!

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Charlie what a great video and technique to write original music, thanks so much! ;) Have a great week and take care my friend! #Heart

[@trmwyldshade1482]

I LOVE IT! Order out of Chaos What absolutely perfect timing! My meager efforts were starting to all sound the same (again:), so thank you for the dice idea and the dancing bird technique!!!

[@BlueBearFlutes]

[@richard-music53]

Charlie, Thank you for once again sharing your knowledge in this video, as you do in all of your others. That is what you do. Impart what you know to those out there who have an interest, and I'm sure, also create that spark of interest in those who did not have it already. If all people were to be like that, what a better world this would be. Keep on keeping on.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Thanks my friend! I appreciate your kindness. 🙂

[@richard-music53]

Thank you Charlie for this fine instructive video. I first viewed it several moons ago but I continue to go back to it from time to time. As always, selflessly sharing your knowledge with others. You and your family take care and stay well. From Michigan.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Thank you my friend!

[@jasonkatchenago3228]

Thank you for all you do Charly you have my support and prayers that you find the success you are working hard for. I love the new performance flutes and sound and looks of it. I could not ask for a more prestigious instrument.

[@dickdock4783]

I like this creative idea Charlie.....

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Thank you my friend! Now the trick is to learn how to do this with a two-sided die! Then write the music out in binary and translate it through Egyptian and ancient Mayan, and voila my intro song!

[@Invisible_Hermit]

Brilliant idea, Charlie! This is a great way to create variety in one's quiver of songs, and avoid ruts.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Thanks my friend!

[@ArminHirmer]

so cool

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Coming from you, that is quite a compliment my friend! Splitting arrows on a moving target far surpasses my cool level in this video!

[@nightowlnativeflute9496]

Cool 😎 Thanks for sharing this

[@BlueBearFlutes]

You bet! Just wait until you see the next one!

[@ShadowfoxMsytWalker]

Awesome idea charlie. going to have to start using it. and the flute tab.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

It definitely works my friend!

[@IISkarrII]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Keep a watch out for the next video 😉

[@IISkarrII]

I will

[@runlevelzer0]

Awesome technique and so much fun! I'm using a random number generator in Excel instead of a dice. Just open Excel, in the first block put the formula =RANDBETWEEN(1,6) . Then, copy the cell to as many blank cells as you want notes. Voila! Instant song!

[@wallofyarn]

I love this idea SO much. thankyou!!

[@BDWoodruffmusic]

An interesting take on variations on a theme. I like it! Thanks for the idea, Charlie. I'm definitely going to give this a try. Like Old Bones, I know we have some extra dice laying around; one of them is about to become a "musical" die.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Go for it Brandon! I bet it'll turn out cool!

[@granny4751]

Awesome, Thank you

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Absolutely! It's always a good day when I can paint!

[@granny4751]

@@BlueBearFlutes lol ... my painting leaves a bit to be desired too!!! I still think the simplicity of this method is awesome ... never would have thought of it ,,, I usually just play from my heart. Great idea!

[@granny4751]

I made flutes for my grandsons ... and have been trying to show them how to play ... this is going to make it sooooo simple for them!!!! Can't wait for the next video!!!!! A'Ho

[@paulshearon2423]

Great teaching aid, thanks for sharing !

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Hey my friend, it's a great learning aid for me too!

[@oldbones9162]

Now I have a better use for all those dice out there in one of my shop drawers. Thanks for one great idea!

[@WestBlvdVet]

What are using your kiln for? Do have ceramics side to your creativity?

[@BlueBearFlutes]

You will have to wait and see my friend! Be sure to subscribe because it's coming up soon!

[@Markuz1775]

Can you share a download link for the flute Tab that you are using...

[@BlueBearFlutes]

www.bluebearflutes.com/info 🙂👍

[@MessiahHasReturned]

For my opinion we should not freeze a living melody into a book to play it machine like. The only thing I would like are some little fragments and technics you can use to enrich the diversity of interpretations while playing a living melody with such a flute.

[@shawnort]

What is the old fashioned way of starting instead of using the low root note?

[@BlueBearFlutes]

It is believed that the old time flute players started on the top notes and played down the scale. I'm certain it wasn't like that for everyone and probably not all the time but most of the old songs that survived support the theory.

[@young1939]

If I had started playing flute when this video was made, I might be able to play something besides the scale. 😂

[@CertifiedSped94]

Why is 3 starting from the bottom but 1 or 2 starts from the top hole. I'm confused.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

5 is at the bottom, 3 in the middle and 1 at the top...

[@davidmurphy6884]

First

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Even in this creative process, it is merely 1.0!

[@SadkoLitsky]

Why these drawings of dozens of flutes, why not just write down a series of numbers ??? 653256454432126

[@BlueBearFlutes]

They are for logical thinking people only.
