Disney's Pocahontas Colors of the Wind (cover) Native American Flute | Jonny Lipford

[@chrislee5362]

I remember as a child always feeling chills, and tears in my eyes when I heard this one. The first song that ever did that to me. It was very overwhelming, and I didn't watch the movie for a long time because of it. Now that I'm older, I love that feeling. A damn good song, and your rendition of it is just as good. Beautiful. I'm glad I gave this a listen.

[@JonnyLipford]

Thank you! That is the beauty of music, to move us sometimes like no words can.

[@cyc7lops]

There's something special in how you play...the soul comes through. Thank you.

[@JonnyLipford]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!

[@tinamatczak4936]

You are absolutely 100% the best ever native flute player in the whole world. I just started playing not long ago but I would love to play like you do. I know you've probably played all your life but you are fantastic and my idol player.

[@JonnyLipford]

Wow, thank you! I have been playing over 20 years. Practice and more than anything, enjoy the journey. The secret is to play like you.

[@young1939]

This rendition of "Colors of the Wind" is beautiful, but the backing track over shadows the outstanding beauty of the flute. 😇

[@n8tivqueenjay749]

WOW!...1st off I’m so in love with the sound of a Native American flute though I wasn’t expecting my body to have the reaction that it did going in watching this..IF AT ALL really but when you started playing I had chills run from head to toe suddenly! As the video went on just listening to you play while also seeing the creativity put into making this video too had me fully hooked. In the end I was left with endless chills and tearful eyes. Thank you for that I truly love the feeling of when something can actually touch my soul in such way as you did. I thought it was so beautiful, I LOVE your style, you’re a one of kind artist 💗

[@JonnyLipford]

[@marveldavey]

What an excellent performance, Jonny! Really enjoyed listening to this. Do you sell the backing track for this song? If not, any suggestion where I can buy it from? Thanks!

[@JonnyLipford]

I'm sorry but I do not have a license for distribution of this backing track. I do sell the sheet music. Some of my students have had success with finding karaoke or instrumental tracks on music selling platforms for free. Sometimes the arrangement has to be modified slightly to fit what you can find. www.jonnylipfordmusic.com/collections/native-american-flute-sheet-music/products/colors-of-the-wind-sheet-music-for-native-american-flute-pdf

[@marveldavey]

@@JonnyLipford Thanks Jonny! I believe you wrote the sing was played on Jon Norris' G minor flute. What kind of wood that flute was made of? Was it poplar wood? I loved the character of the sound.

[@jeanmatlock370]

Wow so beautiful 👍🏻

@@JonnyLipford thank to you Jonny. You are very inspiring. I am so glad that I have discovered your videos and your website. I love the courses online.

[@olvimend]

Great. this is like a jackson pollock painting!!!.........Can you please tell who made the flute you have at the end of the video on the image! with the bird end cap. Thanks in advance. Please do not stop!

[@JonnyLipford]

Hi Aida, that flute in the end screen is made by Jon Norris jonnorrismusic.com He makes a really nice bird head flute. Thanks for the comment and view! :)

[@terrywilliams759]

Absolutely amazing was just curious I have a drone flute and a regular flute in F sharp is it possible to play this song was curious what you're flute is

[@JonnyLipford]

My flute is in the key of G, so you'll be a little lower than me. You can play this song with a drone, though, I wouldn't play the whole thing with a drone flute. I had thought about doing that at one point. There are sections where you're going to be resting on the 5th or resolving on the root and in those phrases, I would use the drone, otherwise I would play it as a solo flute. I have work to do with the drone flute(s) in the way of tutorials. More to come later this year!

[@dragonnsky4208]

Hi John, Thank you for your sharing. I guess you play in the key of G. I can play this song in the key of A. But it doesnt work well in D or #F. I know the flute tableture of this song. In which key or keys do you recommend us to play it? Regards.

[@JonnyLipford]

This song can be played in any key as a solo. There are a few upper register notes which would make it more difficult on some flutes. I played this flute in a G while many others choose to play it in A. The tablature shows the finger diagrams, too, so you could easily play this song on any flute. :)

[@rayhari6957]

Love the music. So soothing. Hope you were able to wash all the paint off the flute after the video.

[@aqpntr1]

I'll buy the flute you used to make this video!

[@JonnyLipford]

I have one just like it that is yours ... without paint. :)

[@likevisitor3961]

Hm....is verry quiet and well played;you make me almost sleep 👍

[@JonnyLipford]

Thanks for watching!

[@f1948s]

What key is the flute you are playing? Sounds great.

[@JonnyLipford]

Thank you! The majority of the song is played on a G Minor flute from Jon Norris Music & Arts. There is a short piece at the beginning played on a transverse flute called a bansuri.

[@InfiniteGyre069]

Self taught flute noob here, what key is your flute in for this piece? I own a G and am not sure if I can play this song with it.

[@JonnyLipford]

I do offer sheet music for this song, which was recorded in G minor. You can play the sheet music in any key without a backing track or play along with me in the video with your G! www.jonnylipfordmusic.com/collections/native-american-flute-sheet-music/products/colors-of-the-wind-sheet-music-for-native-american-flute-pdf

[@laurenelphick9011]

Heya! is this flute in the key of A?

[@JonnyLipford]

G Minor. Thanks for tuning in!

[@jeanmatlock370]

Are you playing a duet with yourself in parts of this song? Or is someone else playing the other flute part?

[@JonnyLipford]

I play all my own flute parts. The lead flute is highlighted by my playing it in the video.

Hello, do you have any other social network besides KZbin ?!

What key is this flute, please?

[@JonnyLipford]

This was recorded on a mid G flute.

[@smaxey85]

Dude how did you get paint everywhere

[@JonnyLipford]

I am being spatted with paint by award-winning artist, John Paul Schafer. www.studiojohnpaul.com

[@bobbyb7127]

Hope that's water based paint. :)

[@DeepSouthSlingsDarrellAllen]

Beautiful as usual, except all that paint on that carefully crafted flute, lol

[@JonnyLipford]

No flutes were harmed in the making of this video. It dried well and looks really cool. :)

[@DeepSouthSlingsDarrellAllen]

@@JonnyLipford Just messing with you Jonny............2 questions ? 1) where is that beautiful water scene at 3:10, and 2) what would you have done if a big ol glob of that paint would have landed right in the TSH or true sound hole, LOL.....you know it would have quit playing, haha.

[@maddysancho6658]

First again 😊

[@JonnyLipford]

Always!

[@josieber8032]

why r u covered with paint

[@JonnyLipford]

Kind of a tongue-in-cheek representation of the song title. I am being spatted with paint by award-winning artist, John Paul Schafer. www.studiojohnpaul.com

the music was the only good thing about that film . I live in that part of Virginia and we aint got any cliffs like that lol
