What type of instrument do you play?

Damn son, you're starting out with a nice piece of hardware there. You better love that thing like a child.

It's only expected to start out pretty screech, I know I was for awhile. Keep at it, you'll eventually learn proper breath control and whatnot naturally with practice. The songbooks are definitely a valuable tool for learning the basics, but don't be afraid to try and learn some by just working them out (like you did Smoke on the Water). Who knows, maybe you'll be one of the folk who play well by ear?

Song of Healing was one of the first songs I learned how to play by ear. Well, it was in one of my songbooks, but only the first measure. At some point I just kept going and slowly worked out the rest of the song on my own. Same story with Epona's song, that was another one I learned by ear early on.

This thread is making me nostalgia so hard right now. Ohh my little fledgling ocarinists, please keep learning for ol' Uncle Crip...

Oh yes, I am definitely not giving up. I've seen quite a few ocarinas so far, and i know i have a good one. It was worth the $240, and i'm determined to learn to use it. I'm very careful with it, too. i got a special display case for it.

 

posting to say that I know a guy who's brother has, and plays, an ocarina
it has fancy LoZ markings on it, and looks like it's made of plastic, but the sound quality is actually pretty great??
but yeah he played song of storms the other day when it started raining outside

and to answer your questions yes he gets all the bitches
all of them

 

Beatbox counts? =x

Well I used to play KB, but thing's so old it broke down. Which is a pity, I don't think they make the Casio MA-120 anymore. Still have it stowed in my closet.

Anyone still remembers those pesky Demo songs? XD

(And yeah, I just Rickroll'd you all )

He gets all of the female dogs?

 

Oh are we counting ocarinas as another instrument?
I have a clay ocarina, I can play it pretty well. I used to be able to play all the songs from OoT and a few from MM, but most have left my memory.
