I've been working on this since you uploaded the video. Within these two weeks what seemed frustrating and impossible has become very achievable and fun. Thanks

@@tasim1 fantastic, that's what every teacher loves to hear! Kudos for staying with it until the frustration turned into fun! 👍💪😁

You're the way Becksland! 😁

thank you!

Thanks a lot Zaker, I'm really happy to hear that! 🙏

what happened since then?? Please update :)

You're welcome! 👍

Danke Kami, gerne ;).

Thank you Doran! Good to hear that they work for your RAV playing as well! 👍

Such a pleasure! 🙏

Awesome, Looking forward to hear about your progress!

🙏

Awesome, that’s the attitude to improve! 👍Glad you’re enjoying handpandojo as well!

Cheers Emanuel, you're welcome. Which handpan are you getting?

@@DavidKuckhermann it is an 8 note(D) Terrapan.

🙏

Good for you John. It's not cool trying to force kids to do things right-handed. Glad to hear you later had a teacher that was smarter than that! 👍

Купил ханг?

@@user-my1dm2gf6z да :)

Cool!

De nada Miguel. Saludos desde Alemania!

@@DavidKuckhermann estoy viendo tus cursos en handpandojo.com y no sé si comprar alguno, el problema es que no hablo inglés y no sé si entendería bien. Tienes que sacar una versión en idioma español o yo aprender inglés.jeeje

Glad to hear that the exercises work for you!👍

I passed that instrument on quite a while ago. It was indeed quite a character. 🙂

David Kuckhermann oh nooo that’s so sad! Forgive me to ask but why would you sell this masterpiece knowing that there is only 3 in the world and that it will never be made again? I mean the sound that he provided was unique 🤭🤔

hehe, that sounds very familiar ;)

@@DavidKuckhermann Not sure if my left hand gained a new level of freedom but after several evenings I've managed to play the groove from the 3rd exercise at a moderate tempo!

Arhip Matusov awesome, nice job Arhip! 👍

The slap sound depends on the individual instrument quite a bit. On some instruments you don't get the nice and clear accent. The amount of ringing can be influenced by your technique, but the instrument is a factor here as well. Without seeing you play, it's hard to say what the reason is for the ringing sound

@@DavidKuckhermann Thank you, I just wanted to know your opinion. I suspected that it could be partially on the instrument side. I've been learning for 2 weeks for now so my technique isn't much better as well. Thank you for your videos it helps a lot as I have 0 musical background and have to learn all the terms and explanations.

Hehe, awesome! 😁

Hey Maven, check this older video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrupgLGq17WseoU.html

There will definitely be more content for handpandojo. Those courses are a step-by-step guide - all the videos build on each other. The curriculum is similar to how I would work with a private student building up skill and musical ability. These KZfaq videos each cover a specific subject in 5-10 minutes. They work great as addition to the handpandojo courses, but can also work independently. Some of the videos will be probably be integrated into the handpandojo courses with additional material in the future.

@@DavidKuckhermann Cool, thanks.

That's a question I'm also pondering. So far I'm sticking to the D-Kurd, because a) it's probably the most common scale and b) I imagine, sticking to the same instrument makes it easier to get used to it and transfer the material to whichever instrument you're playing on. The downside is that it is not as interesting to listen to, changing instruments would be better in that regards. It's an open question, but many people seem to appreciate that I stick to the same scale, because it makes learning the patterns easier for them.

@@DavidKuckhermann that's true. Everyone here in Barcelona has a d kurd too so I guess it's the most popular one

They have been difficult to get in the past years and not many stores sell them. There are more options now, but you still don't see them in stores much.
