Didgeridoo Lesson - Learning the Clave Rhythm

[@ilonahoffmann665]

So I will now not despair, but the clip simply times to look ... Thank you and the owl in the background, I also find chic

[@HokuSeaglassHawaii]

Wow, what a lot of work on your part. It makes my brain freeze....LOL thank you for challenging me! I’m excited you’re working with the guy from Didgit!

This was absolutely super cool! Thank you for breaking the rhythm down this way. I wish you would consider doing a video on the 6/8 clave as well. I think I kind of have it. And, thank yhou so much for making us learn by clapping out the rhythm before trying to play it. I found it very important because I could feel it in my body. Need to find a way of playing and clapping a rhythm at the same time.

I'm glad you enjoyed this, and I appreciate your request for the 6/8 clave. I'll consider that for a future rhythm video!

[@williamhenderson9923]

Oh good. I would really love to learn 6/8 clave. I'd also like to see how you put it together with that other new rhythm you posted recently. And, it really helped to make us clap the clave rhythm a lot. Thanks for that!

Perhaps put the text 'and' in the cells between the numbers on line A. It might be easier for some not familiar with counting out beats.

Great explanation! I'm currently learning the guitar and this has helped immensely with my rhythm playing. Thank you. Do you sing also? I would think you would be a great singer being able to use breath support and vibrato? 😁

[@OpiumWalls]

god damn you're an incredible player

[@Thrombip]

All of your videos are good. All are interesting and useful. Some should get two or three thumbs up. This is one of those. Thanks sooo much! Also, I haven't seen them yet, but your Ta-Ka-Wa, etc vocalizations and your phrasing reminds me a lot of people learning Tabla. Do you use and/or demonstrate any Indian rhythms? And when I went to Zimbabwe and got to play along with the drums and calabash, I quickly learned that my Western, slightly Latin approach was not at all what my compatriots felt/played. Do you incorporate many African rhythms?

[@Breathwood]

Thanks so much for the comments and feedback! I would say I've delved on slightly in many of the world's rhythmic traditions, but a bit more fully in West African than others, as I used to drum with a troupe. What I love about them is the way 2 and 3 count patterns are overlayed - so fulfilling and trippy! As for Zimbabwe, that's a whole other story. I find the traditional music of that region really hard to follow. I wish I knew more about it!
