[@erickjmedina]

Go Robin 😊💛 lets keep serving others 😇☝🏼

[@AdrianBigyes]

Arranging the song to your own style... That's what a true cover should be.

[@erickjmedina]

Yes! 💛😃

[@AbcDef-fz3yj]

Thank you!! I would love if you also did a video about how to *fill in the melody* with other notes, like passing notes, broken chords, etc 🙏

[@erickjmedina]

Welcome💛 Passing notes, broken chords, that’s interesting.. 😊

[@dianne1254]

erick j medina yes please..hope you can make a video of it soon❤️

[@KarinaJavier]

[@creighnaesh]

this is exactly what im trying to figure out for the past few days, thank you! more tutorial pa sana on how to find the songs' melody in a kalimba, then pano pag sabayin yung harmony and melody : ) again, thank you for this!

[@erickjmedina]

Glad I can help you! Enjoy learning po. Yes, more tutorials pa💛

[@kalimbadelight6745]

Ang galing! Ngayon ko lang naintidihan ano difference ng melody, harmony and rhythm. Kakabili ko lang ng kalimba and i love watching your music theory lessons

[@erickjmedina]

Salamat po! Enjoy learning 💛😊

[@kalimbafairy8182]

Thanks for sharing! Dami ko po natututunan sa inyo..:)

[@erickjmedina]

Wow glad to know that 💛😊

[@vocalcha]

Thank you so much

[@erickjmedina]

Any time☺

[@wildlyrebellious]

Thank you po Kuya erick!! Na form ko yung melody + harmony ng having you near while naka play tong vid nato. I learn by ears kasi, hirap ako sa mga booklet ng tabs. Madami nakong na compose na songs with melody lang. Itra-try ko balikan silang lahat para lagyan ng harmony. 😍

[@erickjmedina]

Hi Lana, yung harmony available sa internet. Type mo lng title ng song, tpos sundan mo ng chords. 😊 then itrranspose mo lng yun sa C 💛

[@erickjmedina]

Example: Having you near me chords

Glad I can help 💛😊

[@AudreyBebz]

Hello kuya! Thank you sa mga tutorial videos mo. Been watching your kalimba tutorials lalo na sa theories. Been playing guitar for years pero di ako nag aaral ng theory eh. Pati na rin ukelele. Pero thru ur videos na appreciate ko na talaga siya, yung theory side. Nag simula ako manood ng videos mo kasi gusto ko matuto ng kalimba, tho wala pa akong kalimba haha pero pinapanood ko na videos mo at natututo talaga ako. Hopefully soon pag may kalimba na ako ma a’apply ko kaagad. Excited na excited na talaga ako! Nanonood na kahit walang pang kalimba hahaha pini’pray ko na maretain yung mga natututunan ko sa inyo. Actually wala akong gitara, ukelele wala rin kasi binigay ko sa kaibigan ko. Na bless din ako sa ukelele and kalimba giveaways mo. Someday by the grace of God magagawa ko rin yan hehe. Ngayong quarantine, na stir up talaga desire ko mag ipon para mag karoon ulit ng instrument, start muna sa kalimba..excited na ako magkaroon and matuto na may actual kalimba. Na bless talaga ako sa videos and Christian worship covers nyo dito sa youtube gamit kalimba. Very inspiring and encouraging. Kayo nina Kalimba princess ng pinas and ni miss Tip’s Kalimba 😊 nakaka bless, Christians rin pala kayo ♥️ mas na enganyo tuloy ako matuto from you all. I thank God for the wisdom He has given you all na magturo and the talent sa pag play. And i look forward in following ur example of generosity someday! Ukalimbakers na by heart, soon may instrument na. One step at a time, all by the grace of God. Blessing ka kuya, sana marami pang matuto from you.. - Audrey from Davao :)

[@erickjmedina]

Hi Audrey! :) woaah .. All glory to Jesus! 💛😃 I took time reading your message. Yes, I'm glad seeing Karns and Robin na nag eexcel sa craft nila. It's all by God's grace. I'm excited din na matangap mo na yung kalimba mo.. I was in Davao last year at 5 years ago. Nag aral ako sa USEP while ministering to students there, kaya binisita ko sila last year. 💛

[@AudreyBebz]

Hi kuya! Wooow Davaoeño ka din pala by heart.. blessed to hear about ur ministry sa USEP. God has used u in His work and ministry pala dun, i also know some youths studying sa usep still continuing what u have started in ur generation. Maka happy! Btw, may kalimba na din ako kuya! 😄 na apply ko talaga mga tutorials mo, babalikan ko pa yung iba. Naka learn na rin ng kaunting songs..nakakatuwa talaga maging Kalimbaker hahaha thanks a lot kuya Erick! God bless you more

[@SweetLengLeng]

[@genlala]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I'm new to kalimba, but this was really helpful! Still I am making mistakes sometimes, are there any tips how to reduce them?

[@erickjmedina]

Hi Elena, I make mistakes too. Mistakes are fine. Playing kalimba is like the fingerstyle of guitar playing. It’s actually an advanced skill. Be patient to yourself. Keep practicing and you will realize that your mistakes will go lesser and leaser. Enjoy learning. Kalimba shouldnt stress you out ☕️😊💛

[@cee8226]

Thank u po! I dont have music background, none in my family XD but i really want to learn on my own 😌

[@NeptuneatDawn]

Haue you tried putting your kalimba on a drum to make it louder acouſtically? Looking foꝛ a way to make it louder without electronics. Thanks.

[@erickjmedina]

Hi! I haven’t tried but that’s interesting. I tried putting it on a table. It became louder too. I think any wooden surface that can create much vibration will do

[@janinebautista9689]

Hi new kalimbakers here. noob questions po. 1. Pwede ko po ba gamitin yung left hand notes sa music sheet para sa harmony pag nag play ako ng kalimba? 2. Pano nyo po nalalaman kung pang ilang octave yung mga chords sa gitara tsaka anong key ginamit nya? Kadalasan kasi sa mga guitar chords na nakikita ko, mismong chord lang nakalagay wala yung mga numbers like dun sa example nyo sa vid at kung ano key yung kanta na yon. so kung ttranslate ko sya sa kalimba tabs, d ko alam anong octave po sya and from what key ko sya need itranspose papuntang C. 3. Sabi sa mga nababasa ko, sa kalimba natural tones lang pwede iplay, so wala sharps or flats. Eto po ba is for kalimba lang na nasa C ang tonality? kasi sa C scale walang mga sharps or flats. Nalito lang ako kasi kung yung kalimba ko naman is B ang tonality, pag tiningan ko yung scale nya may mga sharps so makakaplay ako ng may sharps and flats.

@@erickjmedina hello. sige po. btw, thank you po pala sa mga free vids na to. Ang hirap humanap sa google ng mga learning materials sa kalimba na madali igrasp ng normal na tao. Buti na lang may ganito. Kung d dahil sa tutorial vids nyo ni "tips kalimba", baka tinigil ko na to haha

[@erickjmedina]

Yes si ate Robin mo willing dn tlaga mag assist sa mga gusto matuto. Dont give up 💛😊

[@KalimBuddy]

Pano po pag yung chords/harmony lang ang iaarrange? Yung mismong letters lang ang susundan? May technique po pa ng pag pluck ng tines pag chords lang?

[@KalimBuddy]

Madalas ko to panoorin, mejo nalilito pa rin ako pag chords lang 😅

[@erickjmedina]

Kalim Buddy kzbin.info/www/bejne/raSZq6eYiqidjsk hi po paki panuod yang nasa bandang middle.. yung nag present po ko ng chords.. 3 tines po chords. Will help you po, let’s chat sa IG ericksonmdn

[@janeriota5716]

Correct me if I'm wrongbut when ur making your own tab, aside from the chords of the song u will also need to add an additional rhythm?? Of your choice?

[@erickjmedina]

Hi! Making arrangment mostly depends on the maker. Let’s say how we hit the chords vary also. It’s not necessary to add our own rhythm, but you can always spice things up in your arrangement, and yes of your choice.😊

[@erickjmedina]

I’m not sure if I pick up your question completely, but we can talk in IG in case i didnt make myself clear😊

[@janeriota5716]

@@erickjmedinai completely understand naman po hehe. May napanood po kasi akong video na naglagay pa siya ng ibang letter sa tab na ginawa niya bukod doon sa chords kaya medyo nalito. Thank you for answering my question po!
