Handpan Lesson: 1 Idea for better Independence, Timing and Improvisations!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

In today’s handpan lesson, i share one of the most useful concepts to expand your playing. The lesson starts easy but towards the end is very challenging. How far can you get?

[@drzirkle]

That last one is extraordinary! They're all good, but wow!

[@fiatlux1845]

Das ist eine super Herausforderung. Im sehr langsamen Tempo gelingt es mir. Ich bleibe dran.

[@voivodess]

YOU HAVE IMPROVED MY INDEPENDENCE! I've never been SOOOOO independent!! ALL THANKS TO YOU! MY FOG HAS CLEARED!!!

[@fumblebee4234]

your lessons are so great. Thank you David.

[@Apaged]

I literally woke up today and decided to email you about creating a video about hand independence....Not kidding.

Once again well done my friend. It's always nice to start the day with coffee & Handpan & RAV lessons. Have a great day.

[@DavidKuckhermann]

That does sound like a winner combination indeed! 😁

[@AwakenEngage]

Really great lessons, David. Clear steps, chunked into manageable sections, and I really like having beats counted out above the box for each sequence. The quality of your lessons just keeps getting better and better. I’m a Handpan DoJo user, and it’s awesome that you’re including new stuff on here for everyone. Thanks for the hard work, for making the videos visually appealing, and sharing your expertise. Outstanding!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks Dave, much appreciated!

[@subobo4719]

Wow.... that's phantastic! Very advanced!!! I need to change my brain-function for that!!! I'll probably need three lifetimes to start thinking as needed: in LAYERS... which are played "on top of each other"....instead of a "note after note-line". Thank You David! This is challenging my creativity!!!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome Subo, that's great to hear! 👍

[@xxpression2747]

Just want to jump in here and say your lessons have been the best so far for my playing style and is opening the key to a lot of improvisation!

[@veganbang5050]

#handpanfriday are the best fridays. The composition at the end is just great, will definitely try it out!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

😁💪🎉 Let me know how it goes! I had to practice it for a good while even though I had been through all the patterns before.

[@tasim1]

Thank you again. So kind to put so much out there for all to share and enjoy. I'll have to work up to this.

[@nanryan6328]

Wow! You make it easy to learn! Thanks, David! I love the Tarznauyn scale!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

My all time favourite :D

[@rickiej88]

Nice! Great Tutorial! Love your videos. Opened up a whole new type of groove for me on my Rav Vast!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome, glad to hear the videos work for Rav as well!

[@msteven9077]

Awesome Sarah! 👍👍👍 I’ll do my best 😉

[@akirahikari6548]

Thank you for your lesson David. They are very helpful.

[@cb-at]

fascinating & professional - God bless you! I will learn handpan playing too, but i think, i'll need a lot of time

[@arhipmatusov8823]

Great, great, great! A step-by-step increasing difficulty for developing control and the feeling of accents! Thanks a lot!!! By the way, all I can do now are 2-3 first examples two times slower than the original... )))

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Awesome Arhip, glad you enjoy it and that it helps you with your practice!

[@artofmetta7401]

Thanks dear, thats awesome

[@michaelhandpan9675]

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Thanks Michael and you're welcome! 👍😁

[@shirinovissi1239]

This is really awesome..

[@1oglop1]

This is another great video, I went to look up all the confusing terms, like accents, etc.. So far your videos fit me the best among all other I tried even though I have a different scale 8+1 Do you also happen to have one video explaining all these terms?

[@barberrulzz3791]

Where can I find handpan like the one you use at the end of the video? That’s the kind of melodies I like but I don’t know how to search it. Does it ave any specific name ? I’m new so thanks in advance

[@SharonCullenArt]

Holy cow! That rhythm with the accent notes right after the beat is amazing! I hope to one day be able to play that well. And the tuning on the last one was beautiful. What was that?

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Glad you like it! 👍 It's my favourite scale - Tarznauyn: D - A Bb C D Eb F# G A C

[@myjhong91]

Total noob here. I like your enthusiasm but I'd like to see more time spent on the very basics. I'm still waiting on my Aura hand pan and practice on a 3gl. water jug. I have watched a lot of teaching videos. I think the musically inclined don't know how challenging this is to the musically inept. One day...

[@pippil.9393]

Hi David, love your lessons. Help me so much and make a lot of fun. Practice only since 1month. What do you mean with K and M in these lesson? Greetings from Cologne, have a nice day!

[@andrewringrose9246]

Can these also be applied to the Rav Vast B Celtic Minor?

[@andrzejzydek4295]

What kind of arabic scale you are playing in 6:44 minutes? Can you tell mi what sounds you are used? Thanks and bless from Poland:D Great work!

[@KS-cq1hj]

Hallo David Ich habe mir deinen Online Kurs 1 auf Handpan Dojo gekauft und find deine Videos richtig klasse zum lernen top aufgebaut und erklärt. Die Kurse hast Du alle in englisch gemacht richtig❓Oder hab ich die deutsche Version übersehen. Hab kein Problem Dir zu folgen verstehe alles war nur eine allgemeine Frage 😊

[@anvardh60]

David, thanks for these exercises, the final Khaligi version is mesmerizing.. At 2:37 the previous phrase ends with a ghost in the notes, but looks like it should be 8 instead? Please correct me if I'm mistaken 🙂

[@DavidKuckhermann]

You are absolutely correct! 😁

[@carloscenteno8524]

Dude i lo ve u. I have a 7 notes d kurd. Not too good but sound amazimg . Im from argentina 😂. Im poor i cant afford a european hand pa d ir a piguie 20. But in good. Thanks a lot for your help❤

[@clem.lme.music1427]

Pour le T, je n'ai pas le même son que vous, je tape pourtant entre les notes, est ce normal ? J'ai un handpan ré mineur

[@sarikatze1181]

What for a Pan do you play?

[@ferdirunge4510]

david, wohne auch in berlin, wäre cool, wenn du mal auf die c-base kommst. wir sind ne raumstation und hackerspace. wird dir gefallen! ;> auf deiner seite fehlt übrigens ein impresum

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Cool, kklingt gut. Meinst du handpandojo?

[@ferdirunge4510]

@@DavidKuckhermann ja, meine ich. ich hab übrigens nen HD2 equinox, also kein hang. bin schon neidisch auf den "bubbel" (k) ;D

[@LukeQuadrio]

David, thank you so much for these videos. I've watched all of them several times. I'm just about to buy my first handpan and I love that yours has the 9 notes and the Ding. What scale is it, D minor with an additional note? Would you reccomend this scale for a begginer?

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Hi Luke, The scale of my instrument is D minor or “D Kurd 9”. The notes are D - A Bb C D E F G A C. Yes, I’d recommend it for the first instrument. The scale is very common also on other instruments and and the layout of the notes is straightforward and versatile.

[@LukeQuadrio]

@@DavidKuckhermann Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

Wow, you weren't kidding!.......The Fog is starting to lift!......."I can see clearly now!".......that I can only get better!

[@DavidKuckhermann]

😁

[@ubysfma]

¿what is the meaning of the K?

[@jdogcisco1]

Good stuff. I have no rhythm. LOL

[@schjlr]

How is it just possible not to mention the scale you use???

[@goprohero5473]

What is K ? 😅

[@jdogcisco1]

What's confusing to me in the D 8 - - T - - 8 is that the first 8 sounds like the downbeat rather than the D. It will just take some practice, I know.

[@balazscsere160]

Are you left handed?

[@christinegeiler5770]

Dafür, dass Deine rechte Hand die dominante ist, spielt Deine linke sehr viel und sehr schnell!

[@sanmathshetty]

Not for beginners! Very fast and infusing online classes by being fast. Compassion is important mate. I know you can play well but it’s not helpful

[@DavidKuckhermann]

Hey Sanmath, I have free videos for all levels on the channel. If you are looking for material more oriented towards beginners, check these videos out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJiyippuYteibJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoLTaKh_Yr-Bopo and maybe the first part of this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5atc2tslNaam9E and of course the free introduction course on handpandojo.com. :D
