Learn to play gospel & worship cajon // The old rugged cross // Heidi Joubert // Shuffle country

[@HeidiJoubert]

Hello! 😍 Here I start with a new series on playing specific gospel & worship songs on the cajon. In this lesson we learn how to play 'The old rugged cross', one of my favourite old gospel songs. Do you have any requests for gospel or worship, or any other style songs that you want to learn? Comment down below and let me know!

[@kevink2398]

Heidi, I love your musical journey that your on. The free spirited life style is very refreshing.

[@HeidiJoubert]

@@kevink2398 Hey Kevin I'm happy you are inspired by my music and journey, there are times I wonder if I am doing the right thing with my life, but I guess that's one thing we all wrestle with! Thanks for your encouragement, it has been a rough week and this really lifted my spirit.

[@HeidiJoubert]

@@elaineparker1458 Oh I'll look into that one! It's a great song with a nice beat. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for enjoying the lessons!

[@sherryrogers7693]

Good Morning Heidi, Most of the churches I hear are doing more contemporary christian music along with the old music. Could you look at some Chris Tomlin Songs or Casting crowns really any of the contemporary groups. Thanks. I love your lessons. I built my own Cajon several years ago and sometimes I take time to play along. Thanks for what you do. God Bless.

You are amazing your Grandfathers legacy lives on in you. Keep seeking the face of Jesus lock eye with him and let him lead you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony.

[@HeidiJoubert]

@@myrtlestreehouseminstry thank you so much

[@holyspiritfire8268]

I am sorry for your loss but it is wonderful knowing your Grand Dad is with Jesus and that he has gifted your family with the knowledge of Christ. I have been learning from your videos for years this is the best you have ever broken it down and simplified your technique. "If you can't play it slow you cant play it properly" such a great truth that one will stick with me as well as the technique. I would really love to hear you teach modern praise and worship songs as well. Thank you for what you do keep going you are appreciated!

[@HeidiJoubert]

The next tune will be a way more recent modern worship tune! SO glad you enjoyed this lesson! Big big blessings, keep shining!

[@jamesdurno5723]

Dear Heidi. So sorry for your loss. It is so hard to experience this, but we are comforted by the knowledge that life is Eternal, and because of your beautiful faith, you are assured that your beloved is with God. We lost my mom-in-law 5 months ago, and we understand what you are going through. Your outfit is a beautiful celebration of their lives & love. Strong girl, well done!!!

[@HeidiJoubert]

Big hugs to you and the family! I send blessings.

[@darrenpowell3325]

Hey Heidi, I beat you to it with the tears ! Sat here crying with you - it was my grandads favourite song as well, a proud Welshman who would sing this whenever he was given the chance. Thanks for sharing your time today, stay strong.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Oh wow what a very touching message, I suddenly felt this was not only personal only for me but to someone else too, in a very similar context!!! I’m so blessed by your words. Tears again.... thank you so much Darren.

[@HeidiJoubert]

P. S. Some of the most incredible songs are from the welsh revival.... I simply love those!!!!!!!!

[@gloriaschuetz453]

I was so blessed by your teaching video "The Old Rugged Cross". I cried along with you. I would love if you would share more worship song teaching videos as that's all I play within the church setting and I would benefit so much from watching. My sincere condolences for your loss, Heidi. 💗

[@HeidiJoubert]

Hello Gloria! What a lovely comment, it made me smile and warm up inside, thank you. And yes yes yes, there will DEFINITELY be loads more lessons on worship songs, the whole point is to serve beautiful people such as yourself, who in turn will use it to serve and bless others and worhsip the Greatest King ever. Thanks for your msg, it really is encouraging. I'll be making a new video lesson roughly every week (aiming for 2 a week in future) so yes, much to learn! Big hug and biggest blessings!

[@scottacissel]

Heidi, so sorry for the loss of your granddad. My thoughts and prayers for your growing comfort, peace and hope of a joyful reunion. I know that song well, as it was a congregational favorite at the small country church where I attended as a child, sitting on the same pew as my grandparents. Classic. Well done. Scott.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Big love

[@AmbroseChan]

Thank you so much, Heidi for this lesson featuring this Gospel song! Love that you are presenting to us so many various styles of music to play with the cajon.

[@rocketsroc]

I feel your loss, so sorry. Loved this song, please do others. Thanks!

[@HeidiJoubert]

I definitely will!!! Thanks for enjoying!

[@victoriasprintcafe]

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss. That was beautiful.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Thank you Victoria, you're so very kind.

[@davidhendrickson9446]

Heidi, sorry for your loss. I just bought my first Caj'on for the purpose of playing in our church Gospel/ Bluegrass group. I have been searching KZbin and found you going back to 2012-15. I'm delighted to see you today performing " The old Rugged Cross" I love your teaching approach. I think I'm in.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Excellent to hear this!!! More coming up....

[@sherryrogers7693]

Bless you Heidi, I know that was hard for you. You did a beautiful job and a great tribute.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Thank you. It was quite an honour to do this, I had planned to do a worship lesson for a while, and then my grandad passed, and I changed the initial song I had in mind to this one, I was inspired. Sometimes we all need a push to get doing what we know we should. Funny how somehow my grandad gave me the push even after he had passed on. Life is interesting. It is also very sad, but at the same time, I know I will see him again, and he will be perfect and without pain, so it really is a celebration... Nonetheless, I will miss him. Big thanks for your comment.

[@Antonio-ti2he]

I wish your other videos were taught like this . Really liked this one.

[@michelesawyer5049]

Dear Heidi, this is a precious gift for your Grandad, and a precious gift for us too, bless you. The video is a wonderful tutorial, I like the way it teaches us how to approach working up a groove for a particular song, I find this the easiest way to learn. Please do more like this, you are a joy to learn from ❤️

[@HeidiJoubert]

Great comment, thanks for your love! More coming up soon

[@tonybourne5616]

Heidi, you never disappoint us with your ability to teach us something and share your gifts with us. I feel your pain and send hugs, happy wishes and all of the nice things that we wish we could send you. Most people would probably not had the courage to make something good out of something that is so bad. We owe so much to your grandparents and what you have done here would have been lost in time if it was only performed to the people that were at the funeral. What you have done here is truly exceptional and (at time of writing) has no doubt touched more than 4000 people. You have not only shared your love (and your pain) but you have given your grandparents a form of Earthly immortality because it's online, it can be shared. If you have a good collection of photographs, you could make a musical montage with your favourite video editing tool - and I am sure your family would love it if you used this as the soundtrack. You have shared a very intimate moment and I have no doubt in my mind that everybody that has seen this from start to finish is extremely proud of you. Peace, love, hugs and wishes for happiness to you... Tony

[@HeroicCoachDan]

Absoulutely enjoyed it! and I participated in your celebration of grandpa by playing along on the counter top. didn't have my Cajon with me...so improvize! Thank you Heidi...your human spirit is so alive

[@HeidiJoubert]

Improvise is a real gift!!! So glad you got into this regardless of not having a cajon! True music is inside us, not our instrument!

[@harolddavis4138]

That was awesome. I would like to do an altar call with this. Maybe this Memorial Day weekend Sunday service.

[@jonashellborg8320]

Heidi, I really like the tone you get out of your cajon, which I think has a lot to do with your hand technique. You sound way better than many other serious cajon players, thats my humble opinion. I’m adjusting my cajon hits with your technique/hand movements as guide! You’re awesome!

[@HeidiJoubert]

Oh mam what beautiful words thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Sending you deepest sympathies on the lost of your Grandpapa. With prayers and blessings. Thanks for sharing this beautiful gospel song in 3/4 time. Pls excuse my lack of music theory but is this also know as triplets? I actually love this time signature.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Yes triplets, because the each of the 3 beats are subdivided into 3, so that constitutes as triplets indeed. You are not that bad with Music theory it appears! Glad you liked the lesson!

Will this work for most any 3/4 time gospel?

[@HeidiJoubert]

Only if they are in a shuffle style, but yes there are loads of other gospel songs in 3/4 that uses this EXACT pattern!

[@Antonio-ti2he]

Is it hat you are hitting the cajon on the beat and the "a" for example 1 e + a? So you are playing the cajon on the 1 and the "a" ? Thank you in advance for your reply?
