I couldn't figure my asteman out... I now know the notes. Thank you! I have a D Minor kurd and now I am now confident I bought a good pan and that I can play. Two thumbs up.
Hi Rosie! Thanks so much for the lovely tutorial. I play the piano and just ordered my first Dm celtic handpan from Isthmus and am anxious waiting for its arrival. You really made the scale so understandable. I'm excited to try your technique!
Amazing !! thanks so much! when only exploring without "knowing" about those chords I tend to get stuck in certain patterns and suddenly feel limited to my habit of striking alsways the same notes... its really difficult to break out of that habit but this gives me so much to try out.
Yay amazing, I'm so glad this is useful, yes working through all of the chords can be such a fun way of breaking out of a rut! Have you found any new favourite chords now?
Thanks, Rosie! This is GREAT! At Pantasia, you mentioned there were a couple other videos that you've made for other pan scales. Can you direct me to those as well? Looking forward to finally memorizing my chords and coming up with some new epic things on the pan!! Woot woot!
Not to worry, if you hear to my Handpan Fundamentals playlist the very first one is about good posture which might be a handy place to start for you. Keep going and don't worry about getting everything 'right' straight away... ☺️
@@RosieBergonzi I I think it's because I got thick short thighs and when I sit, my stomach pokes out a bit which leaves my hand pan less room and surface area to evenly be place. I might have to get a proper drum stand or devise a contraption that can support the hand pan while sitting on the ground without muffleing the sound hole at the bottom 🤷♂️
So helpful! I have a D Minor Vibedrum, so I'm missing the entire scale; but I have a much better understanding of how to group the notes into chords and progressions. I'm missing E and Bb. I've started tapping out a few songs and I use D3 and F3 simultaneously as an E3 replacement. D4 and G4 for E4 substitution. Sometimes it works without sounding "ringy." Sometimes the dissonance bubbles hurt my eyes, but at least I know when I get it wrong.
Dissonance bubbles is such a good way to say it! I love that our ears can always tell us if its 'right or wrong', music theory just gives us some clues as to why! I'm really glad its useful.
@@RosieBergonzi I have synesthesia and can see sound. I've always wanted to play an instrument, but every one that I tried affected me in certain ways that made practicing a struggle. I tried guitar for years, but I couldn't put in the practice hours. Then some wonderful person invented tongue drums and another wonderful person gave one to my son. I had to buy my own. It's the only instrument I've ever been able to play for hours and not feel discomfort or pain from the mistakes. I still get the dissonance bubbles in my eyes if I make a really bad strike, but that's nothing compared to what the cello or violin can do to me. I'm 40 and I can finally learn music. I'm saving up for a Rav Vast C Golden Gate. I'll be selling my guitar for Vast money.
@@vanessahenderson9434 That's so cool, its beautiful that you've found an instrument that works for you! I have a golden gate too, I love it, such a wonderful scale! Good luck in your hunt for one, I'm happy for you :)
Thank you so much for the video instruction. I have been playing my hand pans for a couple years and learned more from this video than any other. I play straight from the heart and your cord explanations will go a long way in helping me to stay out of a rut. My other hand pan is a B Low Minor. Do you have a video which breaks that scale into chords? I will be going through your videos…you are very talented and I love some of your work on the keyboards.
Wow this instrument sounds so good😄...where can i buy this online ? How much does it cost? As I am totally new to this can we trust online to buy good one
I am considering the logistics of Steel Mountain! It would be AMAZING if I could make it over and see everyone :) Fingers crossed things align and I can make it happen....But if not then, then soon it will come together I'm sure 🤞🏽
@@RosieBergonzi Thank you so much. So if I buy a D minor handpan it is the same thing as D Kurd handpan? Or is the difference the way you play it? Sorry, novice here :) Just wanna make sure I buy the right one.
Hello, sorry it's unclear to you. I use a system based on the notes of the scale, to help with understanding the harmony of the pan. There are two 5s because the fifth note in the scale (in this case 'A') appears twice on this pan. This means when you come to make a chord with an A in you have multiple options. Does that help clarify?
