Meant to be yours

The more I learn on my new nyamaropa mbira the more I realize these songs he played are insanely skilled variations. Respect, and Bravo

beautiful

These are really good tips! Actually good tips for any live musician.

Best version of this song on RUclips… it sounds perfect on that mbira and I am completely hypnotized after noticing the baseline rhythm 😳

Gran explicación! Muchas garcias. Me super ayudo! Abrazo

Thanks for sharing Joel - helpful to see. I have developed my own over the years but it’s not as organized - my difficulty is actually getting through it and not getting side tracked. Hope you and your family are well - Cheers, Jawad

The thing about erasing the crosses at the end is such a great idea. A stark contrast to the steak method. I have a question tho, the tasks seem to be of equal importance. How would you differentiate between things that need to be done every day (for example studying a specific subject) from the ones that are "if possible, but not necessary" (like reading for leisure or studying another, less important subject)?

Beautiful! Joel, who made your Mbira?

Cool song, Great feel! I am in webster, TX. Hwy 3 and Pinloch. How much is an Mbira?

so the third lowest key of the mbira ist ALWAYS the key it's in? it's always the third?

This is good tutorial Joel keep up the good work. I had a confusion on differentiating some mbira tunings and this video came to solve my problem.

Sadu

If u can , can you also play tondobayana

Hi,how can I get hold of you im from Zimbabwe, i wanna learn mbira

What a beautiful story

Hi Joel I'd like an mbira teacher/player to come here to live in S.E. Az, near Douglas. I can house and feed that person for awhile, they can teach and we can play ... We have a small farm out of town, and a tourist town nearby to practice on the street for ambience. We are right near 2 border towns for easy access from Mexico. Thank you. I cannot use a computer anymore .. All the best!

This is an important topic you are discussing...thank you. It would be greatly helpful if you would include written text underneath spelling the mode's names so further research could be facilitated. Also, if you could connect, in text, the names of the renown mbira makers today with the mode's they are known for. It is my understanding that in Zimbabwe, among the Shona people, tunings are highly individual by players and they are know often for their personal tuning which would obviously be idiosyncratic.

Excellent

What does "dande" means?

I wish this had tabs

everytime i try this method ableton 11 crashes...its really sad, is there a better way right now?

What tuning is this guitar in?

Thank you for sharing. Due to a discussion about that matter I linked your video in the P42 Climax Line Amp thread in Gearspace. Cheers

Nice one Joel!

Very good tip. I was looking for a way to route mi MIX BUS to 2 tracks mono, so I could use my bus compressor in dual mono and not linked anymore (narrow image). Thanks.

Great video Joel. I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for making it easier.

I really enjoyed that breakdown of a very funny saying. Culturally, is there any reason to avoid putting a particular proverb on a particular song?

Thanks for sharing, good luck with this series of learning about Shona culture through proverbs and mbira music.

Waita basa!

Hey Joel, thanks for sharing this! Looking forward to the next one!

Hey Joel, as a beginning mbira player, I thought this was a really elegant explanation. Many thanks for this. Have a great day yourself!

This turned out to be a Nhemamusasa lesson. Thanks Joel.

Fast and simple! Thanks

Thank you for your your work and contribution to keeping this valuable skill accessible to people across the globe ❤️

Thanks for the vid man, found it very helpful. I have just upgraded to Cubase 11 pro and one of the selling features for me is to be able to set the meters (and colour them) so I did that at -15dB for this exercise. I am re-visiting an album project to re-mix and master I do my own mastering as don’t have the budget). Two questions please. 1: I usually export my mixes out at 32 bit floating but now could go 64 bit float, would that be worth it for the resolution / headroom? 2: So, is the overall goal to get the final mix peaking at around - 15 dB and export the mix out at that level for mastering? Many thanks again for your great video. Regards from me here in Scotland

joel Laviolette, as I'm scrolling through RUclips as I often do I randomly came across your channel. It blew me away because I'm 35 years old and I've never once came across anyone else with the same last name as me. I've actually never even came across anyone that knew how to pronounce it right. It's not like our last name is Smith or Brown.

Tuning and Mbira maker please?

Beautifully played. Really beautiful. Glad I found you

Hey Joel - Hope you are well. Lovely music.

Love ❤️ you Joel.. one of the great cultural inspirations around Austin. The work and music Joel plays goes beyond commercial emptiness to the places where the soul of love ❤️ and community really do come together. I am convinced we have hatched a New culture of emptiness and those who do not recognize truth and greatness and who overlook the humble movers and shakers in a truly spiritual world like LaViolette TX Marimba God + Co.!

Thanks Joel, nice to hear from you. I miss those Mbira Mondays!

Man you make miss home hahaha ndafunga kumba
