Sekuru Simon Mashoko (Gwenyambira) built this njari for me over 21 years ago. He passed away before I was able to collect it, and I assumed it was lost for good. Thanks to my friend Glenn West for finding it and returning it to me!

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
Hey Jawad. Good to hear from you, old friend! I hear you on that difficulty, and it’s mine too! It’s hard when the family doesn’t understand that I just need to spend all day every day practicing! 🤣
@@JoelLaviolette Good to hear from you too! Indeed, that's the key, right, actually tackling the list. Clearly, I don't practice nearly enough, ha ha. I've been doing musical "baby steps" for 30 years - guess I'm forever a toddler! 🙂 Cheers.
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)?
That's a great question! All the things on this list were important enough to me to be done at least every few days. Less important things tend to go on that little to-do list on the top (they often stay there a long time!). But the truth is, all of my "high priority" things can't get done in a day so low priority things just don't really even make it on my list.
Beautiful! Joel, who made your Mbira?
Thanks! That mbira was made by Leonard Chiyanike
Cool song, Great feel! I am in webster, TX. Hwy 3 and Pinloch. How much is an Mbira?
Thanks! Feel free to email me at Joel (at) Rattletree (dot) com to discuss.
so the third lowest key of the mbira ist ALWAYS the key it's in? it's always the third?
Some mavembe tuned mbiras have an extra bass key so in that case it’d be the 4th key, but if it has 7 bass keys then yes.
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
Go to learnmbira.com and fill out the form to access the lessons.
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!
Best of luck with your request!
@@JoelLaviolette ..thank you!
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?
Dande is an area in north-eastern Zimbabwe. It’s a spiritual hub and where one of the main mhondoro spirits (Ambuya Nehanda in Muzarabani) is based.
I wish this had tabs
Right on. I don’t have time to do it but maybe you can find a guitar teacher in your area that you can get to do it. Good luck!
everytime i try this method ableton 11 crashes...its really sad, is there a better way right now?
Hey-sorry man. This is such an old video, I’m sorry I haven’t tried it on ableton 11. If it’s actually crashing then it makes me think there must be some internal issues with Maschine since it’s not even supported any more. Good luck!
What tuning is this guitar in?
Just standard tuning
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
Right on. This is a few years old, so hopefully still relevant in the latest Cubase. I haven't checked. 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?
Hi Betty. That's an interesting question. I don't think I can give a good answer to that, but I would bet you money that you will find people that will adamantly tell you "yes" and others that will tell you"no"! What I can say is that I've never been personally told that I should not sing certain things on certain songs. I think of these as more like concepts that a singer may want to express, so if that expression wants to be said in that moment, the singer would sing the line-regardless of the song. That's why you hear the same line sung by a singer over different songs. it's about the idea, not the song. At the end of the day, it is all about context and so the more you know, the better you can provide something appropriate for the context. I hope that helps.
Thanks for sharing, good luck with this series of learning about Shona culture through proverbs and mbira music.
Thanks for listening, David!
Waita basa!

Hey Joel, thanks for sharing this! Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks Michael! I’m not sure if I’ll continue with the free access for these, but for sure I’ll do it on Patreon. In any case, I’m sure you’ll see my posts about it. :-)
Hey Joel, as a beginning mbira player, I thought this was a really elegant explanation. Many thanks for this. Have a great day yourself!
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This turned out to be a Nhemamusasa lesson. Thanks Joel.
I’m glad you liked it, my friend!
Fast and simple! Thanks
You bet!
Thank you for your your work and contribution to keeping this valuable skill accessible to people across the globe ❤️
My pleasure! Thanks for your support!
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
Hey there. 1) I don’t personally see the benefit of exporting to 64 bit float. Maybe if you were doing some audio forensics or space sound research or something, but with music...no. 2) once all tracks are summed then hopefully by following the -15 idea on individual tracks you will have something like -10 to -6 db to hand to the mastering engineer
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.
Right on-there are a few of us out there! :)
Tuning and Mbira maker please?
Hi Artwell. It’s a Nyamaropa tuning built by Leonard Chiyanike
Beautifully played. Really beautiful. Glad I found you
Thanks for listening. :-)
Hey Joel - Hope you are well. Lovely music.
Hey Jawad. Good to hear from you! Doing pretty well. Just hoping to get back to live music one of these days soon!
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.!
Aw shucks!
Thanks Joel, nice to hear from you. I miss those Mbira Mondays!
Thanks for listening TJ! I hear you, that’s one of the things I miss, too.
Man you make miss home hahaha ndafunga kumba
