Thank you so much @Amy for this great high-quality content you put on RUclips ❤ This one definitely overwhelmed me, cause I’ve never played this baseline, neither swing nor practiced hand switching. And I’m an oldie and slooooow learner 😅 According to the neuroscience people after 25-30 learn so much slower than until 25-30 due to some chemistry and hormones in your body. Here are some key points how I managed to learn this one on my D Kurd within 30 minutes: 1. Set the stage: breathing, focusing on my handpan 2. Splitted the whole pattern roughly into following increments/parts: practicing swing, practicing the baseline, practicing only the first part of the baseline with swing, practicing the second baseline with swing, practicing switching hands, practicing playing only one note while swinging the first part of the baseline, practicing playing only one note while swinging the second part of the baseline, practicing switching hands while playing only one note.. Unfortunately I didn’t have enough time for improvisation, the 30 minutes timer was up. 3. 10 Seconds break during the 30 minutes practice. 4. Trying to enjoy any small achievement in between, like “switching the hands works 4 from 5 times” wow, cool, I improved, it sounds cooler 😎 Dopamine is so important here 🤩 I couldn’t imagine, that I can learn it within 30 minutes. Almost everything was new and I have limited cognitive abilities in terms of neuroplasticity . Even more, hand switching worked better at the end than in Amy’s video 🤪 Hopefully it can be helpful for someone 🙏
hahaaa you beat me with the hand switching! Nice work Pavel, these are such great tips. This comment will be super helpful for others too I'm sure. Thank you
@ haha 😄 it was not my intention, but to be honest, I enjoyed the results of my focused practice and was proud of it. And it’s always motivating to see when such great musicians like you authentically admit they have to work on something..👍
3 lessons in one video,: - a very interesting pattern - the proof by example of a way of working (starting calmly from the base when you are lost) - the work pays off. Thank you very much for your sharing, Friedships from France 💐
Amy, I really like your content! You are out there being genuine, showing us achievable melodies, sparkling away into infinity. Much love ❤ Thank you, keep it up!
I knew it! Seeing you struggling a bit at the shift, it was clear that I wouldn't get it at all. 😂😂😂 What a great exercise for right-left coordination. 😅
Great way to create a simple but nice basic pattern for 'one' hand and start playing/creating a simple melody with the other !!! Happy new year from Markus, germany
Dear Amy, at the ahe of 70 I bought my first handpan 2 weeks ago, fortunately enough I found your lessons to join. I like your little laughter when changing to the non-dominate hand... Shows me that even you are sometimes struggling with this... very sympathetic❤. Best wishes from Germany!
Haha, I was feeling quite confident that I could just play it there and then without practice ;) Teaching keeps you humble. Thanks so much, welcome to the wonderful world of handpan
@@AmyNaylorMusic If I may: when you become too good at something, you reach a level defined as "unconsciously competent": you do it (very well) without having to think. Having to teach it to someone else forces you to return to a level called "consciously competent" (what do I do really to get there?), ... and you start to get confused! It's disturbing, but it's not a regression, on the contrary, it's the ultimate development of the skill. I'm so lucky to have found your channel, thank you!
Hi Amy, how is your relation with neotone?? i don't own anymore any metal pans and considering moving to digital , any change you do similar content on your one?
I love the neotone, though it doesn't replace the handpan for me. It's a very different thing. I'll definitely be publishing more videos on it after handpanuary
Not sure if you mentioned it, but are you using the same scale pan for all these classes? And if so, what scale? I’m thinking that one here is an F?? But not sure …. 🤔 …… 🛸🎶🦋
@@handpanphil This one also works great on my Pulsar Tongue Drum with Celtic tuning, I used the same tonefields for the chords as Amy did in the video.
Hey Debbie, across the month there'll be tutorials on the D Kurd, E Sabye, C# Pygmy, E Amara and - as in this video - F Low Pygmy. I've written on the thumbnail and in the video description which scale each tutorial is for, so keep an eye out in those places
Thank you very much, Amy, for this great tutorial. attached a link to my version. Best regards! Flo ruclips.net/video/XuQnIa5iqIQ/видео.htmlsi=aqS-EmIQ-kYk5XTc

@@pavelg1403yes super helpful to me , thank you, I feel I learn really slowly now a days but once I get into the flow it’s a wonderful feeling ❤️
Thank you for letting us watch you struggle with switching sides. It feels better knowing I'm not the only one!
You're really not the only one!
Thanks so much! You are really providing some new inspiration ❤❤❤ which I badly need, without having to spend hours
I'm so glad!

Thanks so much. Yay!
Woop woop pygmy!! Thank you! 😊
There are three more coming this month!
I knew it!
Seeing you struggling a bit at the shift, it was clear that I wouldn't get it at all. 😂😂😂
What a great exercise for right-left coordination. 😅
Haha keep practicing!! I couldn't do it once either (clearly haha)
Your lessons keep helping me develop further in my playing, thank you very much for that, miss ❤

Glad you like it!
Thank you for these video series! It's nice to share your handpan experience with us! 😊😊😊
Thanks 🙏🏾

That swing sounds really unique on a pygmy scale.
You don't hear it often!
Yay! Thank you so much for this!
That sounds great, thank you!
love u❤
Sweet!
I am so cack handed and unco-ordinated I’m finding it hard to add the melody with the other hand!
Move slow. Give it time. Be kind!

No she is using 3 or 4 different scales. Each day, I'm just doing an interpretation of her lesson based on the notes and layout I have

@@Annette19598 nice!

@ .. Thanks girlfriend!! I scanned it but clearly missed that!! Appreciate the info!! Great videos by the way!! 💕🛸🎶🦋
I bet you count, don't you? It sounds precise and groovy.
Yep, always, until it becomes completely embodied
@AmyNaylorMusic if you don't mind I have one more question. When you play ghost notes are your right and left hands synchronized or independent?
HELP! I'm buying a handpan next week, but I know NOTHING about instruments nor notes. Some say G minor, D minor... HELP! 😂 😂😂
A lot of my tutorials are in D minor, so that would be easier to follow. But really, it's all translatable!
@AmyNaylorMusic Enough said. D minor it is. 🤣
Here's a little phrase that might help every one - Ding note tak note, Ding note tak note
Thank you very much, Amy, for this great tutorial.
