Excellent lesson. I've been wanting to structure my cajon practice other than playing along to songs I like. The metronome really is very useful. Thank you for a very good lesson. God bless!

This is everything an instructional cajon video should be; simple but so effective. What sort of gear did you use to film it?

@WilliamJohnsonmusic

Thank you! It’s been several years no so I hardly remember. Interestingly, I had not intended for it to be a public video but rather for a student to watch in an unlisted link. I think I recorded it rather quickly on my phone… or one of those small cameras that were popular about ten years ago.

Hello! It can be but doesn’t have to. The idea is to be able to use both hands.

Why is it important to switch hands?

@WilliamJohnsonmusic

2 жыл бұрын

Hello. Having the ability to switch hands gives you more versatility. If you can only play certain things with one hand you will ultimately be limited, especially if you are in a situation where you need to play a shaker or other instrument while playing the cajon. It’s not a necessity but it can help you to express yourself better on the instrument.

Most likely because I just used the camera mic for this video. This particular video was actually for a private lesson that I later made public here on KZread several years ago.
