Tutorials

The aim of this tutorial series (dorombsuli) is to teach the beginners to the fundaments of the Jew's harp playing and give advice to more experienced players on how to step further. Advanced players can find some techniques that they had known differently or hadn't known at all before. I tried to avoid describing the culture-specific playing styles (Yakut, Austrian, Sicilian etc.)

These tutorials are meant to be just hints and guidelines and I honestly hope that all of you will improve their playing techniques way beyond the level of these videos. 

This video is a tutorial to the groove I'm playing in the song Pangea by the band Navrang (the low Jew's harp, not the high one). This is a 5/4 beat, to put it simply it means that theere are four sounds in one bar. The video first shows you the whole groove, then the simpler first simpler variant, then the more difficult variant with tremolo. You just have to repeat and there you go. DU-tata-DU-ta. DU: pluck+breath, ta: pluck (without breath).
