Description

This course is about getting to know the cajon and playing it. Matthias has given literally thousands of workshops all over the world and and has been working on developing the cajon since it´s earliest beginnings as a manufactured instrument. It is debatable if there is another person on the planet who has smacked a cajon more often than Matthias Philipzen. Hands on playing experience and grooving with your instrument is what learning cajon is about. In this course you learn the proper and best hand techniques for creating a good sound on your instrument. As well as solid grooves and fills for all popular styles of music. The concept of the videos is to create flow and continuous development. This course was designed to be as close as one can get to a real private lesson with Matthias. Here you will get a close, intense look and feel at all the fundaments, the techniques and all the possibilities of the Cajon. You will also learn a lot about rhythm and music in general. All you need is a cajon and some time!
