Cajon Tutorial: Basic Beat Lesson

Here's a quick video tutorial to help you get started with the cajon. Obtaining this fairly simple understanding of creating beats on the cajon will help you set some foundations for your future playing. Something to remember is that when attempting difficult things on an instrument we often refer back to the simpler things we learnt.
