      C Major in this context is a chord. A chord is multiple notes grouped together. C major is the combination of the notes C, E and G. ON the Kalimba, assuming you're on normal tuning, the middle note is a C. The note next to is an E and the note next to E is a G. So, if you play those three notes using windshield wiper, you are playing a C Major chord :)
      It's okay to not know. I only because I compose and have an understanding of music theory.

  • @edisonwacc
    @edisonwacc 4 роки тому +8

    Thank you very much. These training and explanation are very helpful! I am very new to playing instrument. I do have two quick questions: 1) do we play the corresponding chord for the note that we play? For example, if the note is C, we play the C major chord? 2) does the octaves matter when we play the right chord? for example, if we are playing note C2. Does it matter if I play C4 chord or C2 Chord? Thanks a million.

    • @arjunsureshvarma2021
      @arjunsureshvarma2021 3 роки тому +1

      i dont think that matters, if you want to play a c major chord, then you can use both of the full c's, to make a proper chord instead of one. and if you want to play a different chord, like c#, you might wanna change the tuning

    thanks for the video! i'm curious, have you ever encountered the windshield wiper method being done in a downwards direction, as opposed to upwards? i'm not certain it's even possible with one's fingers actually

    • @KalimbaCam
      @KalimbaCam  4 роки тому +1

      Hi there. The windshield wiper method is usually only used upwards as it is quite hard to make a sound in a downwards direction and the sound doesn't come out nicely in a downwards direction.

    I don't know why, but I find it hard to do this! (especially when going left). I can't seem to slide it right. (I think tines are not all even and are like higher lower higher, etc.) but people seem to be able to do it lol.

    • @KalimbaCam
      @KalimbaCam  2 роки тому +1

      Usually, you would only use it for three tines. However, you can play four tines (this will often create a 7th chord) or more depending on the song.
