Community Chosen Tutorial : Noku Mana (Curawaka) | Beginner Tutorial | Tabs & Chord sheet for download (Patreon)

September's poll winner:

Noku Mana by Curawaka.

Difficulty level: Beginner - Intermediate

About the tutorial

In the beginner tutorial I break down the song's chords, fingerpicking pattern, strumming pattern & counting.

The song has a tricky pattern (in terms of where the chord changes), I explain two systems of mastering the song's pattern: understanding the "mathematical" pattern with counting (explained in the video), or using the lyrics/chord sheet (available for download) to see where the chord changes in relation to the lyrics.

Noku Mana live masterclass

For participants of the "Be the community" prelaunch program, I will host a live masterclass on Nov. 5, 10:00 CET

In the masterclass I will discuss the "grounding" process of the song, and provide practice instructions & recommendations.  How to break the tutorial into step-by-step daily practice routine to master it.

There will be room for Q&A, and the recording will be available afterwards for the program participants, via our online Video Learning Platform.
