Most double seconds are used to play a mixture of chords and supporitng melody, i mean you should hear Merry Widow Waltz on the double seconds, or even Love theme for the godfather it sounds beautiful, sorta like the Viola in a Viol orchestra

brilliant, these free videos are extremely helpful for anyone starting up a steelband, especially with children. I have found limited and even a 'secretcy' surrounding getting help from the steelband community in the uk.

Hi Alan,

I really appreciate, that you are trying to represent the Trinidad culture, but I will also like you to take time and visit Trinidad where you can develop your technique, which will allow you to have a better understanding and truly present this unique and passionate instrument. It is nice to see you trying, but could you also leave video space for other steel pan players who would like to express themselves. Thank-you for respecting culture.
