That's me bringing the vibes to the people at my wedding over the weekend. I did a little version of Stevie Wonder's "You and I" before the first dance. She let me buy a second instrument (M75) last year, so I think she's a keeper!

I hear some stuff similar to Walt Dickerson. I mean the out playing. The instrument does lend itself to playing a lot of crazy notes. I think when musical players do this it's great.

Here's a simple study to get you started with the 'bebop' blues. I always thought of the 'Blues For Alice' changes as a rebellion against the blues. Maybe this is not accurate but it explains a couple things for me personally. When you…

Here's a two chorus line etude on Minority. Take notice of some of the diatonic phrases in the beginning. Remember that even simple ideas can really outline the chord if you end on 3rds and 7ths in the right way!

The Modes In Detail - Lydian

Content type: Video Upload

Sharp the 4! Chinese Translation for Chinese students 如果拿Lydian 音階和大調（major）音階來比較，Lydian音階多了升4音。西城故事最有名的片段，用到Lydian。在Disney音樂中也很常用到。如果是四級大調和弦，通常會用到Lydian(因為Major #11) 例如Gmajor-Cmajor, C是G的四級，所以聲響上面還是都以G調為基礎，所以這邊的C就可以用到聲四音（#F）

David Friedman

Content type: Audio Player

I just started improvising on one of my favorites; Up Jumped Spring, by F.H. Can you guess who that is? If not you'll have to do minimal research! :-) I thought it would be a nice change to start the melody in the bass.
