Thinking about dampening, deadstroking, voicings, and independence while still trying to swing. I've also been on a verse-learning kick recently, so I included the verse as an intro and ending. Lesson video on these techniques coming soon!
Hey Vibrafans,
The October edition of Good Vibes will air this Sunday (October 3) and rebroadcast on October 6.
As always, it is filled with an eclectic mix of tunes that have either been written for the vibraphone or adapted for it.…
The best thing about a jazz swing bass line is it does 2 things. The first is it is supposed to outline the chord changes very clearly. The second is in it's main function it insists on being played on each beat. A great way to study…
Ok, I was going to put the chords in, but I always get mad at myself when I do that. I'm making it easier for you guys and that's not how you get good!
So you put the chords in, put the extensions in and analyze the music and play it.
Can…
This is a good one!!
Thanks to David Patrois. One of his students told me he does this.
I have played 12 tone rows before but never like this. Making one up, and playing in all the keys.
Very cool lifetime exercise!
here is my 12 tone…
