In this video I'll cover different strategies and approaches for creating coherent lines with the altered scale.
If you haven't done please make sure to watch first the part 1
Hope you can get something helpful out of this lesson.

There is an M55G on Facebook Marketplace that's been there for a few weeks.
I know NOTHING about this person or if it's a scam. However, if I lived closer I'd sure give it a look. If you do a FB marketplace search on "Musser Vibraphone…
Some choruses based upon Tony Miceli's written out chorus which is available for download from The Vibes Workshop. The first chorus is Tony's written out solo while the subsequent choruses are improvised using some of Tony's specific notes…
Two things to know about Justin Vibes.
He's a top notch vibe player.
He's an incredible musician.
And he has his own agenda and I think it's super cool.
Hello everyone,
In the last lesson, I explained how to methodically go through all possible extensions for a chord, and, in this one, we will look at the different options for rearranging those notes. You can use inversions, and spread…

Here is how you do this.
4 bars at a time. That for the most part 2 chords at a time. At the end of the tune it's one bar per chord instead of 2 in the beginning.
So what you do is print this out.
Do the first 4 bars in every key.

I just bought a used A=440 Yamaha YV-3710. Love the sound, and the motor is absolutely silent. I am playing along with iReal Pro live in the room from my computer speakers picked up by my AMT 404 mics -> Mackie 802-VLZ3 mixer ->…
If you have the screw/compression casters and your wheels are wobbly on your M55/M48 (it may work on others), it may be that the rubber inside that is worn out or soft. I got replacement 7/8" compression rubber and the spacers on Ebay and…
So, one of my early mentors was a pianist in whose band I played several times a week. Often we would be rehearsing one of his new tunes and he would comment on my solos. More than once he said some version of "Yeah, I hear that you're…
Hello all,
Here is my last lesson on chord scales for now. This one focuses on minor and half-diminished chords, and where to play certain scales. I will also soon upload an etude to go along with these lessons, making use of the scales…
Here is what I decided to call a tool box.
There is a solo, a chord study and a bass line for you to use as accompaniment.
Work hard on this there is a lot here!
I have been playing the changes of Just In Time, lately.
And I always think in terms of solo playing and holding four mallets.
When you're playing lots of notes, you don't need chords. At this tempo, I'm mostly playing 8 notes in a bar. I…
Hey All,
I'm just holding myself accountable here by following through with posting assignments Tony has given me on my zoom lesson with him from Sept. Tony has been great in helping me stay focused with my practice time as I continue to…
I hope you're working on Just In Time.
No matter what level you are at, it's worth it to work along with us.
Even just learning the melody and the chords is something.
If you're knew at this, read through one of the etudes or solos.…
Here is one chorus of Just In Time, unaccompanied.
It's best if you transcribe it, then use my pdf to check it.
Regardless of how you learn the solo, you should memorize it. Then play it for a few days and then start moving it around the…
Hey All,
Put December 5th on your calendar for the December edition of Good Vibes. 8pm eastern,
jazzon2. And Dec 8 at 4pm.
There's a sprinkling of holiday/winter tunes, a dash of standards, a dollop of rock and pop remakes on Where Jazz…
Did this for a student. I have gotten really good at going from start to finish with these solos in about 10 minutes or less. That is recording them and turning them into sheet music! It's a good skill!
You should be able to play this and…
Hello all,
This is a topic I've been wanting to cover for awhile, and I finally made a video on. I think this is something that jazz education (at least in my experience) hasn't covered enough. It's how, in the key of C, you need to play…
