Triad Pairs are a cool notion. After this lesson you can probably make up your own.
WHOOOPS! IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS I SAY CMAJ AND CMIN I MEAN C MAJ AND DMIN.

Here's a clip from when I was at Mike's factory. I thought I posted this here but I can't find it.
Mike Balter is a member now of vibesworkshop.com!
If you don't know Mike he's just the most fun, easy going, coolest guy and knows more about mallets then probably anyone on the planet. He's a real stick meister.
He has done SO much for the mallet world. We're lucky to have him!!
He said he'll answer any mallet questions he can, so if you have any questions feel free to post here.
WELCOME MIKE!! YOU DA MAN!
Come Hang Out!!
Mario asked me to make a video playing the Mallet Kat for his Wednesday night hang over at Alternate mode.
Here it is, my alter ego, a rock guitarist!
