This couldn't be easier. Play these with all kinds of patterns. For instance, the exercise with CDEFG make it CDEGB with the same sticking.
I've 'carried' these around with me for years and years.

Jazz on marimba is getting more attention! Bassist Brian Casey and I explore my tune Tu Te Paries Ta Vie at CU Boulder.
Doug WALTER, vibes with Brian Casey, bass live at U.of Colorado Boulder 2020

Also, if you've been thinking about upgrading to the PIPERvibe Gel Pad or purchasing my new book "Seven Songs For Vibraphone" or any physical (not digital) items in the store , now's the time. With each order for a limited time, I'll including a complete full instrument set of bar post insulators (90 insulators).
A tune I really like by Monk. Working on adding some chords over improv, its a trial and error thing so its a slow burner, anyway comments advice tips all welcome
Thanks in advance
