Chordal Playing Rev. - Part 1

tonymiceli 1 January 2025

Here is a lesson with an etude. I use the tune Green Dolphin Street and I play a chordal solo. There's very little that monophonic here. I tried to hit always with 2,3 or 4 mallets. 

I played a few choruses of Green Dolphin Street and transcibed it. 

I also talk about little bit about this series. I will continue it by doing a video for each of the technical ways I am doing this. 

 

Check out the transcription below.

Feedback and mics

Randy_Sutin 28 December 2024

The big enemy in live sound with an instrument like the vibes is feedback.  That’s not just the horrible screeching sound when it gets out of control, however.  It’s those weird resonances that happen when you play certain notes in certain rooms with certain mics in certain positions.
