Tony Lesson 4 : head, improv, comping, and head out
Here's a new video of an old song.
Keep in mind, since making these videos, I now play the Dmaj 7 in the 7th bar. I got schooled by David Friedman for doing it the Bill Evans way and now I love the Dmaj7 and know the history of the tune!
Hello all,
Here's another lesson on dampening, and specifically how it can be used to achieve a certain stride-like feel on vibes. I use this technique when playing solo and with a trio and love its possibilities for different articulations and textures. Watch my lessons on staccato and partial dampening first if you haven't already seen them.
A crazy mental exercise in improvisation! This will help your dampening skills as well as your ears and your overall understanding of the instrument.
Hello all,
Just a quick lesson on ending ballads (or any tune, really). I demonstrate a few different options for the final chords on a ballad so you don't always have to end on 1 or the b2. Let me know if there are any questions!
