Here's a lesson on breaking up chords, and leaving notes out.

For this month's "chords and harmony" topic I've written up an article focusing on tensions and several ways to use them effectively when comping. Some of the areas discussed include:

• using tensions to indicate major or minor tonal center
• available tensions for maj7, min7, min7(b5), dom7, and dim7 chords
• adding tensions to a blues progression

Hope you find it helpful.

Although this is xylo lesson, if you're a begining vibe improviser definitely check this lesson out.

Here's my review of the many things we discussed with the blues.

So we're about to start studying chords and harmony. In my usual fashion I have no idea what we're going to do. I figure it's like this: There are a lot of vibe players here and we can collectively use all our minds together and really grow. It's really not just up to me, it's up to us. All in all we're making a huge collection of information about the vibraphone. We are all working and learning about this instrument and passing the information on!
