Comping with walking bass-like line

I've always admired of how well piano players can play changes with walking bass lines. It's not so easy to accomplish on vibes. The way I attempt this requires some mallet dampening to keep everything sounding full and clean.

To get started you might try writing out a walking line to practice with, but ultimately you want to be able to create your voicings and "walking bass" spontaneously.

Creating a Chord Melody

This is a little lesson I just came up with on approaching chord melodies. I starting with a simple melody and devloped three variations. The lesson is a PDF and I've included a little MP3 of me demonstrating the examples so you can get an idea of what they might sound like. My intention was to give some ideas about how to put some of the voicings demonstrated in other lesson here on this site into practice, in addition to some other options. I hope some of you find it helpful.

An Interesting 4 Mallet Exercise

This is a transcription of Bach's 2 part invention no. 13. The range has been adjusted to 3 octaves so it can be played on vibes and marimba. Both parts are 90% arpeggios, so using 4 mallets will make it easier to execute the lines. You can download the manuscript [HERE]

Note to Tony: How about allowing uploads of pdf files on video posts so I don't have to keep putting in these external links to the manuscript?
