You play the head then we trade 2 choruses and then you play and then take the melody out.
You know the drill. This is the tune Four.
You write in the chords, study my voicings.
Are they rootless?
What parts of the chords are there.
Then play it.
The second chorus is a simple solo outling the harmony.
Stand Behind Your Instrument!
Annie is my girlfriend. We live together. she is a very good classical flute player. We sight read together a lot...... and she laughs at me sometimes. My sight reading is not that good.
This post is during the time of the Corona Virus, maybe by the end of this, I'll be a much better sight reader. We will see.
So, I've attached the duet part. Practice it and play along with annie! You can get a chance to be in my shoes!
You can listen here to both parts.
Down load the other file which is just one part and then add your part.
Any questions let me know.
You're assignment is to learn the melody.
Post a comment here that says you know it, or post a video of you playing simply the melody. Do this before you go on to lesson two.
I added the lead sheet below.
These are individual tracks each of one note on the vibraphone.
Download this. Put it on your phone like a CD.
Play the "album", set it to shuffle. Play a note, stop it. Find it on your instrument. Eventually You'll be able to let it play and follow it. It's super great ear training.
Just do it, 5-10 minutes a day. After a while, 5 is plenty.
Don't go fishing for the write note. Use your ears if you play a wrong note. Sing you're note if it's wrong and then sing the other note.
Don't waste a lot of time thinking,'use the force'.
