This is the final upgrade of this year for this vibe. I'm heading out for another 8 to 9 month deployment to Antarctica but when I return (in Mid-July, 2018), I'll put the final toughes on this instrument and make 5 to 10 frames that will…

I met Miss Jones this morning (and all at once I lost my breath, and all at once was scared to death), and then I e-mailed the vibes-bass-dms track to my friend J.B. down in the South of France. JB put the piano on top. The ending is one…

THE VIBE is getting closer to what I want in an instrument! You're seeing it here as it develops. Last year when I was deploying to Antarctica for the second time, I built a new vibraphone to take with me (this isn't it). As usual, I was…

Here's another triad pair. They're used a lot by guitar players, but I think they really apply to our instrument.

Check out the sound track. Great! Here's what my buddy John Keene wrote me. This is the season 1 finale of Peter Gunn (episode 38 which is hard to believe they used to do 35+ episodes per season for these old shows). There are a few…

What I find interesting is making personal arrangement by playing all the parts on MIDI keyboard and acoustic vibes all over. You learn the tune then in the least detail.

Chinese translation is for Chinese students 這邊講到如何在四個音的和弦上,只移動一個音,就可以換到下個和弦。 打開PDF,看到第一行,是最基本的2-5-1-6的和弦進行。 從Aminor7中,移動5音(G)到下一個和弦D7的三音(F#)。 然後第二小節Gmajor7的根音(G)移動到下個和弦E9的三音(G#) 依此類推,你可以看到下一行也是用這樣的方式, 只移動一個音到鄰近的音,但是整個和弦聲音都變了。 甚至是第三行,…

Chinese translation is for Chinese students 如果你是一個沒有時間練琴的人,你更應該在練琴的時候, 練一些有音樂性的東西,而不是練一些無聊的技巧練習。 所以今天這個練習可以幫助你增加音樂性,並且讓你的音樂性聽力更強。 隨機選一個動機(Tony是演奏三個音開離位置的動機) 仔細聽看看這些音想要移動到哪一個調性哪一個音,不要有巨大的音成跳躍移動, 盡量保持小音程距離的移動。 從這個練習你會慢慢增進你的音樂性聽力。
