This piece is the 1st movement from Bach's violin sonata # 1. There's lots of opportunity for mallet dampening. The goal is to get it to sound full and resonant, but very clean. As you move from chord to chord use good dampening and/or pedaling to make sure no notes from the previous chord ring into the current chord; making it sound sloppy.

The tempo is really slow, with an 8th note set to about 50 on the metronome. A pdf of the manuscript is included HERE

hey,

since tony posted so much stride stuff i thought i will try something on that. i choose moonglow. this was my best attempt out of 4. i put on a tiny brush snare and cymbal to work as metronom (you like it marie?) and to work on my timing, since i tend to rush always.

i think the feel is ok but i need more practice on the movement of the left hand during the solo.

Brazilian music.

With the chords festival, the topic of grooves arose and one of them is brazilian rhythm(s).
I personally lived (in the 80th) some years in Brazil as a professional musician and since then I lead a MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) group and a Batucada (street percussion band), both playing samba, samba reggae, partido-alto, afoxé, maracatu, and bossa-nova , musica-cansão, baião, choro, in addition for the MPB group. I had the opportunity to play with numerous brazilian players and singers during my career and I keep doing so. That’s for my credentials…

Hello. This is a new lesson on the chords and harmony festival 2011. I am talking about how you can play a minor melodic chord or scale over a maj 7 chord. I hope you find this helpfull. If there are any questions, let me know.

Thank you

Dimitris
