Ok, when I say the vibes are more like a guitar than a piano, this is what I mean. Check this cat out and think about this. If that was a set of vibes and the same notes came out, can you see how we could totally do that on the vibes. It would fit all the parts he's playing, the concepts, everything.

That's what I mean, as vibe players that's what I think we're going after with 4 mallets. For me the piano implies separation between the hands and the vibes are about integration between the hands.

Johan plays my arrangement of 'On Green Dolphin Street' and does a real good job of it. The arrangement is in the 'Good Vibes Book' here.

Ways to practice scales.

Chinese translation for Chinese students
第一件事，如果你要打8度上行，可以試著打到第九音在下行，這樣聽起來比較悅耳。

再來可以練習小調，Dorian（大調降3,7）, 旋律小音階Melodic minor scale。

等到你熟了一點後，可以打在不同的調上，可以用半音轉調練各種不同調，或是用四度轉調。

Peptalks, thinking outloud, ohhhmmmmm, Yoda kind of stuff!

A little pep talk about consistency. Maybe valuable, maybe not!
