要聽到大調major和Dorian音階的差別，重點就在，一定要建立在同一個根音上，才聽得出來音階色彩的差別。
I love independence on the vibes. I like making things work that shouldn't work. A bass line is usually something I don't waste time on, however there's a trick here. It's an illusion. Once you set the bass line up you don't have to keep it going. Just come back to it once in a while! The only other thing is that the line has to make sense and also sound good. You can't just work out some stuff and play it. It has to accompany what the improvisation. That means the bass line has to be improvised as well!
Talks about the modes of the Major Scale.

Ionian 的結構：比如以C因爲起頭音，一路上行，8個音中間半音全音的關係。全全半全全全半。
你可以用這樣的方式，找到七個調式音階，音根音中間的關係。
然後把這樣半全音的關係，套在不同起頭音（不同調）上面。
Dorian是全半全全全半全。
Behn Gillece plays and talks about My Ideal.
Here's a how to with the grip that I play with.
OOOOOOPPPPPPPSSS I forgot to mention ONE THING!! Put the outside stick on top of the inside stick, JUST LIKE THE Burton grip.
If you haven't subscribed, subscribe and learn more about this grip.
I found out that my favorite vibe player Victor Feldman used this grip! That's cool!
I was playing minor arpeggios and heard Chopin Valse, so I started fooling around with it in Cm (which was the arpeggio I was working on). I later dug out the music and found it was in C#m, so I had to relearn it. I am trying to work out a musically satisfying arrangement for the vibes.
This video is in 3 parts containing some sketches of the arrangements with 2 mallets. Eventually I want to get to use 4 mallets.
The first video is the A part in Cm. The second video is the A part in C#m. The third video is the B part in C#m.
Well..... We didn't talk about all of the vibraphone techniques but we got a bunch in here!!
Patty talks about the Steven's Grip, how to use it and why she likes it!
Patty Franceschi plays Etude 27 from Dave Friedman's Book Dampening and Pedaling. This is a must get book for all vibes players!!!
