Just a quick video talking about a conceptual sort of thing. Working on going from here to there!
Helllo all. We are going to have a live internet tv station every Wednesday night a starting at 7 PM. The site is alternatemode.tv
It is a mogulus station. If you want to participate and perform live, let me know (mariokatman@gmail.com)
Besides performances, it will be a place to get your questions answered live. The focus for now will be the malletKAT.
Hope to see you there.
unfortunatley this band does not exist anymore cause the singer moved away, too bad it was fun playing with that quartett and it was my first real band where i played vibes...this recording is about 4 years old but i found it today in my "archieves" and liked the arrangement cause of the odd meter and thought maybe you like it 2...
Why The Pros and Companies Should Keep a Weekly or Bi-weekly Blog.
I was thinking, you know if every monday the pros on the site put out a blog about what they're up to and what they're thinking it could be a very cool thing. First you would get people checking in on you blog due date, reading and thinking about you. It's a place you could mention cds and workshops, what's happening, what you're practicing, etc.
Here's a PDF with the G half whole scale. It's a scale that outlines a G7 b9 chord. I ask the question what if the chord was a G7 b9 #5, what would the scale be. Write it out and send it to me!
Here's another track from one of my most favorite bands. My alter ego.
Wow I bet Tarik posting his band singing Johnny Cash Tunes got me into this. Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Now you might think this is corny, however if one of us got into a smoking famous commercial band playing something other than jazz it would do a lot of good for our instrument.
I liked playing in this band and taking the place of the other guitar and trying to fit into that role.
By Lindsay Gilmour And The Organic Planet Band
You know one of my favorite bands I every played with was a folk band. I really miss it. It's kind of cool playing music that's a little more accepted. Did I say a little? A lot.
I love this tune and thought I'd post it. There's one on this CD where I play marimba! I'll post that also.
Since there seems to be some interest in spontaneous playing on the part of several "vibesworkshoppers" I thought I'd include the Generation Band's first live attempt at a free groove piece. It stays pretty much in D minor throughout. The challange is to create interest through interaction, melodic development and rhythmic interplay.
the duet is on the site. it's on the front page at this point.
listened to you more. think about your voicings. make sure the harmony stands out. compare to mine and we can talk next time we have a lesson. off to bed.
