In this video we apply the melodic structures into a basic Im-bVI-IIm7b5-V7alt minor cadence using the proper cell for each chord:

m7: 1-b3-4-5

Maj7: 1-2-3-5 

m7b5: 1-b3-4-b5

dom7: 1-b9-3-5 or 1-b9-3-#5 or 1-#9-3-#5

Hi Vibes Lovers in this lesson I talk about a powerful tool that I got from Gerry Bergonzi called melodic structures. 

Those are motivic cell used for creating melodies: 

1-2-3-5 in Major

1-b3-4-5 in minor

Like usual, get the melody down. Know it well and play it well. Think about phrasing, rhythm and time! 

This is very cool. It's amazing to see how people play mallet instruments. Their set ups and their use.

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to arrange more lately for my trio/other small groups. Here's my arrangement of Cedar Walton's "Bolivia." Hope you enjoy!

I've been playing the tune Israel. I really like it and discovered some cool things. So I thought I'd do a tune of the month on it! 

So start learning it! 

Just got a new Malletech marimba I'm totally in love with the sound. It's Padauk, not rosewood, so it has its own sound, which appeals to me after playing rosewood marimbas for so many years. The bar spacing is a little different so that's why I decided to practice a solo tune which I previously recorded on vibes. It's certainly a challenge on the new marimba!

In a recent post, I was asked about how I would keep the drums out of the vibes mics.  It's an age-old problem that nearly all of us have experienced.

Obviously, in a recording studio, the answer is to banish the drummer to a booth.  Situation resolved. Any bleed beyond that can be removed with software in post production.
