A few years ago, I did a lesson where I talked about minor surround tones. I feel like surround tones are often discussed over dominant and minor, but not major as often. So I decided to talk a little about how to surround chord tones on major chords, enjoy!

Hi All,

I've got to that point in life where I need to buy a Vibraphone. I program and play keyboards for a living and can afford something reasonably good. I'm going to be playing jazz and not working on more 4 to the floor!

However, I'm in the UK and I'm unsure of what to buy and then where from. Vibraphones seem to be in short supply here!

Firstly, I'm a bit worried about buying something old because if it needs repair or tuning - I won't know where to take it in the UK.

Dave is talking about minor voicings.

Right across the way from us is a GREAT xylo workshop with the great Bob Becker teaching 10 percussionists from all over the world about the world of ragtime.

Here's a piece that features a great Philly percussionist Harvey Price. He's also the head of percussion at Univ of Delaware and the reason why vibesworkshop does it's summer workshop in Delaware. Harvey Rocks and is a great friend of mine and is a great percussionist and xylo man!
