Part 3 of this lesson is not using time to help you outline harmony and create lines that are clear.

In the first half of the video is a Morello Drum solo. It's pretty smokin.

Hi all,

I'd like to introduce for those who don't know him Emmanuel Séjourné, a great mallet master here in France.

He's a great pedagogue, composer, player, with appart from mastery, humor and fantasy.

He's playing here a marimba piece with six mallets, a few partners... and fun!

His website: http://www.emmanuelsejourne.com/

Enjoy!

In Part 2 of my Upper Structure series I use a Maj Triad built off of the 7th scale degree of a Major 7 chord.
So if we are playing a Cmaj the upper structure would be a Bmaj triad.
I use this mainly to suspend the Maj7th chord. So instead of directly playing C maj I play a Bmaj Triad and then play the C maj chord.

Check out the video and if you have any questions please post them!

Marco is a great vibes player.

Someone recently commented on something about Terry Gibbs firing musicians that upstaged him. It was not done maliciously at all, but Terry wanted to set the record straight! Here's our phone call rough and unedited.

Some time ago, when this place was still at its genesis, I remember Tony wrote this "Music is a language".

Hungarian member Richard Szaniszlo linked this tune today on his FB, and I thought it was a great way to get back to this little phrase... from the Boss of the place, here so well 'illustrated' by a huge language master...

I love the way he speaks through his guitar, really talking to us...

Enjoy!
