Hi, This is my first video on vibes workshop. I have only been on this site for a week and it has already changed my playing. Thanks!

Aloha, This is Scale exercise concept i have been developing of the last year. The concept is to be able to " call upon" any part of the scale at any time.

concept of this idea is to start on the tonic of the scale. go up to the 7th degree and skip the repeated tonic and land on the 9th.. once you get to the 9th degree you descend down the scale in question to the 2nd degree and repeat the cycle ... ascending and descending til you have worked thru the entire scale ...

Enjoy

So here's the deal.

I wrote an etude of all eighth notes. It's important for us to be able to weave through the changes, up and down and up and down. It's important for us to move the line in seconds. We do it much more easily with 3rds, but 2nds is where the magic happens.

• If you're going to do this right, write in the changes and study the lines.
• Play the etude down.
• Memorize the etude completely.
• Throw away the music.
• Play the etude in other keys.
• Smile at how much you've learned
