GMV-Chapter 1 (part 2) "A run run"
"A run run" is a traditional galician christmas song, which is very known in Galicia. I´ve written and arrangement-study for solo vibes so in this part (part 2) you can practice pedaling, dampening, reharmonization and modulation. The video and the PDF contain the same material (you can watch and listen it in the video and read it in the PDF).
