Someday My Prince Will Come chord study - class assignment from June 2020 Vibesworkshop Boot Camp. I tried to incorporate elements from the Boot Camp lessions: open/closed voicings, "Zero-to-Hero" rootless voicings, dampening techniques, comping concepts.
Accompanying my lessons about solo playing here a version of this standard ballad.
Using "Like someone in love" (Eb) to study solo-vibe playing. Having started with creating a counter line to the melody with the root notes of the accompanying chords we are now starting to incorporate chords. See the previous installments (a path to solo playing 1 and 2) for the lead sheet. More detailed and in-depth study? Contact me for a Skype or Zoom lesson.
The following notes were taken down right after a lesson with Gary during my studies with him at Berklee during the 70s.

Vibes Solo – Chega de Saudade (No More Blues)
Remember Dynamics – They make a simple line sound remarkably dramatic. Use more swells and de-swells in your line. When you use swells and dynamics, it gives you more time for space because each line is so important and stands alone.

Can you tell why I hate the beginning?
It is the best instrument in the world.
I think so, Stefan Harris thinks so, Warren Wolfe thinks so, David Friedman thinks so, Joe Locke thinks so and I think so.
Just sayin'.
Check out Patricia's playing and the music. She plays the instrument really really well!
