Interesting Open Voicings Pt. 5 by Behn Gillece

I thought it was time to present some new material here again.

Over the years, a lot of worn-out mallets have accumulated. I had the opportunity to give students a project assignment to refurbish old mallets. The result works very well. I have restored a first set of mallets with 300 windings per mallet and I am very enthusiastic. Many thanks to my student Fabian Buschulte!

Ok this is super challenging. Here’s what I did. I recorded the vibes first with no click track and then I added bass after. This was HARD.

The lesson is

Beginners

• To memorize the melody
• Record the melody then do something over top of it. Snap your fingers on 2 and 4. If you play drums get brushes and play along, or do what I did and that is to play a bass line.

Advanced
