If I had to sum this lesson up in one sentence: Play the melody in all keys.
Also in a lesson, I would ask you to tell me things about the melody. I do some of that here in this lesson.
Hello,
I've recieved two expanders(octaves) for my malletkat.
I have 2 questions :
-is it possible to change the octave of the expander: I'd like to have one lower and one higher than the malletkat (specially because the expander cable is too short to connect them both in the lower register). If yes, wich menu is it ?
-I have recieved them without a picture or instruction on how to fix the metal bars under the malletkat(no screws neither) .
Tony, can you post an image of your connection (under the malletkat), and did you use the same screws ?
I just came across this recording of Triste from a while ago(2006). I was blessed to have one of Holland's best bass players on this recording(Jeroen Vierdag). Check out this Youtube video of him playing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmpeMt8vh2w
And on drums is my former teacher I had lessons with at the Conservatory. Some pretty heavy cats.
I decided I would work on Some Day My Prince Will Come. Here is what I've got so far. I know there are some mistakes. But I told myself I'd put one up today no matter what.

練習音階很重要
第一個，可以加強雙手的技巧，
第二，你要了解每一個音階中的每一個組成音，這樣當你看到一個和弦的時候，你就知道用什麼音階套用在上面。

Orrin Keepnews talk about the Milt and Wes CD.
It's a different thing! There's alway talk amongst vibe player about Steve Nelson. He certainly stirs up some controversy, which is good I think.
He's definitely trying for something different here. If you've followed him then you've heard him burn and play totally inside.
