So.....

I thought it would interesting to try something out next year. A workshop in the mountains of France (Near the Alps) and one in Napa Valley at a Vineyard.

Why? Because there are vibe players there and they are willing to host us and help us. I think upping the game of workshops brings more visibility to the instrument. We have our steady places, Limerick, Ireland and Wuppertal, Germany. These are homes for us, but it would be nice to branch out and spread the word. Also, do some workshops in some cool places around the world.

This guy sounds great!!!! Anyone know him? Well and the band is killing also!

I can get a great deal for subscribers on VW. $400 off a malletKat. This deal is over The end of August.

For more information let me know! However, PLEASE don't contact me unless you're ready to buy a MalletKat and you are a subscriber.

If you are subscriber for many years (more than 3) I might be able to do better.

These are the instruments.

常常我們在Comping時，會限制在一個和弦只有一種voicing(和聲配置)
但是如果能在一個和弦上找到不同的voicing，並且是有和聲進行（Harmonic motion）的，會讓comping聽起來更豐富。
可以看看PDF檔中，Behn的例子是用藍調(Blues)來說明這個“互換兩個和聲配置”（Alternating two voicing）
熟悉了之後，可以開啟節拍器，按照速度演奏，再自己加上一些節奏感，這會是很好的練習。

"Smile" written by Charlie Chaplin in 1936 for the movie Modern Times. Always loved this song. It's been recorded many times by vocalists and instrumentalists. Here's my twist on this classic. I'm alternating with the I Maj chord (3rd in the bass) and a Dim Maj chord. Also alternating between the keys of F and Ab.

It's always fun to groove on baroque music
Let me know what you think please.
It's always very helpful.

Hi guys!
Recently, I have been working on how to manage the space in sound playing ballads.
playing in duo with a bass player is a great exercise for that.
we recorded an old tune :"The folks how live on the hill" sings usually by Peggy Lee.
Hope you will enjoy.
