Listen, follow with the music. Write the chords in. Write what they are exactly. Write What they look like. For example, IT IS A C7#9 #5. However it looks like a Bb-7b5. It's not, but it looks like that. Understand?

Then play it. I would memorize it and then move the key at least once. That's how you learn harmony and voicings.

This is a 2 or 3 part series. (Have to decide). I'll add another chorus or two soon.

I played with a trio yesterday and we played Autumn in New York, which is a tune I've always liked but don't play much. Afterward, the bassist and I were discussing some different changes, so I thought I would check out the MJQ from the Django album when I got home. I liked their arrangement so much I did a rough transcription.

Are there any vibe players on this site from Christchurch, New Zealand? If so, please contact me at PiperVibe@gmail.com or www.Facebook.com/PipersLoft

Thank you.

This étude is all about quality dynamics and phrasing! I love trying to get the correct dynamics /interpretation on this étude!!

Hello all –

I was born with bad hips and as age I've had to become a bit more creative :-)

I was wondering if any vibe players ever have had hip and back pain while playing? I have found pedaling with my left foot and alternating with my right foot seems to help… Yes, unorthodox but I can make music.

Does anyone else have any tricks?

Hope you like it.
