Do it!

Transcribe this! Play it back when you have it down. Don't post the sheet music, play it!

Why does it work?

Can you hear the changes? Why?

Check out the mixolydian scales on the bridge and watch them change. You lose a sharp with each chord!

Can you hear and see the D7 chords? Why?

Are these mics in the resonators? I am guessing that if it worked, everyone would be using them.

Practicing solo vibraphone on Alone Together here at the house this past Sunday afternoon. Here is Take 1 out of three takes. This is a fairly brief two chorus version that includes right hand octaves along with left hand accompaniment and pedal point in the bridge of the 2nd chorus.

Other Takes:

Take 2: This take is a little slower and starts out with more subtlety than Take 1. In this take, I'm experimenting with using a variety of articulations/note lengths as well as executing lines with four mallets.

Another lesson about ideas for practicing scales and mixing up your routine.

giovanni presents some concepts for reharmonizing the turnaround...

Giovanni talks about how to play over triton substitutions, which scale you can use, some tricks to reharmonize it etc...
