Ed talks about four note groupings, great for your lines.

Oh man this is sooo cool! I can't resist!

For those who were in Sassenheim (and those were not too!), here is an excerpt from a CD just about to be released, of a cool reggae group of young musicians from Berlin. And among them is our dear little Charly on vibes!!!

I love this music, clean, well written, with a powerful singer, and where the vibes found his place... very cleverly!

Go Charly!... And we want to hear more very soon!!

Here's a great video from a new site we'll be launching very soon. It's over at www.worlddrum.studymusiconline.com. Todd Isler is the instructor, he's a great percussionist and drummer.

He has a book out in our store called 'You Can Ta Ka Di Mi This'. The book is here: www.store.studymusiconline.com/you-can-ta-ka-di-mi-improve-and-expand-y…

Here's a great video on the book by Todd.

Here I go over how to use Cells within a melodic lick or idea.

Please ask questions!

Here is part 2 of the intro to cells.
I explore using cells over an upper extension triad.
In this example I use a dominant 7th chord with a maj triad built off the 6th.
Please ask questions!

Nacada is a lesser known tune written by Pat Metheny many years ago. I don’t think it has been recorded very much. It has a very short form, a mere 8 bars long. Yet it provides lots to work with when arranged as a solo piece or played with a band.

In this version I added a little synthesized string parts in the background as an experiment. I think they blend well with the vibes and help to fill out the sound.

Barry posted a version of Estate, A lovely tune. I recorded this with a trio also a few years ago and thought I'd share this too.

Let me know what you think Barry?
