Stella by Starlight is one of those gems that never gets old, at least for me. The changes are so interesting to play over, even after playing the tunes on probably hundreds of gigs! Here is a slightly different take on it, as played by…

Voicing of the Day (VOD) - Sharp 9 Voicing
tonymiceli
Content type: Video Upload
Chinese translation for Chinese students 屬七和弦升九音的和聲配置： 以F7#9為例，演奏3, 5, b7, #9，分別是A, C, Eb, G#（Ab） 你也可以看成是Ab大三和弦加上A為低音。 要熟記這個和聲配置，就是要轉到12個調裡。 並且切記，如果真的要熟悉而且會演奏時反應很快的就能夠應用上，一定要放到ii-V-i裡面練習。

Voicing of the Day (VOD) - Cool Minor Voicing

Chinese translation for Chinese students 今天要講的是小調和弦（minor chord）的和弦配置（voicing）。 以A minor 和絃為例，這個和聲配置是3, 7, 9, 11音組成。也就是C, E, B, D。 轉到不同調試試看。 練習一個新的和聲配置時，最好要放到ii-V-i的和絃進行裡面練習，效果最好。 也可以移動這個最高音的音，也會產生一個很漂亮的聲音線條。

I have recently acquired an older set of Slingerland by Deagan vibes. The only number stamped in the plate is "S1048". I can't tell if that is a model or serial number. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I always have a joke that if there's more than one vibes player hanging at your gig, then it's the equivalent of a guitar player that has to play in front of 20 guitar players, haha! Anyway, here's a nice pic of last night at a gig at…

Voicing of the Day (VOD) Major 7 Chord - in Fourths
tonymiceli
Content type: Video Upload
Chinese translation for Chinese students 大七和弦四度和聲配置： 以Fmajor7 為例子，和聲配置是從七音開始演奏的E, A, D, G，保持四度的和聲配置。 如果要熟記這個和聲配置，放到12個調裡，熟悉每一個調， 並且放到ii-V-I的和絃進行練習，效果最好。 這個四度的和聲配置也許會有一點點失去明確調性的感覺。所以演奏完後，敲擊一下根音，可以幫助聽清楚和弦性質和調性。
