I just finished an online lesson with a student and I thought, hmmm I should pass on the gist of what we were talking about which was if you're playing solo, or doing chord melody things on the vibes, play the melody first and decide how…

When I was much younger, my mentors taught me that the best thing I could do for my playing was to transcribe on a regular basis. They taught me that it was not for the purpose of learning to copy and play solos that others had played,…
