Ballads - Some General Thoughts

Content type: Video Upload
Translation for Chinese students 中文翻譯: 關於練習Ballads， 我們在之前的影片中提過保持速度感(Time)， 如果在家自己練習時，我們可以保持很穩定的速度感和完整度， 在跟樂團一起演奏的時候，就可以更專注在和其他樂手的互動上了。 Tony覺得有很多事情可以思考， 1. 在演奏前奏的時候，調性就可以被確立-(示範：0:54-) 保持空間感，我們的耳朵可以聽到更多的東西。 有時候甚至只演奏一個音，和弦的進行其實就已經很明確了。…

Sunny for Amos (and others) Chord Study

Amos, Try and memorize the chords on the sheet music. Think about the fact that where those notes are and however they are mixed up, as long as the bass player plays the bass note, it is that chord. Do you get it?

She's totally bad ass! I love her left hand and the independence. I think this might be where the next 4 mallet giant comes from. maybe the vibes are neither a piano or guitar but instead a Gyil!!!

I do think vibesworkshop has turned into a gold mine of information. I can say that, because I don't get all the credit. If I would have made this a site where just I was the teacher, it would have never grown into what it is. Off the…

How My Heart Sings -V
David Friedman
Content type: Audio Player
This wonderful, quirky tune by Earl Zindars has been a favorite of mine for over 50 years. I used to jam on this tune in the 70's and perform it with bassist Harvie S. Although I'd been playing it off and on I never was satisfied with my…

I first heard of Manu Dibango when AM radio was playing his hit "Soul Makossa" around 1974, and I knew of him as an Afrobeat singer and sax player. I had no idea he played mallets until I saw a video concert around 1999 on the BET on Jazz…

Behn Gave a Good Tip at the World Vibes Congress -V

Content type: Story
He said play an Ab dominant bebop scale over a Cmin7b5. It's interesting because a C-7b5 looks like a rootless Ab9 chord. So I thought I'd pass it along here. I'm sure he has covered it in lessons, but I thought I would mention it.
