Peter Weniger and I did a reading of the piece, originally for solo vibraphone. Basically Peter plays the melody and I try to leave out certain phrases that were written in the solo version to avoid too much information. This varies from the written solo because we deviate from the written out solo and improvise a solo together. It's not perfect, which I kind of like but I dig the feel.

All keys all modes

You have any? post them here. Interesting ways of practicing scales!

This is an arrangement of Peace with the melody in the bass. It works surprisingly well and opens up some interesting possibilities for the harmony.

Pedal on every chord.

This will teach you about chord melodies.

The pedal for the most part can be down for two beats at a time for most of the tune. However there are a couple spots where the chords change on beats 3 and 4. Use a lead sheet and your ears to figure out where they are.

Study the original harmony and see where I add upper partials not in the lead sheet.

Even if the harmony is too complex this also for beginners, just work on the music, don't worry about the advanced chords. Just play it as is.

I would love to see a beginning post their version of this!

Download the PDF. Learn 1 chorus. Once you can play it, then next add the chords and figure out all the upper partials I'm using.
