This is a demonstration/lesson about harmonizing the blues scale to create chord solos. I hear this a lot in piano players and big band writing. It can be a little tricky to move chords around on the vibes quickly, but it works pretty well using simple lines from the blues scale.
Attached are two pdfs, one of the demo I play at the beginning and the other of harmonizing possibilities for each chord. I would welcome your ideas/suggestions as I am still working on this concept.
Please see the attached assignment and do the 8 bar exercise at the end! I'll be checking again at the end of the week :)
Today I showed up at AJR Metal Works parking lot (Dallas) for an impromptu concert to demonstrate and play a couple pieces for the great employees who helped machine parts for my two vibraphones - USA Vibe and Antarctic Vibe. This (obviously) is my USA vibe. At one of many visits to have parts made, I often heard that the employees rarely get to see the finished product and enjoy the fruits of their labor. So, I decided that when this vibe is ready to play, I'd drop in on them.
After viewing the video, check out the attached PDF. See where you can apply this great sound to the study tune I created. Post your results by Friday morning and I will check in :)
