This is an articulation exercise in the style of an Indian Raga. I use lots of accents and different stickings for the repeated notes so that the sound constantly changes through varied articulation. There's lots of double stickings, i.a. LLR, LLR, LLR, RRRR, LLLL,
Playing on the tip of the mallet head with the pedal down creates the illusion of long held out tones because you don't hear any attack.
It's also a tremendous (I sound like Trump!) challenge to keep the tempo steady.

Enjoy!

Hi vibes lover in this lesson I'll talk about some new technique I developed while writing my new book called AFORISMI - 11 etudes for solo vibraphone
In this lesson I'll talk about the intro of AFORISMA #6 - CALYPSO where i'm playing 5 notes voicings preceding or postponing the root to a 4 notes open voicing.
Here you can listen to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNcVr3hZJR8&t=3s

This is my solo vibraphone attempt on the well known standard For Heaven's Sake, by Don Meyer (I love this piece). 1 chorus for the theme, 1 chorus for improvising, 1 A section to wrap up the tune. I played in the changes, and tried to play around the theme for my solo.

If you have the time to listen to it, please give me feedback, whatever it is, beacause I don't have a lot of occasions to play the vibraphone publicly!

Thank you!

Victor B.

P.S: recorded past midnight, with few hours of sleep last night... finals rush!

Check out my chord melody. Can you come up with a different one?

Another study of upper partials based on the tune Minority. Write the chords in and then study the notes and see what they are.

Check out all the triads in the solo that don't relate to the main triad of the chord.

I.E. the chord is F7 and I play a D maj triad. Get it? It looks like a triad. but it's the 13th the b9 and the 5th of the chord.

Remember: One way to tell how experienced a jazz vibe play is is to listen to how far up the chords they go in the solos. How comfortable are they in making melodies out of the upper partials of the chords.

Fill in the chords yourself :-). It will help you study the harmony. Write in all the upper partials. You can do it!

Minority is a study of 9ths and 13ths, the upper parts of the chords. So this is a study in upper partials!

今天我們要講的是minority

自己創造出ii-v-i 小樂句（lick），是一個裡面有V dominent 13音的lick,
定下速度打，你可以從中學到很多，你也會記住minor9音, dominent 13音的聲音
改節奏、加上一些音，轉調（放到每個調裡面練練）
Rootless13b9和弦（沒有根音的屬和絃，加上9音和13音）
例如F713b9: 組成音為A(3音), D(13音), Eb(7音), F#(b9音)

認真練習ii-V-I，讓你的耳朵熟悉這些聲音。

Hey Vibes Workshop,
My name is Steve Roehm. I'm a vibraphonist from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
2017 is the year for some new habits for me. So here is my first foray in
posting a video on VWS. This is a tune of mine called "Just Kicking Around".
I've attached a PDF with the sheet music. I hope you enjoy it.

Tony 演奏整首曲子。
如果你不知道旋律，
先學會旋律再來看這支影片。
唯一的Altered chord 在最後一個小節C7alt（C,Ab, E, C）。

2分38秒，Tony 演奏 C key.

轉到不同的調上，可以只打bass你也能聽到整首曲子的全貌，

另外試著轉到不同的調，然後簡單的solo就好。

把我們上一堂課教的 I minor9 - ii minor9 - V dominant13b9，
這堂課要加上旋律。

旋律都是在最高音聲部，

例如G調：
Gminor9 (旋律是Gmajor音階)- Aminor9 -D13b9 - Gminor9 (旋律是五聲音階)

*把這些東西練好之後，可以再延伸練很多東西，你可以只把一小部分的和聲進行拿出來，做成練習曲練習。

*Tony 演奏：
57秒, G key
1分16秒, F key
