hey,

in my series frank zappa M-Kat playalong i present today:

zomby woof.

i love that tune and it´s a really cool rock composition of frank, showing that avantgard rhythms like quintuplets can fit into a rock setting. i cutted out the biggest part of frank´s guitar solo and hope he will not hate me for that weherever he is now. i transcribed the marimba part sometime ago and attached it as pdf.

unfortunatley the auto focus of my cam went a little bit crazy...sorry for that.
hope you like it.

What's up vibesworkshop? As many of you know, I am up in Philly studying with the man himself, Tony Miceli. Tony and I spend a good deal of our lesson time in conversation about the instrument, music, and life. He asked me to start a blog and discuss things that I am working on and some concepts I use while arranging and playing. So this is entry numero uno. And I wanted to talk about arranging.

(Note from Tony) - my students have to do lessons each semester and submit them on the site. Sangwon speaks much better Korean than English so he's doing his lesson in Korean.

I recently acquired a marimba, and started messing around with some stuff!

Forgive the mistakes at the end of the video. I don't talk about phrasing much near the end, and I meant to... All of these neighbor tones can lead to "1". But, they can also be placed anywhere to disguise the arpeggio by not having the start of the arpeggio (C in the example) start on the downbeat, or a strong beat. The latter being which is how I hear them used more often.
