Joe takes a strange progression and resolved it because of the melody!

How about as an exercise, one of the subscribers transcribe the progression!

The phrygian scale is pretty cool because it has a minor 2nd between the root and the second scale degree. That gives it a very exotic sound!

Chinese translation for Chinese student.

如果拿Phrygian 音階和大調（major）音階來比較，Phrygian音階多了降2降3降6降7音。

在第一個音和第二個音中間是個半音，也因為這樣聽起來非常特別。

這個C為開頭音的Phrygian順階和弦，第一個和弦為Cminor 第二個和弦為Dbmajor

你可以聽到這樣的聲響在很多中東音樂、猶太音樂中等。

演奏大調音階跟Phrygian音階，比較看看。

通常在小調中會用到Phrygian，但是跟Dorian, Aeolian比，Phrygian最少用到。

Here is a transcription from Joe's video 'Intros Part 2'.

Here are some 4 mallet exercises I made a long time ago. These are just some ideas of how to create exercises to practice 4 mallet playing. I hope you like these. See the attachment for the pdf.

I've watched the video I linked to above here several times now. There is a whole study out of how this guy plays. And I think if any 2 mallet player incorporated that into his playing he opens up a whole new world of things.

Since the instrument is pentatonic I realize there's a sort of drum factor happening there, but still that guy makes so much music out of that instrument, I'm floored.

here you go! work hard!

This is a sample of something I recorded today. It's a short sample of me playing along for a demo, but I noticed something that John Piper mentioned after one of my earier recordings. There is a low thumping noise coming from the pedal.In the second sample I did some EQ, and it kind of worked...

I'm using a Zoom H4 that goes into an EMU soundcard that goes to my laptop.(you might also hear some laptop noise...)
