I talk and think about this all the time. You'll hear me bring it up over and over and over again. I never totally liked the analogy of comparing the vibes to a piano. When every I'm playing solo it hits me like a brick in the head.
Now there is plenty to learn from the piano, after all this is set up like a piano. So cool. Also many other vibe players compare this to a piano. However many of them did not grow up playing classical piano and classical guitar. I did and I can do an interesting comparison between the two.
The thing about music is it's pretty logical for the most part. Most of the music you're going to play is going to fall in one of a few categories. That's why we have categories of different aspects of music because there's so much music that falls into them.
