In this video I'll cover different strategies and approaches for creating lines using simple triads. The idea is pretty easy and comes from the triadic harmonization of both major and minor scales.

Hope you can get something helpful out of this lesson.

Hey everyone,

Here's another lesson on dampening. This is a subtle topic that relates to how you actually physically press the mallet into the bar when you dampen. You can use varying dampening speed to create clean-sounding dampening, legato-sounding dampening, and everything in between!

Let me know if there are any questions!

Let your ears tell you what is happening. Train them to give you information.

I always make a stand along version of tunes I'm learning. How can I play them simply and what would I do to play them like that.

Trying to find ways to play tunes solo. By that I mean concepts and ways to simply play tunes on the vibes and improvise your accompaniment.

This is a pretty tune. I talk about the harmony and moving it around.

In this video I'll cover different strategies and approaches for creating coherent lines with the altered scale.

Hello all,

Here is my last lesson on chord scales for now. This one focuses on minor and half-diminished chords, and where to play certain scales. I will also soon upload an etude to go along with these lessons, making use of the scales over a tune like "All of Me." Maybe I'll also do "Just in Time."

Let me know if there are any questions!

Hello everyone,

As with the previous lesson on dominant chord scales, I want to stress that just playing scales correctly won't necessarily produce the best improvisational content, and I think learning scales has a limited value. But there is value, and it's essentially figuring out what extensions happen on what chords.

A scale, at the end of the day, is just a 13th chord, with a 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 all put within one octave, and knowing this makes scales much more useful to me. So as you practice scales, remember this and figure out what chords they relate to.
