Vibraphone

Short etude, but should be a little bit of a challenge. 

This is a great blues from a great album, Jimmy Smith - The Organ Grinder

I just bought a Modern Jazz Quartet album at a flea market with Milt Jackson's autograph! This adds to my collection of autographs, including: Lionel Hampton, Gary Burton, Tony Miceli, Behn Gillece, and Oliver Mayman.

I love listening to guitar players play solo. I can usually imagine playing like that on the vibes. Their approach really lends itself to the vibraphone. 

Watch and study this video and try playing like this on the vibes. There's a line then a chord. If the line is quarter notes, you can play chords through it, but if you're going to play a busy line then no chord, it's too difficult. Get it??? 

In the final blues dampening etude, we explore the minor blues form. Please note that there are some common substitutions in this one that are used often in minor blues.

This is another version of the etude that goes through the same chord changes as Blues for Alice. There's a few different approach notes in this version. Remember that when playing this etude with the additional ii-V-I's, figure out all the other tunes you can use these lines on and try it in different keys!
