Vibraphone

A little late night session working on the sabbatical project. This a minor blues on John Coltrane’s “Mr. PC”. Solo vibe techniques include left hand comping mixed with one/two hand lines and right hand octaves. Improv techniques include Pentatonics, Upper Structure Triads, Motivic Playing and Side Slipping. All concepts from my improv series The Complete Guide to Improvisation available from Amazon. Apologies for the dark lighting.

It's sort of a step 1.

(ESP) Bienvenid@ a vibesworkshop.com! Aca una lección muy simple. Cuando pienso en las clases y ejercicios que hacemos de improvisación, pienso que hacemos técnica y muchas otras cosas.

A slightly Barry Harris-inspired block chord melody of "There Will Never Be Another You."

Make sure to check the attached file where there'a table that shows what triads can be played over any type of chord.

As usual remember to check out my youtube channel and follow me on facebook and instagram.

Play this down in whole steps. It should make sense, what to do.

Then try and vary it a bit, change the rhythms, add a note. Try to build on this.

This is essential to play standards and more complex original tunes.

This needs to be second nature!

The first dominant chord, in this example G13b9 uses the dominant diminished scale. The second chord in this example the A7b13b9 uses the Altered scale.

Dom Dim - G Ab Bb B Db D E F G
A Altered is - A Bb C Db Eb F G

Put this through all the keys.
