Hello everyone. This is my first lesson on Chords & Harmony festival 2011. This lesson has to do with the major and minor triads that you can play over a diminished h-w scale. So, I hope you find this interesting. For any questions let me know. Pdf is attached.

thanks

I'm going to put the word out to Behn, Ted, Mike and all the other guys for comping lessons. I'll also do some as well.

Let's start off with questions? You have any questions about comping??

I always tell my students that everybody should always have questions about everything in music. Even the pros. That's the sign of interest, I think. If you're interested in something you think about it and have lots of questions.

So...... Have any questions??? :-)

A while ago John Keene was recommending Rhapsody the music streaming service to us all. I disagreed and thought it was better to buy the mp3s. I thought a streaming service was not cool. Man I was wrong.

I pick a tune do a search for it and play along with track after track. All these different versions and interpretations of the melody. I'm using Spotify and I pay the monthly fee. It's so worth it.... and great for practicing tunes!!

Thanks John!

Here's some great comping. To me it all translates to the vibes. Any more examples??

Another xylo lesson that would definitely help beginning improv vibe players.

OK have we looked at chords and harmony enough? Not including all the other stuff on the site that would fit into this category. There's a ton now about chords and harmony. We've analyzed tunes, broken harmony down. I think we've done a lot.

So I think we should now start comping. I think more than how you solo it matters how you accompany others. In fact if I was a better soloist than you and you were a much better comper than I was and you took decent solos, I think you'd be in a better position to work than me. That is as a 4 mallet player.

Special thanks to Ed Saindon for finding this treasure!... And to 'Jeff' for recording, saving, digitalizing and sharing it! Enjoy! :o)
