Vibraphone

Hey guys, here is a lesson on playing upper structure triads on "My One and Only love". Using these triads will show how easy it is to think about upper structures of harmony.
I also demonstrates a way of thinking about chords and triads instead of using scales to create melodic improvisation.
The first part is a demonstration of the melody focusing on the upper structure triads.
The Second part is an explanation of the chords.
The third part is an explanation on improvising over the chords.

I know this guy but can't think of his name.

"only after you’ve learned 1,000 tunes do you realize that there are really only about 20 song forms and every tune is a combination of segments of these 20 forms"... I read somewhere on Hal Galper's website.
That statement goes with me for a few weeks now.
Who are those famous 20?

EVERYTHING this man (tony) does is top notch. Every time he plays the vibes, great music happens. So, why the hell isn't Tony written about in ALL the magazines, booked with top paying gigs and so busy performing that he'd have to hire out his vw site to someone to run for him? I know things are picking up for him but I have a theory that the reason he's not more "important" in the biz is because he hasn't got the "wave" going yet. It really pisses me off when people have to be told how good an artist is in some magazine or on some endorsee list before people can trust their own judgement.

Last couple of weeks we have been working hard to set up the "sales environment" for the gigVibe.
People were asking us for affordability of the instrument, and the availability of several ranges.
So we cut down even more on costs on this instrument, and by adding options you're able to configure the instrument exactly to your needs.

Man in general tries to break complex concepts into smaller bite size pieces.
Because of time the results and impact of the proposed breakdown is often not apparent.
I think how we have broken down the chromatic scale causes the learning experience to be longer than needed.

The result of the current system is an overly complex language which impedes reaching the goal(to be able to improvise) more than it should.(I'm not saying it doesn't work.)

I have a challenge for you if you’re game for it.

It’s developing the “Anything But That” method.

Find inspiration from our many outstanding musicians.

Hi Guys.

I'm playing this Haydn Divertimento for a technical exam at uni. I want to see what people think about how to do this trill, as 3 mallets are already taken up with the chord played at the same time....All help is appreciated!!!!!

Cheers,
James
