Hey everyone,

Hey everyone,

Here's a little lesson on the augmented scale. Let me know if there are any questions! Part 2 coming soon.

Hello all,

Here's another dampening lesson! This is a cool one, and one that has become an integral part of my playing recently.

Hey everyone,

I think this is pretty cool. "Pitch bending" is something I've been messing around with on the vibes, especially in a blues context, but also in ballads and really any setting you want. Let me know what you think!

I have been playing the changes of Just In Time, lately.

And I always think in terms of solo playing and holding four mallets.

When you're playing lots of notes, you don't need chords. At this tempo, I'm mostly playing 8 notes in a bar. I need most of the time, 2 notes to spell the chord. Once I have cycled through the changes and played the head, the harmony is there. I don't need. In fact if I do a good job playing through the changes on the head, I can even make mistakes and get back into the changes and the listener should be fine. So I think!

For this first part, memorize the first four measures of the tune. Pt 1b coming shortly!
