Trying to find ways to play tunes solo. By that I mean concepts and ways to simply play tunes on the vibes and improvise your accompaniment.
This is a pretty tune. I talk about the harmony and moving it around.
The last 4 measures!
OK, a bit of a clickbait title, yes, but it's true! All three voicings I'll show you in this video have no third, which is usually the one note we absolutely need! We shall explore why that's the case.
Hello everyone,
Here's another lesson about voicings. The common theme of all these recent lessons is trying to extrapolate as many different possible voicings as we can out of a sing idea. You take any four notes, and you can do all these things we've talked about so far:
-add extensions
-alter notes
-invert the chord
-use drop 2s, drop 3s, drop 2+3s, etc.
And now we'll add planing to the list! This is when you move a chord through a scale, or just move it chromatically.
Hello everyone,
In the last lesson, I explained how to methodically go through all possible extensions for a chord, and, in this one, we will look at the different options for rearranging those notes. You can use inversions, and spread techniques, including drop-2, drop-3, and drop-2+3.
Hello everyone!
This is a lesson geared towards beginners, but useful for everyone! I explain my method for going through all possible standard extensions and voicings for a dominant chord (there are 32 in total for any dominant chord!). The same applies to major, minor, diminished, etc.
Try this with the dominant chords and then use it over just in time.
I also added a very scalular solo. So you could write the scales in here for next weeks class. It's all below.
