You can listen here to both parts.
Down load the other file which is just one part and then add your part.
Any questions let me know.
You're assignment is to learn the melody.
Post a comment here that says you know it, or post a video of you playing simply the melody. Do this before you go on to lesson two.
I added the lead sheet below.
These are individual tracks each of one note on the vibraphone.
Download this. Put it on your phone like a CD.
Play the "album", set it to shuffle. Play a note, stop it. Find it on your instrument. Eventually You'll be able to let it play and follow it. It's super great ear training.
Just do it, 5-10 minutes a day. After a while, 5 is plenty.
Don't go fishing for the write note. Use your ears if you play a wrong note. Sing you're note if it's wrong and then sing the other note.
Don't waste a lot of time thinking,'use the force'.
Some ideas for things to do while we are all huddled up in our homes because of the Corona Virus. It's also for after all this is over as well. It's using Play alongs and Playlists to keep tunes in your head!
I made this for my student Nathan, but I'd love to see who else wants to do this.
I play All Blues with an Aebersold recording. You play the melody and at the end. I solo first. You comp for me and I comp for you. Comp in the lower octave and solo in the middle and up high as much as you can. That way we will stay out of each others way a bit.
Here's the plan:
Today is March 15th: Deadline is March 25th.
Play this track. Wear headphones when you record. Don't record the track.
Count off with the 2 bar intro. But count like this. 2,3,4,1,2. Make sure your counting is on. Then play 2 choruses of a blues solo audio or video.
Then send it to me. After March 25 I'll put it together with my backing tracks and make a video out of it.
If you are in, please put your name in the comments.
When you send me the file title it like this.
