"Four to the Bar" Tutorial on Stars Fell On Alabama

ed saindon 22 October 2015

Guys, here's a tutorial on the "four to the bar" style on Stars Fell On Alabama. Had some fun with adding the hats. I use to do this with piano but not vibes, so it needs tweaking. Would have picked a smaller/thinner and quieter set of hats but beggars can't be choosey. Ha!Ha! Hope you find this helpful. My thoughts about note selection and considerations for the comping are in the video description. Let me know if you have any questions. Ed.

Wind Family, String Family, Percussion Family, Keyboard Family

I had a talk with Stefon Harris a while ago. I don't think I've talked about it here yet.

The argument is this: The piano is part of the percussion family but percussionists don't learn piano. The piano is in a performing way, NOT part of the percussion family at all. It requires a lot of dedicated and unrelated skill and has moved out of the percussion family. Not how it's made of course, or the mechanisms that make the sound but in a performance way.
