This is a demonstration/lesson about harmonizing the blues scale to create chord solos. I hear this a lot in piano players and big band writing. It can be a little tricky to move chords around on the vibes quickly, but it works pretty well using simple lines from the blues scale.

Please see the attached assignment and do the 8 bar exercise at the end! I'll be checking again at the end of the week :)
