Nobody Else But me - Lesson 1 - Get Your Time Together

Ok this is super challenging. Here’s what I did. I recorded the vibes first with no click track and then I added bass after. This was HARD.

The lesson is

Beginners

  • To memorize the melody
  • Record the melody then do something over top of it. Snap your fingers on 2 and 4. If you play drums get brushes and play along, or do what I did and that is to play a bass line.

Advanced

Donna Lee Solo V.1.2

I downloaded and have been practicing a solo that was written my vibes workshop members Patty and Tony created waaaaaay back in 2009.

With the utmost of respect to both Patty and Tony who have created this transcription I have made some additions to it. In playing it, I couldn't help but throw in some ideas that have come about from listening to a lot of Milt Jackson, my number one go to for finding some sweet lines. So, I've written them down and I hope that this might be of use to all.
