Excerpt of vibraphone and improvisation clinic in Milan, May 16th, 2014. This segment addresses solo playing on Body and Soul along with voicings and harmonic practices including symmetrical diminished scale lines and voicings. Other segments from the clinic are up on YT and address the fulcrum grip and dampening techniques, voicing and reharmonization on Autumn Leaves, stride solo playing on Ain't Misbehavin' and solo playing utilizing dampening on Black Orpheus. All clips are posted on my YouTube page listed in the Clinics/Educational Clips section.

Voicing of the Day (VOD) Major 7 Chord - in Fourths

Chinese translation for Chinese students

大七和弦四度和聲配置:

以Fmajor7 為例子,和聲配置是從七音開始演奏的E, A, D, G,保持四度的和聲配置。

如果要熟記這個和聲配置,放到12個調裡,熟悉每一個調,

並且放到ii-V-I的和絃進行練習,效果最好。

這個四度的和聲配置也許會有一點點失去明確調性的感覺。所以演奏完後,敲擊一下根音,可以幫助聽清楚和弦性質和調性。
