Lesson with ideas for working on Major7#5 chords. A good place to start if, like me, you feel like you don't always have much to play over them.

Practicing solo vibraphone today on Body & Soul. A few things that I was thinking about during this practice session included: enhancing the harmony via added tensions, Upper Structure Triads and a variety of voicings, varying the harmony with chord substitutions, staccato articulation via deadstrokes, incorporating dampening as a means of adding to the variety of articulation as well as helping to make the counterpoint sound clean, varying the four mallet techniques.

Here are two exercises i did today. We should make a database of cool Warm Up Phrases (WUP's) :-)

Another Lesson with ideas for mixing up practice of scales. This one is an idea for the diminished scale.

far from perfect but at least i wanted to post a final of the work i invested in the scrapple from the apple...goal was for me to play it in time and put some double stops in the melody and play it solo vibes.
