I was having fun playing around with parallel 6ths. They sound so cool on the vibes. I tried it on piano and it doesn't sound as nice. Anyway, I started playing a song that I recognized but don't know the name. Can anyone name that tune (attached).
Thanks,
Barry
The pdf he talks about is below. You can download it.
Here's the handout for the class Wed. Nov., 5th 2008. (7pm)
btw- Larry is coming from a recording session so if for some reason he's late I'll post the change in times here.
Check out the cool font Larry uses in his Finale Program!
First and foremost you have to master the Open and Closed Voicings Excercise. You should spend months on this exercise! Click on this link and scroll down to open and closed voicings: https://www.vibesworkshop.com/book/chords/marie-noëlle/050316
I'm very appreciative to mon amie Marie-Noelle on her kind words about the tunes on my MySpace page with the H-Factor, a local Philly jazz group. She pointed out to me that since previously, my page was set to private, that nobody was able to access my page to hear them. So I unblocked it. If you have time, please give a listen and tell me what you think. One tune, "That Old Devil Moon", features the great Larry McKenna on the tenor saxophone. The others members are Rob Henderson, the leader, on drums, Pete Colangelo an bass, and myself.
Lesson on Symmetrical Diminished Chord Scales
The mixolydian scale is the major scale with a flat 7. It's a very distinct sound, you've heard it all over the place.

Chinese Translation for Chinese students
All Blues 這首曲子都是用到Mixolydian 的聲音。
Latin music 中也很常用到Mixolydian 的聲音。
在爵士樂中，遇到屬和弦(Dominant)會演奏Diminished音階，或是Altered音階，或是不同的音階。
但是也有時候會用到Mixolydian音階。
如果和弦記號有降九音，也不能用到Mixolydian音階。要是九音（Natural 9th）才適用Mixolydian音階。
I frequently put on tracks in itunes and practice comping. I come across sometimes, tracks with no chord player. I always forget what they are. But when I find them I have fun being the chord player and get a lot out of it.
So I thought I'd make a list of cd's with just bass or just bass and drums. I only have one to start, but I bet you guys will come up with a ton.
I'd like to organize all those tracks in itunes and just pull them up and comp.
I also will import them into a program like audacity and change the keys.
What you guys got??? You got tunes?
