I've spend lot of time playing solo vibraphone especially during this difficult pandemic period so I decided to share with you my thoughts on this particular topic.
In the video I'll show you what for me are some of the basic concepts that you need to master for getting started with vibes solo playing.
Just did this for a student.
Bb Blues.
Transcribe my solo. Do you understand it?
take the pdf and play the chord solo. memorize it and put it through keys.
MEMORIZE IT!
also memorize the solo and play that in different keys.
feel free to fix any 'wrong' notes.
For my lessons with Tony, he asked me to get some modal practice in. This has been a really fun way to learn my modes more intimately, and work on my time feel!
I know I've posted this before. But one more time.
All great horn plays know this one.
I write it here over an F9 chord and at the end I head into Bb. Learn it in each key and then do the modulation and see if you can play it in all the keys without stopping.
And yes some of the keys you have to skip around octaves to play it.
Repeat it in each key. Try to play it 3 to 5 times without messing up.
