  • Put the chords in Ireal

  • Make sure you can play and comp rootless voicings through out this for 4 choruses.
  • Play my solo
  • put my solo into Bb
  • play my solo followed by your solo. Try and make it similer in nature
  • do it in Bb and other keys.

If you click right below here on Bags Groove it should ask you to open up Ireal pro and should import this.


Mallet Suggestions?

Hi everybody!

I am sure this topic comes up pretty often, but I am looking to expand my mallet collection and wondering what vibraphone mallets you are all liking lately?

I use Tony's mallets for just about everything and I love them but I'd like to start investing in some more options for different purposes.

Does anyone have any suggestions/favorite pairs that might suit the following?
1. A general purpose set of mallets that are more lightweight
2. A set of soft mallets for quieter settings

Thank you!!

Blue Bossa Toolkit - 4

Here are some scale solos to transcribe. I could write them out, but you should work on transcribing them. You can post them here and one of us can check them.

Do you see all the things I can do with scales? Can you do them? I think they are very important and simply seeing all the notes light up are crucial for playing solos. Repetition of scale studies will really help you.

The toolkit are all the things I think you need to know to play a tune.
