Hello everyone,

This is my fourth "How to Play Vibes Like" lesson. And I should be doing 8 more this coming month, so if anyone has any suggested pianists to cover, let me know. So far, I plan on having George Shearing, Benny Green, Count Basie, Monk, and a second part to my Oscar Peterson lesson.

I'm hoping everything I talked about in this lesson made sense. It can be tricky stuff, so please ask questions if you don't understand something. And listen to his music, specifically "Passion Dance" and "Blues on the Corner" to hear these concepts in action.

Thanks!

Second video dedicated to the master of vibes and marimba Dave Samuels:
here we will analyse one of his most used technique. take your time to go over those rhythmical superimposition slowly with the metronome, then increase the speed and apply the idea over a repeated sequence of note you like.
Have fun!

Playing lines over “Stella By Starlight” with the inside mallets. Using an open spread and “digging in” with an up and down motion via the use of the fulcrum as with a two mallet player or drummer. For more information on the fulcrum grip, there are some YT clips on my channel that illustrate and discuss the concept. There is also a Wikipedia page on the grip.

Dave is one of my hero and I was lucky enough to study with him during high school. He used to come every year in Italy and doing summer camps where I learned a ton about his way of playing.

Hi vibes family:

I record my debut album back in February right before the craziness happened. Last week I put a crowdfunding together. Since I didn’t sign with a label, so I’m managing everything myself. The record will be released sept 23rd (that’s also my birthday). So far I’ve recorded all the songs and paid the musicians.

Arrangement from Gary Burton of Michel Legrand's "The Summer Knows". Dug this up from the files and got this way back from Gary during lessons in the 70's. Some really nice things in here in terms of the harmony, techniques and voicings.

Here's the link:

The harmony is based off of Tony's chord study in the pop up class 2 weeks ago. I tried to make it lyrical using arpeggios, chromatic bass lines and surround notes, as well as with 3 and 4 note chords. I am still working on learning to play my own arrangement accurately... sigh.
