Play Like David Friedman and Tony Miceli :-)
Uh oh!!!!!!
Morgan Wallbridge is an amazing up and coming vibe player. She transcribed our performances of Joy Spring.
I would like to see some of you play the transcriptions. Who's up for it.

Ballads - Some General Thoughts
Translation for Chinese students
中文翻譯:
關於練習Ballads,
我們在之前的影片中提過保持速度感(Time),
如果在家自己練習時,我們可以保持很穩定的速度感和完整度,
在跟樂團一起演奏的時候,就可以更專注在和其他樂手的互動上了。
Tony覺得有很多事情可以思考,
1. 在演奏前奏的時候,調性就可以被確立-(示範:0:54-)
保持空間感,我們的耳朵可以聽到更多的東西。
有時候甚至只演奏一個音,和弦的進行其實就已經很明確了。
這樣我們可以專心在演奏旋律上面。
2. 把旋律清楚的演奏出來(示範:2:05-)-
可以試試把旋律音和其他和弦音之間的距離拉開(3:14很明顯的示範)
這邊Tony提到很多細節:像是演奏過的音、和弦都會留在耳朵裡面,所以留白、空間很重要。
3. 能將旋律清楚演奏出來後,可以想想用另外一個附屬的線條,甚至單音,當作伴奏。
(示範:6:05,中間有變成double time的感覺,在7:07藉由演奏豐富的和聲,回到慢速的氛圍)

聊聊Ballads (慢速的樂曲),
常常我們在聆聽一個樂團演奏Ballads時,
會覺得速度好慢,似乎有些無聊,
Tony認為那是因為演奏者的演奏意圖、方向感、氛圍不夠明確,
所以這一集我們來嘗試一些練習,
看可以怎麼將慢速的曲子處理得漂亮。
首先,先找一個音,演奏Ballads的速度,
把速度和節奏感表現出來。
從Tony的示範中,
我們可以很清楚的聽到速度是什麼 ;
接著在一個和弦上來即興,並專注在同樣的事情上:保持速度感(Tony示範:GMajor7)。
如果你從來沒有演奏過Ballads,這是一個很棒的練習。
Tony示範了一首Ballad - I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face
他說,有些時候他在練習時,
只練習和弦的進行,把速度感保持好、感受和弦變化的時候的色彩張力,會幫助很大喔!

Behn Gave a Good Tip at the World Vibes Congress -V
He said play an Ab dominant bebop scale over a Cmin7b5. It's interesting because a C-7b5 looks like a rootless Ab9 chord.
So I thought I'd pass it along here. I'm sure he has covered it in lessons, but I thought I would mention it.
Learning from the Balafon (Lesson 7): 3+3+2
Adapting 3+3+2 to the Balafon
Sometimes we need to step away from our primary instrument to rebuild our awareness from the ground up. I incorporate my Harmonic Time method for all the material I have learned and teach. Here is a general description of the method:
