Hey everyone!

I’ve got some exciting lessons for the next few months, starting with this series on diminished voicings. These three lessons will really go in depth with how you can creatively voice diminished chords, and how you can use the same shapes on non-diminished chords. Do you know the diminished major substitution? The dominant diminished substitution? The four main alterations of a diminished chord? How to use diminished shapes to play “out?” These lessons will go through all of this with a practical mindset, giving you tangible things to work on.

Here I go

Serious work of a serbian vibist (drummer and composer too) and his band. The gain is a little bit low, but i think it's worth to add more volume and enjoy his music.

Something we all should be able to do ...

"Farmer's Trust" - one of my favorite compositions from guitarist Pat Metheny. A great song to use as a vehicle for dampening including the one hand dampening techniques - slide, hand and pivot dampening. All of these dampening techniques will be covered in depth via exercises, etudes and pieces in my upcoming book on pedaling and dampening.

"The Nearness Of You" - Solo vibraphone on this classic with a focus on various dampening techniques including slide, hand and pivot dampening.
