In this part of the series, I talk about feel and proper dynamics of playing a bass line on vibes. I also look at chord substitutions on the F blues.
Hello everyone!
Doing something a little bit different and doing a couple lessons on playing basslines. Basslines, I think, are extraordinarily helpful both for practical reasons (like while playing duo and getting new textures) and also just to force you to truly understand the changes of a tune. The first part of the series is on note choice.

Can you memorize it and play it through different.
While you're doing this and playing this, you have to see the chords in the back of your head.

After I was very enthusiastic about the surround sound with the twisted resonator fans, but at the same time didn't want to forego the possibility to play without "wah wah" effect, I looked for a solution to realize the switching between twisted or parallel aligned fans with simple means.
The video shows a first prototype of a corresponding facility, albeit not yet in its original size.
Since the principle works, I'll start to build a full-size version.
Here s tune called Alice In Wonderland played by all the greats. I learned a Joe Pass solo from his performance with Oscar Peterson, took me a week or so to learn it so its my first attempt at playing it with a play along track
Hey everyone, just a fun little transposition thing on Stella to practice playing in weird keys. Basically going down a minor third each chorus, but I explained more on Tony's recent post. Practicing in minor 3rds is, IMO, a much better way to practice than going in 4ths or chromatically. It makes you uncomfortable and gets you out of habits.
