A Thorough Guide to Ending Tunes, Part 3: Last Chords
Hello all!
I’m taking a little break from the “how to play vibes like” lessons and am doing a couple beginner-oriented ones on ending tunes, although I think everyone can probably get something from them. This lesson is really for anyone who has ever been on a gig or at a jam session where at the end you all just kind of fizzled out in an unsatisfying, anticlimactic way, and wants a better alternative for the future. It’s also for anyone who just wants more creative options to end tunes.

II-V-I Challenge -V
Hi vibes lover, today I'd like to challenge you and your friend with this easy progression!
the difficult part of the exercise is that you have to do it in all the keys saying out loud the name of the chord you are playing and then make a video and post it here!
good luck
Giovanni

Dampening Technical Difficulties ft. Friedman Etude #1
Hello everyone! I want to take full advantage of this site and everything offered here. To that end, this video was made. I hope this is the first of many posts I make. Give it a watch and I look forward to your thoughts. Have a good one!
I explain in the video why I'm posting but a few things I forgot to mention:
1. I'm also having trouble with getting a tight grip and a strong dampening stroke without tensing up (or feeling like I am, I have struggled with this quite a bit.)
body and soul

Thinking Behind the Hands
This is kind of a jank video-- low energy today. But still highlights some important notions: We forget about our bodies while playing. Another place to diagnose and theorize and stuff is back where our hands, arms, and even the total torso are acting.
Then I poorly demonstrate the virtues of preshifting as a muscle encoder. But it DOES embed the subsequent notes into the act of striking and rebounding itself. It forces mental leading and appropriate concentration.
