Marcel posted this exercise in a comment to barryk.

I thought I would turn it into the EOTM!

here's marcel's comment:
------------------------------------
I often look into exercises of rudimental or technical snare drum books to aply to the notes and caracteristics of vibraphone in different ways. This last days I took one to practice combination of simple and double strokes and I think that works very well to practice C major (or any mode with the same notes!).

Remember: I talk about bass lines in the top part of the chord. I do know that technically that's not a bass line. But there's something that a bass line does rhythmically (besides the low part of the chord) that helps the time. And I think you can put that anywhere.

HELLO! IN THE WORKSHOP IN HOLLAND TONY TALKED ABOUT IMPROVISATION BASED ON SURROUNDINGS NOTES. IT WAS A VERY INTERESTED LESSON ON APPROACH (DIATONIC OR CHROMATIC) THE BASIC NOTES OF A CHORD WHICH IS 1, 3, 5, 7. THIS IS MY ETUDE. I DID THIS IN 12 KEYS MAJOR AND MINOR. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO ALL. ALSO I WILL UPLOAD PLAY0ALONGS OF 12 KEYS IN MAJOR AND MINOR. THESE ARE USEFULL TO PLAY THIS ETUDE OR TO STUDY LINES ON BLUES ON 12 KEYS OR WHATEVER. I TOOK FRIEDMAN'S ADVICE AND FROM NOW ON I CREATE MY OWN PLAY-ALONGS. I SAW A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE ON MY PLAYING DOING THAT.

THANKS!
