Vibraphone

I am a bad photographer but....

This was a beautiful instrument! 

Every mallet player should check out the Kutztown Mallet Center. I kept putting off going and then finally went and was blown away by what is there! 

🎬 Lesson 4: Expanding the Blues with Functional Harmony Goal: 

Strengthen time feel and harmonic fluency by adding functional variations to the 12-bar blues form, while maintaining steady comping with a metronome on beats 2 and 4.

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to this site and to the vibraphone as well but I'm posting here my video of practicing blues improv. I'll be happy to hear back from you guy's what you hear on what areas of my playing I should aim my focus more. Sometimes it does feel that there is so much stuff to work on but I always have to pick one and stick to that for good amount of time, for now it is a blues vocabulary. Thanks a lot. Best, Martin

🎬 Working on Time Pt. 3: Simple Blues with Four-Note Voicings

Goal:
Play through a simple three-chord blues using four-note voicings, while locking in your time with the metronome on beats 2 and 4 at a medium tempo. This lesson builds on Part 2 by applying the foundational third and seventh movement into fuller voicings across an entire 12-bar form.

What you’ll practice:

I live Takashi. I think that's his name. I have checked him out online for years. I swings great! 

🎬 Lesson 2: Building Time Through 3rds and 7ths – Intro to the Blues
Goal: Develop internal time and harmonic awareness by isolating key movements within the blues progression.

In this lesson, we’ll begin working with small sections of a blues form using dominant chords. The focus is on identifying and connecting 3rds and 7ths—especially how they voice-lead smoothly when chords move by fourths.

🎯 Goals:

Just found this. Check it out. It has to be AI Generated right? It's almost pretty good, but tune forms and the progressions are weird.
