I think of modal playing as when you hang on one chord for a long time! 

Check out all the edits in this video! Just the idea of thinking about playing accurately messes me up! But target notes are important. Classical mallet players use them all the time. 

Hi all,

Dylan is a member of our VW community and he came over my house a few weeks ago to do some playing. Here's our version of Days of Wine and Roses. He sounds great and we always have a lot of fun playing two vibes!

Shapes are important for vibe players. Moving shapes around can be challenging partly because our instrument set up is a keyboard that is not symmetrical. Click here if you want to see a symmetrical keyboard!

So we need to be able to move around the keyboard with shapes with 2, 3 or 4 mallets. 3 mallet, shapes are interesting with how the mallets will move around. Take the shape A Bb and D and then play Bb B and Eb with mallets 2,3 and 4.
