Practicing blues vocabulary

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:

🎬 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.
