I was having fun playing around with parallel 6ths. They sound so cool on the vibes. I tried it on piano and it doesn't sound as nice. Anyway, I started playing a song that I recognized but don't know the name. Can anyone name that tune (attached).

Thanks,
Barry

Beautiful!!!

To this day, I still love Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, The Stones, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix... and of course The Beatles… and many other pop bands. I love them just as much as I do any music. They all played perfectly (to me). And today with my ears having decades of learning, listening and educating, I find this music to be even more astonishing.

This was a recent internet concert from my basement!

The pdf he talks about is below. You can download it.

Here's the handout for the class Wed. Nov., 5th 2008. (7pm)

btw- Larry is coming from a recording session so if for some reason he's late I'll post the change in times here.

Check out the cool font Larry uses in his Finale Program!

First and foremost you have to master the Open and Closed Voicings Excercise. You should spend months on this exercise! Click on this link and scroll down to open and closed voicings: https://www.vibesworkshop.com/book/chords/marie-noëlle/050316

I'm very appreciative to mon amie Marie-Noelle on her kind words about the tunes on my MySpace page with the H-Factor, a local Philly jazz group. She pointed out to me that since previously, my page was set to private, that nobody was able to access my page to hear them. So I unblocked it. If you have time, please give a listen and tell me what you think. One tune, "That Old Devil Moon", features the great Larry McKenna on the tenor saxophone. The others members are Rob Henderson, the leader, on drums, Pete Colangelo an bass, and myself.

I think it's all of you guys, you're having an affect on me. For a while I wasn't doing a lot of listening. I don't mean transcribing or figuring stuff out, I mean listening just to listen.

I've noticed over the last few weeks that it's been really exciting to just listen to stuff!! I think it's from all the discussion around here!

Here's the link for the class, starts at 7: http://www.mogulus.com/thephillysoundlive

Larrys' going to try his class again this Wednesday night.

Larry is not a vibe player, he's a sax player and an incredible musician. Vibe players can learn a ton from Larry!

I'm not sure what he's going to cover but I'm sure it will be something great. If there's a handout I'll scan it in and post it before the class.

Come back here and I'll have the link to the workshop.
