Here are some exercises and info I gave a student on Solar.
WANDERING SCALES - I think it's a good exercise to be able to move from scale to scale from wherever you are. Here's one chorus of that.
SOLO TO TRANSCRIBE - Transcribe it!
(look out - hardcore vibe geek post ahead)
Today at the vibes coffeehouse someone asked "Where are all the other vibes players? Why aren't they here?"
There were 27 of us on the Zoom call today, but there are around 5000 vibesworkshop members on this site. Only 25-40 of us are the hardcore bunch tuning in each week.
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" - Vibes and Strings. Recorded the string track and then played vibes over that. The strings switched from left to right half way past the clip which was not intentional. I wish I had real live strings but I can't afford it. :) An appropriate song I think for the time. Best wishes for everyone out there. Ed
Tony is challenging me to do a 3 tune mini concert every week for the next few weeks. This week I am working on Upper Manhattan Medical Group, Alice in Wonderland, and All of You. I have been thinking about how to widen my range when playing solo and separating the ranges of the accompaniment and melody. I tend to shy away from the very top register of the instrument but I think it would be beneficial for me to start using it more.
That simple. Trade choruses with me on Blue Bossa. Record it and post it here!
Sambinary
This video examines an original samba pattern for drum set (and mallet instruments) that explores four metric perspectives and two approaches for the beat (bass drum).
I had a lot of fun doing this.
Sometimes I think I like real corny stuff and it doesn't appeal to anyone. But F it, that's the way it is.
This is one of my all time favorite songs and I loved playing it and making this video.
