If I Should Lose You Chord Study for Dan

My student Dan asked me for a chord etude on this tune. So here it is with the rhythms.

The tune: If I Should Lose You

Assignment: right in the chord symbols and analyze what I'm doing.

@Dan, why don't you write up something about this? And why don't you play it and record it and post your version. My chords then your chords.

@Everyone else: Why don't you check this out and think of some questions. I'm asking if you have questions. I'm asking you to think of questions. Create some dialogue.

All the Young Guys Will Laugh! And It's not a Vibraphone.... However

It's a mallet instrument and all these old(er) people got together to make a group. I think it's pretty cool.

There are a lot of older people on the site who picked up the vibes later in life. That's amazing to me. There is one guy, Roger who lives in central PA, he works more than I do now.

"It Never Entered My Mind" by Rodgers and Hart

Beautiful ballad written in 1940 by Rodgers and Hart. Some chord progression changes from Miles Davis and Keith Jarrett.

Now available on Amazon: Voicing Concepts For The Jazz Vibist. The book addresses a variety of voicing concepts as applied to the II-7 V7 I Maj progression as well as standards including Autumn Leaves, Green Dolphin Street, Stella By Starlight. Also included, chord melodies to You Are Too Beautiful and But Beautiful.

Spring Vibes - Germany March - A Vibes Intensive - March 17-18

We are trying something different this year in Germany. Instead of the big full blown workshop, we thought to try a two day intense workshop for players who want to quickly gather a lot of information. There will be handouts, and workshop topics to focus on specific areas of vibe playing. Then you take all this info home and practice!
