One of my favorite songs from Pat Metheny. A lovely song beautifully played by Pat. The album "Letter From Home" is also one of my favorites from Pat and his group. Here's my take on it. I was going for a subtle version with restraint and a focus on playing counterpoint using dampening. When Pat was playing with Gary in the 70s, I remember going to Gary's office at Berklee and many times seeing Pat dabbling on the vibes. He sounded good too!

這一集我們仍然要講intro，但是並不是要給你新的和聲進行，
而是要給你一個不同的概念，
我們之前講的都是和弦式的打法，但是其實你可以演奏線條性的旋律（lines），
只要非常清楚的讓大家聽到和弦的性質以及色彩，
小技巧是，在快要進入曲子的前一兩個小節，你可以開始演奏一些和弦（voicing），
讓前奏聽起來清楚，讓大家可以知道你演奏到哪裡。

Fairly easy drive into Boston this morning so I had some practice time before class. Warming up with a bluesy version of Duke Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore".

A note regarding the vibes in the sixties.

The link above is to the only live footage I can find of the Tim Hardin band that played on the live Tim Hardin 3 concert. You'll see that in the opening and closing shots, Mike Mainieri plays the vibes as he did on the original album.
