Putting the Scales in the Chords

This is an old lesson, but I think it's good. The audio is down at the bottom of the text.

So think of the scales this way. The chord tones and the notes between the chord tones are the scales. For example:

So, in the first episode, I used two mics I considered substantially different. Tony and I discussed it a bit and we agree... as different as they are, there are a lot more similarities than differences and the differences are not in quality but rather character. Of course, assisting the musicians have exactly the correct character to their sound is what defines great recording engineers like the late Rudy Van Gelder.

SO, I think this may be more of what Tony was looking for here... I chose the AKG 414B as a comparison because it is a mic I get put on me a lot in studios that don't really record vibes a lot. It's a great mic, but you can decide if you prefer it. I will do some more comparisons in later posts to other mics.

Here's a track from a recent recording session I did at my university. I have been working on my solo playing and thought it would be worthwhile to try to record a bunch of tunes. Not everything turned out as well as I would have liked, but I did learn a lot about what to work on. This was my favourite. It's a tune in 3/4 by a friend of mine. I'll post the lead sheet if anyone's interested.

I work hard on our TOTM's. VW for me is a chance to teach and learn :-)

Sorry about the pedal noise! Something was loose. And this of course was the best version! First take! The others I didn't like however they make NO noise!

Beautiful piece of music that I sketched out for vibes and a little personal interpretation.

Hi vibes lover in this lesson I'll talk about my idea of composing.
I will explain how I wrote the Aforisma n#2 from my new book called AFORISMI - 11 etudes for solo vibraphone
