Hi Guys this is the third lesson of a series called Comping 101 where I will cover a lot of the secret of this refined art.
This month I will cover some basic Ideas about comping.

Vibraphone solo by David Kovins

An awesome ballad by a great composer!!!

Chinese translation is for Chinese students
前奏（intro）
有很多不同的方式可以為一首曲子加一些前奏，
今天要講的叫做b5 intro。
因為開始的那個音是從曲子調性的主音算起來的降第五音。
一路下行，主要的目的是帶領到第一個和弦（PDF中是Fmajor）

通常我們如果用這個intro，會讓他是8小節intro，也就是像PDF中寫的。
當然在這些和聲配置（Voicing）中間，你可以插入其他不同的Voicing，
增添色彩。

So here's what we will do for 25 days starting Dec. 5th. We will post 8 bars a day for you to work on.

Take the 8 bars master them then move on to the next 8 bars. Each 8 bars will have a topic and a point to them. They will not all be related.

So get ready for 8BD

I see Yuhan hanging around on the site. She's a great vibe player from Taiwan.

Here's a cool piece (I think) she wrote.

Hi Everyone,
It's nearly turkey time in the US. I hope everyone gets to spend the day with good people eating good food. Good weather wouldn't hurt. :)

hey, long time since i´ve been posting something.i´m busy doing a new program with my duo partner on sax and we added an actor who is reading poetry. this is just a part of a very long complex tune and i left out the poetry because it´s in german only. i only play the malletkat and it´s just very simple but perfect to create atmosphere.

hope you like it...

I found out today that Marimba One now makes a set of vibes that they call One Vibraphone. Has anyone played one of these? How would you rate it on sound quality, portability, quality of construction, etc.

Thanks,
Ted
