Shop talk time!? Advice needed..

Hello all – I'm sure this topic is not very interesting for those who know that the musician makes the music, (for the most part) but I'm in a position to buy a second vibraphone...(I got approved for 0% – but don't want to go into hugh debt so the budget is tight) do not want to go past 4500 bucks – keeping that in mind.

Knowing that an instrument is a personal choice and most have limited budgets. I will be using this instrument for practice, (most of my practicing is on the second floor with a very tight stairway) special concerts and doing some personal recordings..

Vibraphonissimo

Hey Everyone,
Do you remember me badgering you for your birth years so I could include your names chronologically in a "poem"? Well, the book in which that will be published is ready for printing. It's called Free Verse and Photos in the Key of Jazz. There are 36 verses and all but one is made up of only jazz song titles, the shortest with four and the longest, "My Little Brown Book," with 73! The verse "Vibraphonissimo," breaks the mold as a list of 104 vibes players resting upon the two who pioneered the instrument.

TOTM - Green Dolphin Street - Quick Tip

This is being translated to Chinese students.

歡迎來到www.vibesworkshop.com,我們正在討論我們的每月一曲Green Dolphin Street,這集我只是要講個小東西,這首曲子的B段(~music~),然後走到Fm7(~music~),好!Fm7的五級(V)是什麼?C7對不對,或是F#( Tritone Substitute),所以放這些進去,如果你打Cmaj7,後面接個II-V到F#m7(~music~),聽這個!(~music~)ok!(~music~)只是個小撇步,放C7或F#7在Cmaj7後面,如果你聽到有人演奏很有趣的聲音在Cmaj7後面,那就是進下個和弦Fm7之前,接個屬和弦(Dominent Chord),並且你也能夠演奏三全音代理屬和弦(Tritone Substitute),所以我們有F#(~music~),聽起來不錯對不對!!(~music~)ok!希望這對你有幫助。這是個小撇步!

*三全音代理屬和弦(Tritone Substitute)
