A quick heads up to say that Paul Jefferies is one of the featured instrument makers on the BBC 4 (UK TV) Scrapheap Orchestra.

Scrapheap Orchestra

Here one of the tunes we played during our first gig last Thursday, "If I had You". We played many others but only this one was recorded entirely. Simple, no complicated harmony, not our best (some mistakes - ahem), but I'll remember this date forever as the first time I played 4 mallets in front of an audience, and without guitar or piano help ..., and as I owe this to VW, I think VW has to be the first to have access to the video !

Stephane Beuvelet - drums
Xavier Cortazar - Bass

Another great lesson. Make sure you know it really well!

Here's a video discussing some patterns that will help develop an ear for diminished sounds. Use the pdf for reference.
