Let's Comp

OK have we looked at chords and harmony enough? Not including all the other stuff on the site that would fit into this category. There's a ton now about chords and harmony. We've analyzed tunes, broken harmony down. I think we've done a lot.

So I think we should now start comping. I think more than how you solo it matters how you accompany others. In fact if I was a better soloist than you and you were a much better comper than I was and you took decent solos, I think you'd be in a better position to work than me. That is as a 4 mallet player.

Forum Topic: Grips

Which grip would you recommend for someone starting to study the vibraphone ?

There are four possibilities that I have researched:

1) Burton Grip
2) Musser-Stevens Grip
3) Ed Saindon's Fulcrum Grip
4) Ney Rosauro's Extended Cross Grip

Thanks.
