This is a cool voicing and can be used for a few chords. Any ideas?

This etude focuses on dampening, and playing in 5. Pdf is attached.

I had a lesson online with John Daly last night. We talked about Stella and I told him I'd make a quick and dirty chord melody for him. Here it is.

If you guys find any mistakes let me know. Remember quick and dirty!

Impressive; both the music and video production. Apparently this is his own arrangement.

Here's a quick etude I wrote for Stefan and the girls of Oman. Stefan teaches the percussionists for the King of Oman. Cool gig, huh?

This will take a little work. Print out the pdf, put in the chords for the blues. Then analyze what I'm playing and put the alterations in.

Can you see:
Open voicings?
Closed voicings?
Passing Chords?

Can you hear the melody in the top voice (simple as it is).

Study the piece and talk about it here. I don't want to hand it to the girls of Oman, I want them to work for it. :-)

Can you:
Change the rhythms?

Didn't do SH** today. And that pisses me off big time. Any other pros get pissed at how much BS we have to do. I'm a struggling musician that still has to do 1-3 hours of office work every frickin' day. Add to it, running the site, teaching and buying my son dinner because he's broke and some days I want to kick and punch something or preferably someone... anyone.

So today I hate being a vibes player.

Hello Nico,

Even though you are not the manufacturer of these products I was wondering whether you could ( given your expertise )comment on the major differences between the MUSSER M58 Piper Vibe and the M55 .

Thank you.

We're welcoming back the University of Delaware percussion department. So why don't you guys introduce yourselves. Tell us what year you're in and where you're from!
