Hey everyone,

Today we talk about further application of the pedal point using non-functional harmony based on trias superimposed to a bass note.
We can build pedal point on the root or the fifth of the tonal area in which the tune is composed and on top of that build triads that moves:
1. chromatically
2. by whole tones
3. by major/minor thirds

Today we talk about an harmonic device that I stole from bass players!
We can build pedal point on the root or the fifth of the tonal area in which the tune is composed.
I'll use the harmony of On green dolphin street to show it. Make sure to learn the melody and the changes before this lesson.

Hey guys, this is my first time playing with a vocalist on vibes, and I think I'm going to be doing a lot more of it because this was really fun. This is Matt Dennis' "Angel Eyes."

A little beauty...

Here is a dampening master in the works!

Here is another low cost idea turned into reality by applying the new possibilities of 3D printing. My next frame will be equipped with these bar posts.

My collected ideas around the vibraphone can be found here:

Hey everyone,

Another lesson on comping on ballads! We're looking at rhythmic density and ways to create an overall sense of arc with your comping, or while you're playing solo. Let me know if you have any thoughts!
