Are you guys listening to our next TOTM Fried Bananas?
What tune is it based on?
Who wrote it??
What recordings are you listening to?
Start getting it in your system, it's a good tune.
Let's make this the research page for the tune. See what you can dig up.
We talk about grips a lot. I think mine is the best. Right? I should shouldn't I?
Check out Mike's. I think in anyone else's hands this grip would have so many problems. But Mike makes it sound like the best grip in the world. He uses a pick up system to play, keep that in mind. I would imagine it's hard to bang hard on the instrument with that grip.
Here are 5 great vibe players who all have different grips.
Burton
Jackson
Mainieri
Feldman
Hutchinson
A little intro into modes.

要聽到大調major和Dorian音階的差別，重點就在，一定要建立在同一個根音上，才聽得出來音階色彩的差別。

I have had some requests since the last lesson to show how to apply the ideas from lesson 1 to different chord sequences. This part of the lesson deals exclusively with taking a single rhythm (the first from lesson 1) and applying it over various tunes with different voicings. Watching it again, I feel like I played these patterns a lit bit on the fast side for cha cha so slow them down ;)
In this lesson we work on quarter note solos over Stella. Quarter note solos are sort of bass lines in a way.
This is a series of ideas, ways and techniques for you to consider when playing solo.
This is really open to other faculty and other pro players on the site. I'd love to get something from some of these other amazing players and put together a comprehensive series on solo playing!!!
Under ALL LESSONS are some examples of people playing solo. (If I've missed anything please let me know).
Then there are lessons specific to each players level.
Our next TOTM is Autumn Leaves. Here is one of my favorite versions. Do you know who Eva Cassidy is? Man check her out, she is pretty heavy. More of a blues singer, but wow, she gives me chills. She died very young and in her prime. I'm a huge Eva Cassidy fan and this is my most favorite versions of Autumn Leaves.
We won't use this to study, but I just figured I'd post it.
POST YOUR FAVORITE VERSIONS OF AUTUMN LEAVES IN THE COMMENTS. WE WILL BUILD A HUGE JUKE BOX OF AUTUMN LEAVES!
Check out the versions below. All the interpretations. Man!!!
Just a very very Quick (and Dirty) video about Getting Your Groove On. In otherwords setting up a groove and soling over it.
