This lesson introduces a new variation, a more syncopated approach to bossa nova comping over the A section of Wave. Designed to deepen rhythmic phrasing and hand independence, this variation more closely simulates the natural, flowing feel of authentic bossa guitar patterns—adapted for vibraphone.
Don't write it down until you can play it.
Can you play it in another key?
I tried to make the easy one easy. The other has two choruses, one easier than the other.
I also tried to focus on some things like a scale or a target note.

I am making some Tik Tok MalletKat videos for Alternate mode. (The Malletkat is the pro model of electronic keyboard percussion). So I decided to play some tunes and then I thought I'll notate them as an etude for all of you.
Can you play it? I left out the pedal markings? Why? Because they are a pain to notate partly. And partly because you can listen to the pedaling of the track and study that and then at the pedaling yourself. I think it's really important to not have it all handed to you. That's too easy.

We had a great workshop week this year! In the workshop, we spent a lot of time talking about ii-V's in minor and the various structures. This etude covers a few important positions for the half diminished chord; one where the root is in the bottom and the other where b5 is in the bottom. Also, it goes through some important closed and open positions.
