Let's Comp - Comping in the 17th century by Ted Wolff
This piece is the 1st movement from Bach's violin sonata # 1. There's lots of opportunity for mallet dampening. The goal is to get it to sound full and resonant, but very clean. As you move from chord to chord use good dampening and/or pedaling to make sure no notes from the previous chord ring into the current chord; making it sound sloppy.
The tempo is really slow, with an 8th note set to about 50 on the metronome. A pdf of the manuscript is included HERE

Chord Melody 2018-2019 - Falling Grace
I will get video of Audio and play through and talk about some of these.
PDF is attached.
As a fun incentive, you guys have one week (from the date of this post) to post your versions of this chord melody. I will pick a winner, probably with an online random generator.
The winner wins one pair of my new sticks. They will be out within the next week or so.
YOU HAVE TO WRITE THE CHORDS IN. Study this a bit, make sure you know what the alterations or of what I've written here.
Look to see when I have a root or when I don't.
Post any questions.

Using Pedal Points In Upper Notes by Behn Gillece
There was one part where I did a progression, and I said Cm7, but meant Cmaj7! You may not notice, but if you do, now you know what I meant!
