Look at this? It's Eb maj 7 rootless. 

1. hit the root and the first closed position then go up the scale one note back and down one note.
2. first position open, up one down one
3. second position closed then open up and down 1
4. third position same
5. fourth position same

Can you figure out how to do the same thing in other keys? 

Any questions? 

I see some small mistakes but over all this is very good! If you are new to the vibraphone you should go through it.

🚨 Play a Great Blues in 3 Months – Week 6

So far, we’ve been developing lines using guide tones—focusing on 3rds and 7ths to clearly outline the harmony.

This week, we take that idea one step further.

👉 Instead of creating lines from scratch, we’re working with real vocabulary drawn from Milt Jackson transcriptions.

I’ve taken a few short phrases and used them to build a full chorus etude, showing how a small idea can be developed across an entire blues form.

Here’s my Take of Dampening and Pedaling Etude #19! Any comments, questions, and feedback is greatly appreciated

🚨 Play a Great Blues in 3 Months – Week 5

So far in this series, we’ve focused on building a strong comping foundation:

• Guide tones in the left hand
• Smooth voicing movement
• Consistent time and rhythm

This week, we shift the focus toward line development.

👉 Using 3rds and 7ths, we begin outlining the blues with single-note lines, helping you connect harmony in a clear and musical way.

I know this is up here somewhere, but I saw it again and thought I'd repost it. Wait for Red Norvo.
