I saw a few new subscribers! That's great. I haven't started to promote the site yet. Just working out a few kinks. One member barryk has been combing through the site and helping me tie up the loose ends!

There's a lot more coming, I have etudes to put up, more vids and audio!

I'm in Ireland for the next 10 days, and will try to do stuff from there, however when I come back, I plan on setting up a couple 'masterclasses' where we can hang and talk about stuff.

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。

The great Mike Manieri.

One of the greatest!!

One of the greatest vibraphone players in the history of jazz.

One of the first jazz vibraphone players.

Amazing vibraphonist! I saw him play with the Dave Holland's Band and he blew me away.

Here I am practicing Blue Bossa chord solo. Got a little lost in the middle. I still need more practice memorizing the changes.

I wish the sound compression was better on the Web Streaming setting in iMovie, it seems to add tremolo even though there isn't any and adds other artifacts.

I tried my manual tremolo at the end. I think that is such a cool technique.

I love independence on the vibes. I like making things work that shouldn't work. A bass line is usually something I don't waste time on, however there's a trick here. It's an illusion. Once you set the bass line up you don't have to keep it going. Just come back to it once in a while! The only other thing is that the line has to make sense and also sound good. You can't just work out some stuff and play it. It has to accompany what the improvisation. That means the bass line has to be improvised as well!
