"A Place in Time" - solo vibes
"A Place in Time" - solo vibraphone version of a new song inspired by two of my favorite composers - Ennio Morricone who wrote the theme for the movie "Cinema Paradiso" and Luis Bacalov who wrote the theme for "Il Postino". The song has some unexpected harmonic twists and was a bit of a challenge to pull off in terms of keeping it consistent and maintaining the mood of the piece.

"Solar" - Practice Session Excerpt
Short excerpt from a practice session yesterday playing “Solar” which is a 12 bar blues. One of the ways I like to practice is to play non stop with sort of a “stream of consciousness” approach with little planned as possible. Sometimes some good stuff and sometimes not so much. Ha!Ha!

CYDT - Play Double Stops Like This
Translation for Chinese students 中文翻譯:
CYDT 是Can You Do This 縮寫,
這個系列都會有一些小小的有趣練習可以挑戰。
這一集我們來做一些關於音階的練習:
影片中,Tony以F大調音階開始,
內棒兩隻還是演奏原來的音階進行,
左手外棒的部分,加入了在音階中的三度和聲進行,
(聽聽看Tony的示範)
試試看把同樣的觀念運用在任何你知道的音階上面,
例如影片中的:diminished scale
這個練習可以幫助我們:
1.改善只用外棒演奏單旋律的習慣
2.在演奏單旋律的線條時,也能夠加入一些和聲的色彩
Tony說剛開始的時候,他沒辦法一次做到,
花了幾天的時間才完成 ;
因為很久沒做這個練習,
現在有些生疏,所以他有空時也會繼續持續這個練習,
讓自己的腦袋持續保有豐富的點子!
我們也來試試吧!

CYDT - Dampen This Way! (READ THE NOTE BELOW)
I THINK I SAY DAMPEN I MEAN PEDAL!!!!!!!!
中文翻譯:
CYDT 是Can You Do This 縮寫,
這個系列都會有一些小小的有趣練習可以挑戰。
這集來說說踏板止音,
我們來試試,左手演奏四分音符(影片中Tony以C大調為例,左手演奏G C)
右手來演奏旋律,並專注在旋律上,目的是以思考旋律為基礎,來使用踏板止音,
演奏出乾淨的旋律線條。
你可以觀察看看,在做這個練習的時候,是不是自然而然的多以左手的和聲來思考,
運用踏板,如果是的話,先以慢速開始,大腦會慢慢知道我們的目的是要聽到乾淨的旋律線條,
多做幾次這個練習後,就可以自然而然的達到這個目的囉!
