Recent posts got me interested in experimenting with resonators.

This blog is my repository of my experiments. Comments welcome.

A beautiful short excerpt of Joe Locke playing Polkados and Moonbeams on an Omega with the Malletech pick up system!

Beautiful playing!

Here's a whole section on scales. Very complete! Between Behn and myself it has lots of ideas and explanations to you help with chords and scales and improvising!

Morning practice time playing the classic song "Desafinado" written by the great Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim.

I'm playing malletkat with some fusion shredders at 55 Bar in Manhattan tonight if anyone is in the area. Group lead by Felix Pastorius.
Namaste.

I think back now as an old man - as many do. I still have the flame burning strong inside of me that is as vibrant as the flame I kindled when I was a young man in search of music and all the important things in life. But it's more controlled with the experiences, memories, caution and courage of an older man. I don't see things that differently now, but I see them with a more "controlled passion" and what I see is very interesting, so I'm sharing.

I'm thinking of all this stuff because the site has become very active. Which is GREAT!

I don't like the musser motor. I don't like disc's inside the bar. But that's not the point I guess.

I've been playing with the Omega wings and using the motor. Mainly on gigs with bass and drums. It really makes me play very differently. Like Milt said, the vibes are like a voice. I think he's talking about the tremolo.

If I play with bass and vibes, or just vibes, then I don't like the motor in any capacity. It interferes with the sound.
