It's the shapes that are important, regardless the intellectual description. If you know the Ebmaj7#11 shape, this is easy to transpose to different keys. The shape frees you from thinking. so, the interval C to Eb is a minor 3rd. For F Blues, F goes to Ab, Using Abmaj7#11 shape for soloing over the F-7 , works on F7 too.
So happy when we get a video like this Tim. Been working on this kind of idea on guitar for What is this thing called love, though the voicings need to be a little different on guitar.
It would be great if you could do a follow up using "Line Up"/"All of Me" by Lennie Tristano. Lennie takes this idea to a whole 'nother level. I can barely get through the first complete chorus without my head spinning, Lol.
I dont own a vibrophone but i have plenty of gutars and these harmony videos are compleltely rewiring my brain These spicy voicings are just so friggin spicy!
In jazz there is a popular habit of saying for example : "I'm playing an Eb maj7#11 over Cm." For me this is rather confusing, I prefer to always think of the actual chord of the music. With this I not only keep track in my head of the real harmonic situation, but I can decide within a split of a second to include other chord notes, extensions of alterations etc, which means: more freedom and flexiblity of thinking.
Not only are you an excellent player but a supreme master teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Muchas gracias desde Puerto Rico.
That’s some sweet playing there.
Tim, you da man! A great musician and educator. A rare bird to have both of these skills.
Always nice to have a roadmap into some instant returns. Thanks man! Kind regards, Daniel

Agreed!
great video. I never hear people talk about visual shapes on piano, guitar, bass, and vibes enough
That’s because it is the secret. Shhhh!
This is a really great video for all instruments to help visualize chord shapes and how you can use them in a live solo!
Thanks Tim!
Beautiful thanks!

Thanks for putting this out Tim! Also, love the new album (For Good People).
You’re welcome and thanks!

I agree! It took years before that idea clicked with me.

Im sorry if this is a dumb question but what's a shape?
Would this apply to the Dominant 12 Bars Blues? And how would that be different?
Sure- just use major thirds on the C and F chords instead.
These are the PC chords right?
Mr. PC? Yeah.
Sweet! I was able to see it. This is also helpful to learn more about how to voice on vibraphone yeah?
If you don't play them you'll never know what they sound like
