    In this video, I explain how to to turn scales into melodies. Most melodies follow similar rules - that the main chord tones in a scale get accented on the downbeat (or a rhythmically strong position within the phrase), and the non-chord tones are used to pass between the chord tones. I demonstrate using a B flat major scale, while moving between the B flat major 7th chord and the C minor 7th chord.
    I'm using the David Friedman series of vibraphone mallets in this video: amzn.to/2F3g7Gk

    I think the vibraphone is one of the more sophisticated, classy sounds out there!

    I just discovered the instrument behind that sound i heard on so many jazz songs ! I thought it was organ with a special tone...
    I'm now officially in love with jazz vibraphone.

    Tim; I was playing RUclips roulette and found you. Your demonstration just showed me why I LOVE the "vibes" so much - from Lionel Hampton to The Checkmates ("The Percolator"). A MOST EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!! Thanks for posting!!!!

    Great helpful video but it is very difficult to follow what notes you are playing as you are using 4 mallets. is it possible to just use 2 ? Colin Bray

      @TimCollinsVibes  7 лет назад

      +colin bray yeah I'll probably do that in the future. I pretty much solo only with the two inner mallets in this video if that helps at all.

      @TimCollinsVibes  7 лет назад +1

      Little sets of three or four notes.. beginning and ending with one of the chord tones.

    6 years too late, Tim but I just want to say this video has helped me so much even as a guitarist.
    I love vibraphones so I came here just to experience what a lesson would be like, but found tons of great information.
    Thanks!
