Jazz Vibraphone Lesson: Turning Scales into Melody

[@georgevorres5240]

Your lessons are not only for vibraphone mate,you are a great musician and great educator.I am a bass player and got a lot of help

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Thanks! I appreciate it.

[@edusantos1207]

It is about music

[@gregoryagogo]

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

[@cyrillagonaute1134]

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.

[@chrisevans1546]

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!

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Thanks! I might do an updated version of this vid.

[@turjoe5208]

Thank you so much for this video! I’m going into jazz ensemble at my high school and I’m trying to learn how to improvise and this was very helpful

[@musterionsurly]

You make it so accessible, it looks doable. Another great lesson and demo.

[@Mark-gk2vo]

I could listen to you play all day. Really sweet.

[@burkeshaw]

Tim; I was playing KZbin 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!!!! John Shaw

[@tipofelice]

Excellent job! You play with a beautiful touch and very melodically also. Enjoyed the lesson. Thank you!

[@Clara_Elena]

Your videos are gold, I wish I had found your channel earlier in my journey. I'm a flutist btw, but I like the way you explain melodies.

[@SobotkaMartin]

Tim, please more of these videos!! They are very usefull!! Thank you for your previous works.

[@timmyboy11000]

Fantastic video, very inspirational for my vibes playing and great to have the pdf download

[@colinbray2187]

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]

+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.

[@daltoneast5251]

Tim Collins What do you mean by short phrases

[@TimCollinsVibes]

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

[@Power-9Hunnid]

Did anyone think about Miles Davis from the C minor part.

[@konahawaii9695]

You always make me want to play the vib. Oh...I miss vib. I want it. lol

[@jimsaintamour2]

Hey Tim, This is a great video and very helpful! I have my first solo vibes gig tomorrow, and I need to do a bit of improvised soloing, so this helps to give me ideas.

[@GordRobert]

Thank you!!! Please keep them coming! I'm really enjoying your approach and how you're laying out these videos.

[@mikesosa1146]

Thanks Tim. This is so helpful even though I am a beginner.

[@michaelhayes6887]

Nice lesson. Thanks. Playing slow is really important for pedaling too.

[@NickG123098]

You’re really awesome!

[@CSAN-II]

Awesome exercise.

[@edusantos1207]

Vision is very important

[@tannerwalsom9565]

Thanks! really like the videos you have been posting :)

[@deegeorge5711]

This is an instrument that scares and confounds me because I’ve never understood it. I never took the time to really see what’s going on. Love this vid! I get it!

[@herminioorozco7187]

Where can I buy it, I need so fast, can you help me? I am from Guatemala C.A.

[@edwardaviles6665]

Excelente my freind!

[@sstupid__marimbaplayer]

Your so awesome dude I'm going to be in the marching band at my school in three more months and my band teacher he put me on vibraphone!!!! Im so excited and you helped me know some of the keys thx

[@savvyvenus]

Got a whole song? I need more please.

[@gregoryagogo]

Bewitched, season 2, closing credits... I'm petty sure that's a vibraphone run... I would love to hear that run without that orchestra... Can you do it?!

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Do you have a link to it?

[@gregoryagogo]

@@TimCollinsVibes As I listen to the theme again, the whole recording is loaded with Vibraphone! I LOVE this sound! I made a mistake...it' Season 3 closing credits: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKOthpmHmbyLeNk

[@fredericoazevedo5599]

Amazing! Just in extasy!

[@MrBluoct]

Thanks! What is that set -up you use?

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Musser M48 Vibraphone

[@stephen1888]

What a boss.

[@7ainiko]

how do u play this scale

[@michaelhayes6887]

You want to squeeze the note out of the pedal like toothpaste out of a tube when playing slow. You are great. Thanks!

[@icaroioi]

Why C Minor? I don't understand its relation to Bb Major

[@TimCollinsVibes]

C Dorian is the second mode of Bb major.

[@Bellaqu4]

What mallets are you using?

[@TimCollinsVibes]

+Daisy Mulligan those are the David Friedman mallets- they never break ever.

[@hectoralvarado9359]

Why are vibraphones, or Marimba soooo expensive.So are pedal harps.I saw a Musser vibraphone.I wish I could get one as a donation. One with 4 octaves.Not fair!!

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

[@Foulfootwear]

You're way less likeable in this old as dirt video. You've come a long way, amigo!

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Haha! I think after I made this and watched it, I realized it was pretty lame. It’s all part of the development process :)
