Jazz Vibraphone Lesson: Turning Scales into Melody

Full PDF available at https://www.timcollinsmusic.com/killer-jazz-vibes-book-pdf 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. New videos every week!
