In this lesson I break down 4 different ways to solo over Bb 'Rhythm' changes.
I find 'rhythm changes' to be one of the most difficult things to play in jazz, because it's so well known. It requires internalizing some basic bebop language as well as harmonic concepts that can help you play more freely and melodically over the chord progression.
Hopefully these tips will help you in your practicing as they have in mine.
Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe! Leave a comment with the title of your favorite 'Rhythm Changes' tune.
New videos every Wednesday.
Everything is fully transcribed and available for FREE at my website!
The 4 approaches are:
1) Keep it SIMPLE!
2) Let's Get Moving!
3) "Once More, with Feeling"
4) The Cadences
At the end of the video there is also a 2 chorus improvisation that I've transcribed and included in the sheet music.
Beautiful playing..!
Good Bait
Flintstones

...dear lord Tim. These are the MOST helpful videos out there! Thank you so much for demystifying the different approaches to this stuff. :)
Thanks! I need to make some more.
Great video. The section on the cadence was especially helpful. Thank you!
Favourite jazz tunes: Alone together, Jordu, The preacher, What a little moonlight can do among others....
Finally a clear explanation of the basic things!
Thanks Tim for all your videos!
Our life would not be the same without them!
"No moe" is a Rhythm Changes I like a lot, by Sonny Rollins.

Hi Tim, really appreciated this video on RC. It has helped me a lot. I'm a guitarist but I love swing of vibraphonists!!!
Gracias Tim. Estoy seguro de que eres un hombre noble. Tu generosidad y amabilidad se expanden a miles de kilómetros. Tu música me transmite muy buenas vibraciones. From now on you are my friend so I will follow you. Congratulations for your lessons

Lester Leaps In, which has a classic must learn solo by Lester Young, Flintstones is a fun one to play also. Any of the Charlie Parker ones are amazing ( like Moose the Mooch,) Dizzy Gillespie had some sing a long ones like Oop Bop Sha Bam !
Great Job Tim. 1000 thx
Wow, Tim! Thanks! This helpful, even for a trumpeter.
Tim, thank you! Nobody ever broke it down for me like this-I really appreciate it.
You're welcome! No one did it for me either...eventually I figured it out :)
Tim Collins You’re a freakin genius!!! :-)
Brillant! Thanks a lot
Thank you for these informations !
I like Eternal Triangle, by Sonny Stitt. Thanks for the guidance!
Super Cool Video Tim!!!
Your videos are excellent. Wish you had the bandwidth to do even more!
Thanks! More are coming.
Amazing! Thank you!
and my favorite: Eternal Triangle!
Hello from France, Tim, I like your vidéos very much, have something about got rhythm comping, with fast tempos for four mallets ? Think you, your are formidable !!
great videos, very high quality!
You are too good to us, Tim.
great video again! an awesome rhythm changes tune i got introduced to by one of my teachers is "bite your grandmother" on a steve swallow record called "real Book"
YES! I forgot about that one - that whole album is awesome. Jack DeJohnette just destroys it on there.
i remember when i heard this tune the first time, i thought "what the f* is that" ;) what an amazing line up!
Maravilloso, gracias desde Mérida Venezuela, Thank you and Bless you.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
another great one!!
Hey Tim,
You think you can make a jazz composition related video? Really liking the content lately! Keep it up!
Actually I've been thinking about this. I will do one for sure - I'm just trying to think of the best way to go about it. What specifically would you like to see?
Cool Video! Thank you for sharing! I developed a healthy love hate relationsship with rhythm changes🤪
hehe - yeah that's how I would describe my relationship with it as well
What is the typical Rhythm Changes key for the B section? Does it move a half step, whole step, a fourth away?
typically it's D7, G7, C7, F7, but variations on it include D7, Db7, C7, B7, or adding the ii-7 before each V7 chord in the progression: Am7 D7, Dm7 G7, Gm7 C7, Cm7 F7 etcetera.
What made you choose Germany?
5* !!!!!!! And how about comping to rythm changes on the vibe ? There's nothing about that on Internet , as far I know.... Anyway thanks a lot for this little gem !
You're welcome - thanks for the suggestion! And.. I originally was going to put a little something in here about comping but then it just became so much work for what I already had. I'll do it in another video I promise ;)
I can't wait (but,i can wait !) to see the video ! I think there's still many things to do, to study, to discover, to make vibes full authority comping instruments.
Hi Tim, thanks a lot again for all your teachings. Please, could you explain why is possible to use Bb blues scale in bars 5, 6, 7, and 8? What is the "secret" to recognize this situation? (I'm sorry for my english).
No problem - there isn’t really a ‘secret’ to it. Remember that the Blues Scale isn’t really used in the way that other scales are used traditionally. It’s generally placed on top of other harmony. It works ok there just because it’s not too dissonant with the chords.
I always struggle with playing a smooth melody over the bridge changes. Any tips for making a nice flowing melody that goes from say D7 to G7 etc ? Thanks for any help. Great video.
Simon Loveland try using Tritone subs.
Great stuff, where is the link to download your sheet music? Thank you for your generosity! (and great playing)
Here is the direct link without having to look for it in the store: www.timcollinsmusic.com/product/4-ways-to-play-rhythm-changes/
Thanks! I just downloaded it and bought a few more etudes while I was there :-)
Great Video!!! Is this link working these days? Thank you for your incredible videos!
Great lesson. Only one slight criticism - It would've been extra helpful if you'd put in the accent marks on the notes you hit harder. This is something that most amateur jazz players never do, yet it's critical to this type of syncopated improvising...
Once again, thanks for the lesson...
Experienced jazz musicians will know the feel of when to accent a beat, which is why many transcriptions choose to leave out articulation
You are amazing! Can you tell me what method you studied when you were young? I want buy a vibraphone and i want to study a good method (sorry for my english)
Thanks ;) long story short, I took piano lessons from age 6 but also played drums on my own. Played along with the radio, CDs, anything - I highly recommend doing it!
Thanks for answering! You are fantastic to play vibraphone and i hope to become good like you! (Sorry if i write something wrong but i'm not so good wi th english)
The "Flintstones" Theme.
Ha ;) fancy meeting you here
This is awesome! Checked out your site...what's your connection to bavaria?!
I just randomly happen to live here now :)
Whaaat?! You seemed so Ny to me...prejudice is a bitch...I'm a musician working in Berlin, but I'm from Munich and studied in Regensburg. Were are you living? Do you give lessons? I'm a Jazz lover but rock player and love your style of teaching! Cheers!
I'm from NY but I've lived in Munich since about 2010. Send me an email if you are ever back in town!
Definitely will do! Lookong forward! Let me know if you are in Berlin!
Standing slow clap
Ha!
A question: if you are not going to be comping and don't need four mallets, like in the exercise here, if it's for yourself and not a demo, do you play with only two?
Nowadays I actually mostly play with four - but it's harder to see what I'm doing from the overhead camera.. but if it's a gig where I have to play REALLY loud then I might just play with two to get a little extra power. Actually I might do a video of 2 vs. 4 at some point.
Tim Collins Great! I'm looking forward to that!
What mallets are you using here? They sort of look like Promark's Evelyn Glennie Signature 3s, and sound pretty similar too.
Those are the hard Arthur Lipner Vibe mallets from Mike Balter. Not my favorite by I used them in this video just to try them out.
@@TimCollinsVibes Ahhh, okay. They have a very similar design to the EG3s. I was curious, in part because I use the Evelyn Glennie marimba/vibe mallets, and don't often see anyone else using them. What would you say your favorite mallets are?
@@sirryantheharmonicist5872 I made a video about it a couple weeks ago ;) But in general I like the Friedman mallets, the Innovative Percussion RS251 and the old Albright Mallets the best.
@@TimCollinsVibes I'll have to check that one out then, haha. I like the Friedmans a lot too, I've been using them 90% of the time, for the better part of a year or so. They've got a really nice feel to them. Haven't tried the IPs or Albrights, but I think I might take a look at them to see if I'd like them.
