I am trying to play vibraphone with broken thumb after a stupid bicycle accident. Next week they will nail my thumb - an unpleasant imagination. But it is not acceptable not to play for 8 weeks.

John Keene
Content type: Video Embed
This is as good as I think a shuffle can be executed on solo vibes. The tune is "Almost Blues" performed by David Friedman, and I'd like to point out several things I've learned as I watched this multiple times. First, the bass line is…

Ballads - Some General Thoughts
tonymiceli
Content type: Video Upload
Translation for Chinese students 中文翻譯: 關於練習Ballads， 我們在之前的影片中提過保持速度感(Time)， 如果在家自己練習時，我們可以保持很穩定的速度感和完整度， 在跟樂團一起演奏的時候，就可以更專注在和其他樂手的互動上了。 Tony覺得有很多事情可以思考， 1. 在演奏前奏的時候，調性就可以被確立-(示範：0:54-) 保持空間感，我們的耳朵可以聽到更多的東西。 有時候甚至只演奏一個音，和弦的進行其實就已經很明確了。…

Content type: Audio Player
Amos, Try and memorize the chords on the sheet music. Think about the fact that where those notes are and however they are mixed up, as long as the bass player plays the bass note, it is that chord. Do you get it?

She's totally bad ass! I love her left hand and the independence. I think this might be where the next 4 mallet giant comes from. maybe the vibes are neither a piano or guitar but instead a Gyil!!!
