Hello everyone,
Here's the 2nd part to the vocabulary lesson. Please note at around 5:15, I'm referring to a chord that is F maj, but it is actually C7. In fact, it even sounds like the line fits over an Fmaj, but that's because Gm7-C7-…
Your first assignment for the 2011 workshop is simple. Post something here. How about a tune you will play at the workshop.
If you don't have a decent way to record yourself, well that then is your first assignment. Learning to play the…
AS you probably know, i have an antique ludwig and luwdig vibraphone. The dampener bar is about 2 inches deep and creates a lot of noise when pulled down. We think it may be the springs, but are not sure. There is 2 springs, one on each…
I have been studying Dana's Soulflakes for the past week or so.
Here is my solo arrangement, based on my own transcription of Dana and Marie's beautiful version. I am playing this from memory.
Also attached is a version with Band-in-a-Box…
Further to Gary's report on Warren's last gig, I got in contact with him through facebook and he nicely allowed me to upload this beautiful picture!! Only good vibes! I love it!! :o)
I had the great pleasure to see the Christian McBride band a couple of days ago, featuring vibist Warren Wolf. I got to know Warren casually about ten years ago when he was finishing up at Berklee, and I haven't had the chance to hear him…
I just finished practicing and was heading out to a gig and I saw this sunset. For me I had never seen a sunset like this. It was so inspiring.
btw - I personally think we should all document our lives and travels as vibe players, talk…
Its obvious to me that people are signing up each day. The new members chart is constantly changing. Correct me if i am wrong, but i get the feeling that less than 25% of the members actually click on the forums. In other words, we need…
I'm heading to St. Maarten. I'll check in down there. Marie's in charge so behave!
Behn is going to post some lessons while I'm gone. I'm making this like I won't see you guys for a few days, however, I have two routers with me, an Ipad a…
Hi all,
I found this practice mp3 from about two months ago. I remember that I wanted to post a version of this tune, but I never ended up posting because of a part of the melody that slightly tripped me up. It really bothered me at the…
Are the TOTM's helpfully? Some of you guys are quiet but I know you're off practicing them.
What's our next tune? Another standard? Modal?
Here are some ideas:
So What - tap into some modal stuff. this tune is deceptively simple.

This badge, or logo, may be the only one around. We may never know. There could be several more, but to our knowledge, there is no more vibraphones with these badges, or logos. What do you think?

Hey, isn't it Tj's birthday today? And if I'm not wrong it's a great one this year!! Tj is not "noisy" like me. But he's working hard "in the shade" here, and (among other things) making the winter europe workshop a warm moment!!
Let's…
My buddy says there are not a lot of good musicians on this Island (St. Maarten). Man if this is how I lived, I get it. All I want to do is sit out here and watch the water!
I can for one say absolutely for sure that I'm the best vibe…
This is a picture of my set of ludwig and ludwig vibes. All wood frame with non graduate bar, motor, red string, and nuts on the dampener for dampening adjustments.

They did a great job. i grew up listening to this song and hearing it on vibes and violin made it sound wonderfull. I have…
I APOLOGIZE! MY HEADSET IS TOO CLOSE TO MY MOUTH. SO YOU HERE SOME DISTRACTING NOISES. AND IT'S NOT SEPARATED. I NEED TO BUY A USB MIC FOR THESE INTERVIEWS, SO I CAN GET A LITTLE DISTANCE.
But it's amazing stuff here, so listen to Mike…
This is one spontaneous sample of my practice of this piece in solo style. I tried to start free and then more on pulse, but I think it sound too nervous sometimes. To mantein good tempo playing solo is one of the challenges!. Phrases are…
This is an extended range vibraphone that I co-designed with Sonor in 1994. It was important to me that this instrument go down to Low E, so much easier to work in guitar keys which is almost everything in groove/reggae/rock type musics.…
