Hi
Just thought I'd share an arrangement I did for a college percussion major student last year.
Its Piazolla's Libertango which many vibes workshop members have expressed a liking of his music so I thought I'd share this.
Its for 5…
Here are a bunch of lessons on licks. There's also a lot of talk about licks on this site, players have different opinions of them as you'll see if you look around.

Here's some of the Teddy Charles talk on the site.
If you find that I missed something please post it in the comments with the title 'Update Teddy Charles' and I'll add to this.
I emailed Teddy tonight and invited him to the site. I hope he takes my offer to be our guest. It would be great to get his insight on this instrument!
Keep your fingers crossed.

Ed Saindon's 'Life's Blessing'. I asked Ed if he would make a solo recording to get us started. Hopefully he will. Regardless let's all start checking this tune out and talking about…

Teddy Charles
Hi all,
In his last post, Gary Burton talked about Teddy Charles. I thought it was a good opportunity to go ahead on our little tour of great vibists lives.
In a former post, we had talked about how many vibists had long…
the duet is on the site. it's on the front page at this point.
listened to you more. think about your voicings. make sure the harmony stands out. compare to mine and we can talk next time we have a lesson. off to bed.
I am still working on Sword of Whispers. I am internalizing it a bit more but my timing and hand independence could use some work. I was trying to keep a pulse in the left hand, using the rhythm of Vince Guaraldi's "Cast Your Fate to the…
