Healthly stride vibes playing ! Enjoy

A one chorus solo version of the melody to "You Don't Know What Love Is" recorded during a private lesson today at Berklee.

Here vibes played with real brazilian rythm and feel. Not so often ...

About 10 of you guys did the mini concerts. That's great for us to come together like that. It feels a little like we performed together. So....

What if we pick a tune and all study it together with goals each week. It could even be beginner, intermediate and advanced goals. The point is we all practice together and post our work as if it's a lesson. Which it sort of is right?

What do you guys think?

We are start playing solo don't we :-). We spend a lot of time playing by ourselves! Esp when we begin.

Check out Jonathan Kreisberg's video on his solo cd (which I can't find on iTunes :-( )

Philosophically it's very interesting!

That's sad!!!!

I was talking to a student today. This student is nervous about getting out to play. This would be the students first jam session. The student is very talented and needs to get over this hump. If the student played about 5 or 6 jam sessions that would be it, they'd be fine and could get up to play with ease.

We have to play in public. This is really how we get better! And there's no excuse for not doing it. Learn tunes and get out there. People are cool and anyone who says anything negative to you is an A-hole, so don't worry about it :-).

So I recorded two versions of my mini concert for this weekend. The second one is where I botched
confirmation. So I took the first version where I played both versions with stopping and it was an ok performance.

Here is the good version of the bad version? Get it? Triste came out ok on the second version. But that's not a mini concert because I have to play 2 or more tunes without stopping :-)

Hi Everyone,
