How are you guys getting through all this?

I hope you got some money for food and living. The idea of fellow vibe players struggling for simple things kills me.

I am definitely going nuts. Fear, unknown, WTF! All that.

I do know this, we need to be active and have goals. That's how I'm handling it. I'm playing and recording myself constantly. I think I'll try and put up a tune a day. I did two today, one had a little glitch in it. Not sure how big of a deal it is.

I'll post the other one.

“Tea For Two” - an impromptu run through tonight of this classic that I haven’t played for years. Helps maybe a little bit playing music for a brief respite of thinking what’s going on in the world right now. Thoughts and hope for everyone out there. It is affecting us all. :(

Thanks to the COVID-19 outbreak, cancelled gigs, and lots of time on my hands, I settled into transcribing another Walt Dickerson solo. This one, like Bacon and Eggs, is over a very simple short form. It is all a waltz romp on C major.

This is a first quick & dirty recording with our first self made bar set. This was part of a thesis work of a mechanical engineering student (no musician).

The frame and bars are part of several thesis works to set up a demo project showing the whole computer aided engineering process and can be used licens free.

I am very glad about the sound we received.
This is a dry recoding without effects!

I will come out with more details about what we did step by step.

I hope, you like it too.

Stuck and home and starting writing lines over Bluesette. Heres the first A. If this interests folks I'll add more and maybe explain some of the thinking behind the lines. PDF attached. I played it mostly right.
Sorry for the clanky vibes sound, no resonators because everyone in my buiding is cooped up at home.

So far, we are waiting for you!

Here's a sample of the blues train.

I would love for some of you guys to get on it.

Here's the original link with the audio.

Listen to that French baroque piece written in 1717 and see how modern it can sound with a feel of jazz improvisation. It’s so fun to play ! ;-)

These are individual tracks each of one note on the vibraphone.

Download this. Put it on your phone like a CD.

Play the "album", set it to shuffle. Play a note, stop it. Find it on your instrument. Eventually You'll be able to let it play and follow it. It's super great ear training.

Just do it, 5-10 minutes a day. After a while, 5 is plenty.

Don't go fishing for the write note. Use your ears if you play a wrong note. Sing you're note if it's wrong and then sing the other note.

Don't waste a lot of time thinking,'use the force'.

Some ideas for things to do while we are all huddled up in our homes because of the Corona Virus. It's also for after all this is over as well. It's using Play alongs and Playlists to keep tunes in your head!
