If you're more advanced try and figure ways to solo on this as well.

Hello all – I am working on a set of pieces and the first movement is a solo vibraphone piece titled "Meditation" the piece itself will be called "Thoughts" here is a rough sketch of the first movement. I know for the "acoustic traditionalist/purist" might not like my sound as I'm trying some reverb with pickups and other little gadgets. About two years ago I started teaching an audio class; which has got me interested in everything sound!Take care and I hope all of your doing well. Jim PS I would appreciate any feedback – I'm not the super Pro, but love playing vibraphone :-)

okay, so when I first started studying in Berlin, David told me to write an etude every week. which was super challenging a couple of years ago. but seeing the progress I made through this - not only with my technical skills but also challenge myself creatively - I found it to be a great great way of making progress.

i filmed the whole thing for you. hope you find motivation and inspiration with this.

thid etude is about comping yourself with the left hand. i made this whole thing in about 30 minuets. maybe 40. so its not perfect, but you get the idea.

Correction - Think of the D mixlydian phrygian chord as a D triad with an Eb.

Attached is an example of how to play The chord part of Flamenco Sketches on the vibes.
