This is a good example of a basic solo arrangement for vibes. Mallet dampening should be used on the first 16 bars of the melody to keep the notes from running together. You won’t be able to use the pedal because it will be down to allow the chord voicings to ring.

I spend quite a bit of time practicing and don't always feel as if I'm progressing as desired.
I'm also one of those guys that get completely immersed in something and burn out when air runs out. So I'm adding something new to my practice options.
The Story:
I like shooting sports. ALL shooting sports! Sporting clays, skeet, hand gun sports, 3D archery, rifle, carbine... I love all of it. Especially sporting clays because I like watching the clays turn to dust. Learning to shoot has a lot in common with playing jazz.

I tend to agree. Paid-for music has now pretty much reached the ease-of-use it could've had in 2000. Now all that remains is to change the habits that were ingrained by the record companies treating customers as enemies. I don't know how long that will take.

Way cool!
So in this video the piano player (don't know who he is) is playing a transcription of the Michel Camilo recording of St. Thomas. Beside being in complete awe of the work this guy put in, and the quality level that he plays, I'm wondering why he did it. Well, I guess I know why *he* did it, but I'm wondering why playing a transcription should be in a concert. Anyone have an opinion?
