Here's a VERY difficult etude illustrating many ways to accompany yourself and play. It's the head to Joy Spring and then I take a couple choruses. It's really hard but can be played. I used to have it worked up and dreading having to work it up to record it.... so I'm going to stall doing that!

below is a midi, file (with a piano sound. can anyone set the midi file up with a vibe sound?)

also i outputed the midi with a vide sound to an mp3.

Here's a slightly difficult etude that will really work on your independence. The left and right hand is separate for the whole tune. That is they work totally independently.

Here's my arrangement of Green Dolphin Street. It's an etude that explores three parts of playing the vibes, chordal playing, chordal playing and soloing and also single line soloing.

Behn Gillece plays and talks about My Ideal.

Patty Franceschi plays Etude 27 from Dave Friedman's Book Dampening and Pedaling. This is a must get book for all vibes players!!!

Pivot Chords are an interesting way to modulate. It's a great study when added to a tune you're working on!
