Hello everyone. Here is a gem. This must be why we don't see vibes players in music videos...we gotta take a lesson from this guy!
And just to make sure my ears aren't tricking me...there is no vibraphone in this entire audio? x-D
Hi everyone,
I've been moving to Philadelphia for school and haven't had much time to finish these lessons, but I managed to piece this one together (apologies for the lack of visual aesthetic, I don't have a great setup here yet). I should be finishing up more soon (McCoy Tyner part 2, George Shearing, Benny Green, etc.)
"My Ship" by Kurt Weill. Working on this classic song for solo vibraphone with a focus on a number of areas including orchestration, dampening, reharm, voicings and counterpoint. A beautiful song with so many wonderful versions from many of the jazz greats.
hope you like it,
best, Stefan
This is pretty amazing. It's 1000 sounds and it basically fits in the palm of your hand. Made for percussionists.

Hi everyone! Here is a video that I made on some things that I have been learning from John Coltrane's solo on "Take the Coltrane" (Duke Ellington).
I've attached a pdf that includes examples of Coltrane's use of tritone subs and triad shapes that I will talk about in this video. I've also attached the pdf of the full solo in case you'd like to check these out in context!
"In My Life" by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Some late night practice sight reading some songs from a Beatles fakebook. Good practice since many of the songs are in most of the sharp keys. This is one of my favorites. A legacy of so many memorable and well crafted tunes.
