Just like the minor 7th chord exercise. These exercises are great for beginners it makes you think about harmony.
Vibraphone Technique: Dampening and Pedaling
By: David Freeman
Etude #3
Lesson Material with instructor Tony Miceli.

A little Saturday morning practice before heading out to mow the lawn. Ha!Ha! Playing "Don't Forget (Renato's Theme"), a beautiful song composed by the great Pat Metheny. I love Pat's writing and the sound and feel of my M39 Vic Firth mallets.
Here's a great version of 23 by my student Morgan Walbridge
A few choruses recorded today by a student in a private lesson. We were talking about left hand comping on There Will Never Be Another You.
Cool exercise to work on Improv and Minor 7th Chords.
With Horace Silver
"Fortune Smiles" - one of my favorite songs from Keith Jarrett. I'm a huge fan of his playing and compositions. This song was recorded on one of my favorite recordings released in 1971 and titled "Gary Burton and Keith Jarrett"
OMG! How about taking this setup for a 50 dollar gig! Maybe these guys are famous?
Well, I'd rather play the vibes and play tunes, but I'm sure lots of people like there music!
So don't complain the next time you have to change your cord!!!
