The vibraphone is a strange instrument. Part doorbell, part piano, part percussion, with ornamental parts that don’t really do much and an electric motor to boot.

Still practicing my soloing. Working on lines. I love lines. I wish i could play lines like these heavy cats i admire on the site ( Tony, Dave, Ed, Behn, Rusty ... ). Working on.
Working on simplicity and clearity. Phrasing, tempo, harmo.
Soloing is often to much confuse. Keep the things clear man ! I always says that to me !
It's a work in progress.
I love doing that.

Marie, this is for you. It's easier to read this then to read what's in the real book.

Remember if this is overwhelming try to just go one bar at a time. And remember..... No pressure!

Simple ear training! Download this zip file, unzip it, add it itunes or burn it to a CD. Set it to random and then follow the notes. Pause them in the beginning. Figure each note out with as few tries as possible. DON'T GO FISHING! That's what I call it when someone just starts hitting random notes to figure out the pitch they just heard. Take your time.

If you play a wrong note, sing the wrong note and then sing the note on the cd. Check out the difference and then play the right note. Make sense?

Hey guys! Happy new year! This is a video of me jamming with the christos rafalides band (playing my vibes ofcorse hahahahah). This trio is amazing and its christos on vibes, petros klampanis on bass and bodek janke on drums-percussion. Also a very good greek drummer kostas anastasiadis joined the jamm leaving bodek playing the percussion part :).

Check it out

thanks
