Hello all,
Just a quick lesson on ending ballads (or any tune, really). I demonstrate a few different options for the final chords on a ballad so you don't always have to end on 1 or the b2. Let me know if there are any questions!
Hey everyone,
Very excited about finding this one. Been using it a lot lately. Has anyone ever heard of it? I assume I haven't invented it, but I haven't ever heard of it, either, so I'd be curious to hear if anyone's heard this before.
Trying to find ways to play tunes solo. By that I mean concepts and ways to simply play tunes on the vibes and improvise your accompaniment.
Hey everyone,
In this dampening lesson, I explain a technique I call "partial-deadstroking" and its implications for playing ballads, as well as comping on swing tunes!
Hello all,
Just another dampening lesson! This time, we're looking at staccato dampening and dead-stroking, the differences between the two, and where to use them.
Hello all,
Here's another dampening lesson! This is a cool one, and one that has become an integral part of my playing recently.
Hey everyone,
I think this is pretty cool. "Pitch bending" is something I've been messing around with on the vibes, especially in a blues context, but also in ballads and really any setting you want. Let me know what you think!
Thinking about dampening, deadstroking, voicings, and independence while still trying to swing. I've also been on a verse-learning kick recently, so I included the verse as an intro and ending. Lesson video on these techniques coming soon!

Hey everyone,
Here's a quick lesson on the three types of glissandos I find myself using, and how to practice them. I also discuss how to practice flams on vibes to help with glissandos.
