I bet most of the pros have done a few house parties. I dig them because usually you're in nice houses which means wealthy people, which usually means educated people and music appreciation.
We're usually left alone and can just play with…
I just thought it was funny that nobody has seen me in anything but t-shirts on the site, so in fun, this image.

I saw a handbell player this weekend at a local art fest. I saw she had mallets and asked for a demo. I didn't know that handbells could be played with mallets.
The thing that interested me was that they can ring out when they are laying…
QDV stands for quick and dirty video. That usually means I'm swamped but I'm trying to get a lesson up!!!
Here it is and it's on dampening. Just some general ideas. As I mention I don't even think about dampening at all. So I must have it…
I spent the night practicing pedaling and thinking about my discussion with Nicofarr. So I summed it up here. Some babbling but I think you'll get the idea.
I just heard the post of nico, where he is playing just friends solo, and also the lesson tony did about solo playing as an answer to it. So I thought I'd post a tune I was working on playing solo: falling grace.
I was working on…
I saw the post and decided that I had to learn this tune. I read through it and I was instantly in love with it. I've known about this tune for a few minutes. It's great!!
In my town there is a special fiest for Children one week end per year. A giant firework on Friday night, all kinds of shows around the place, and in a park tons of games, sports, manual activities, actors in costums on stilts etc...

The Chief is a really nice tune Pat Metheny wrote and recorded on a CD called Reunion, with Gary Burton. I made this video clip for one of Tony's Vibe Hangs, and decided to post it here too.
I've included links to the Lead Sheet and an mp3…
I was thinking about practicing and was asking myself how I could make practicing ii-V-I more interesting.
So I thought it would be cool to collect a list of ii-V-I licks from great players and work on them in all keys. Fortunately I've…
Guys,
This picture was taken less than one hour ago: Philippe had left his beloved Britanny to spend a few days in Paris... and we just had our first meeting!
Our gentleman vibist was waiting hat off and large smile in the shop down my…

Mike Pinto is a 3 mallet player. He was doing some really cool things today on Blue Bossa with the 3 mallets. A sort of parallel 5th thing that was totally cool.
