A little experiment here. Subscribers can now blog. It might be a good way for us all to keep in touch. Why not start a blog and talk about what you're doing. Then some of the 'faculty' and respond.
There are 4 faculty members here. You'…

How to adjust your time settings.
If you notice when you post something or when you write something in the shout box(you can see the time a shout was entered by holding your mouse over it!) that the time it displays is incorrect, you have…

Here's another etude that I wrote, in F major this time. This has a much larger focus on dampening, with a repeated phrase throughout that the etude is built around. The motive is moved through different keys and modes before returning and…
Hey everyone,
I was inspired by Joe Locke at the Vibe Master Week to do some thinking on diminished chords, and to figure out how to play over them in a way that doesn't just sound like random meandering on the chord tones or the…
Today we talk about further application of the pedal point using non-functional harmony based on trias superimposed to a bass note.
We can build pedal point on the root or the fifth of the tonal area in which the tune is composed and on…
Today we talk about an harmonic device that I stole from bass players!
We can build pedal point on the root or the fifth of the tonal area in which the tune is composed.
I'll use the harmony of On green dolphin street to show it. Make sure…

Wanted to share a short arrangement I did of Chi-Chi with my friend Alex on sax! The style change from bossa to swing in the head came funny enough from messing around singing the melody and body-drumming. It was a lot of fun to make and…
Hey everyone,
Here's a solo vibes version of A Night in Tunisia I recorded the other day. Tried to keep the epic 16th note solo break, the interlude, and the shout chorus in my arrangement. I slow down a tiny bit on the solo break, but oh…
Hey everyone,
Another lesson on comping on ballads! We're looking at rhythmic density and ways to create an overall sense of arc with your comping, or while you're playing solo. Let me know if you have any thoughts!
Hey everyone,
The next couple comping lessons will be focused on ballads. In this one, I share how I think of the range of the instrument -- like an orchestra, with a low range for bass movement, a middle range for melody and/or chords,…
Hola a todos!
Comparto acá mi humilde versión del estudio n°11 de "Dampening and Pedaling".
Traté de utilizar varias técnicas de dampenig para desarrollar la interpretación del estudio y de paso practicar y profundizar un poco más en el…
Hey everyone,
Here's the third and final part of my series on comping over a medium swing F blues, and how to give it that rhythmic drive a full rhythm section has. This is an interesting lesson, because I, myself, am still figuring it out…
Hey Everyone!
New series on comping. In the first few of these lessons, I'm just going to be talking about rhythm while comping and techniques to get a good feel. Obviously, metronome work, recording yourself and listening back, playing…
Hey everyone,
Another lesson on comping. This time I'm looking at octave displacement (a lot less crazy than it sounds in this context) and rolls -- two things vibes players could do more, I think!
Hola a todos.
Comparto el audio de la transcripción que estuve realizando sobre un solo de Chet Baker (las primeras dos vueltas) y un solo de Tony que está en la ultima vuelta.
La tonalidad es Sol menor, pero cada coro tiene 6 compáses…
Let's face it a lot of the time there's another comping instrument with us on stage.
So, how can we comp without interfere the soloist or the other harmonic instrument?
with textural comping!

Selling my Musser M55 Pro that I purchased new in 1974. It has been carefully looked after. The bars are tuned A=440, and have a gorgeous tone. The variable speed motor is silent and works perfectly.
It does show some wear and tear…
