Hello all!

I’m taking a little break from the “how to play vibes like” lessons and am doing a couple beginner-oriented ones on ending tunes, although I think everyone can probably get something from them. This lesson is really for anyone who has ever been on a gig or at a jam session where at the end you all just kind of fizzled out in an unsatisfying, anticlimactic way, and wants a better alternative for the future. It’s also for anyone who just wants more creative options to end tunes.

Here's a short clip of me performing the 16th etude for pedaling from David Friedman's book.

This video shows the progress I have made working on the 16th etude by Friedman

Here is David Friedman's Etude 2 from "Friedman-Vibraphone Technique: Dampening and Pedaling".

Hi Everyone,
Hope you and your loved ones are all healthy and safe! I know what a tough time this is for musicians and so fervently wish we could get back to seeing and hearing you in live settings.
Meanwhile, the October show is slated for October 4 and 7.
It opens with my favorite election tune, "Elect 'Oral' Blues" by the Gerry Tachoir Group. The Blues with a capital "B" has got it just about right.
Here's the playlist of musicians alphabetically:
Bobby
Bryan
Christos
Chuck
David B
David F
Gary
Jay
Jerry
John
Lolly
Mike
