Here's another Ted Piltzecker video to go along with the one Todd just posted -- apparently from the same gig.

Those of you who met me at the Delaware boot camp know I have a horrible time playing vibes in front of an audience. Part of that is just lack of confidence. And this is caused by not knowing what the hell I'm doing. So Ive decided to tackle this problem and start working live with vibes.
I booked a steady gig in duo for Wednesday evenings twice a month.
It will be a vibes and guitar duo.
Your help in determining how to do this without making a fool of myself would be greatly appreciated. Suggestions for tunes that are not too difficult in duo would be appreciated.
Fortune's Fool is the story of the record industry from about 1990 to the present, mostly by following the career of Edgar Bronfman, who got bored being a scion of the Seagram Liquor fortune and decided to take the company into the entertainment business. He eventually becomes (and still is, I believe) head of Warner Music.
Anyone out there have BIAB with the real instruments?
Can you send me an mp3 of My Romance maybe about 6 choruses?
I just need it to sound good. Are the drums swinging? Maybe no piano, just drums and Bass?
If you can, leave a comment here so that everyone doesn't do it.
Thanks!
I broke down My Romance into sections. Try this approach, take little chunks of the tune and work with them. I have six sections below that cover each little part of the tune. See can understand the harmony of each one of these sections, and be able to move the harmony around in different keys. The idea is that you study one little section and that section makes sense to you, and then he studied the next, and then when you put it all together you you understand the whole tune.
Tony demonstrates different approaches to playing over rhythm changes.
We saw a lot of this at the workshop in Delaware.

This is likely to be old news for most on the site but hopefully helpful for those who haven't worked through these yet. I don't think I mentioned very clearly that you can replace the fifth of each voicing with the 6th for more color or variation.
