This is for Barry! Here's a slow mo' of 4 in 1 with a really nice stick drop at the end. (Inside joke for long time, vibesworkshop members).

Maybe this will be of some help with the etude.

I left the sticks after the throw up there for all to examine. You see I can tell the future by how the sticks fall onto the vibes. And I see a lot of good vibe playing in the future for everyone based on that throw.

Practicing tunes in other keys is a great exercise. Recently Tony and I had a short discussion on the benefits of transposing. It reminded me of "Comrade Conrad", a beautiful Bill Evans tune that actually moves up a 5th to a new key every chorus! The transition to a new key is so smooth the listener may not even be aware that the tune is moving through all 12 keys.

Very simple but very powerful

Terry Gibbs sent me a bunch of out of print stuff that he's given me permission to post for subscribers on the site! So keep an eye out!

Jimmie White did an internship with vibesworkshop.com and part of that internship was to do some lessons for vibesworkshop.com. Here's one and it's a cool one!

Practicing connecting the dots between chords of a tune.

My mentor said when you practice one thing you're practicing everything. That's so true. When we look at things we're studying we can probably see many things we're getting out that one thing.

In this exercise here's a way to study Lines, Dampening, Pedaling and Chords.
