www.vibesworkshop.com welcomes Joe Locke. Joe says hello and gives some thoughts on his playing.
No Vibes, but I have never heard anything like this before...
I just happened across this and I thought it was too cool! Needless to say, I want one :)
He's got a few other videos up too if you like it.
While I am not really a student on the board, I have in the past posted a couple of videos including the infamous Big Sneeze. There was more than the sneeze but that is another story.
One of my favorite groups of all time. nuff said.
I decided I would work on Some Day My Prince Will Come. Here is what I've got so far. I know there are some mistakes. But I told myself I'd put one up today no matter what.
Part 1 of 4 with some ideas for scales.

練習音階很重要
第一個，可以加強雙手的技巧，
第二，你要了解每一個音階中的每一個組成音，這樣當你看到一個和弦的時候，你就知道用什麼音階套用在上面。
Ok, so download this file below. Burn all the tracks to a CD or put them on your ipod. Then set to shuffle. Listen and play the note back. Use the pause button if you need to. This should be a daily thing for a bout 5 or 10 minutes most days of the week!
This will help you get to know your instrument and work on your ears.
Try it and let me know what you think of it.
I don't know if this performance has been previously posted, but I just found it on YouTube and really enjoyed it. Red and Gary play on just one vibe (sometimes together, which looks a bit cramped!) and do nice version of Back Home in Indiana.
It's interesting to see the 2 playing styles displayed so well.
Here's a 4 part lesson talking about scales and modes. Some introductory stuff with a little depth.
