Vibraphone

Just a heads up. We are working hard behind the scenes. We are working on getting the videos to show on iphones, finally! The cool thing is we're working on a new layout that display on any device. From a small phone to a desktop computer.

That's really exciting because that means you watch lessons and study on your phone.

I'll keep you posted. We have a developers version of the site up and when it gets a little closer, I'll send you guys the link.

Hi All,
Running a little late this month, been very busy, in a good way.
Here's the info on April's show:

Vibist new to Good Vibes this month is Harold Masteller, owner of The Jazz Corner on Hilton Head Island. Masteller plays the flugelbone and, inherited from his dad Harold (who played jazz violin in the '30s) the vibes as well. On Tuesday nights Bob plays with the band; the club itself is open SEVEN nights a week -- with jazz. The restaurant is fabulous, everything the kitchen sends out is delicious.

Hey guys,
I'll be in Japan (Tokyo) from April 2nd to the 8th and I'm looking for a vibraphone.
Any information will be appreciated.
Feel free to contact me at:

Thank you

OK here's an etude for stride playing. A couple things to keep in mind. Put the pedal down on every and life it up on the eighth. when you play stride the quarter notes shouldn't be real quarter notes, they should have space in them. With this exercise you should be able for MOST of the etude to do exactly the same thing with the pedal on every beat and everything fits in.

Ok you've had some time to work on Satin Doll. Here's my version of a chord melody.

You want a chord solo etude as well? That means someone has to practice it and post it!!!

Hi VW-User,

My homework is always late!
I tried to play the melody with mallet dampening as an exercise.
