Vibraphone

Hello Vibesworkshop,

This is a solo version of Just Friends. I tried to make the chords or just the bass ring and play over it..

After listening to it again I figured out I've mistaken on the A and A' part... it's supposed to be A A' A A' etc.. but it seems I was a bit lost sometimes and did A twice... well :)

Please give your feedback ! I'd appreciate.

Nico Farrugia

ps : this is my "new" practice space! :)

The Vibesworkshop.com on Roku application allows subscribers to create individualized channels of videos for display (see Check This Out for more info on the app). At release, I've seeded the app with channels for Ed Saindon, Joe Locke, Tony Miceli and myself.

The Vibesworkshop on Roku application is now available for installation on Roku Players. See the video for info on what's available and how it works.

Hello everyone, Just wanted to let you know about the upcoming Percussion Festival at Berklee College of Music in Boston. The festival will start on Monday, June 21st and end on Friday, June 25th. There are several tracks that we will have for students to choose from. The tracks are vibraphone, marimba, drum set and hand percussion.

Vibe faculty will include Dave Samuels, Gustavo Agatiello and myself.

About the schedule:

Monday is registration along with several concerts and masterclasses after registration.

Classes and ensembles begin on Tuesday.

I think we should all feel really proud of ourselves. Look at the community we've created and look at all that's happening. I think we're all really doing something in a big way for the vibraphone. And this is cool. Yeah, I do the video and put up and lessons and set the page up, my partner handles all the programming aspects. But all that is useless without all of you guys. And we're coming up on 3 years and a lot of stuff is happening! This is great!

Just thought I'd mention that.

Following after Behn's footsteps. He just finished a lesson on Sus chords and used Maiden Voyage to play over.

So I thought I'd follow up with a couple other exercises to use on the tune Maiden Voyage.

This is to anyone who might be interested:
After considerable experimentation I've concluded that one way of playing vibes while seated is to use a hydraulic barstool and raise it to a point where the keyboard is slightly below the pelvic area. The swivel pedal, with a little practice, can be manipulated with the heel of either foot, after slanting the pedal slightly upward as opposed to its normal down position, with a wooden block or bed riser right next to the pedal and the toe rests on the block or riser with the heel slanted toward the center of the swivel pedal.
