Watch the vibe hang Sunday 3pm-5pm (East Coast time). All the attendees will play plus Joe, Tony, Dana, Mike and Probably Randy and I think Behn might even stop by!

---------------------------------

We are having a great time at the workshop!! Watch us today at 3pm Eastern U.S. time.

So I've played for a few years and never had a problem breaking strings (although I've only been doing professional gigs for about 8 months). I got a set of Albrights recently and have broken the string on the vibes 3 times in the past month. I had a gig last night where we played 4 sets and I was using a set of med soft albrights. they are pretty soft so I have to hammer the notes out a bit, but not ridiculously. During the second set I realized that the string between my F# and Ab was near failure.

Yo guys,

One of the requests I get for the vibe hangs is that I'll devote time and answer some questions that people might be having.

I'm thinking about setting up some times 'office' hours. I can go online live for an hour here or there and if you guys have any questions we can talk about them. for now, i'd probably do it like the vibe hangs and you guys would have to type the questions. But I think we could get 3 or 4 of us on skype and try it like that sometime.

John Brought this video up in another Warren video I just posted.

Check this out. This is a cool video. Warren is on the street, jamming. 2 mallets and he plays like he's on stage somewhere.

I think the playing is really good, and I'm floored by how he uses the 2 mallets. I dig this guy!

I think this is a good track! I dig players that have and lived through the old school and are also trying the new stuff. the combination of it is really cool.

I also dig the showman stuff. He plays and looks at the audience and smiles, neither of things i do on stage. So this is pretty cool to me.

Another bablafon player. I love listening to this and hearing the kids in the background. Folk music is really cool. Ultimately it's what music is really about right?

Restricting your options is a great way to get freed up on the vibes.
