Vibraphone

Now that I've had the chance to sift through a lot of the commentary on the site, I think it's time to fill in some details. I enjoyed reading the comments posted following the review of my ALONE AT LAST record, both the praise and the criticisms. Believe me, I'm my worst critic, so it doesn't bother me at all if someone doesn't like something I've done. In fact, I doubt there is any one person who would like ALL the records I've made. Even I don't like them all! (But don't even think of asking me which ones I don't like!)

Great Gary Video here!

So who is Marie-Noelle ?

When someone posts a 'Who Is' they're asking about someone on the site. Inviting them to tell their story. When you get a 'Who Is', it's optional but would be nice to share a little about yourself with us.

There is a lot of video on YouTube with Mr. Burton and Pat Metheny. Check it out:

I love "Question and Answer". Such a great blowing vehicle and catchy tune put together.

I was watching this video and thinking about ALL the different types of sets Gary has played on. I'm sure he wouldn't carry his everywhere.

I was wondering what he had to go up against sometimes?

I know our school lent him a Musser that wasn't in great shape. the legs were bent in and bending. It would have worked fine but might have looked a bit odd on stage!

Hey guys, thought i would offer another tune for vibesworkshop! hope you enjoy!

Just a quick video talking about a conceptual sort of thing. Working on going from here to there!

Here's a PDF with the G half whole scale. It's a scale that outlines a G7 b9 chord. I ask the question what if the chord was a G7 b9 #5, what would the scale be. Write it out and send it to me!

Here's all the Friedman Dampening and Pedaling vids and audio lessons on the site. This a book all of us should work through and master.

If you play any of the etudes not on the list. Please record yourself and post your performance!
