In this post I try to practise my tempo using a lot of spase between the lines. I also played a second line and comping. It's ineresting how many things you can practise from one exercise!

Thanks David/really helpfull stuff!

I am still working on How deep-still a lot to learn...One of the millions things I took from the site is to work music from people all around the world. So this is my friend Giorgos who studies at Maastrichtt(Netherlands) and he recorded a walk for me.

I just thought good idea to post this here

Enjoy!

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.

Hello,
does anybody know where can I find vibraphone sheets for Nature Boy and other songs?

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.

Well, this is my first post. After the vibes workshop in Wuppertal i decided to be more active on this page. So here is my record of Davids Tune Texas Hoedown.
Hope you like this version. I think i'm still to fast but I'm working on it... ;)
I really like to get some feedback?! Thank you! :)

greets from Germany, Hauke
