Well, the site is NOT organized that great. It's very hard to organize almost 5 or 6 thousand posts. That being said I also think that a lot of people do not know how to use some of the built in organization:

Have you tried to click on the 'terms' on each lesson. If you see the descriptive term 'chords' (we call that taxonomy) and you click on it, it will pull up everything with that taxonomy term on the post. That's one way to find everything about let's say grips.

I play a lot of Bach on my own, but I hardly ever perform it. I decided to put some out there to force myself to really work something up. I am constantly amazed by this music and how every voice is so interesting. Hopefully I did it justice.

I POST FRRIEDMAN 3 IN A DIFFERENT POST AS TJACO TOLD ME.

YO TJACO...

I'm toying around with the idea of doing a TOTM Skype workshop this Saturday. Maybe around noon U.S. EDT?

This would be an experiment. I could handle 3 or 4 people on skype. We could spend an hour working on the tune. Anyone interested?

Just putting feelers out there. Nothing is definite yet. You'd need skype. I'll do video and audio, you don't have to do video on your end.

Here's a chord etude on fried bananas.

you're job is to add the chords and the alterations. If you have questions post them here.

I'll include a demo, a midi file, and the finale file. You can use these however.

I'm a junior in high school and I want to focus on playing jazz vibes in college. But iv heard there are a good amount of vibes players who studied something else in college... percussion, or piano, etc along with vibes. If I could do everything I wanted I'd just play vibes, but I also play drum set for five years on and of and I play a little piano and general percussion. It'd be great to hear some of advice from people, especially if you've been in a similar situation.

This is not a vibes thing but I ran into this looking for Anthony Jackson bass stuff.
But what it is, is a smok'n groove and hot players.
Love this feel :)
Love the bass lines.
Love the players.
Makes my day !

I had to share it.

Unfortunately its cut short.

Just got these. I'm amazed so far at how they cut the sound without cutting frequencies. All vibe players should have ear plugs. This is a pretty piercing instrument.

I got mine from here:

Here is a vibe player(Thomas Dobler)who uses several piano licks on vibes.
There are some interesting things happening here I think.

I'm sure the pros will have more insightful comments.

Really nice posts by Joe Veltri on the Dave Friedman Etudes!
