If you can deal with my singing, (it sucks) then check this lesson out on intervals. If you are having trouble hearing intervals then this way of practicing them might help you.

I always say if you're going to play this instrument, it's your obligation to work on your ears.

Good ears help you stay focused because you understand what's being 'said'.

My singing sucks, but this is how I practice intervals.

Check out Terry's nice relaxed feel. I dig watching his hands.

Hands!

Thanks for the link update Barry. I posted this quite a while ago so I am not sure if this is the same video or not but its more than good enough!

I enjoy playing "Watch What Happens" by Michel Legrand, on piano and wanted to do an arrangement on vibes. BIAB Real Tracks in background.

Enjoy.

I love the language Bobby uses here. So strong and soulful!

Hi all!

I'm sitting at home grounded with a bad cold so I got more time than usual to post here.

Someone at TheVibe.net reported that he recently acquied a 4-octave DeMorrow vibraphone - is there anyone familiar with this brand? Any opinions? Nico?

Well, I am an old gear head

cheers Stefan

Here's a chord... hmmm.... exercise? Or maybe concept? It's a way I practice tunes sometimes.

It's also a concept that if you get down you can use in your solo playing and comping especially without a bass.

Can you cats fill me in? I just downloaded 'Guys and Dolls Love the Vibes'.

As I've mentioned many times one of my perks for running this site is getting to meet and talk with my idols. Terry is one of them, and we've had a couple long phone calls talking about all sorts of things.

In addition he sent some great video.
[BTW Terry said I could post some of it, but I can't get to the video. Can anyone help me? It plays but there's nothing visible on the disk.]
