Oh man... Arturo just sent me this... I realised how I think people too often play this tune a bit too fast for my taste... It's so beautiful as a balad. And indeed Arturo and his compañero (Jose Carra) made it soooo beautiful. Thanks Arturo!

Greetings everyone. Can folks on the forum recommend any tasty published jazz music arranged for vibes (i.e. either solo, duet, or small group)? I'm working hard at learning to voice my own 4-mallet chords, but in the meantime I really enjoy playing good arrangements.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions! Maybe there is already some good lists of published vibe music on this forum?

There are lots of great solo performances by pianists and guitarists. This video takes a look at a few techniques that these instruments employ and tries to adapt them to the vibes. Hey, why reinvent the wheel?

Beiner Bags, Rock and Roller and M55

Babu asked for this. I can go anywhere. Up and down stairs, through tight spaces. I can park 6 blocks away. It's a great set up.

QDV = Quick and Dirty Video
SOC = Stream of Conciousness

That's exactly what this vid is. I don't have my equipment at my house at the time of this video. So I just threw up an overhead cam and mic.

Is this helpful to anyone? I got more of them. I was just picking tunes and playing and talk about solo playing.

Let me know what you think.

Greetings everyone,
There are a few notes on my Musser M55 that decay relatively faster than the rest of the bars. Is this something that can be altered through tuning?

Thanks!
