I made this for a student and thought I'd share it. We did it on the fly.
Practice page one in all the keys. Also page two.
Use the closed and open positions and then go through all the open and closed voicings. Remember the rules are the…
Behn came over today to pick up some mallets we started talking about melodies and playing lines. So I asked Behn to play a tune with only melodies and lines, no chords and then talk about it. Here's what came out.
Here's a simple solo I did for a student.
All the things you are.
He's doing the following:
Learn the solo (don't write it down)
play it along with the recording every day
play each chord and then play the part of the solo that goes…
Don't write it down until you can play it.
Can you play it in another key?
I tried to make the easy one easy. The other has two choruses, one easier than the other.
I also tried to focus on some things like a scale or a target…
Hello all,
Just a quick lesson on ending ballads (or any tune, really). I demonstrate a few different options for the final chords on a ballad so you don't always have to end on 1 or the b2. Let me know if there are any questions!
Allstar cats here!
There are some things to talk about here. First My mallets which are hard(er) mallets sound great here. It cuts through and you here the articulation. I'm not saying buy my mallets, but I am saying by mallets like…
Hi Tony,
This isn't quite directly vibes, but is there any chance we can get a lesson on the equipment/software you use to produce videos? You've really upgraded your capabilities since the "quick and dirty" days, so I'm looking for how…
I did this a while ago. I probably hated it when I listened back. But time has a way of making us more objective about our past.
But I think this is cool. I like how I keep time even though it's slow and spacey.
Rubato and…
Gary sent this to me and I'm posting on his behalf - Tony Miceli
My first thought when I got the news that Bobby Hutcherson had passed away this week was to recall one of the rare occasions when we crossed paths, and actually it was the…
Hey everyone,
Very excited about finding this one. Been using it a lot lately. Has anyone ever heard of it? I assume I haven't invented it, but I haven't ever heard of it, either, so I'd be curious to hear if anyone's heard this before.…
Using Ewe drums, the Yambu clave is played on the bell and low drum. On high drums, Son and Rumba clavé weave around the Yambu. An original clavé phrase (rotating the son to a different position) joins the series. The 4/4 sequence…
Here's the link to the watch party. We discuss a bit at the end of the video.
Let's have a watch party on Feb. 13, 12pm East Coast Time.
We can do it on the VibesWorkshop Facebook page.
I'd like to watch the Milt Jackson interview…
Thanks to Barry K!
I love hearing Milt talk about playing with 4 mallets! And saying because of his speed he can do the same things as four mallet players!
Interesting!
My quartet has its first performance since I moved to Colorado tomorrow night. The set runs from 7-8:15 pm (Mountain time).
It will be livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook at the links below. I have also posted the event's description.…

In yesterday's presentation for the Vibes Congress, David proclaimed that he was NOT Satchitananda Guru. OK. I get it, but... I've spent time in both worlds and, given the things he was talking about, this made me have a moment of "…
