In my Blog I announced that I was gonna check out the tune You and the Night and the Music.
Here is my first recording of the tune. I thought I'd post this now and when I work on it some more post another version.
Some things I noticed…
Yo guys,
I thought I'd post here about the pivot chords modulation video.
First TJ I would love if you made up some lessons around that video. That video is more of an advanced topic. Usually when a guy knows a bunch of tunes. These…
I started working on a transcription of Lionel Hampton's performance of "Flying Home" from the YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_rTICMVXQQ
This is the first part. I need to work on getting a less stiff and no mistakes (i.e…
Marie-Noëlle doesn't play the vibes but she loves them as much as I think the rest of us do! She's joined our ranks inside the school and I'm sure will have a lot to say. She's pretty active over at thevibe.net a popular vibe site.
All…
Here's something I'm posting that I think helps students to understand how different keys relate to each other (modes, major keys, relative minor etc). It also helps teachers when teaching it.
I'd like to see more participation by members too. It's so fun to bring a society of vibraphonists together. I live in Texas and I don't travel much anymore so I don't see a lot of vibe players (though there are some very good ones here)…

This is the best of the Rainbow attempts I've made in the last few days. I tried to incorporate as much as I could from the ideas you gave me in the lesson. I'm still a little confused though about the substitution going on in…
This is the Milt solo from the alternate take of Don't Get Around Much Anymore. Check my transcription below, it's handwritten, but I think you guys will manage. If you really want a computer written transcription, post that comment here,…
This is a pretty hard etude. At the time of writing this, I just stumbled on it. I had forgotten all about it. So I'll need to check it out again. I remember it though. It was for a students who was studying the blues.
I can easily post…
(This is a piece I wrote and have named it after the great composer Vince Guaraldi. This is the etude where you can work on different aspects of solo playing. Also on the site is the lead sheet to the tune. Check out the link to the lesson…
Made you look!
I decided to go back and transcribe Coltrane's Giant Steps solo again. I did it a LONG time ago! It's like when you re-read a novel that you read 25 years ago, it's kind of like new, but there's something familar as you go…
I just saw barryk's post on the site. He put up a little clip of him playing along with an audio track from a youtube vid. I was really happy to see that.
You know I can post lots of stuff and will, but when you guys get more involved in…
