I just picked up an old Deagan model 30; the budget vibes that they made in the late-1930s/early-'40s. It has 2-1/2 octaves, cardboard resonator tubes and a single-speed motor. It needs a bit of work, but I'm not too intimidated by it.…
So this etude is one of the ones that sounds a little funny on vibes because it's an octave higher than written... a bit like a toy piano. But, again, if you are a student and looking to build chops around playing a melody while…
Every chord has a scale that in each tune fits in the context of that tune. That's because chords can have more than on scale that goes with them. I.E. Cmaj has Ionian and Lydian. This video talks about ways to practice these scales and…
Hey guys, here's a session I did with Elijah cole
This is guitar and vibes. It's cool because with no bass or drums, we have to do more and be more creative with our accompaniment!
The Southampton Sessions Vol. 1 - Tony Miceli and Elijah…
Okay, so.
Thoughts on the Marimba One Vibraphone. I've seen some pics and some discussion out there, but there doesn't seem to be any good videos demonstrating the sound.
I'm considering the One Vibe and the Omega by…
I made this with a bass and percussion. I think it's 'groovy'. It's focusing on one chord, and that's C7. Check it out and Try and play it. I have the groove at 2 tempos a slow one and a faster one. And then.... a slow one in F in case…
Let me start this off by telling you an interesting story about chess players. You guys might know the story already. There are chess players who can play anywhere from 2 to 100 games at the same time blindfolded and remember each board…
You know what, to be very frank and mildly funny, the big boys and girls can play good 2 5 1 voicings.Well rounded players can do all this stuff. You can tell how well rounded a player is by listening to them play a standard and comp. For…
Real simple, play this etude. Make it sound good. Look at the music, I put in some of the changes. you should be able to figure out the rest. After you figure out the cords, look at each bar and add all the upper partial so you know it's…
Ok, maybe not EVERY tune. But a lot of them!
I've been a little AFK for the past few weeks since I'm in the middle of moving and have been busy, but I thought I'd share a little project of mine that is nearing (ever so slowly) completion,…
This is an etude for Donna Lee that is all 8th notes. Of course we don't necessarily want to play a solo like this, but it's a good study in weaving around the changes.
There's an incredible guitarist in Philly. His name is Elijah Cole. He's a monster. We did a duo session. And I'm about to put it up on band camp, but I thought I'd post a track here for Subscribers. I'm such a nice guy huh? You know I…
This another short practice video working on "Tangerine." There is a brief warm up then a take of the arrangement I have been working on. If anyone is interested, I can write it out and post a pdf. The next step is putting it all together…
I talked in another post about the release of Sunset Glow featuring myself and David Friedman.
I thought I would embed the CD here for anyone who wants to check it out.
Sunset Glow by TJazzVibes
Greetings all,I finished recording 5 solo vibraphone pieces in a studio in Florida a couple of weeks ago. Since then we had a mix session and the engineer sent me what he believed to be the final mixes.Before I go on let me say straight…
I've made other lessons here with the same theme. Make it sound like the song. It's our job in a way. Sure the heavy weights do this or that. But a true heavy weight can make it sound like the song. Once you have mastered that then you can…
