I mention 5ths in the beginning of the video. I play 5ths but then quickly dive in to 4ths as I'm playing. So think 5ths and 4ths as I talk. Of course an inverted 5th is a 4th and vice versa.
I saw that Tony and Behn selected Summertime and Wave for TOTM. Both great songs. Here's a clip that I made in my studio with good friend and bassist Mark Carlsen. I love anything written by Carlos Jobim. There are so many great…
Hello again,
i just finished another Video of M-Dur.
This is one of our "evergreens". We arranged it in the summer of 2010 i think and we play it in every concert i guess. Always the last tune before the encores. ;)
I love to play it! It's…
I need to secure a vibraphone for an upcoming tour slated for February 13th thru the 25th. Please contact me at tmacaoidh@gmail.com for more information reguarding the tour.
I think the new TOTM is a great selection. Alone Together is a very hip tune to play on. Thought I would post this from a past concert to perhaps generate some ideas and approaches to work on. This clip includes a few things like playing…
Hey Everyone,
December's Good Vibes (the 1st and the 4th) will be on the air before we know it. Here's a preview:
Introducing three vibes players, Warren Chiasson, Onaje Murray and Tyree Glenn. Glenn played both trombone and vibes,…
Here are some alternate changes I use for the the 9th thru 11th bar of Alone Together. The typical change is Bmin7 E7 Gmin7 C7 F f7 emin7b5 A79 Dmaj7. My substitution is Bmin7 Bb7#11 Amin7 Ab7#5 Gmin7b5 Gb7#9 Emin7b5 A7 Dmaj7.
Check out…

Hey All
So, I have a friend who makes ribbon mics for acoustic bass. His name is Brandon (an excellent bassist here in the bay area) His mic is called the Troll Ribbon mic. I have had one on trial before and really loved the sound for bass…
Here is a belated Halloween tune. I recently discovered the tune JuJu by Wayne Shorter. My arrangement is inspired the version by Philly pianist Tom Lawton.https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/retrospective-debut/id400295067http://www.…
I'm calling this the twin to the first dampening etude. It picks up where the other one left off, except this one is a 4 mallet etude. Although it's 4 mallets, you'll find that I kept many of the moving lines from the first one.
So the…

There comes November… and its new TOTM: Alone Together! We started with great lessons and etudes. So join us!
Today we learned the passing of Angelo J. Vaglio. He must have been 95 or 96 years old but he kept playing nearly till this…
Most of us know who Angelo is. He was probably one of the oldest working vibes players in the world. There are a whole bunch of videos up here I think of him playing, it's not there on YouTube.
He was a really nice guy, totally into the…
HI,
I am writing a dissertation for my degree about the vibes.
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any information of the history of the development of the vibraphone, and also if possible the physics and synthesis behind the sound…
I've been trying to improvise on cimbalom lately; it's almost like going back to the start. The patterns aren't as familiar as vibes so it takes longer to process what notes are in the chord/scale, and thus my solos always sound terrible.…
I am new here, and am looking for Musser vibes. I looked at the instruments for sale on this site, and see that almost all posts are over a year old! What gives? Is this site dieing?
