From FB, I came across a piece of music with a vibist I didn't know: Karl Berger. This piece was... well a bit too much for me... Still curious, I went to Youtube and found this totally different piece with same vibist... Beautiful all the…
Some weeks ago Tony posted the first movement from Bach's violin sonata 1. It reminded me (again!) of how wonderful those pieces sound on vibes as well as violin. The clip I'm posting here was done quite a number of years ago. Because it…
Hey everyone, please welcome Casey Cangelosi. We're hoping Casey is going to be our marimba specialist on the site! Here's his first test video. It's not perfect but I thought I'd post it anyway!
Hey out there..
have any of you ever heard of anyone making custom soft cases for an M55. If so, where, how, who, was it a good ideal. Gotta be cheaper then the Musser hard and heavy cases(M149). Since there is now basically no option…
Once again it's the end of the semester and I'm going nuts. However I'm thinking to the summer. You know guys, I would really like to work on connecting us all in some way. But it requires effort on all of our parts. For instance, what…
Updates for the PAL:
less vibrato on the keys (no more pitch bend)
tighter percussion track
include 442 (Sorry if I mixed up the titles on this....LMK if you find one that is backwards)
different keys
different speeds
This is a video I did a few months ago of me playing Autumn leaves.
I really struggle with these solo performances (especially improvising over changes!)
What's my weakness? And the next step to improving? Any other points to make?
Here is a lesson geared to the beginning/intermediate player on navigating turnarounds. The audio file goes along with the PDF, so I recommend looking at it while you listen or beforehand. I plan to add some more to this in a future lesson…
Dear everybody,
First of all, thank you all for contributing to this wonderful site! I´m new here, looking forward for exchange experiences and inspiration in the years to come.
My question for you today is the following:
I´m looking for a…
hi,
i want to share one song of the second rehearsel of my new band with you. to be honest we just added a nice good looking female voice to my regular duo with guitar. we need some more practice together but at least you get an impression…
Jenco vibes restoration circa 1991. Before and after. Unfortunately I did not take photos of the process itself, which, in hindsight, would have been worthwhile. It was quite a pile of rubble to begin with. I was fortunate to have all of…
Just a heads up. If you're planning on coming to the Delaware workshop, it's starting to fill up. There was a lot of advertising outside of Vibesworkshop so between that and VW members it's inching it's way up there. If you're a VW member…
hey,
here´s from today´s rehearsel body and soul in a arrangement i like very much by our guitar player. sorry for the guitar being a bit too loud in the mix but i had no chance to change that.
hope you like it. tell me what you think…
A guy calls the local musicians' union to get a quote on a six piece band for a wedding.
The rep says: "Off the top of my head, I'd say about two thousand dollars."
The guy says: "ARE YOU KIDDING? —— FOR MUSIC?!?"
The rep responds…
"Let…
Well, the site is NOT organized that great. It's very hard to organize almost 5 or 6 thousand posts. That being said I also think that a lot of people do not know how to use some of the built in organization:
Have you tried to click on the…
I love this. Check out how the guitar player is comping and imagine comping like that behind someones solo. I'm working with a great latin percussionist so I'm learning a ton about the music (again). I've been checking out Changui music…
My mentor said when you practice one thing you're practicing everything. That's so true. When we look at things we're studying we can probably see many things we're getting out that one thing.
In this exercise here's a way to study Lines,…
