There is an M55G on Facebook Marketplace that's been there for a few weeks. I know NOTHING about this person or if it's a scam. However, if I lived closer I'd sure give it a look. If you do a FB marketplace search on "Musser Vibraphone…

Two things to know about Justin Vibes. He's a top notch vibe player. He's an incredible musician. And he has his own agenda and I think it's super cool.

Here is how you do this. 4 bars at a time. That for the most part 2 chords at a time. At the end of the tune it's one bar per chord instead of 2 in the beginning. So what you do is print this out. Do the first 4 bars in every key. Once…

If you have the screw/compression casters and your wheels are wobbly on your M55/M48 (it may work on others), it may be that the rubber inside that is worn out or soft. I got replacement 7/8" compression rubber and the spacers on Ebay and…

So, one of my early mentors was a pianist in whose band I played several times a week. Often we would be rehearsing one of his new tunes and he would comment on my solos. More than once he said some version of "Yeah, I hear that you're…

I have been playing the changes of Just In Time, lately. And I always think in terms of solo playing and holding four mallets. When you're playing lots of notes, you don't need chords. At this tempo, I'm mostly playing 8 notes in a bar. I…

I hope you're working on Just In Time. No matter what level you are at, it's worth it to work along with us. Even just learning the melody and the chords is something. If you're knew at this, read through one of the etudes or solos.…

Here is one chorus of Just In Time, unaccompanied. It's best if you transcribe it, then use my pdf to check it. Regardless of how you learn the solo, you should memorize it. Then play it for a few days and then start moving it around the…

Did this for a student. I have gotten really good at going from start to finish with these solos in about 10 minutes or less. That is recording them and turning them into sheet music! It's a good skill! You should be able to play this and…
