I have had some requests since the last lesson to show how to apply the ideas from lesson 1 to different chord sequences. This part of the lesson deals exclusively with taking a single rhythm (the first from lesson 1) and applying it over…
So I just finished the first chorus of Bill Evans's solo on Nardis from his Blue in Green Live album. It took me about 3 hours to get it right. I think that is a pretty long time for one chorus, although the solo is pretty challenging and…
Hi Tony,
I've been thinking about the problem of the amount of labor it takes to run this site, and it occurred to me that we could probably help you out with some of the non-vibes-playing aspects of maintaining things. I don't know where…
Hi Tony,hi all!
Inspired by Tony's blog on practising here in VW, I got a copy of "Effortless Mastery" by Kenny Werner. Werner describes how to achive a special kind of consciousness he calls "to be in space" each time he plays his…
Anyone know about the scene in New York? I'm planning on going there either this summer or fall. I'm not going to be in a university. I was just wondering about the logistics of it. You know, I'm either going to have to get a ground…
Dimitri (JIM THE VIBES) is one hard working cat. He blows me away with his work ethic. And he plays great and is getting better and better. I know he works hard with everything on the site and he says it helps him, so he's a testiment for…
Hello fellow vibists,
Here’s a version of Green Dolphin Street with Dave Liebman, Matt Wilson and David Clark and me. The head in and out is pretty loose, but in the whole scheme of things and vibe of the performance, it seems to work OK…
Every once in a while I go and count the members on the site. We are getting near 1000 vibe players. OH MAN. Could you imagine if we could all get together. 1000 of us in the same room. That's amazing to me. Isn't it??
So I wanted to make…
The final lesson. I talk about wrapping things up. Have you done this before? Study something and then decide that you're done and then wrap it all up in your mind and put it in a compartment. This is the last lesson of the invitation…
For the "veterans" of thevibe.net, do you remember Polish born vibist Les Blachut? I have a good memory of a pleasant and funny guy, his six mallets theory (and practice!) and of that fun picture of him holding 8 mallets! Ha! :o)
He…
Here's the next tune for the Tune of the week series.
I saw Barry's post and thought it would be nice to do Mood Indigo this week.
Try to do a version like Barry did, so playing block chords. Voice the melody with four voices. If I have…
I recorded a version of Over The Rainbow tonight. So here it is. This is the second time I played this tune. Normally I feel that it's better to learn a tune from cd and work it out a while to really get it down, but I wanted to post…
Oh jeez!!
Sorry Ed, I can't wait for you to feel like posting this new vid: it's truly amazing!
That version of the tune is incredible! Awesome! I love it... Words are missing. It's so far from the original, and yet so close! Wow!
Enjoy…
