I always like that progression and I'm not a theory guy, but I have my version on why it works and what it's about. I was actually going to make podcast about it, but I thought instead I'd open it up for discussion first.
What do you think…
Hi Guys,
Decided to do a quick recording of this really nice tune I found last week, I know its a little bit sketchy - but I guess leaves more room for comment. Thoughts, comments, feedback would be greatly appreciated. Apologies for this…
Here's a vid from an online workshop that we did recently. It's with Steve Giordano and John Swana. We talk about learning tunes, playing without a bass and practicing.
I didn't put this up already did I?
Twitter is one of those web apps where it's kind of hard to find some meaning and usefulness. I always feel a little vain when I Tweet. But I recently found a good use for it especially if you don't mind sifting through some stuff.

Back when I played my company's holiday party, the clamp that holds the legs on my 1959 Deagan 580 snapped. I tried fabricating one, but it didn't work out. I emailed Gilberto Serna at Century Mallet. He had them in stock, for only $5.…
So the M-48 has a big flaw. Those rails you take off bend down. then the notes don't dampen evenly or even well.
So Nico is making me a new keybed for the M-48. Then I'll have a great instrument. The keybed will fit on top of my M-48 legs…
Here's a long podcast on the tune Solar and ways to develop the harmony and to create lines over the altered dominant chords.
You know to do lessons like this and then try to play decently is really tough. So make sure you know the tune…
Tarik was talking about playing 'un' diatonic lines and how it's difficult to hear and do.
I'm going to make audio or video to go along with this but I thought I'd post this first.
Here's an etude, listen to it. It's based on Solar. Fill…
During the Holland workshop we all agreed to work on a tune and present it. Here's My tune.
I wanted to play a ballad very very simply. I wanted it to not have a lot of technical stuff in it. In fact I was hoping that some of you guys…
A Train Lesson 2.
I made a mistake on the bridge. I left out one or 2 chords depending on how you look at it. I decided to leave the lesson as is and let you guys figure out what's missing. The lesson still works but I the chord I left…

Hey guys,
I'm a real believer of setting goals. They at least tell you if you're on track or off track. I think it's ok to be either of them, but the thing that's important is that you know whether you're on track or off track.
So we had…
*I just noticed that you could submit performances for members, so I wanted to put this out there again.*
This is a video I recently made of my band, Nós Novo, playing one of my favorite Bjork tunes. Though the band was founded with a view…
A rare Milt Interview.

It seems to be a pretty quiet morning here at the Vibes Workshop so I figured I'd post another video. This is from the same concert as the Deep Hearts video I uploaded a few days ago.
