Here's the link to your next assignment:

POST YOU AUDIO HERE. NOT ON THE OTHER PAGE.

I've also attached the pdf here as well. You can print that out to help you.

And also I've pulled in all the open and closed lessons on the site. So you have plenty of info.

(If a few of you guys want to go over this with me, I'll come out to the school one night)

(And if a few of you guys want a little general workshop and we can do it in the evening, I'll come out one night and we can hang)

Looking for some help on Angel Eyes, and ballads in general. I feel like there is just so much rhythmic possibility in ballads, help me figure out what I am missing!

Thanks!!

You guys know about the 15 min. rule. I keep a timer with me, in fact I keep it on my desk. When my schedule is absolutely nuts, I figure out 15 min. here and there or I can practice. Since it's only 15 min. is not that big of a deal. A block out a couple times turn on the timer on and focus and practice for the 15 min. I find this could really help on those crazy days where you seem to have no time to practice all. I just thought I would pass along to you guys.

Flamenco Sketches Etude - Pt. 2 - Etude Concept by Tony Miceli

Hey VWS!

Here's pt. 1 of a three part lesson on turnarounds. There are so many, so I tried to stick to the critical, and most practical ones. Enjoy!

Keeping lines sounding really clean and clear is tough with vibes. It's easy to let notes ring together and just as easy to let notes ring together that shouldn't be. We have 3 tools to control ringing - the pedal, mallet/hand dampening, and using dead strokes.

I use dead strokes all the time to keep my lines sounding as clean as possible. This video clip demonstrates one example of where using dead strokes can make your playing sound just a bit better. The better you become at listening for notes ringing that should'nt be the better your playing will sound.
