Here's some additional ideas on line exercises.
This little tune is titled Tribute. It is arranged here for 4 mallet solo vibes. Beginning students should find this piece an excellent example of how to accompany a melody on the vibes. It’s not technically difficult, but it is a good sounding piece, suitable for performance. The audio example includes some improvisation too. It’s important to note that you don’t have to obtain super technique to get a nice full sound.
Hi all,
Here's a new etude for the site. If anybody found the other ones too hard, try this one. It's fun, and it's a little easier technically. Pdf is attached. Enjoy!

A few final thoughts on using diminished sounds in lines. There's a little bit of distortion in parts of it, but not the whole time! My apologies!

Hello,
I think as far as the comping that it's important to transcribe not only the voicings but the rythm as well. That is the reason I post this lesson in order to get inspired by the rythmic approach from great piano players like Wynton Kelly. I also recorded mine rythmic comping etude with an extra track of me playing solo over this comping. I hope you find this interesting.Pdf and tracks attached.
Thanks
