This is not a vibes thing but I ran into this looking for Anthony Jackson bass stuff.
But what it is, is a smok'n groove and hot players.
Love this feel :)
Love the bass lines.
Love the players.
Makes my day !
I had to share it.
Unfortunately its cut short.

I've always admired of how well piano players can play changes with walking bass lines. It's not so easy to accomplish on vibes. The way I attempt this requires some mallet dampening to keep everything sounding full and clean.
To get started you might try writing out a walking line to practice with, but ultimately you want to be able to create your voicings and "walking bass" spontaneously.
Well sort of free. I'll give away 2 sets to two people (1 set each) who want to do the following.
I'll be giving away the soft version of the mallets. Great for quiet(er) gigs and practicing.
Do a GOOD report on a living vibe player.
Put up his discography, and get 5 of his latest cds in our amazon section. Gather his important links, youtube vids, tell us something about him. (Don't plagiarize).
This is a little lesson I just came up with on approaching chord melodies. I starting with a simple melody and devloped three variations. The lesson is a PDF and I've included a little MP3 of me demonstrating the examples so you can get an idea of what they might sound like. My intention was to give some ideas about how to put some of the voicings demonstrated in other lesson here on this site into practice, in addition to some other options. I hope some of you find it helpful.

I just looked and we're at around 4500 posts. That's if i understand the software correctly. Actually I think it's over 5,000 posts. Man we have come a long way. Thanks to all of us and our love of the instrument and our dedication. I thank you guys for your support of the site.
We must be at about 600 lessons now, I think? Well definitely over 500.

can be used once, so it's a gift for the first person who wants to use it in the store.
maybe leave a comment if you take it to use it so others don't waste their time going through all the motions.
i got a few more if this proves to be popular.
Look up top and click shop.

Here's a question: What scales would you put to these chords?
