Ok, I was going to put the chords in, but I always get mad at myself when I do that. I'm making it easier for you guys and that's not how you get good!

So you put the chords in, put the extensions in and analyze the music and play it.

Can you talk about it? That means you have the harmony memorized.

Look for the hidden triads. I.E. -> a C triad over a Db and the chord is Eb13b9. Do you understand what just happened here? Can you explain it for others?

Do the work and pass it on.

Here's some more stuff I've been working on with Tony.

Tony has me working out of the bops duet book by Bugs Bower. This is etude #12. The rules here have been that I can't look at the bars and to practice sight reading (which I'm still slow at but making progress from this exercise). Here is my entry after going over this one every day for a few weeks. I will say not looking at the bars is just a good exercise in general for spacial awareness on the instrument.

In this video I'll cover the basic of comping technique.
It's a refined art that takes years to be developed. It's almost impossible to learn how to comp alone in your practice room: play with other people is the key for learning how to support a soloist properly.

Hey everyone,

Here's a quick lesson on the three types of glissandos I find myself using, and how to practice them. I also discuss how to practice flams on vibes to help with glissandos.

this is a cd I did with Jimmy Bruno a while ago.

It's up here for 7 days from the date of this post.

Like most people, I imagine, I have been working a lot on my solo vibraphone playing. I also finally got some decent recording equipment. This is my first attempt to test it out and hone my arrangements of these two great tunes. Feedback on both my playing and audio appreciated.

Here is my run through on Chi Chi. I could probably keep practicing this for the rest of my life, but thought I'd give a progress report and keep moving.
