Watch Video for demonstration.

Just a quick demonstration on the conflicts created by A440 vs. A442 tuning when mixed together.

Hola a todos, comparto esta grabación de esta pieza original para Vibrafono y ensamble de percusión compuesta por Lucas Guinot (Argentina) e interpretada en este caso por mí en el Vibráfono junto al Ensamble de Percusión del Conservatorio de Música de Tres Arroyos (Argentina) durante mi concierto de graduación a fines del 2016.
La obra tiene aire a Chacarera (especie folclorica de Argentina).

PD.Recomiendo ampliamente que investiguen el trabajo de Lucas Guinot, hay composiciones para todo tipo de formaciones en intrumentos.

Hey everyone,

Part 3 in the series on how to solo over diminished chords melodically. The diminished IV chord (Bbo7 in the key of F) comes up a decent bit in standards -- like "The Nearness of You" and "I Remember You," among others -- and it's important to be able to meaningfully solo over! Full disclosure, I'll often treat it as an A7b9 chord, or a C7b9 chord! But watch the video if you'd like to know why.

Also, make sure to watch parts 1 and 2 if you haven't already, as there might be some some things in this video that won't make sense if not.

Hey everyone,

A little beauty...

Here is another low cost idea turned into reality by applying the new possibilities of 3D printing. My next frame will be equipped with these bar posts.

My collected ideas around the vibraphone can be found here:

Hey everyone,

Another lesson on comping on ballads! We're looking at rhythmic density and ways to create an overall sense of arc with your comping, or while you're playing solo. Let me know if you have any thoughts!

Hey everyone,

The next couple comping lessons will be focused on ballads. In this one, I share how I think of the range of the instrument -- like an orchestra, with a low range for bass movement, a middle range for melody and/or chords, and an upper register useful for subtle effects, upper structure triads subtle, and counter-lines. I think this is especially important when playing ballads!
