Trivia Q. How many notes are there in one octave of the vibraphone?
Learning to play jazz is learning from the great players that played before us. In this section there will be transcriptions of great solos by great jazz players. Not only vibraphone solos, but all instruments. The idea is that you check what transcriptions are here and then first transcribe it yourself. When you transcribe, the best way is to learn the solo while you play along. This takes time but you will develop your ears more this way.
Here's a great Friedman Vid. Dave wrote the book 'Dampening and Pedaling'. He's one of the major players on the scene and has a very very unique sound on the instrument. I have always totally admired his lines, his comping, geez (to use a palin term) his playing!!!
What's extra great about this vid is there's no drums, you can really here him clearly and hear him comp rhythmically. Really cool stuff!
Here's a prerequisite for the Shapes and Patterns of Music sight reading. My recommendation is to play these exercises as fast as you can but start at the beginning no matter how proficient you already are. If it's too easy, play it faster!
Yikes!
