I was practicing a few weeks ago and when reviewing some of my taping, I really liked this one for some reason. It is quite short so I decided to share it. it was practice with some different goals, most of which were accomplished.

Tony demonstrates different approaches to playing over rhythm changes.
We saw a lot of this at the workshop in Delaware.

This is likely to be old news for most on the site but hopefully helpful for those who haven't worked through these yet. I don't think I mentioned very clearly that you can replace the fifth of each voicing with the 6th for more color or variation.
The Vibesworkshop videos are now available on Android phones. The app has the same functionality as the Roku app, so see http://www.vibesworkshop.com/video/vibesworkshopcom-roku-now-available/… to see how it works.
The app is available for free in the Android Market, just search for "vibes". Any feedback/problems, post here or e-mail me. Enjoy!

Ok here's a video on the etude: Holyhell937. I perform it and I talk about it.
I hope someone else tries to play this, misery loves company!
Here's the link with the actual lesson and pdf:

This is a beautiful lesson by friedman. Wait until you hear this solo! It's an incredibly melodic solo, which is the point of the lesson. So Watch: Lesson: Learn! And if you have any questions, ask David!
I've been a subscriber to Vibes Workshop for some time now and just wanted to tell Tony and everyone involved with the site how much I've enjoyed it! The video is a piece by Ney Rosauro (Brazilian composer) that I've been working on. For those of you that aren't familiar with Ney's music - I think he's a wonderful composer who captures the flavor and atmosphere of Brazil so well. Hope you enjoy.
