As requested by Anthony, here's my version of Black Nile. This would be an interesting tune for us all to study. You know it's said to be a modern tune and it is and a really fun one to play, however when you check out the harmony it's…
I live in Philly and I'm looking to sell my Yamaha 3710 vibraphone. It's a GREAT instrument that needs a little love. Bought it new in 2005 for $5500. Needs a new damper bar and new motor. I have replaced a few broken bars, so some of them…
Oh man...
This is it! I got the Friedman book some 10 days ago. What a great moment to open it!!
Then I had a first look and thought: jeez... this is gonna be hard work! I can hardly read a score, I'm hardly starting to play. I have no…
Sorry to get all cheezy, but there are some players on this site doing cool stuff.
There are some really talented players here!
I'm amazed because I've seen some of these guys for almost 5 years now. I've seen the progress and what can…
Crazy gig today. The picture says it all. First words when I walked into the party was hearing one guy ask the other guy "Do you surf the internet?" Actually there were a few musicians there and it was an ok party to play at. We played all…
Udel students. Here's your first assignment. Choose one of the lessons under check this out and do the assignment.
If you do the lesson 'getting to the four chord' give a few examples of getting there.
If you do the blues scale lesson make…
Hi everybody !I tried Behn's "riffin' and spellin" approach here, but I didn't emphasize the minor pentatonic enough. Never mind "it will have to do, until the real thing comes along", as the song goes. Cheers Philippe

I hope you will forgive me for once to post my final Blues out of the lesson, like Tarik and Phillipe (aren't we bad students!!). This tune, written by Boris Vian was performed by our great and late Henri Salvador. As there are lyrics in…
ok here´s my final TOTM already. i´m really sorry for the bad and out of tune vocal performance.since this site is more or less family and privat like i don´t care for wrong notes :) i wanted a friend of mine to sing it but he is busy and…
I've a sing-a-long vibe show coming up at a rest home next week. In the firm belief that going on with life into old age takes both courageous endurance and a sense of humor, I wrote up the following lyrics to "So What". I'd welcome…
Cool few days. I play duo with this alto player Aaron Irwin and we have a lot of fun playing tunes. Well we've started to do a study of Parker tunes. We took Blues for Alice, Donna Lee and Anthropology and soloed on them through the keys.…
Recording of today's sight reading etude using dampening with the pedal down throughout.
Note: The click is on each eighth note since I couldn't get the metronome to be slow enough for each quarter note.
Etude No. 7 for me is the first etude in this book that's perfect for a recital. It incorporates all the dampening and pedaling discussed so far in an etude that really sounds pretty.
In the book Dave says that he's indicated stick no. 4…
This is a really pretty etude and will give you an intro into dampening and moving chords around. This is a great study which will really help your playing.
Here David talks about solo playing and makes the point about syncopation. Why play the same rhythm with both hands? Play another rhythm with the left hand.
Hi, I'm currently studying the jazz vibes at the University of Sherbrooke and I'm selling my vibraphone YAMAHA 2700G. This is my very first vibraphone and I've been playing on it for 2 years. It comes with the YAHAMA cover for this model…
I was playing F blues and some interval or chord I played reminded my of this tune. I didn't know the name of it so I went to http://www.musipedia.org/flash_piano.html and played the partial melody on the piano in the web page and it…
