Thought I'd join in on these practice tapes. I've been working on reharmonizing this tune. Just some of it, not the whole thing. I recorded it for myself, but I figure I'll just throw it on here for everyone. I tried to get some motion in…

Okay, after Tony's joke on the practice tape post, I decided this subject probably needed its own thread. So here is my story about the motor: When I was a student, I started playing and decided that to sound modern on the vibes, one…

Here's another one guys... A better recording, too. I was working on a thing with this tune to do the first time thru kind of rubato, with the motor off. Then I kick on the vibrato, and go into a weird meter (mostly 5/4 ish) feel.. the…
