I was chatting with my Dad tonight and he mentioned he heard Skylark on the radio and thought it would be nice to learn. I couldn't find it in my two fake books, which I am surprised. I thought it was a popular standard. I started doing…

We're in our second lesson with 'Take the A Train' in our tune group. I'm psyched and hoping that people stay interested in this. I think it would be pretty cool to have someday 10 or 20 of us working on a tune all together. That kind of…

I was hanging online with barryk and I found used mussers for 4500 and 4800 dollars over at www.malletshop.com. I couldn't believe that so I inquired why are they were so high priced. I thought I'd pass along the malletshop's answer: I…

I'm thinking about how to do a day online in August where maybe different vibe players do concerts all day online. I think we would need about 6 or 7 people, start at noon on a Sunday and go until 6 (Philly time). That should get most of…

When I practice it takes me a good hour before I can really start to get somewhere. It seems like for me that that first hour doesn't really even count although i have to do it to get past everything else. Get past what? The day, the crap…

There's been some talk about starting a tune club on the site. I decided to post a lesson on a tune. The lesson has an assignment. I figured if 5 guys to the assignment and post it, then I'll do the next part of the lesson. So check it out…

Just some quick tips I was thinking about with chord voicings. You know the goal is to be quick with all the voicings. So you have to practice moving around the instrument and getting familiar with the voicings. That takes a lot of work…

I was practicing, and as it often happens, I played a few notes that sounded familiar, but I didn't know what it is. Then I recalled it was from the Cal Tjader Soul Sauce album. The song was "Somewhere in the Night".http://www.…

There would be so much to say about Tony Miceli… Hmm... sure he’s not (yet) a super star. Not a top model. He readily and openly describes himself as a little overweight and sometimes even a bit tactless. He only has his little basement…
