Raphael is going to be posting etudes on the site, one a month for subscribers. Here's the first one! He's putting it in Sibelius and as soon as it's done I'll get it on the site.
But check this etude out. This cat can play!!
Sorry to re-surface this lesson but for some reason it was listed as "new" in my posts and when I checked on it the accompanying PDF was missing. Just thought I would fix it.
Check out David Friedman's new piece 'Bettina Dreams of the Garden of Elves'. It's an epic piece and we'll be selling it Feb. 1, 2010 in our new store www.store.jazzimprovonline.com.
And especially check out David's student Julius Heise. He's a great young player with a GREAT teacher!
Here is my Drop 2 version of "As Time Goes By". All I am doing here is playing the melody harmonized in Drop 2 voicing. When there is no melody, I fill it in a little but I was trying to keep it simple. I have attached the music to what I play in the video below in my comment.
This takes a lot of work to do smoothly on the vibes. It does not work for every melody, nor would you want to play like this all the time but I think it adds a sophisticated vocabulary to the instrument.

Here's a good performance of David Friedman's new etude 'Texas Hoedown'.
I'll buy and send a copy to the first two people who want it and agree to learn it and post a video within 2 months of their performance. (Must be a subscriber)
Hey vibes-men and -women,
please look at the video in "HQ" (if possible) and "full screen size"! Then you can listen to the original solo and read the music as SIBELIUS-score. The cursor always shows you where you are.

Have fun!
