Vibraphone

In the home studio tonight doing a little practicing and experimenting with a beautiful composition by the great Leonard Bernstein. Although the song is usually played as a straight 8th ballad, I'm having some fun seeing what happens playing it with more of an uptempo Brazilian feel. Another ballad that is also often played like this is the classic Body and Soul.

Here´s my pratice tape video from our TOTM. I will post another final version without the click if i find the time ...

Here are some solo techniques, thoughts and approaches related to my solo vibraphone clip of Paul McCartney’s "Yesterday" on my YouTube channel.

A gem of a song with a beautiful melody, lyrics and harmony written by Paul McCartney. I hadn't played this song in a longtime and started experimenting with it last week. The song plays itself. I worked out some harmonic variations on the piano before applying to the vibes.

Victor Feldman: The Arrival of Victor Feldman (1958)

Try this out and work it up fast! It's a little tricky and it's all the natural notes which makes it extra hard!

Hi Guys this month i'm going to do a really basic lesson for those of you who still have problem playing chords on the vibes, and understanding how to use extensions/alteration properly (9,11,13).
As usual feel free to contact me through my website: www.giovanniperin.com

Have a nice week

I think most of us know a few things about the brain based on recent research. We know that when you stop practicing something, stop solving a problem, the brain does not stop. I've been working out a few things lately and I've got to see that in action.

I hope you guys realize that step one of working out a problem is to play it and show yourself the problem, spend some time trying to fix it and then finally walk away from it. Let the brain work on it. Next day it's better.
