Vibraphone

This is likely to be old news for most on the site but hopefully helpful for those who haven't worked through these yet. I don't think I mentioned very clearly that you can replace the fifth of each voicing with the 6th for more color or variation.

The Vibesworkshop videos are now available on Android phones. The app has the same functionality as the Roku app, so see http://www.vibesworkshop.com/video/vibesworkshopcom-roku-now-available/… to see how it works.

The app is available for free in the Android Market, just search for "vibes". Any feedback/problems, post here or e-mail me. Enjoy!

Ok here's a video on the etude: Holyhell937. I perform it and I talk about it.

I hope someone else tries to play this, misery loves company!

Here's the link with the actual lesson and pdf:

This is a beautiful lesson by friedman. Wait until you hear this solo! It's an incredibly melodic solo, which is the point of the lesson. So Watch: Lesson: Learn! And if you have any questions, ask David!

I've been a subscriber to Vibes Workshop for some time now and just wanted to tell Tony and everyone involved with the site how much I've enjoyed it! The video is a piece by Ney Rosauro (Brazilian composer) that I've been working on. For those of you that aren't familiar with Ney's music - I think he's a wonderful composer who captures the flavor and atmosphere of Brazil so well. Hope you enjoy.

I'm digging the idea of making a vibe collective book. I posted something in reply to barry's Ktude (i love it).

The ultimate book for vibe players. A book where we all contribute, or rather whoever would want to contribute. You know if lots of subscribers contributed, I bet we could beg some of the pros here for a little something to put in the book.

I've even thought about the money:

the site makes a percentage
managers make a percentage
contributors make a percentage based on pages they've contributed.

This vid cuts in in the beginning. But listen to it and check out the end. This is where we first worked on Freedom Jazz Dance as a blues.

We were winging it. You can hear the first couple choruses where we're getting the form of the blues straightened out! Funny huh? That's cool to me, figuring something out between us without words.
