I found out that my favorite vibe player Victor Feldman used this grip! That's cool!

I was playing minor arpeggios and heard Chopin Valse, so I started fooling around with it in Cm (which was the arpeggio I was working on). I later dug out the music and found it was in C#m, so I had to relearn it. I am trying to work out a musically satisfying arrangement for the vibes.

This video is in 3 parts containing some sketches of the arrangements with 2 mallets. Eventually I want to get to use 4 mallets.

The first video is the A part in Cm. The second video is the A part in C#m. The third video is the B part in C#m.

Well..... We didn't talk about all of the vibraphone techniques but we got a bunch in here!!

Patty talks about the Steven's Grip, how to use it and why she likes it!

Patty Franceschi plays Etude 27 from Dave Friedman's Book Dampening and Pedaling. This is a must get book for all vibes players!!!
