Hi!
Here is " Beautiful love " during my vibes exam' in december 09.
A lot of stress! and there are a couple of bad choice of notes in my solo :/
Also, I find that the attacks of notes is too precise and squared, no? I would like to have more flexible and fluid playing! ...
thanks for listing! =)

A quick lesson on finding threads through tunes and building lines around them.

here is another track of my trio. i really like that theme a lot. it´s written by wes montgomery.

since i heard some different versions of that tune on the site (e.g. phillipe´s which i really liked a lot) i thought i post a trio version of the tune with a very little arrangement by me...the recording is from last year may or april i think so it´s not my recent playing but who cares :)

Woah!! Bobby comping with 4 mallets!!!

Here is my version of etude #10. Sorry for the poor recording quality but i had to use my computer microphone for this. Thanks!!

Not much of a classical player but I always loved this pice.

Most of this piece can be adapted relatively easily to the vibes.

I have attached the sheet music, available for free online. I would love to hear other versions from members.

A member of the site here just got his first gig on vibes. I thought I would mention that and mention how important it is to play live. Yes if you haven't done it, the first times are a little scary and might even be a disaster, but this is a huge part of getting better and you need to do it.

Thought maybe we could discuss this a little bit if you guys wanted to. Playing in groups and playing live is a important as practicing, if not more!
