Working up a solo version of Horace Silver's Peace. We all need some peace right about now...

Comments welcome - work in progress.

Comment if you want me to write out the chord melody and upload it!

Here's a video of me playing the 14th etude for vibraphone pedaling from David Friedman's technique book. Not the cleanest run but the cleanest video take... Comments and feedback welcome.

Hey guys,

Here's the information for the online workshop.

We're doing it on a program called Zoom. Zoom is a very easy program to use. Just click the link and download the app and you should be able to figure it out.

We'll start at 12:00 EST 16:00 UTC

Here's the information:
Tony Miceli is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Vibesworkshop Presents David Friedman
Time: Mar 22, 2020 12:00pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) 16:00 UTC

What do you think? It's early Gary! I love to hear him and know he was so young.

As promised, I am trying to provide information on how we created our first DIY bar set.
Since I don't really understand how blogging works here, I put all the content on my private website (I can handle it more easily) and link to it.

Please discuss and comment here!

This is a project I've been working on for a long time. I'm offering it up as new practice material while isolated due to Coronavirus Lockdown. It's about 1/3 complete but it's a LOT of practice work.

I came up with the idea about 35 years ago, then put it out in a very rough form with intentions of someday making it more user friendly. In the past few years, I add to it it when I feel like messing with it. It's great practice material and is very challenging. I thought I'd add it to the mix here at VW for folks looking for something different to work on while held up at home.

You can listen here to both parts.

Down load the other file which is just one part and then add your part.

Any questions let me know.

Let's play and post on here. Do mini concerts, do whatever. Let's be active and work on stuff and post our growth here! Make videos and post them.

I'm also thinking about doing some group Skype or Zoom calls. Anyone interested in hanging and talking about vibes? Asking questions, playing, whatever.
