"Four to the Bar" Tutorial on Stars Fell On Alabama

Guys, here's a tutorial on the "four to the bar" style on Stars Fell On Alabama. Had some fun with adding the hats. I use to do this with piano but not vibes, so it needs tweaking. Would have picked a smaller/thinner and quieter set of hats but beggars can't be choosey. Ha!Ha! Hope you find this helpful. My thoughts about note selection and considerations for the comping are in the video description. Let me know if you have any questions. Ed.

You Don't Know What Love Is - Etude 151020 by BarryK

I'm working on writing an Etude for "You Don't Know What Love Is", to practice dampening and pedaling. The audio, above, is me playing. The attached PDF and .mp3 are the Etude (MP3 auto-generated; generated way too fast for some reason even though I set it to 60 bpm). Still working on arranging the bridge; ideas appreciated.
