THE ultimate weapon ! ;-)

Here's one more I am working on for my guitar/accordion jam.
This one I tried doing octave melody. Also some neighbor tone stuff.

My camera is not good at taking pictures from gigs. But I love this one from Monday's gig: Mike listening to Franck's bassist...
Listening... the first thing we all need to learn if we want to play "the truth"... This picture looks like a whole lesson to me... Thank you Maestro! :o)

Man what a wonderful journey! It all started this Monday evening in Paris at the "New Morning". French vibist Franck Tortiller (vibes/marimba) and his trio (d-bass/drum) had a very special guest as Mike Mainieri.

Hi All,

Here's another one of my compositions from the CD project I'm working. It's called "The Thirteenth Floor". This track was created by cutting and pasting two different takes together, and I think the tempo difference between the two takes is too much, so we'll probably have to re-edit (feedback on this appreciated).

And any other comments or criticisms are great appreciated.

Studying lessons 1 and 2 of the intermediate course, I was wanting to find a tune where open and closed voicings could apply well in the same tune. I know it's the topic of a further lesson, but I was wanting to do something of my own, and here I found this tune, composed in 1962 by a great french guitarist and singer, Henri Salvador. This song is still very popular in France (the lyrics by Bernard Dimay are excellent too) and played by many musicians.
This is a rough version, I'll polish it with time, and post again.

PASIC 2012, Austin TX. The duo with Sergio Salvatore. This is right before the doors open. It was a fun concert. The new Omega Vibraphone by Malletech sounds fantastic.

This is a blog dedicated to the study of Baroque. Consider this a part of the TOTM - CHOPS. I inspired to create this blog from Tony's post about increasin techinque (http://www.vibesworkshop.com/story/few-simple-things-will-dramatically-…). You can post your performances here or you can fill in the other voice that miss from the baroque pieces are posted here.

This Friedman etude No3 from one of my students. I always encourage my students to make up and play their own etudes. I will post his soon.

Enjoy
