one of my favorite Pat Metheny tunes ... love the coltranish changes on the second part of the tune

Only gems in this video - enjoy !!!!

I spent a week here in Ireland and we had a great time. I worked with some hard working players and we really dug into the vibes. I learned a lot from hanging and working with these guys!

So off the Delaware. Another 21 players studying acoustic and electronic vibes! It's always pretty amazing to me to see all these players who love this instrument and want to work so hard on it.

Ireland was incredible! We worked 5 days, from morning until night on the instrument. All the players Played the vibe hang and did a concert last night. So this was a great week!

Polka Dots and Moonbeams, comp. Jimmy Van Heusen

Here's another solo vibes melody with chord accompaniment I've been working on. The next ones I'm going to do a full tune solo, with soloing and whatever else

Greetings everyone,
Just took delivery on a new Musser M55. I'm geting back to mallet playing after a long, long hiatus. Very excited!

Could use some advice on a setup question. The highest F on the instrument rings even when the damper pedal is up.

How best to fix this?

Thanks!

This tune by Pat Metheny is titled Letter from Home and was featured on a CD of the same name that Pat put out in the 1990s.

The left hand accompaniment is mostly single line arpeggios which provide rhythmic movement and keep the piece flowing. The right hand uses octaves occasionally, which really sound good on vibes.

This is the First time This tune has every been played out and the first run thru for us .. the night was feeling good, so i pulled it out. I think i posted a lead sheet of this on the site back in 2009 ... its only 2 minutes long and was the only video that was taken at the gig .. via a cell phone so the Quality isnt that great .. but hey .. ya all get to see wat TMac does in southern oregon ....
