I did this quickly for a student and figured I'd post it here in case any of you guys want to try it.

It's in the key of Eb. It's Fmin7 Bb7 Ebmaj7 C7 progression.

Look at each voicing and name the chord.

Remember these are vibes voicings. For many of them there will be no roots so keep the progression going in your mind.

Get it?

I see some enharmonic mistakes. Like Fb which is E of course.

Anyway check it out. If you fill it out and post it, I'll look it over.

Guys, here's the videoclip of Basin Street Blues from our Sunday session at the house. The audioclip of this track was previously posted. More clips of the session are up on my YouTube channel. If anyone has any questions about what I'm doing on these clips in terms of techniques, what I'm thinking about, improv techniques, etc., feel free to ask. Ed

Hi guys, here's the videoclip of Jobim's Triste. I had previously posted the audioclip of Triste from our session. There are some more clips of the session on my YouTube channel including two takes each of Autumn Leaves, Basin Street Blues and Irving Berlin's Isn't This A Lovely Day. Ed

POST YOU AUDIO HERE. NOT ON THE OTHER PAGE.

I've also attached the pdf here as well. You can print that out to help you.

And also I've pulled in all the open and closed lessons on the site. So you have plenty of info.

(If a few of you guys want to go over this with me, I'll come out to the school one night)

(And if a few of you guys want a little general workshop and we can do it in the evening, I'll come out one night and we can hang)

Just got my new vibes today, musser m55 gold, I love em already. Just thought I'd put something up here for fun.

HI:

I am in process of building my own set of 3 8va vibes. I have all the bars cut to the proper length with no node holes drilled as of yet. They are 1/2" thick and come in 2, 1 3/4 and 1 1/2 inch widths.

Who can I send them to for INITIAL tuning to either A-440 or A-442? I either do this or buy one on line? Help is appreciated.

I am conductor of a large civic band here in Clearwater (Dunedin) FL and we need a set but cannot spend $4K on a new outfit. Anything would help. Thanks.
