Tony demonstrates different approaches to playing over rhythm changes.
We saw a lot of this at the workshop in Delaware.

Here you go! Lesson 2 for the TOTM. Also I'll post a simple chord etude to check out. This is from another lesson I did on this tune.

Yo,

Here's my first contribution to the TOTM.

This is likely to be old news for most on the site but hopefully helpful for those who haven't worked through these yet. I don't think I mentioned very clearly that you can replace the fifth of each voicing with the 6th for more color or variation.

The Vibesworkshop videos are now available on Android phones. The app has the same functionality as the Roku app, so see http://www.vibesworkshop.com/video/vibesworkshopcom-roku-now-available/… to see how it works.

The app is available for free in the Android Market, just search for "vibes". Any feedback/problems, post here or e-mail me. Enjoy!

Guys,

My little year of Vibes lessons seem so far away... some 8 years ago... Having no instrument at home of course gave no results, but I remember those moments I would spend on the concert hall, alone on stage... not only practicing the required excercices (hum...), but also "messing around" with the bars...

Here is the only thing I have from that period... a little lullaby... which today has its perfect tittle: John Daly, ain't you a bit my brother now, as happy owner too of a Premier? ;-)

PS: I should also call that tune Brother Patrice, right? ;-)

Dear all,

This day is a very special day for me. After nearly 23 years and a few long weeks of expectation, this morning I finally came to that incredible thing of getting myself… a vibraphone!!
