Ok, since we are copping grooves... I found this file I recorded a long time ago... I can't remember when exactly. But here is a latin groove for all you guys to cop.

I thought this was a nice one for Tony's birthday as it's pretty cheerfull!

And if you're gonna transcribe, be sure to post it here for others to check out....

Well, Dana beat me to it, but I did my version differently, so it's okay. I was teaching in a room with a beautiful Malletech marimba today (and no vibes). I had a no-show student, so I used the time to record this as a marimba piece. I think it sounds nice this way as well. The recording is a little noisy because it's my laptop mic.

Ok. I tried to have some fun with this one. I set up two tracks on Ableton. One was for the solo loop the other was recording my take. I also set up a start record pedal and a stop loop pedal for the loop track. Then I started recording the take with metronome in the earphones. When I got to the solo section I looped a 6 bar phrase to solo over. I added the effects in post but the recording was all first take on my acoustic vibe through mics.

Sorry, there are many mistakes reading the etude (which rocks BTW!!! thx Tony!)

Guys,

I've been given this link by my guitarist friend Bernard after I shared the recent Clark Terry vid... This French band is too good!! FYI, on xylphone vibist Jean-Miche Davis. (pass it on! :o)

Enjoy!
