Hi vibes players!

One day I was practicing scales and I thought: "all the work with scales, areas, voicings, etc, in vibes is about making pictures in the keyboard!" then I said: "If I know the picture well all the rest is easy", ergo "I can study scales with the pictures!".

This next file is collection of most scales, for practicing in vibes without vibes (train, night, library...) or to have near the vibes when you are practicing.

I don't know if it really works, at least is an experiment, hope is helpfull!

I have an extra computer, so i'm going to try and set up and use the camera on the computer. Just for fun!!!

So if you're around tune in.

I'd love to hear what other people do when they rehearse their bands. I'd especially like to hear about rehearsals with Frank Zappa (if anyone at VW has any experience with that). I heard he rehearsed a lot. I'd also like to hear about rehearsals with "local" bands and rehearsals that David Friedman, Gary Burton and Tony conduct when traveling, and anyone who is doing "professional" rehearsals who is paying their members for their time.

Eric goes in depth on some great and complex latin rhythm

Here's another tune from my 5-March gig -- "Black Orpheus". Me on vibes, Doug Sondak on flute, Richard Hale-Shaw on bass and Ed Conley on drums. Enjoy :-).

Ed "blesses us" with a great lesson series on independence and the song Life's Blessing

I just thought this was funny. So I'm passing it on.

We all know that Behn's lessons ROCK!!
