I never heard about a technique that I just thought of and tried out.

I was playing a line and let the last note ring out. I took my open palm over that note and fluttered it up and down to get a tremolo. This is analogous to what a harmonica player does with his hands. Sounds cool.

I couldn't find any references to this technique on the web. Tony mentioned that he knows about others that have done this and used their mouths going whaa whaa whaa over the note after you hit it.

I'd be interested about hearing more about this technique (using hand or mouth).

Just playing over Lullaby of the leaves for a student.

Tony did you check out Bluesette yet let e know ta

It's fairly simple for private students to post lessons for me to review. Check out this video.

Part A in Cm then C#m.

Is it or isn't this my grip! Who knows! Someone else named and I've written the most extensively about it. Call it what you want, but I think it's a great grip to play vibes with. Sort of has the best of both worlds.

My favorite vibe player Victor Feldman uses it. That alone is enough reassurance that this is a very effective vibraphone grip. Check out the vids!
