I've been up in the mountains this week. Brought my gear up. Lots of time to think and practice. Here is a stream of consciousness about the tune Peace.

Do you guys get stuff out of posts like these? This is pretty advanced stuff I think and you do have to know the tune well to follow me. But this is how me and my buddies teach each other stuff, we play stuff and talk about it. I do this on this tune, he does this over here, copped this off a record of Chick playing this over this tune, and on.

David said and I agree, I have so much fun playing on the Omega! It's really an incredibly fun instrument to play on!!!!

This is an arrangement of My Foolish Heart that I put together from various Bill Evans recordings of this tune. The bassist is Blake Bonde.

Have you guys seen this site?

All the grips are on there! It's pretty cool.

What is your favorite grip and most importantly if you didn't use the grip you use, what grip would you use next (can't be the same one :-).

My grip is on there and credited to Gordon Stout. I think Gordon uses one grip in his left hand and one in his right hand?

After I did a lesson (Click here for the lesson) on playing solo I tried it fast and came up with what I think is a decent performance of the piece.

Sorry about the metal ding, this is a five year old frame and I have to change a pad on the posts.

Important information for every vibe player!

I'm up in the mountains of Pennsylvania this week and I brought a bunch of gear. I put some thoughts down on practicing 2 5 1 licks and wrote the licks out.
