Essential Lines and Patterns for Soloing 

These are one of my go-to sets of mallets when I'm using the pickup system on my vibes, but I recently tried them on marimba and I LOVED the sound I was getting.

Hello all,

Thanks to everyone who has responded thus far with ideas for my vibes history project (original post: https://www.vibesworkshop.com/blog-entry/new-vibraphone-history-project…)

I humbly post this video of Exercise number 7. I would be very happy to get any input or advice.

Thank you, John Grant
