"I'm A Fool To Want You" - working today on this classic song written in 1951 by Frank Sinatra, Jack Wolf and Joel Herron. Using my Vic Firth M39 mallets on a Yamaha vibe. I'm pleased with the sound and feel of the new mallets. Enjoying the nuance and subtleties at a soft dynamic level while still sounding full. (My apology for the squeaky pedal. I'll have to bring some oil next time. :) )

Healthly stride vibes playing ! Enjoy

A one chorus solo version of the melody to "You Don't Know What Love Is" recorded during a private lesson today at Berklee.

Here vibes played with real brazilian rythm and feel. Not so often ...

I'll give a free 1 hour Skype lesson to the first person who posts a video of them playing this etude.

About 10 of you guys did the mini concerts. That's great for us to come together like that. It feels a little like we performed together. So....

What if we pick a tune and all study it together with goals each week. It could even be beginner, intermediate and advanced goals. The point is we all practice together and post our work as if it's a lesson. Which it sort of is right?

What do you guys think?
