Here's part 2: http://bit.ly/lbglw1-part2 Chinese translation for Chinese students 任何兩個小調和弦。比如A minor, B minor 可以打開節拍器,自創一些loop,這樣可以練習你的time(節奏感)。 找不同的Voicing,play in time。 練習“time”、”旋律”、“voicing”、“3,7音”、”Groove” 你可以從這個簡單的小練習, 學到很多。

The recent post about piano players imitating vibes on an electronic keyboard got me thinking about grace notes. It is my understanding that, in the Baroque era, these were mostly a notation shorthand. They were but one of many melodic…

Chinese translation is for Chinese students 常常我們在Comping時,會限制在一個和弦只有一種voicing(和聲配置) 但是如果能在一個和弦上找到不同的voicing,並且是有和聲進行(Harmonic motion)的,會讓comping聽起來更豐富。
