A Little Bit Goes A Long Way (LBGLW)

I got the idea to do a series called "a Little Bit Goes a Long Way".

There are some simple things that I learned that really branched out into many other things. Kind of like launch pads for so many other things.

I would argue that just about everything we learn can go a long way. But there are special things that really do.

I remember playing a simple progression Amin7 and Bmin7 and then coming up with all these ideas just using those 2 chords.

Do you guys have any simple things you practiced that went far in learning to play the vibes??

This Will Teach You A Lot!

”調式互換“(modal interchange)
寫一首C major的曲子,我們有七個順接和弦(Diatonic Chord)可以用。
而且每個和弦你可以用不同的和聲配置(voicing)達到不同的效果,
像是C5, C, C major7, C major9(13),C major7/E….
現在我們創一組和弦,只用到Ionian中的和弦
I Vi IV major7#11 I major7
C A- F Major7#11 Cmajor7

但是如果想要更多色彩,可以用”調式互換“(modal interchange)或著我們可以說,跟其他的調式借和弦來用(the borrowing of chords from Parallel modes)。
Parallel modes = 不同音階,但是他們用同一個主音。
