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 ornamentations available. The playing convention was to give them a specific rhythmic value.

這一集我們仍然要講intro，但是並不是要給你新的和聲進行，
而是要給你一個不同的概念，
我們之前講的都是和弦式的打法，但是其實你可以演奏線條性的旋律（lines），
只要非常清楚的讓大家聽到和弦的性質以及色彩，
小技巧是，在快要進入曲子的前一兩個小節，你可以開始演奏一些和弦（voicing），
讓前奏聽起來清楚，讓大家可以知道你演奏到哪裡。
Hi Guys this month I'll talk about one of my favorite topics: Harmony.
I will explain 2 of my favorite close voicing and how to play them in context.
1. F-G-C-E can be a Dm7(9,11) or a G7sus9 or a FMaj7(9, omit 3)
2.D-G-Ab-C can be a Dm7b5(11, omit 3) or a dominant Bb7(9,13). It can also be the triton substitution of Bb7= E7(#9#5).
A brief snippet of Chord Tone Soloing over "The Days of Wine and Roses". One of the first topics that my students and I work on in my Berklee improv class. It's a basic but important and fundamental technique to have down. Some of the things we focus on include connecting the chords, use of motives, phrasing, feel and sound. All crucial musical elements needed to make it work. All of this is addressed in Volume 1 of my improv series The Complete Guide to Improvisation.

還沒有看學會如何演奏intro，要接到曲子第一個和弦是二級。
TOTM - Intros - Starting on the 2 Chord” 先去看那支影片。
這支影片講到如何接到六級和弦，這個六級是將會接到曲子第一個和弦是二級和弦的情況。
Tony說花一些時間自己聽出來，在過程中你會學到很多，所以這一集我就不翻譯出來啦哈哈！如果你有任何問題，請寫信給我，我們可以一起討論，或是你聽不出來他在打什麼，都可以寫信過來問我！！！chloechienz@gmail.com

Intro idea
一般人開頭常常會用到的intro是
Gminor7- C7b9- Bbminor7- Eb7- Gminor7- C7b9- Fmajor7- D7b9- Gminor7- C7b9
但是我們今天要說的是Red Garland在Bye bye Blackbird裡面用到的intro。
Csus- Ebsus- Gminor7- C7b9- Fmajor7- D7b9- Gminor7- C7b9
在鐵琴上有時比較不好打，因為音域的問題，但是你可以去試著找找聲音，Sus和弦很適合在鐵琴上演奏。所以這是一個很好的intro idea。
