Ideas for Intros Pt. 3 by Behn Gillece

chinese translation is for Chinese students
講到intro,其實有千千萬萬種不同的方式,除了之前介紹到的降五音intro,
這邊又多了另一種intro的idea。
我們可以稱這個intro為I - IV。
因為是不斷反覆在一級和四級和弦中,並且導入到第一個和弦的方式。

在PDF中的第一個intro就是單傳的反覆在一級大和弦(Major chord)和四級大和弦中,
最後接到ii - V - I。

第二個intro是反覆在一級Major chord和五級sus4中,最後也是接到ii - V - I。

Cool Lick

Last month at the Vibes Bootcamp, Tony taught me this lick to use in Green Dolphin Street, and it's great in a bunch of other tunes too. I've been practicing it in all 12 keys in a couple styles, so here's all twelve swinging! Next step: Improvise.

8MAD - Bebop Major Scale

OK so it's 4 bars. Play it twice :-)

Get it under your hands and play it in C. Every few days play it in another key.

REMEMBER: play all these exercises in time. That is learn them and then make sure you can play it in time. Don't learn them out of time and then move on. Get it?

8MAD - Little Sunflower

This is a great exercise to help you really start thinking about comping through the scales.

It's the A section to Little Sunflower harmonized in block chords.

It's easy and if you know the tune you'll easily play it in D minor.

Keep it around and whenever you want do the exercise HOWEVER do it different keys. This will really help your comping as you will start moving the chords up and down the keys.
