This is a demonstration/lesson about harmonizing the blues scale to create chord solos. I hear this a lot in piano players and big band writing. It can be a little tricky to move chords around on the vibes quickly, but it works pretty well using simple lines from the blues scale.

Attached are two pdfs, one of the demo I play at the beginning and the other of harmonizing possibilities for each chord. I would welcome your ideas/suggestions as I am still working on this concept.

What I find interesting is making personal arrangement by playing all the parts on MIDI keyboard and acoustic vibes all over. You learn the tune then in the least detail.

這個練習可以幫助你練習止音、樂句以及音樂理論。
隨機選一個調性打一段旋律，再從那個調性中，選一個音當作是下一個樂句的調性的主音。
（1分03秒）
Ｃ - C major
(選一個在C major 中的音) 比如G 音 ——— (選一個音階會經過G這個音) Eb major
(選一個在C major 中的音) Bb ——— (選一個音階會經過G這個音) B major
Ab ——— E major
F# ——— F#major
F ———— F major

練這個練習，會讓你的樂句更有音樂性，如果一開始很慢沒關係，慢慢練習會越想越快，到後來也許你會先有粵劇的idea，調性才會出現。

如果你是一個沒有時間練琴的人，你更應該在練琴的時候，
練一些有音樂性的東西，而不是練一些無聊的技巧練習。
所以今天這個練習可以幫助你增加音樂性，並且讓你的音樂性聽力更強。
隨機選一個動機（Tony是演奏三個音開離位置的動機）
仔細聽看看這些音想要移動到哪一個調性哪一個音，不要有巨大的音成跳躍移動，
盡量保持小音程距離的移動。
從這個練習你會慢慢增進你的音樂性聽力。
