The Modes In Detail - Dorian

Dorian is the mode that starts on the second scale degree of the major scale. So in the key of C play D to D.

Chinese Translation for Chinese students.
Dorian和 Ionian 的不同是,Dorian 降3音降7音
Dorian是最常在爵士樂中在小調和弦(Minor chord)中用到調式。II-V-I的和聲進行,II級幾乎都是用到Dorian。
(Tony示範各種不同爵士標準曲中(Standards)出現各種不同的Dorian聲音)

Practicing the Blues

Here is a way to practice the blues. Be strict about it... You'll see.

Chinese translation for Chinese students.

藍調音階,需要很重視語法(phrases),也就是怎樣組成個音階才像blues的語彙。

F blues scale: F Ab Bb B C Eb F

練習方法(in F key):

先打F and C, 製造一個固定低音的聲響(set a pedal)。再開始即興F blues scale。

先記好每個音中間的音程(Intervals),也就是熟記這個音階。

練習方式:

你可以用問與答的方式自己玩即興。

另一個練習方式,每個小節第一拍第一個音敲擊根音。其他二、三、四拍即興。
常見的藍調曲式:四小節F(一級)>兩小節Bb (四級)>兩小節F(一級)>一小節 C (五級)> 一小節Bb(四級) > 兩小節F(一級)

以Fmajor7為例:

Chinese translation for Chinese students

Ionian 的結構:比如以C因爲起頭音,一路上行,8個音中間半音全音的關係。全全半全全全半。

你可以用這樣的方式,找到七個調式音階,音根音中間的關係。

然後把這樣半全音的關係,套在不同起頭音(不同調)上面。

Dorian是全半全全全半全。
