Understanding Tritone Substitutions
by John Mark Piper

To understand the basics of tritone substitutions and how they typically function is an important aspect of music. Having good command of them can help a musician's reading, hearing, performing and memorizing music.

Joe takes a strange progression and resolved it because of the melody!

How about as an exercise, one of the subscribers transcribe the progression!

The phrygian scale is pretty cool because it has a minor 2nd between the root and the second scale degree. That gives it a very exotic sound!

Chinese translation for Chinese student.

如果拿Phrygian 音階和大調（major）音階來比較，Phrygian音階多了降2降3降6降7音。

在第一個音和第二個音中間是個半音，也因為這樣聽起來非常特別。

這個C為開頭音的Phrygian順階和弦，第一個和弦為Cminor 第二個和弦為Dbmajor

你可以聽到這樣的聲響在很多中東音樂、猶太音樂中等。

演奏大調音階跟Phrygian音階，比較看看。

通常在小調中會用到Phrygian，但是跟Dorian, Aeolian比，Phrygian最少用到。

Here is a transcription from Joe's video 'Intros Part 2'.

Here are some 4 mallet exercises I made a long time ago. These are just some ideas of how to create exercises to practice 4 mallet playing. I hope you like these. See the attachment for the pdf.

I'd like to talk a little about categorizing the material you are practicing.

The major scale is the Ionian mode.

今天要講Ionian,
就是大調音階，如果你還不熟悉，要先把每個調的大調練好再來看這支影片。
（Tony示範Ionian出現在生活中的各種聲音）
練習各種不同調式，可以用左手開始，或是右手開始，熟悉棒法。

Here's another great lesson from Joe Locke! This is great! I'm stealing it as you read this!!!! - Tony
