Translation for Chinese students 中文翻譯: 關於練習Ballads, 我們在之前的影片中提過保持速度感(Time), 如果在家自己練習時,我們可以保持很穩定的速度感和完整度, 在跟樂團一起演奏的時候,就可以更專注在和其他樂手的互動上了。 Tony覺得有很多事情可以思考, 1. 在演奏前奏的時候,調性就可以被確立-(示範:0:54-) 保持空間感,我們的耳朵可以聽到更多的東西。 有時候甚至只演奏一個音,和弦的進行其實就已經很明確了。…

Back at Berklee today for registration. Happy to get back to the college after a nice break during my sabbatical. Got in early since traffic into town was a breeze and had a little time to shed on a Marimba One. This is an “on the fly” run…
