How do you teach experience? (Quick thoughts)

I'm thinking about teaching people and thinking about what I teach them and explaining things to them.

It hit me, that you can't teach experience and that's the thing that's most important of all. Experience is being on the gig, playing with others. Experience is making mistakes in front of people. Making bad decisions and good decisions.

That's the most difficult thing when I think about this. When I tell students to get out and play and they don't, but they say they want to be good players, I don't know what to do.

Monty Stark (Who knows about Monty Stark?)

John Keene sent me a recording of Monty Stark and John Abercrombie I posted it.

Here's an interview I found. I like this guy, didn't know anything about him. He seems cool, John Keene says he was.

Check out this interview of him:

I'm trying to find Monty Stark CDs.

A Little Bit Goes A Long Way (LBGLW)

I got the idea to do a series called "a Little Bit Goes a Long Way".

There are some simple things that I learned that really branched out into many other things. Kind of like launch pads for so many other things.

I would argue that just about everything we learn can go a long way. But there are special things that really do.

I remember playing a simple progression Amin7 and Bmin7 and then coming up with all these ideas just using those 2 chords.

Do you guys have any simple things you practiced that went far in learning to play the vibes??

This Will Teach You A Lot!

”調式互換“(modal interchange)
寫一首C major的曲子,我們有七個順接和弦(Diatonic Chord)可以用。
而且每個和弦你可以用不同的和聲配置(voicing)達到不同的效果,
像是C5, C, C major7, C major9(13),C major7/E….
現在我們創一組和弦,只用到Ionian中的和弦
I Vi IV major7#11 I major7
C A- F Major7#11 Cmajor7

但是如果想要更多色彩,可以用”調式互換“(modal interchange)或著我們可以說,跟其他的調式借和弦來用(the borrowing of chords from Parallel modes)。
Parallel modes = 不同音階,但是他們用同一個主音。
