任何兩個小調和弦。比如A minor, B minor
可以打開節拍器，自創一些loop，這樣可以練習你的time（節奏感）。
找不同的Voicing，play in time。
練習“time”、”旋律”、“voicing”、“3,7音”、”Groove”
你可以從這個簡單的小練習，
學到很多。

常常我們在Comping時，會限制在一個和弦只有一種voicing(和聲配置)
但是如果能在一個和弦上找到不同的voicing，並且是有和聲進行（Harmonic motion）的，會讓comping聽起來更豐富。
可以看看PDF檔中，Behn的例子是用藍調(Blues)來說明這個“互換兩個和聲配置”（Alternating two voicing）
熟悉了之後，可以開啟節拍器，按照速度演奏，再自己加上一些節奏感，這會是很好的練習。
Hi Everybody
I'm just back from the french Marciac Jazz Festival where i stayed almost 3 days. I've never had been there before, then knowing nobody at all. I discovered a very busy small village, with a lot of venues with jazz played live 3 or 4 times a day... The first evening I counted 32 jazz live sessions...
One of my "normal" jokes about vibes is to say that with this kind of big instrument, when you go to a jam session you have to come before the band for setting the axe and be sure to get the minimal room needed to play.
The recent post about piano players imitating vibes on an electronic keyboard got me thinking about grace notes.
It is my understanding that, in the Baroque era, these were mostly a notation shorthand. They were but one of many melodic ornamentations available. The playing convention was to give them a specific rhythmic value.

這一集我們仍然要講intro，但是並不是要給你新的和聲進行，
而是要給你一個不同的概念，
我們之前講的都是和弦式的打法，但是其實你可以演奏線條性的旋律（lines），
只要非常清楚的讓大家聽到和弦的性質以及色彩，
小技巧是，在快要進入曲子的前一兩個小節，你可以開始演奏一些和弦（voicing），
讓前奏聽起來清楚，讓大家可以知道你演奏到哪裡。
Hi Guys this month I'll talk about one of my favorite topics: Harmony.
I will explain 2 of my favorite close voicing and how to play them in context.
1. F-G-C-E can be a Dm7(9,11) or a G7sus9 or a FMaj7(9, omit 3)
2.D-G-Ab-C can be a Dm7b5(11, omit 3) or a dominant Bb7(9,13). It can also be the triton substitution of Bb7= E7(#9#5).
