就止掉那個音。保持乾淨的旋律。
含有這個音的音階,比如說
C major
Db major

For many years now, I've been working with a local arts organization, the Hopkinton Center for the Arts (https://hopartscenter.org/). For the past several years I've organized what we've called the Sunset Jazz Concert series -- 6 to 8 outdoor jazz concerts during the summers on Saturday nights.

Two years ago, through some herculean fund raising, the HCA managed to complete building a new performance/gallery/instruction facility. At this time I added a monthly jam session, now on the 2nd Friday night of each month.

選兩個小調和弦
Aminor(A,E,C,G) Bminor(B, F#, D, A)
然後去到Cminor(C,G, Eb, Bb)
試著自己找出tony演奏的這一系列和弦。

保持這樣的Voicing(和聲配置),然後只演奏root和3rd

可以自己創造出不同音的組合,創造出一個groove,
保持固定的Voicing(和聲配置),然後只演奏root和3rd
或是
R, 5th, 2nd, 3rd

R, 2nd, 3rd,
……….

選幾個和弦,play in time, 簡單的小練習,,可以練習很多東西,練習抓到groove and feel。

F, Eb, Ab, C
G, F, Bb, D
Ab, F, C, Eb

可以只loop前四個和弦,然後play a groove in time(選一個節奏型態,定速演奏),甚至演奏一些簡單的solo, 維持bass音。
*play a groove in time(選一個節奏型態,定速演奏)時,就算有一點miss掉音,也還是保持節奏感。
也可以只演奏bass音(一路上行),然後solo。

你可以從這個簡單的小練習,
學到很多。

Alternating Two Voicings by Behn Gillece

Chinese translation is for Chinese students
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。
