Ballads - Move it Along!
*Ballads - Move it Along!
Translation for Chinese students
中文翻譯:
關於Ballads(慢速的樂曲)
想要將Ballads演奏好,
我們可以專注在幾個重點上面:
1. 速度感的保持、
2. 在保持速度感的基礎下,加入一些有趣的節奏變化
在演奏節奏的時候,樂曲的速度就被建立出來(示範),
當然可以規規矩矩的把和弦進行打在拍子上,
但能夠演奏出一些有趣的節奏,讓聽眾覺得被吸引,
是很棒的一件事情。(Tony在1:43示範中,有用到類似pedal point的效果,和弦進行在一個持續音上)
可以先找一個和弦,專注在速度和節奏上(示範:Ed major);
再找兩個和弦試試(示範:Ed major, Ad major )
記得:保持速度感
快來試試吧!

A Lesson From Freddie Hubbard - Birdlike Solo -V
I've been playing through Freddie Hubbards solo from his tune Birdlike. Oh man is there a ton of stuff in this solo!
Here's an excerpt. The second chorus. Check out the E natural in the first bar over the F7. He does this all over the place. He does it also on the 4 chord later on. It's so cool because you can see ways you can play the major 7th over the dominant chord.
Next this chorus is a GREAT etude. try to play it using alternate sticking and get it up to speed. It will take some work! After that play it in different keys!

Song For My Father Chord Etude
Song for My Father is a Great tune to study mainly because it has a couple dom 9 chords. Not altered, not diminished, just a 9 chords. We can get rid of the root and the fifth and add the 9th and the 13th. I do this in this etude.
Most of this tune can and should be played with rootless voicings ESPECIALLY with a bass player. Here I add the root but it's never with the chord. This is to make sure you can hear the voicings in context.
We have to be careful with rootless voicings. They can sometimes sounds like a different chord then they are supposed to be.
