I THINK I SAY DAMPEN I MEAN PEDAL!!!!!!!!
中文翻譯:
CYDT 是Can You Do This 縮寫，
這個系列都會有一些小小的有趣練習可以挑戰。

這集來說說踏板止音，
我們來試試，左手演奏四分音符（影片中Tony以C大調為例，左手演奏G C）
右手來演奏旋律，並專注在旋律上，目的是以思考旋律為基礎，來使用踏板止音，
演奏出乾淨的旋律線條。

你可以觀察看看，在做這個練習的時候，是不是自然而然的多以左手的和聲來思考，
運用踏板，如果是的話，先以慢速開始，大腦會慢慢知道我們的目的是要聽到乾淨的旋律線條，
多做幾次這個練習後，就可以自然而然的達到這個目的囉！

Gary Burton set the bar with his recording "Alone At Last" which was released in 1972. His rendition of this composition by Antonio Carlos Jobim was and still is unbelievable. I was very fortunate to study with Gary at Berklee while I was a student there from '72-'76. We spent quite a few lessons on this song. Gary talked about and showed various steps and techniques in approaching this song as a solo piece. This clip illustrates some steps, techniques and concepts as applied to Chega.

I've been recently working on a solo version of Bobby Hutcherson't "Little B's Poem". It's a 16 bar tune with no bridge. The form is simple but getting the feeling of the tune plus feeling good about the time and the groove have taken me quite a long time. Although I've been "dabbling" in the tune for years I feel I'm finally kind of getting it down. It's a killer. Questions like, "What should I play in the left hand?" "Should I play every change?" "Sould I comp during the solo or just play lines?" Lots of things to consider.

Here's the solo vibe piece that goes with the Misty Lesson. There are some serious challenges in it.

This is Giant Steps stuff!

I've told this story a million times. So sorry if you heard it before.

When my 1st wife was pregnant she came home and said so many woman were pregnant at the save time. I said I bet it's not any more than usual however you are pregnant and now you're seeing all these other pregnant women. We got into a big fight!

The point is, sometimes just doing stuff will pay off later.

Practice dividing the octave up into 3 parts and don't worry about why. I can do it very easily and if you can't then you should so we both can do it, think about it and talk about it.

Just kind of went off on some ideas I have :-)

Hi vibes friend today I'd like to present my transcription of the head of Falling Grace (Swallow) as played by Gary Burton in this video:

Unfortunately there's no description in the video but I think it was recorded in the '90.
Thanks a lot for watching and remember to follow me on Facebook Instagram and Youtube!

Great interview with Mike Mainieri. I'm probably the only person who hasn't seen it already but I thought it was excellent.
