TOTM - Green Dolphin - Chord Note Chord

This is being translated for Chinese Students

歡迎來到www.vibesworkshop.com,我們正在討論我們的每月一曲Green Dolphin Street還有 You Don't Know What Love Is. 我現在來研究Green Dolphin Street,我們要來做的事是很好應用在Green Dolphin Street中的,也就是學習如何在旋律上配和聲,以下是我以前都是這麼練,第一我要先聽熟這首曲子(~Music~),你聽到這首曲子了嗎?好!所以接下來我要做的事是我第一拍先打和弦(~Music~)一、二、三、四... (~Music~)這樣我就有很多時間去思考拍子、和弦配置(the voice),這是一首很好做這個練習的曲子(~Music~),我就是每拍都打和弦還有和弦音,這是個很簡單的練習,但是非常非常有用!如果你練起來了,而且加快速度打,可以訓練自己立刻打出一些非常有趣有好聽的和弦配置,所以如果我這樣(~Music~)。一開始要放慢速度,所以你可以在這其中找到一些和弦與和弦間的循環(~Music~),就是這樣!好!這是個非常簡單的一課。

Ton Risco: flamenco on vibes

"Alfonsina y el mar" is an argentinian song written by Ariel Ramírez which I adapted to vibes from a flamenco guitar arrangement by Marcos Teira. The original rhythm is the zamba, from Argentina, but I play a flamenco rhythm called bulería, using the vibraphone like a guitar with arpeggios and dampened chords. The form is AAB and I played a little impro in the second AA. I hope you like it. Cheers!!!

Pentatonics on Green Dolphin Street

In this clip I'm improvising with Pentatonics over "On Green Dolphin Street".

In addition to Pentatonics, there are some Upper Structure Triads (USTs) and Four Note Groupings (FNGs) in there. USTs and FNGS are two of the chapters in "The Complete Guide To Improvisation - Volume Two" that was just released.

The improvised solo in this clip was later transcribed by German vibist Volker Heuken.
