I Think This is a Great Lesson

Attached is a PDF. I think these types of exercises are invaluable. However they take a lot of time in the beginning and get easier towards the end. But you are a changed musician at the end.

Put the chords in (it's All the Things You Are). Analyze it a little bit.

Play it and memorize it.

Put it through all the keys, from memory. This is the very very important part. Eventually the melodies will be in your head and you will go to the right notes. You'll then see alterations in other keys, you'll be training your ears. I did so much of all this, back in the day!

Voicing of the Day (VOD) - Sharp 9 Voicing

Chinese translation for Chinese students

屬七和弦升九音的和聲配置:

以F7#9為例,演奏3, 5, b7, #9,分別是A, C, Eb, G#(Ab)

你也可以看成是Ab大三和弦加上A為低音。

要熟記這個和聲配置,就是要轉到12個調裡。

並且切記,如果真的要熟悉而且會演奏時反應很快的就能夠應用上,一定要放到ii-V-i裡面練習。
