New Lesson Series: Rhythmic Studies 1 (whole notes)

This is a new lesson series I'm undertaking. It started out with me being dissatisfied with not being able to play longer melodic lines over chord changes. The basic idea is to break a tune into the most rhythmically simple components and build it up over time. This lesson starts with whole notes and the goal is to work up to 16th notes.

We are focusing on three things:

LBGLW-1 Part 1 (A Little Bit Goes A Long Way)

Here's part 2: http://bit.ly/lbglw1-part2

Chinese translation for Chinese students
任何兩個小調和弦。比如A minor, B minor
可以打開節拍器,自創一些loop,這樣可以練習你的time(節奏感)。
找不同的Voicing,play in time。
練習“time”、”旋律”、“voicing”、“3,7音”、”Groove”
你可以從這個簡單的小練習,
學到很多。

TOTM - Intros - Wave Intro

Chinese Translation is for Chinese students
Wave的intro,我們今天要來研究分析它,並且把這個intro放到不同曲子中當作intro。
這些曲子必須開頭第一個和弦是一級。

intro的和弦進行: I minor7-IV Dominant7
例如:開頭和弦是Bbmajor7, 那這個intro就會是Bbminor7- Eb7 - Bbminor7- Eb7 - Bbminor7- Eb7 - Bbminor7- Eb7

像是Green dolphin street, there is no greater love, days of wine and roses, Misty
在表演的時候多用幾次,
你的耳朵就會記得這個聲音,
你又多一個intro的素材可以用了:)
