OK so it's 4 bars. Play it twice :-)
Get it under your hands and play it in C. Every few days play it in another key.
REMEMBER: play all these exercises in time. That is learn them and then make sure you can play it in time. Don't learn them out of time and then move on. Get it?
This is a great exercise to help you really start thinking about comping through the scales.
It's the A section to Little Sunflower harmonized in block chords.
It's easy and if you know the tune you'll easily play it in D minor.
Keep it around and whenever you want do the exercise HOWEVER do it different keys. This will really help your comping as you will start moving the chords up and down the keys.
So here is an epic etude with a lot of what i'm talking about in the videos.
Your job:
Write in the changes with my extensions.
Listen and adjust your pedaling so it sounds like my playing.
當我們在演奏敘事曲（Ballad）時，練習主弦律都要使用到外棒（右手外側）。
因為其他棒子都要伴奏。
如果不是Ballad的曲子，不要只用外側棒，因為會容易失去節奏感(rhythmic feel)。

去到樂器前面，試著邊打和弦邊打弦律，以下是Tony的和聲配置（從低音到高音，沒有把弦律寫進去，僅和聲配置）
Bbmajor#11: Bb, D, G, C, E
A7: C#, F, G, C, (A root)
Dminor7: D, E, F, A要很強的小和弦色彩，就省略七音。
Db7: B, Eb, F, Bb
Cminor7: GC, BbEb左手雙音（四度雙音的和聲）
F7: Eb, F#, A, D
Bbmajor7#11: A, Bb, D, E,
A7: C#, F, G, C, (A root)
Dminor7: F, C, E, G
E7alt: G#, D , G, C
Aminor9: A C E G
Dminor7: D, F, A, F，（根音可以從D到C, 最後再回到Bb）
結尾：開頭的三個和弦，最後停在Dminor7。

四分音符即興
試著只用四分即興，這個幫助很大。
好處是你的腦中會慢慢開始有這些和弦的形狀，
即使你只是初學者，也可以只打根音、三音、五音，但是都是只打四分音符就好。
