TOTM - Green Dolphin Melody

This is being translated for Chinese students.

歡迎來到vibesworshop.com,這是“每月一曲”時間,這個月我們要學 Green Dolphin Street和You Don't Know What Love Is。此時,我們已經練習這兩首曲子很久了,甚至已經超過一個月,我要問的是,你知道這兩首曲子的弦律嗎?最近我告訴我很多學生,如果你可以走到樂器前面然後就(演奏出 Green Dolphin Street美妙旋律)如果你沒辦法演奏這個曲子的旋律,你就是不懂這首曲子。對我來說這是第一步:你能夠演奏出旋律嗎?所以考慮到這點,當你每次在練習“每月一曲”時,你要確定,你能夠演奏出曲子的旋律。然後,我說過這件事五百次,你在演奏旋律的同時,要把旋律處理得非常乾淨並且在拍子上,這樣也能順便增進你的技巧。不要覺得你學習這個旋律沒有用,你要想的是,你有沒有把這個東西(弦律)處理好?如果你把旋律處理好,等於你學到了很大部分的東西。

TOTM - Green Dolphin - Shortude - B Section - 4

Ok this is the B section to Green Dolphin Street. Can you hear it? If not play the tune on the vibes get it into your head then try again.

Fill in the chords. Study the harmony and the solo. can you see the flat 9s? all the altered notes?

Play in C and Eb (and other keys).

Record the chords and then play the line on top of the recording.

Do this in all keys. Can you see how this could really help you? Recording the chords and then playing the solo in every key! Yikes!

TOTM - Green Dolphin Street - End of First Half

歡迎來到www.vibesworkshop.com,我們正在討論我們的每月一曲Green Dolphin Street,我們之前講的是在曲子的前半部,都是關於調式音階(Modal),第二部分,是很好的和弦二級接五級(II-V)的練習。主要也是因為和聲以小三度轉調進行(minor thirds)。第一部分的過門段(bridge)的和聲進行為(~Music~)Dm-G7-Cmaj7,然後Fm7(此為Cmaj7的上四度)-Bb7-Ebmaj7,然後回去C調。只要試這個部分,你可以循環演奏它(loop it)...Ya!只要試這個部分,然後這幾個和絃走完就好,不要走下去。把小部份東西循環演奏一直是個很好的練習方式,你再練的時候應該,開始,停下,開始,停下,這樣子你會真正學習曲子的每個部份。
