Vibraphone

Did I ever post this??? This is a great lesson by my mentor.

有很多Steve的學生問他說怎麼樣才可以增加和弦的詞彙，有些學生甚至會買很多關於和弦的書回家研究，並且想要藉此增加和弦的詞彙，但是Steve認為要用開放的思考模式來想這些和弦詞彙，比如說C大調三和弦一般人會認為這樣的音程關係就會存在C大調的一級和弦中，但是這三個音同時也可以出現在降B調中，分別能為9音也就是C，升11音也就是E, 以及13音也就是G。如果這個和弦只有三個音那就可以比四個音的和弦找到更多可能性，相對的五個音的和弦就更難找到適合的和弦，越多的音久越難找到合適的和弦。例如BCE這三個音，可以用在C大調中也可以用在a小調中或者是D13和弦中，F13和弦，d minor 13。不要覺得一個和弦只能有一個名稱，開放性的思考。現在試著找大三和弦，選一個大三和弦看看哪些和弦能讓這個大三和弦可以使用在其中。

Hi all,

This morning I got an unexpected and great message in my mailbox: Gerry Grosz from our sister site thevibe.net:

"Hi, Marie-Noëlle!

It's fixed! Both Bruce and John are now unblocked and have been notified. I can't believe it took me this long to figure out the problem, but I did get it.

Thank you for your keeping me notified and on my toes. :)

In other news, I broke my arm & had surgery just last week, so I'm a little out of the game right now, but feeling so good that I was finally able to fix this longstanding problem.

OH MAN my buddy just turned me on to this cat. Is this swinging or what!! Oh man!

It looks like we're over the 3000 mark with posts! That's a lot of information on the vibraphone!

Just thought I'd announce that.

When I saw Dana's post of his 'Un-structured improv I thought that's cool. We have a little wave of free improv going.

I posted that electronic stuff and now Dana posted this. Then I thought that would be cool if others just played whatever on their instrument and posted the outcome.

Playing free and using your ears to move the harmony is a great way to grow musically!

So the challenge is to post your own 'Un-structured improv'.

Merry Christmas!

A friend of mine sent this to my Facebook page. Enjoy!
