Ways to practice scales.

第一件事，如果你要打8度上行，可以試著打到第九音在下行，這樣聽起來比較悅耳。

再來可以練習小調，Dorian（大調降3,7）, 旋律小音階Melodic minor scale。

等到你熟了一點後，可以打在不同的調上，可以用半音轉調練各種不同調，或是用四度轉調。

Peptalks, thinking outloud, ohhhmmmmm, Yoda kind of stuff!

Phew, cranked out a bunch of lessons today! Just wanted to pump out some stuff that was on my mind! Uploading 9 new ones now!

Here is a way to practice the blues. Be strict about it... You'll see.

藍調音階，需要很重視語法（phrases），也就是怎樣組成個音階才像blues的語彙。

F blues scale: F Ab Bb B C Eb F

練習方法（in F key）：

先打F and C, 製造一個固定低音的聲響(set a pedal)。再開始即興F blues scale。

先記好每個音中間的音程（Intervals），也就是熟記這個音階。

練習方式：

你可以用問與答的方式自己玩即興。

另一個練習方式，每個小節第一拍第一個音敲擊根音。其他二、三、四拍即興。
常見的藍調曲式：四小節F（一級）>兩小節Bb （四級）>兩小節Ｆ（一級）>一小節 C （五級）> 一小節Bb（四級） > 兩小節F（一級）

A little intro into modes.

要聽到大調major和Dorian音階的差別，重點就在，一定要建立在同一個根音上，才聽得出來音階色彩的差別。

I love independence on the vibes. I like making things work that shouldn't work. A bass line is usually something I don't waste time on, however there's a trick here. It's an illusion. Once you set the bass line up you don't have to keep it going. Just come back to it once in a while! The only other thing is that the line has to make sense and also sound good. You can't just work out some stuff and play it. It has to accompany what the improvisation. That means the bass line has to be improvised as well!

Ionian 的結構：比如以C因爲起頭音，一路上行，8個音中間半音全音的關係。全全半全全全半。

你可以用這樣的方式，找到七個調式音階，音根音中間的關係。

然後把這樣半全音的關係，套在不同起頭音（不同調）上面。

Dorian是全半全全全半全。
