Here's a very important exercise to help with chord voicings. Don't skimp on this one. Spend months on this!!

Chienese translation for Chinese Students

開離密集和弦練習(open and closed voicing)

好處：幫助你暢通無阻的演奏各種不同轉位的和聲配置(voicing)
因為練習那些位置上，姿勢上比較高難度的和弦，也能幫助你提升技巧。
如果你覺得在演奏某些和弦姿勢很彆扭，那可能是沒有調整好，要練習調整出更適當的演奏姿勢。

以Fmajor7為例：(PDF裡面都有詳細寫出音)

原位F,A,C,E. 然後只把A這個音移到高八度，得到F,C,E,A和弦。
第一轉位A,C,E,F, 然後只把C這個音移到高八度，得到A,E,F,C和弦。
速度要慢慢開始，重點是節拍器開起來，照著節奏打(play in time)。

So who is Marie-Noelle ?

Here is my attempt at making "Spring Is Here" a waltz. It is originally written in 4/4 but there were parts in it, especially the end, where it sounded to me like it could be a waltz. It reminded me of "Waltz for Debby" by Bill Evans.

It needs a lot of technical work, but I wanted to get some feedback on my approach.

Thanks,

I was listening to the tune Baladhi. When the guitar takes a solo Rudresh accompanies him. It was really cool. I learn alot from things like that. Because I think sometimes, ok that's my left hand and i can see how simply i can accompany myself.

I want everything as simple as i can get it. I don't always do that, but that's what's in my head.

If you haven't checked out Rudresh, you should take a moment. It's pretty crazy and very interesting music with an Indian influence. Deep sh*&.

Hi

Just thought I'd share an arrangement I did for a college percussion major student last year.

Its Piazolla's Libertango which many vibes workshop members have expressed a liking of his music so I thought I'd share this.

Its for 5 octave marimba and vibes. Please let me know what you think on davekemp@tpg.com.au

Cheers,

Who is Tjaco?

Ok here I go:

First of all, the drummer in me was very early and I was hitting a tambourine along with musicians in my house when I was only 3 years old. My mother and Father where both musicians. My mother still sings, but my father hasn't played guitar or sung in a long time.
