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。

Blue Bossa 8/5/08

Here I am practicing Blue Bossa chord solo. Got a little lost in the middle. I still need more practice memorizing the changes.

I wish the sound compression was better on the Web Streaming setting in iMovie, it seems to add tremolo even though there isn't any and adds other artifacts.

I tried my manual tremolo at the end. I think that is such a cool technique.

I Gots the Blues!

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!

Talks about the modes of the Major Scale.

Chinese translation for Chinese students

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。
