How do you teach experience? (Quick thoughts)

I'm thinking about teaching people and thinking about what I teach them and explaining things to them.

It hit me, that you can't teach experience and that's the thing that's most important of all. Experience is being on the gig, playing with others. Experience is making mistakes in front of people. Making bad decisions and good decisions.

That's the most difficult thing when I think about this. When I tell students to get out and play and they don't, but they say they want to be good players, I don't know what to do.

LBGLW-1 Part 2 (A Little Bit Goes A Long Way) 2 Chords

Here is part one: http://bit.ly/lbglw1-part1

Chinese Translation for Chinese students
選幾個和弦,play in time, 簡單的小練習,,可以練習很多東西,練習抓到groove and feel。
比如選一系列Fminor的和弦:
Root, 7th, 3rd, 5th 平行上行。
試著維持這樣的音程關係。
F, Eb, Ab, C
G, F, Bb, D
Ab, F, C, Eb
Bb, G, D, F
C, Ab, Eb, F
D, Bb, F, G
……….
可以只loop前四個和弦,然後play a groove in time(選一個節奏型態,定速演奏),甚至演奏一些簡單的solo, 維持bass音。
*play a groove in time(選一個節奏型態,定速演奏)時,就算有一點miss掉音,也還是保持節奏感。
也可以只演奏bass音(一路上行),然後solo。

Monty Stark (Who knows about Monty Stark?)

John Keene sent me a recording of Monty Stark and John Abercrombie I posted it.

Here's an interview I found. I like this guy, didn't know anything about him. He seems cool, John Keene says he was.

Check out this interview of him:

Here's part 2: http://bit.ly/lbglw1-part2

Chinese translation for Chinese students
任何兩個小調和弦。比如A minor, B minor
可以打開節拍器,自創一些loop,這樣可以練習你的time(節奏感)。
找不同的Voicing,play in time。
練習“time”、”旋律”、“voicing”、“3,7音”、”Groove”
你可以從這個簡單的小練習,
學到很多。
