Here's Behn's video:

I talk here about starting the chords from a different note. Kind of cool what you get.

TRADUCIDO AL ESPAÑOL PARA ESTUDIANTES

Título: Un pequeño pensamiento añadido al vídeo de Behn. Armonizando la escala disminuida.

En este vídeo hablo acerca de empezar los acordes desde una nota diferente. Es muy chevere lo que obtienes.

Here are some thoughts and ways to begin with rootless voicings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chinese translation for Chinese students.

學會如何演奏出Rootless voicing,
Step1:先找出和弦的 1,3,5,7音
Step2:去掉根音(root)，加進9音。
Step3:去掉5音，加進11, 13音。
如果是屬和絃(Dominant)通常是加入13音。
例如G13，會用9和13音。在一定保留3,7音的情況下，這個Voicing的組成音就是 F,A,B,E.
再例如Cmajor7, 去掉根音加上9音。大部份會再去掉5音，加上升11音(#11等於#4)。會得到Lydian的聲音

Hi Guys this month i'm going to do the second part of my lesson for those of you who wants to practice quartal voicings and applied them in modal jazz.

As usual feel free to contact me through my website: www.giovanniperin.com and to follow me on FB and Youtube!

This lesson is for my student Chien Chien, but you guys can practice it as well!

I just wanted to give her a chorus of chords over the jazz tune Tricotism and then a chorus of a simple solo, outlining the chords. Making a solo in a simple way.

I hear so many students playing all this 'stuff' over a tune and then I ask them to play something very simple and they can't. Chien Chien can. She's an amazing musician with ears we all wish we had. Most of our lesson I just play the chords, I don't have to tell her what chords they are.

Hi All,
Warren Wolf opens the February show with his reverent cover of Bobby Hutcherson's "Montara."
Warren could start a whole new religion with this recording.
Jerry Weir follows with a Cedar Walton tune, then Dana Sudborough and "What About Me?"
Behn appears with the title tune from his recent CD "Dare To Be," then Thomas Mackay with a lovely standard. From Hendrik Meurkens' Mundell's Moods comes Mundell Lowe on guitar. That's just the first half hour!

I gave myself the ultimate challenge this winter break. I said even if for no reason I was going to make a solo cd in my basement. I did and it was difficult, challenging and fun. And difficult and challenging!

I worked really hard, doing a few versions of each tune. It really helped me a lot. Only 1 edit on the whole cd when I screwed up the out head. Awful to come that far and then screw something up!!! :-)

We need another day of mini concerts from our members. Remember what a mini concert is? you play 2 or 3 tunes in a row without stopping as if you're on stage. Audio or video.

Then we pick a day and upload the night before. Then everyone else comes on the site and watches the videos.

In fact if everyone sent me the video, I could make the whole concert in one video. That would be nice, it would feel like an evening of vibes!

You guys interested? Any takers? I'm in for two tunes.

An experienced vibe player plays a lot less roots than an inexperienced one. We know that roots for us do not move the harmony, the upper partials do. I've talked extensively about this on vibes workshop.

Also with a bass player there's no need to play the bass notes right? So work on your rootless voicings.

One thing I've talked about is the following. Play these chords:

Fmaj7
E triad / F
Emin7

That's what the chords look like without the roots. That's a ii V I in the key of C. Play it you'll see.

I tell you ..... after Tony told me. Alterned sticking is the key over up tempos.
Alterned sticking Alterned sticking Alterned sticking Alterned ......
