TOTM - Rhythm Changes - Oleo Exercises Pt. 4 - 1, 6, 2, 5 by Tony Miceli

取出rhythm changes 的一小段,1- 6- 2- 5的和弦進行。
目標就是要把這個和弦進行練好。
先慢慢找到和弦後,重複不斷演奏,
熟悉和弦後,用四分音符來演奏,從慢速到快速。
接著你可以留一些空拍不打,再來你可以試試在兩個四分音符中加入別的音。
就用這幾種方法不斷反覆的練習1- 6- 2- 5的和弦進行。
一開始可能會很慢,不過慢慢找到對的音很重要,聽起來要像是在和弦進行中。
PDF中有Tony寫好的solo,你可以背起來,
或著你可以研究這些音,看看這些音都是在對應的和弦中的哪一個音。
從這樣的練習中,你可以學到很多。

TOTM - Rhythm Changes - Oleo Exercises Pt. 5 - Going to Eb by Tony Miceli

這一集也是從rhythm changes 中拿一小段(第五和第六小節)出來練習。
Bbmajor7 - Bb7 - Ebmajor7 - Ebminor7 (bassline: Bb - Ab - G - Gb)
用這組和弦,速度放慢,即興看看,試著演奏出漂亮的旋律。
練好後,再放到rhythm change中,那兩個小節(第五和第六小節)你就能夠輕易掌握!
如果妳去分析一些當代的樂團,會發現他們的東西也是舊的(一直以來都在被演奏的),也許他們只是用不同的idea或著不同節奏,重新詮釋。

你可以任意速度演奏這組和弦,但是確保你演奏的音都是在音階中。
你也可以用快的速度演奏。
任何一首曲子的任何一小段和弦進行,你都可以拿出來,
單獨練習,變成一個小練習曲!

TOTM - Rhythm Changes - Straight Ahead

Your assignment is to learn this tune. What's cool about it is it's rhythm changes in Ab. The other cool thing are the players. They're monsters.

The melody is simple! maybe 5 notes total! But the rhythms are hard! That is hard to make them swing. So that's your assignment. Play the melody with the metronome, etc.

Forum Topic: Let me introduce myself.

Good evening,

I already said hello in the shoutbox, but how much can you tell in 1 sentence.....

I live in Belgium and studied percussion as a kid. Back then I really loved the sound of the xylophone, so I told myself I would buy one the minute I could afford it.(Which I did when I had a steady job for a while). But in contrast with owning one, I completely neglected it for years. It was only when my wife and I bought a house that I took it up again several years ago. And due to having kids, and renovationworks it was with ups and downs.

Like Someone In Love - vibes-Ed & bass-Mark

I just watched a fantastic version of Tony playing this tune solo. There's also a beautiful version of David and Tony playing duo on this tune. Some players play this tune in C, but here we are in Eb. Bill Evans plays it in D and Ab (half chorus in each key). It's nice do this transposing thing with Wine and Roses ala Bill Evans (F and Ab, half a chorus in each key). This is a fun tune to play on with nice changes. There's a nice solo transcription of Jerry Bergonzi playing this tune that can be found on the web.

Forum Topic: Motor vibrato simulator

Nico at VDP has now released his vibraphone "leslie" style amp. This looks interesting but I already have a good,small amp that I use with a malletkat (and in a few months with a fabulous new VDP gigvibe with pickups).
Does any body have any suggestions about Leslie style stomp boxes that can do a good version of the vibes motor-on sound ?
The Neo Ventilator has come to my attention, though it seems a bit pricey and I have not heard one with vibes. Demos on the web for these sorts of things are predictably by guitarists.
