學敘事曲（Ballad）的第一件事，是學會弦律（Melody）

如果只打旋律，你聽不到聲音（心中沒有曲子的聲音），你就要去聽這首曲子聽CD。

重點是”演奏旋律”，然後心中想像著和聲進行的聲響。


一定要先去聽這首曲子，確定你記得了旋律，知道和聲聲響。再來到樂器前面演奏。

你也可以左手演奏Bass，幫助自己聽到曲子的和聲進行。

講到intro，其實有千千萬萬種不同的方式，除了之前介紹到的降五音intro，
這邊又多了另一種intro的idea。
我們可以稱這個intro為I - IV。
因為是不斷反覆在一級和四級和弦中，並且導入到第一個和弦的方式。

在PDF中的第一個intro就是單傳的反覆在一級大和弦（Major chord）和四級大和弦中，
最後接到ii - V - I。

第二個intro是反覆在一級Major chord和五級sus4中，最後也是接到ii - V - I。
