Etude of the Month Applied (may take more than a minute...)

Drew Johnson 17 July 2012

just a quick application comment...

this line is quartal vocabulary (or fourthy vocabulary hahaha).

it's a quartal chord just in an inversion. If you made C# the bottom note voiced... C#, F#, B, E you would have stacked 4ths.

where to play this? Well it could be...

Emaj giving you scale degrees 13-9-5-1
Amaj (3-13-9-5)
Dmaj (7-3-13-9)
C#minor (1, 11, 7, 3)
F#minor (5-1-11-7)
Bminor (9-5-1-11)
E7 (13-9-5-1)
Bb7alt (#9-b13-b9-#11)

I'm sure I left a few out. But do you guys see how it fits into all of those chords?

Pentatonic improv on Green Dolphin Street -V

ed saindon 22 March 2015

Here's a clip on improvising with Pentatonic scales for the standard Green Dolphin Street. There is a post on the All Things Improvisation blog that includes this videoclip as well as a page listing the pentatonic scales being applied. Vibist Volker Heuken from Nuremberg, Germany did an excellent job transcribing the solo.

8WO Ballads

tonymiceli 25 October 2016

當我們在演奏敘事曲（Ballad）時，練習主弦律都要使用到外棒（右手外側）。

因為其他棒子都要伴奏。


如果不是Ballad的曲子，不要只用外側棒，因為會容易失去節奏感(rhythmic feel)。
