Happy New Year to everybody!
GMV (Galician Music for Vibes) is a collection of lessons where I´ll try to show/share part of the traditional galician music adapted to the vibraphone (in order to improof and develope many topics). I´ve been working on it the last 6 months and my purpose is posting a new chapter every month. Through the lessons we´ll can practice melody, harmony, dampening, pedaling, solo vibes, ... I really hope you have fun and that helps you.

這集我們一樣要講如何練習bass line, 和給大家一個小方法。

在演奏solo時，踏板止音要跟隨的是旋律單音，而不是和弦。
因為如果踏板跟隨著和弦去止音，忽略旋律，會導致旋律混在起，所以最終得去用棒子止旋律音，
但是當你在演奏快速的曲子時，那會變成一種阻礙，
也許你會因此而拍子不穩，或是失去feel。

所以這集要講的重點是，練習止音跟隨著bass line，
不管左右手分開演奏，或是左右手共同演奏旋律，
重要的是保持左手演奏四分音符節奏，然後踏板跟隨著左手，要保持乾淨的聲音。
在練習這個時，保持在同一個音域容易些，因為你得不間斷的演奏那個固定的bass line,
試著用到不同的棒子，創造有趣的melody，想出一些有趣的樂句，發展個樂句。
重點是不間斷的演奏固定的bass line。
