GMV-Chapter 2 (part 2) "Alborada"
"Alborada” is a traditional galician rhythym in 2/4, which was born in the ancient celtic culture during sacred sun rituals. In the recenlty tradition it is known because it used to be played by bagpipes players at the door of every house at the beginning of the morning.

歡迎來到www.vibesworkshop.com，我們正在討論我們的每月一曲Green Dolphin Street，我們之前講的是在曲子的前半部，都是關於調式音階（Modal），第二部分，是很好的和弦二級接五級（II-V）的練習。主要也是因為和聲以小三度轉調進行（minor thirds）。第一部分的過門段（bridge）的和聲進行為（～Music~）Dm-G7-Cmaj7，然後Fm7（此為Cmaj7的上四度）-Bb7-Ebmaj7，然後回去C調。只要試這個部分，你可以循環演奏它（loop it）...Ya！只要試這個部分，然後這幾個和絃走完就好，不要走下去。把小部份東西循環演奏一直是個很好的練習方式，你再練的時候應該，開始，停下，開始，停下，這樣子你會真正學習曲子的每個部份。

Day 2: The same rhythm is being used here, but the top note is being moved around. While moving the top around changes the harmony, it also gives the illusion of something different happening rhythmically.

Dan here's the etude I promised you.

It would be great if you recorded a version for the site.

Everyone else, maybe we should do this as our next TOTM. It's a GREAT tune.

Write the chords in. Learn the tune. Check out the etude. Check out the bass line. If you have a synth play the bass line on the synth. Do you understand it? See the notes, the upper partials I stick in because of the melody of the bass line?

Day 2: You will notice that the voicings are the exact same as day 1, but the major difference here is the dampening. Rather than attacking each new chord, dampen the one note that changes. This will create a nice, legato transition between chords. Observe all dampening and pedal marks.
