Hey everyone,

Here's a bonus for our 7 weeks of bebop, Blues For Alice. I thought this would be a good one because of the different changes. Good luck!

I THINK I SAY DAMPEN I MEAN PEDAL!!!!!!!!
中文翻譯:
CYDT 是Can You Do This 縮寫，
這個系列都會有一些小小的有趣練習可以挑戰。

這集來說說踏板止音，
我們來試試，左手演奏四分音符（影片中Tony以C大調為例，左手演奏G C）
右手來演奏旋律，並專注在旋律上，目的是以思考旋律為基礎，來使用踏板止音，
演奏出乾淨的旋律線條。

你可以觀察看看，在做這個練習的時候，是不是自然而然的多以左手的和聲來思考，
運用踏板，如果是的話，先以慢速開始，大腦會慢慢知道我們的目的是要聽到乾淨的旋律線條，
多做幾次這個練習後，就可以自然而然的達到這個目的囉！

The toolkit are all the things I think you need to know to play a tune.

When I think about it. These are things any good pro can do. So if you can't do it, think about that. Get these skills together and you move a little closer to some great player, to whom all this is second nature.

You need to know how to transcribe other peoples solos. Here is a simple solo for you to transcribe.

• Transcribe it. Memorize it, maybe don't write it down.
• Play it with Ireal in different keys
• Play the chords and the solo even if rubato

I'll give a free 1 hour Skype lesson to the first person who posts a video of them playing this etude.

Great version by my student. He's mainly a drummer but doing great on vibes. He takes nice solos and knows quite a bit about harmony.
