Some ideas on what to think about when comping underneath the melody.

Here's my arrangement or etude on Chega. Of course inspired by Gary Burton's untouchable version! None the less I thought inspired by his version it might be fun for us to give it a shot.

Pedaling? If it troubles anyone I can think about it but I more less just fluttered the pedal on every beat except for the obvious places.

Terry emailed me and ask me to post this comment he has:

Hi Tony,
Once again I got a thought and don't know how to post it so I will do it through you. I was looking at the video of the subject "Using bebop Dominant over suspended chords"

Here's all the lessons and performances of Ed Saindon's tune 'Life's Blessings.

We spent the month of March studying Ed's tune and we had a blast. Check out all the comments. There's a lot of valuable information here.

Locrian the crazy scale! The 7th scale degree of the major scale.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Chinese translation for Chinese students

如果拿Locrian 音階和大調（major）音階來比較，Locrian音階多了降2降3降5降6降7音。

因為沒有完全五度（根音跟五音中間），所以聲響上沒有被解決的感覺。

單單只打這個音階覺得沒有被解決，所以通常用在minor7b5- dominant7b9,

例如Cminor7b5- Fdominant7b9 - Bbminor7

Locrian 是比較難的音階，可以練習在不同調式之間轉換，熟悉不同調式音階的聲音。
