Here's my review of the many things we discussed with the blues.
We got a who is. Why not a 'Why Is It....' Series.
Things that are difficult and unexplainable... sort of.
At least from the perspective of the person posting.
My first 'Why Is It...' is:
Why is it so hard to play four mallets on a swing tune where the melody is in the upper octave.
I've been playing 'Long Ago and Far Away' for a while now. I'm in G and trying to voice nice chords underneath the melody which I'm playing in the upper octave.
ALSO the frickin melody starts on the root. That makes it ever tougher to voice.
There's the first why is!!!
A quick note.
I love how something can start a train of thought. That's why to me communities are so important. And I love this vibe community.
Sounds like with Joe's exercise that there's a serious study in moving intervals in a parallel way. Next moving different intervals in parallel ways. Next moving things in parallel scale ways. Next moving things in approximate parallel ways making concessions for harmony.
Definitely worthy of the chops festival. This is a very hard etude I wrote and worked on. I couldn't play it now, but here's the video where I once upon a time played it.
I get to play with David Friedman
YOU
Add the chords in. Study the voicings and then play the etude.
Then play it in another key and then another key. You will learn all about harmony doing it this way!

當Tony post這種資源時，就是最好自己學習的時候，看你可以從這短短的幾小節，學到什麼東西。
PDF中任何一個和聲配置（Voicing）你都可以轉到不同的12個調中。
比如說第一個和弦，是Bb7#11，你把它依照循環四度，轉到12個調裏，分別是Bb→Eb→Ab→Db→Gb→B→E→A→D→G→C→F→Bb
看你能不能打出每一個調的major7#11和弦，就是這樣練。
然後節拍器開著，看能不能不掉拍子跟著速度，打出12個調的major7#11和弦。
光是這樣這個PDF中就有學不完練不完的東西，加油：）

Here's one chorus of Minority. Your job is to memorize the changes and then you comp and add the rhythms. |
