Some ideas for dampening while sustaining.

Here's pt. 1 of a three part lesson on turnarounds. There are so many, so I tried to stick to the critical, and most practical ones. Enjoy!

這邊我們要講到rhythm changes的bridge。
在練習bridge時，不要loop it(反覆連接不斷的打)
而是要打完這八小節回到home key, 停下來，然後再打一次。
試著轉到不同的調，然後連接所有屬和弦的tritone，也就是他們的三音和七音。
一遍又遍的演奏，從簡單的chord outline（和弦音）開始即興，接著試著演奏比較忙的句子，
這個練習會真的幫助到你的屬和弦即興的技巧，
因為平常我們演奏ii- v- i習慣了，常常看到屬和弦，就會演奏altered聲響。但是藉由這個練習，
你可以真正的練習到屬和弦聲響。

Here is a little piece of music(see attachment) from a theater show I'm doing n Januari. This is a short introuction to the third part of the show. I thought this would be a good exercise for sticking.

Are you sick of rhythm changes yet? Here's some relief if you are!

Chinese translation for Chinese students
任何兩個小調和弦。比如A minor, B minor
可以打開節拍器，自創一些loop，這樣可以練習你的time（節奏感）。
找不同的Voicing，play in time。
練習“time”、”旋律”、“voicing”、“3,7音”、”Groove”
你可以從這個簡單的小練習，
學到很多。
