TOTM - Green Dolphin Melody

This is being translated for Chinese students.

歡迎來到vibesworshop.com,這是“每月一曲”時間,這個月我們要學 Green Dolphin Street和You Don't Know What Love Is。此時,我們已經練習這兩首曲子很久了,甚至已經超過一個月,我要問的是,你知道這兩首曲子的弦律嗎?最近我告訴我很多學生,如果你可以走到樂器前面然後就(演奏出 Green Dolphin Street美妙旋律)如果你沒辦法演奏這個曲子的旋律,你就是不懂這首曲子。對我來說這是第一步:你能夠演奏出旋律嗎?所以考慮到這點,當你每次在練習“每月一曲”時,你要確定,你能夠演奏出曲子的旋律。然後,我說過這件事五百次,你在演奏旋律的同時,要把旋律處理得非常乾淨並且在拍子上,這樣也能順便增進你的技巧。不要覺得你學習這個旋律沒有用,你要想的是,你有沒有把這個東西(弦律)處理好?如果你把旋律處理好,等於你學到了很大部分的東西。

Chords & Harmony Fest - Bye Bye

Ok, let's close this up. There are a lot of lessons now about chords and harmony. For those of you who studied I'm sure you learned a ton.

So now demonstrate it. Work on a tune for a couple days and post something. Play chord melody, play solo, whatever but put it to good use and apply it while it's fresh.

Let's move on to the other side of all this and that's the line.

Post your 'final' here!

Chien Chien's Lesson - Feb 1 2017

This lesson is for my student Chien Chien, but you guys can practice it as well!

I just wanted to give her a chorus of chords over the jazz tune Tricotism and then a chorus of a simple solo, outlining the chords. Making a solo in a simple way.

I hear so many students playing all this 'stuff' over a tune and then I ask them to play something very simple and they can't. Chien Chien can. She's an amazing musician with ears we all wish we had. Most of our lesson I just play the chords, I don't have to tell her what chords they are.

找適當的音階對應和弦(Putting the Scales in the Chords)

找適當的音階對應和弦 Putting the Scales in the Chords

你可以用這個方式想想:和弦音、和弦音以外的音,這兩種因素組成了音階。
*以下譜例:和弦音(圖一)、和弦音以外的音(圖二)、把這兩個放在一起得到Dorian音階。
