”調式互換“（modal interchange）
寫一首C major的曲子，我們有七個順接和弦（Diatonic Chord）可以用。
而且每個和弦你可以用不同的和聲配置（voicing）達到不同的效果，
像是C5, C, C major7, C major9(13),C major7/E….
現在我們創一組和弦，只用到Ionian中的和弦
I Vi IV major7#11 I major7
C A- F Major7#11 Cmajor7

但是如果想要更多色彩，可以用”調式互換“（modal interchange）或著我們可以說，跟其他的調式借和弦來用（the borrowing of chords from Parallel modes）。
Parallel modes = 不同音階，但是他們用同一個主音。

The tune is attached. The question is, can you put a tag on a tune?

Chinese Translation for Chinese students
選幾個和弦，play in time, 簡單的小練習，，可以練習很多東西，練習抓到groove and feel。
比如選一系列Fminor的和弦：
Root, 7th, 3rd, 5th 平行上行。
試著維持這樣的音程關係。
F, Eb, Ab, C
G, F, Bb, D
Ab, F, C, Eb
Bb, G, D, F
C, Ab, Eb, F
D, Bb, F, G
……….
可以只loop前四個和弦，然後play a groove in time(選一個節奏型態，定速演奏)，甚至演奏一些簡單的solo, 維持bass音。
＊play a groove in time(選一個節奏型態，定速演奏)時，就算有一點miss掉音，也還是保持節奏感。
也可以只演奏bass音（一路上行），然後solo。

Here's another version of Besame Mucho that I had recorded a few weeks ago.

My philosophy is kind of simple. You get better by making things sound good. By playing things well. If you're learning a melody and really trying to play it well, you're getting better. If you're transcribing a solo and making it sound as good as you can, you're getting better. If you're working on a tune and working out a solo, figuring out how to get through the changes, you are getting better.
