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.

Chord Tone Solo

Here's an etude where we focus on voicings. You fill in the chords so you analyze the piece! then play it!

This is just to give you an idea of a concept and way of playing.

It eventually will let you play lines with two mallets while using your outside left mallet to comp.

這一集我們仍然要講intro，但是並不是要給你新的和聲進行，
而是要給你一個不同的概念，
我們之前講的都是和弦式的打法，但是其實你可以演奏線條性的旋律（lines），
只要非常清楚的讓大家聽到和弦的性質以及色彩，
小技巧是，在快要進入曲子的前一兩個小節，你可以開始演奏一些和弦（voicing），
讓前奏聽起來清楚，讓大家可以知道你演奏到哪裡。
