Chinese translation for Chinese students

四棒和弦式的Solo方式：

有一個重點是，要照著節奏來，數四分音符，一、二、三、四（一拍一和弦）可以速度隨意，但是要數著拍子。

盡量保持一定的音程（interval）來練習，左手可以待著不動，移動右手比較重要。

很多時候和聲聲響是取決於前面那個和弦，或是後面的和弦。所以要總是小心得處理每個和弦。

等到你練這個越來越好了，你可以發現很多和聲在裡面，有時後你會發現有Voice leading 可以用。

Blue Bossa是一首很好的練習曲來練這個練習。

如果你不斷嘗試把這個練習打的好聽（Musical），你會學到很多，發現很多。

可以只選一組和弦Cmajor - AbMajor7#11- F7 來練這個練習。

Each 251 has it's key signature. From that you should be able to figure out the chords. Remember they are all 251s.

Right in the chords. Study each note and voicing. Understand and write about what is happening with each chord, each progression etc.

Is the voicing rootless? What upper partials are there.

Finally put each one through all the keys. Watch how much you learn about 251s.

Welcome to the new advanced group on Vibesworkshop.com.

We have two members so far. This is for advanced players only. Players who really really are putting time in on the instrument. In order to be in the group you have to do the assignments and submit them and do them perfectly. This is a group that will require hard work.

Anyone in this group that performs at this level will get certain perks.

1. A skype lesson (once in a while) with me
2. Letters of recommendation (from me for now, hopefully from others).

It's sort of a step 1.

(ESP) Bienvenid@ a vibesworkshop.com! Aca una lección muy simple. Cuando pienso en las clases y ejercicios que hacemos de improvisación, pienso que hacemos técnica y muchas otras cosas. Es una gran actividad, y es muy simple. Algunos de mis estudiantes que son nuevos en tocar vibráfono de jazz trabajan sobre esto.
