今天我們要講的是minority
自己創造出ii-v-i 小樂句（lick），是一個裡面有V dominent 13音的lick,
定下速度打，你可以從中學到很多，你也會記住minor9音, dominent 13音的聲音
改節奏、加上一些音，轉調（放到每個調裡面練練）
Rootless13b9和弦（沒有根音的屬和絃，加上9音和13音）
例如F713b9: 組成音為A(3音), D(13音), Eb(7音), F#(b9音)
認真練習ii-V-I，讓你的耳朵熟悉這些聲音。
As many of you know, I use tunes not only to have fun playing over but also to learn about harmony, work on chops and time. Why not, as improvisers we can make up an etude on the spot. And as you get better as an improviser you can make more complex etudes up.
Minority is a tune with tunnel vision. It's the study of one note and meaning depending on what is surrounding it. The 9th and the 13th. In a 2 5 they kind of blend together. And Minority is a great example of this.
This is Michel Petrucciani playing the most beautiful version of "In A Sentimental Mood" I've ever heard. I decided to share it here because Tony recently requested ideas for solo playing and I forgot to mention this one.
Hey Vibes Workshop,
My name is Steve Roehm. I'm a vibraphonist from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
2017 is the year for some new habits for me. So here is my first foray in
posting a video on VWS. This is a tune of mine called "Just Kicking Around".
I've attached a PDF with the sheet music. I hope you enjoy it.

Tony 演奏整首曲子。
如果你不知道旋律，
先學會旋律再來看這支影片。
唯一的Altered chord 在最後一個小節C7alt（C,Ab, E, C）。
2分38秒，Tony 演奏 C key.
轉到不同的調上，可以只打bass你也能聽到整首曲子的全貌，
另外試著轉到不同的調，然後簡單的solo就好。

把我們上一堂課教的 I minor9 - ii minor9 - V dominant13b9，
這堂課要加上旋律。
旋律都是在最高音聲部，
例如G調：
Gminor9 (旋律是Gmajor音階)- Aminor9 -D13b9 - Gminor9 (旋律是五聲音階)
*把這些東西練好之後，可以再延伸練很多東西，你可以只把一小部分的和聲進行拿出來，做成練習曲練習。
*Tony 演奏：
57秒, G key
1分16秒, F key
I ran across the paper paper attached (2002) about Milt Jackson a couple days ago. It has some great examples of Milt's playing written out, as well as some dialog regarding his approach to soloing, and his musical career.
Is this already up on the site? Let me know if it is.

Tony把這首曲子分成三個部分，這裡我們會學到第一部分。
（先不要去看Leadsheet，直接練練看以下的和聲進行）
以下是這首曲子和聲進行：
Cminor9 - Dminor9 - G13b9 (F Ab B E)
常常見到的和聲進行是
Cminor9 - Dminor9b5 - G13b9
但是這首曲子比較特別，是接到2級minor9，而不是minor9b5 。
*放到不同調裡面練習
*5級和弦用到的是rootless 13 和弦，沒有根音(root)沒有五音(5th)。
*學會這個和聲進行你就已經掌握百分之30的曲子了。
