At home today on a semester break working on this classic standard composed by Victor Young in 1931. Such a hip tune for that time period.

Chinese translation for Chinese students 伴奏comping的方式: 不是只能用轉位的方式,而是可以用音階是的方式, 這裡有一個練習方式:
 左手:Root+5音,2音+3音 右手:solo 當你練越多時,會發現越多東西。 例如看到A, C, D,時,你可以放入F,聽起來可以是Cmajor 聲響。 演奏時嘗試演奏的好聽(musical),你會學到更多。
 (Tony示範演奏Eb) 重要的是,在練琴的時候,訓練耳朵是重要的,…

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。

Chinese Translation for Chinese students C13b9 的和聲配置(voicing) 你可以把7音放最底下(Bb),再來3音(E),然後是b9(Db)和13(A)音。 來談談這個13音(A),在聽覺上你可能下一個和弦要接到Fmajor7 的錯覺。因為natrual A是FMajor的三音。 所以當我們在演奏ii-V-I的和聲進行中,會在演奏五級(V)時開始累積Major的聲響,因為五級(V)運用Dominant13b9。…

Chinese translation for Chinese students 四棒技巧,上一支影片我們講到演奏四分音符運用到四支棒子,這裏我們可以討論更多。
 以Blues為例子(你可以用任何一首曲子來練習),一開始速度慢,確定都用到四棒。 這個概念很簡單,但是要花時間練習。

We are start playing solo don't we :-). We spend a lot of time playing by ourselves! Esp when we begin. Check out Jonathan Kreisberg's video on his solo cd (which I can't find on iTunes :-( ) Philosophically it's very interesting!
