TOTM - Rhythm Changes - Oleo Exercises Pt. 3 - The Bridge by Tony Miceli
tonymiceli
Content type: Audio Player
這邊我們要講到rhythm changes的bridge。 在練習bridge時，不要loop it(反覆連接不斷的打) 而是要打完這八小節回到home key, 停下來，然後再打一次。 試著轉到不同的調，然後連接所有屬和弦的tritone，也就是他們的三音和七音。 一遍又遍的演奏，從簡單的chord outline（和弦音）開始即興，接著試著演奏比較忙的句子， 這個練習會真的幫助到你的屬和弦即興的技巧， 因為平常我們演奏ii- v- i習慣了，常常看到屬和弦，…

I added a pdf with some 2 5 1 examples using the altered scale. Remember this is to get the concept down, then move to different scales, different chords, then to rhythm changes and then to other tunes.

Here a live recording of a gig I played yesterday, using a play-along I do by myself (bass and guitar + rythm box). Far from perfect, but on this one I was able to use some dampening in my solo, little victory for me !

TOTM - Rhythm Changes - Oleo Exercises Pt. 1 by Tony Miceli
tonymiceli
Content type: Audio Player
今天要講的是oleo 首先第一個步驟就是要練好head（主旋律） 看似很簡單，但是其實蠻困難。 要不失去swing，並且對到節拍器，其實不容易。 這也可以是個很好的對節拍器warm up的小練習。 你的任務就是要開啟節拍器，試著練習好幾個星期，用不同的速度（tempo）練。 像是很快的速度其實難度很高，但是這個練習會對你很有幫助。

這一集也是從rhythm changes 中拿一小段（第五和第六小節）出來練習。 Bbmajor7 - Bb7 - Ebmajor7 - Ebminor7 （bassline: Bb - Ab - G - Gb） 用這組和弦，速度放慢，即興看看，試著演奏出漂亮的旋律。 練好後，再放到rhythm change中，那兩個小節（第五和第六小節）你就能夠輕易掌握！ 如果妳去分析一些當代的樂團，會發現他們的東西也是舊的（一直以來都在被演奏的），…
