Life's Blessings - steve yeager's take

steve yeager 15 March 2009

Here’s my take on ed’s tune “lifes blessing”
In my mind this piece has so many beautiful sections I really ended up mixing up sections to give me what I was going for – which was more of a “church” feeling – looping for example a line cliche idea that turns around using the C/G – D/F# cadence of mm14-15 for a solo/vamp section.
I also liked extending and looping mm 26 – 27 idea to give the ends more push, throwing a Ab maj7#11 substitute for the A-/G on the last times.

Open and Closed Voicings - Audio

tonymiceli 15 March 2009

Here's a very important exercise to help with chord voicings. Don't skimp on this one. Spend months on this!!

Chienese translation for Chinese Students

開離密集和弦練習(open and closed voicing)

好處：幫助你暢通無阻的演奏各種不同轉位的和聲配置(voicing)
因為練習那些位置上，姿勢上比較高難度的和弦，也能幫助你提升技巧。
如果你覺得在演奏某些和弦姿勢很彆扭，那可能是沒有調整好，要練習調整出更適當的演奏姿勢。

(打開PDF)
以Fmajor7為例：(PDF裡面都有詳細寫出音)

原位F,A,C,E. 然後只把A這個音移到高八度，得到F,C,E,A和弦。
第一轉位A,C,E,F, 然後只把C這個音移到高八度，得到A,E,F,C和弦。
速度要慢慢開始，重點是節拍器開起來，照著節奏打(play in time)。
