TOTM - Minority - Line Etude

Another study of upper partials based on the tune Minority. Write the chords in and then study the notes and see what they are.

Check out all the triads in the solo that don't relate to the main triad of the chord.

I.E. the chord is F7 and I play a D maj triad. Get it? It looks like a triad. but it's the 13th the b9 and the 5th of the chord.

Remember: One way to tell how experienced a jazz vibe play is is to listen to how far up the chords they go in the solos. How comfortable are they in making melodies out of the upper partials of the chords.

TOTM - Minority - The 9th Is the 13th (and we take it to the b9

Chinese translation for Chinese students.

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。

另外試著轉到不同的調,然後簡單的solo就好。

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。
