選兩個小調和弦
Aminor(A,E,C,G) Bminor(B, F#, D, A)
然後去到Cminor(C,G, Eb, Bb)
試著自己找出tony演奏的這一系列和弦。

保持這樣的Voicing（和聲配置），然後只演奏root和3rd

可以自己創造出不同音的組合，創造出一個groove，
保持固定的Voicing（和聲配置），然後只演奏root和3rd
或是
R, 5th, 2nd, 3rd
或
R, 2nd, 3rd,
……….
這個練習可以幫助你練習技巧，協調性, 了解更多和聲配置。

選幾個和弦，play in time, 簡單的小練習，，可以練習很多東西，練習抓到groove and feel。
比如選一系列Fminor的和弦：
Root, 7th, 3rd, 5th 平行上行。
試著維持這樣的音程關係。
F, Eb, Ab, C
G, F, Bb, D
Ab, F, C, Eb
Bb, G, D, F
C, Ab, Eb, F
D, Bb, F, G
……….
可以只loop前四個和弦，然後play a groove in time(選一個節奏型態，定速演奏)，甚至演奏一些簡單的solo, 維持bass音。
＊play a groove in time(選一個節奏型態，定速演奏)時，就算有一點miss掉音，也還是保持節奏感。
也可以只演奏bass音（一路上行），然後solo。

The fellow in this video has created several very effective modifications to get rid of pedal and damper noise on the Musser M55. He goes into a lot of detail. Well worth checking out.

”調式互換“（modal interchange）
寫一首C major的曲子，我們有七個順接和弦（Diatonic Chord）可以用。
而且每個和弦你可以用不同的和聲配置（voicing）達到不同的效果，
像是C5, C, C major7, C major9(13),C major7/E….
現在我們創一組和弦，只用到Ionian中的和弦
I Vi IV major7#11 I major7
C A- F Major7#11 Cmajor7

但是如果想要更多色彩，可以用”調式互換“（modal interchange）或著我們可以說，跟其他的調式借和弦來用（the borrowing of chords from Parallel modes）。
Parallel modes = 不同音階，但是他們用同一個主音。

常常我們在Comping時，會限制在一個和弦只有一種voicing(和聲配置)
但是如果能在一個和弦上找到不同的voicing，並且是有和聲進行（Harmonic motion）的，會讓comping聽起來更豐富。
可以看看PDF檔中，Behn的例子是用藍調(Blues)來說明這個“互換兩個和聲配置”（Alternating two voicing）
熟悉了之後，可以開啟節拍器，按照速度演奏，再自己加上一些節奏感，這會是很好的練習。

"Smile" written by Charlie Chaplin in 1936 for the movie Modern Times. Always loved this song. It's been recorded many times by vocalists and instrumentalists. Here's my twist on this classic. I'm alternating with the I Maj chord (3rd in the bass) and a Dim Maj chord. Also alternating between the keys of F and Ab.

hi, long time ago i posted anything on the site...since gary burton retiered a friend playing piano convinced me to start a duo and keep the music of chick and gary alive...man what a task!

Hi guys!
Recently, I have been working on how to manage the space in sound playing ballads.
playing in duo with a bass player is a great exercise for that.
we recorded an old tune :"The folks how live on the hill" sings usually by Peggy Lee.
Hope you will enjoy.
