8WOBallads - Blue In Green - The Harmony Pt. 3

Chinese translation is for Chinese students

現在學一組和絃進行:
第一個和弦,先演奏隨便一個根音的Minor7 和弦,
接下來的這個和弦是,往上移全音之後的altered 和弦(屬和絃降13音)
再來當然皆接在屬和絃後的和弦,最常見到的和聲進行就是接回主和弦。

所以和弦如下:
Gminor7- A7b13- Dminor7

這是blue in green 中,其中一小段的和弦進行,
把曲子分成一小部分一小部分,每一個小部份轉到不同調裡面,練好之後,會幫助很大!

練好這個之後,整首曲子的和聲進行你都練到了。

Desert Air by Chick Corea - Solo Vibes

Had a little time today between classes and ran through Chick's composition "Desert Air". Chick and Gary recorded a brilliant version on their debut recording "Crystal Silence", one of my favorite recordings. I remember seeing Gary play this solo during the 70s at a club in Boston called The Jazz Workshop. It was spectacular. This is a great but tough tune with odd bar phrasing and unusual chord progressions and modulations.

8WOBallads - Blue In Green - The Melody

Chinese translation for Chinese students

學敘事曲(Ballad)的第一件事,是學會弦律(Melody)

如果只打旋律,你聽不到聲音(心中沒有曲子的聲音),你就要去聽這首曲子聽CD。

重點是”演奏旋律”,然後心中想像著和聲進行的聲響。


一定要先去聽這首曲子,確定你記得了旋律,知道和聲聲響。再來到樂器前面演奏。

你也可以左手演奏Bass,幫助自己聽到曲子的和聲進行。
