Work hard on the modes. They are the foundation of the line!!
Locrian the crazy scale! The 7th scale degree of the major scale.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chinese translation for Chinese students
如果拿Locrian 音階和大調（major）音階來比較，Locrian音階多了降2降3降5降6降7音。
因為沒有完全五度（根音跟五音中間），所以聲響上沒有被解決的感覺。
單單只打這個音階覺得沒有被解決，所以通常用在minor7b5- dominant7b9,
例如Cminor7b5- Fdominant7b9 - Bbminor7
Locrian 是比較難的音階，可以練習在不同調式之間轉換，熟悉不同調式音階的聲音。
Aolian the 6th scale degree of the major scale.
Chinese translation for Chinese students.
Aeolian是大調音階降3,降6,降7
在爵士樂中，比Phrygian多，比Dorian用的少。
Aeolian和Dorian的不同是Dorian沒有降6音, Phrygian多了降2音,
A quick note.
I love how something can start a train of thought. That's why to me communities are so important. And I love this vibe community.
Sounds like with Joe's exercise that there's a serious study in moving intervals in a parallel way. Next moving different intervals in parallel ways. Next moving things in parallel scale ways. Next moving things in approximate parallel ways making concessions for harmony.

btw- Larry is coming from a recording session so if for some reason he's late I'll post the change in times here.

Understanding Tritone Substitutions
by John Mark Piper
To understand the basics of tritone substitutions and how they typically function is an important aspect of music. Having good command of them can help a musician's reading, hearing, performing and memorizing music.
Joe takes a strange progression and resolved it because of the melody!
How about as an exercise, one of the subscribers transcribe the progression!
The phrygian scale is pretty cool because it has a minor 2nd between the root and the second scale degree. That gives it a very exotic sound!

如果拿Phrygian 音階和大調（major）音階來比較，Phrygian音階多了降2降3降6降7音。
在第一個音和第二個音中間是個半音，也因為這樣聽起來非常特別。
這個C為開頭音的Phrygian順階和弦，第一個和弦為Cminor 第二個和弦為Dbmajor
你可以聽到這樣的聲響在很多中東音樂、猶太音樂中等。
演奏大調音階跟Phrygian音階，比較看看。
通常在小調中會用到Phrygian，但是跟Dorian, Aeolian比，Phrygian最少用到。
Here is a transcription from Joe's video 'Intros Part 2'.
