Chinese translation is for Chinese students 打開PDF你會看到兩種不同的intro方式。 第一種，是適合用在快的曲子之前。 有一個固定低音，然後上面是五級三和弦和弦循著半音下行， 第二種適合用在中版速度的Rhythm Changes 是一個非常像1 - 6 - 2 - 5的聲響，但是用了很多tritone sub， 像是Db和弦代替了原本1 - 6 - 2 - 5中的G7b9 像是Ｂ和弦代替了原本1 - 6 - 2 -…

Ideas for Intros Pt. 3 by Behn Gillece

chinese translation is for Chinese students 講到intro，其實有千千萬萬種不同的方式，除了之前介紹到的降五音intro， 這邊又多了另一種intro的idea。 我們可以稱這個intro為I - IV。 因為是不斷反覆在一級和四級和弦中，並且導入到第一個和弦的方式。 在PDF中的第一個intro就是單傳的反覆在一級大和弦（Major chord）和四級大和弦中， 最後接到ii - V - I。…

8MAD - Voice Leading - Day 5
behng
Content type: Blog entry
Day 5: We've combined the top note passing tones with the inner voice passing tones. It's a little tricky to complete all this dampening in tempo, so be sure to pick a nice, relaxed pace to work at!

8MAD - Voice Leading - Day 4

Content type: Blog entry
Day 4: Rather than having the top notes of the chords as the passing tones, we've changed the passing tones to inner voicings. These passing tones have the b9, which creates a different tension.

8MAD - Voice Leading - Day 3

Content type: Blog entry
Day 3: There are additional passing tones in m2, 4, and 6. M2 and 4 have b13 passing tones. This adds some tension to the voicings. As in the other lessons, dampen and create legato transitions between the notes.

Day 2: You will notice that the voicings are the exact same as day 1, but the major difference here is the dampening. Rather than attacking each new chord, dampen the one note that changes. This will create a nice, legato transition…

behng
Content type: Blog entry
For this week of 8MAD, we'll be looking at voice leading. I like to think of comping more in terms of voice leading. Rather than just thinking about 4 note voicings, it's also good to think about where each note wants to go. For day 1,…

Content type: Blog entry
Turnaround lines are very important in jazz because we see progressions all the time like 2-5-3-6, 1-6-2-5 etc. The more vocabulary you learn over turnarounds, the better! Turnarounds aren't just at the ends of forms, but can be anywhere…
