I THINK I SAY DAMPEN I MEAN PEDAL!!!!!!!!
中文翻譯:
CYDT 是Can You Do This 縮寫，
這個系列都會有一些小小的有趣練習可以挑戰。

這集來說說踏板止音，
我們來試試，左手演奏四分音符（影片中Tony以C大調為例，左手演奏G C）
右手來演奏旋律，並專注在旋律上，目的是以思考旋律為基礎，來使用踏板止音，
演奏出乾淨的旋律線條。

你可以觀察看看，在做這個練習的時候，是不是自然而然的多以左手的和聲來思考，
運用踏板，如果是的話，先以慢速開始，大腦會慢慢知道我們的目的是要聽到乾淨的旋律線條，
多做幾次這個練習後，就可以自然而然的達到這個目的囉！

Great version by my student. He's mainly a drummer but doing great on vibes. He takes nice solos and knows quite a bit about harmony.

Just did this for a student.

MEMORIZE IT!

feel free to fix any 'wrong' notes.

Fast tempos are hard, slow tempos are hard. I think tempos are hard period.

I spend so much time playing and recording and checking the feel and the tempo. Sometimes it's 3 hours later and I'm on the same tune looking for a take that I think is acceptable. Where the time seems to be ok.

I love playing by myself and trying to make a piece of music. Check out Peter Bernstein's solo guitar album. Well and check out my solo vibes album. Both are on Itunes. I think for some musicians it's really something to work towards; playing alone and playing well. And playing time.
