Here is a part of a lesson by Tony, day 1 of the workshop in Sassenheim.

Tony speaks about "embellishing notes" or "surrounding notes" (after a question from Ben "redders" Redman).

大七和弦四度和聲配置：

以Fmajor7 為例子，和聲配置是從七音開始演奏的E, A, D, G，保持四度的和聲配置。

如果要熟記這個和聲配置，放到12個調裡，熟悉每一個調，

並且放到ii-V-I的和絃進行練習，效果最好。

這個四度的和聲配置也許會有一點點失去明確調性的感覺。所以演奏完後，敲擊一下根音，可以幫助聽清楚和弦性質和調性。

Here's some tips to practicing a faster 7 tempo . Mic gain was high, so a little distorting on some chords toward the end.

This is a really hard etude as I remember. I just stumbled on it.

I decided to do a series of analysis of tunes.

I decided to call this series 'Pimp My Tune', and I think you could definitely call this 'Ghetto Analysis'. I did go to college, but I was interested in playing and learning off the street. What was great about that was I got a lot of interesting perspectives on tunes and harmony, from some great musicians. It was amazing that in school everything was made to seem difficult and on the street everything was made to seem easy. At least that's how I perceived it all.

In 12 keys? PDF is attached. Might be a nice lick to put through the keys and will also give you a quick study in a 4 mallet II V I progression.

I do think when you play something through the keys you do a lot of processing in your brain.

Putting the Scales in the Chords

This is an old lesson, but I think it's good. The audio is down at the bottom of the text.

So think of the scales this way. The chord tones and the notes between the chord tones are the scales. For example:
