Warm-up On the day of the audition, I arrived at the place about 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled warm-up time. As I walked in, a bearded guy holding a Fender guitar sitting at the entrance stood up and warmly greeted me, asking if I was here for the audition. I confirmed, and he found my name on the sign-in sheet and checked it off. He asked me a few basic questions, like "Is this your first audition?" After a brief chat, he showed me where to put my things and said I could rest there until he took me to warm up. I sat on the sofa in the lobby downstairs and practiced for about 10 minutes with what I had brought. Then he stood up and said, "Let's go! I'll take you to warm up." He helped me carry my equipment and examined my bass guitar before saying, "This is a really nice one." We walked to the practice room on the second floor, where we had 15 minutes to warm up. During this time, I practiced the sight reading content that I would be te...

小調順階和弦 介紹小調的順階和弦時，我們必須用兩種不同的觀點切入，一種是台灣流行音樂界比較常用的大調的關係和弦描述小調，一種是美國Berklee的小調中心系統，但不變的是，小調的音跟音的距離是固定的，也就是 全 半 全 全 半 全 全 以下介紹這兩種不同的觀點  關係大調觀點 ：即小調是關係大調從六級開始的和弦，用數字和弦表示法是這樣 6m7 7m7-5 1maj7 2m7 3m7 4maj7 57 這個觀點的好處是，當你在抓歌的時候會比較直觀，畢竟大調思維是最簡單最直接的想法，當你聽到有一首歌是從6m開始或結束，你就可以知道他大概是小調的歌。 小調中心觀點 ：這個方法是將小調的第一個和弦視為一級，在Berklee常用羅法數字代替阿拉伯數字 Im7 IIm7-5 bIIImaj7 IVm7 Vm7 bVImaj7 bVII7 可以看到因為這個系統出現了bIII、bIV、bVII，這是因為必須符合小調全半全全半全全距離的關係，而這樣子的觀點好處是，能夠更清楚調式借用的來源 例：陶喆的普通朋友一開始第二個和弦就是用了IVm，就是借用了小調的四級和弦。 bIII、bVI、bVII也都是很常出現的和弦，就是引用自自然小調。 另外，我們可以在許多的歌曲中發現，他們在彈V級時（大調觀點是3），常常是彈V7(37)而不是Vm7(3m7)，為什麼呢？因為V7提供一個更強的拉力，拉回調性的中心Im7(6m7)，所以很常出現在歌曲之中，製造更緊張的張力，有關於小調V7的來源，就要介紹另外兩種小調和聲小調跟旋律小調了 在一般的情況下，大調觀點就可以處理大部分的歌曲，不管是抓歌、即興等等，小調中心觀點比較像是用來分析歌曲的進行。 by < Daniel Chen > -  Guitar  Teacher of Fusian Music - Graduated from Berklee College of Music - See more in  Fusian Music Website

  Minor Key Chords When introducing the chords of the minor key, we must approach it from two different perspectives. One is the use of the major key chord relationship commonly used in the Taiwanese pop music industry to describe the minor key, and the other is the minor key center system used by Berklee in the United States. However, what remains unchanged is that the distance between the notes of the minor key is fixed, which is: Whole - Half - Whole - Whole - Half - Whole - Whole Below we introduce these two different perspectives. Major key perspective: That is, the minor key is the chord starting from the sixth degree of the major key. The chord notation using numbers is as follows: 6m7 7m7-5 1maj7 2m7 3m7 4maj7 57 The advantage of this perspective is that it is more intuitive when searching for songs. After all, thinking in major keys is the simplest and most direct idea. When you hear a song that starts or ends with 6m, you can guess that it is probably in a min...

  幾種常見的和弦功能 在抓歌、練爵士標準曲過程中，其實可以歸納出一些常見的脈絡，以下就和弦的種類從最簡單到複雜列出來，我認為這七種算是構成了大部分歌曲的和弦要素，如果是流行、搖滾的話也許到第四種就很夠了。 這邊提到的七種和弦，每一種都能夠單獨提出來介紹他背後的意義，而且都有辦法互相代換，有時候就是看創作者認為怎麼樣才會好聽而決定，所以即使知道了這些，對於怎麼應用還是需要透過認識歌曲來達成。 至於每種和弦對應的音階，又是另一個大主題了。 順階和弦 泛指某個調中完全用調內音組成的和弦，例如：１、２ｍ、３ｍ等。 副屬和弦 根音由調內音組成，但和弦是屬七和弦的和弦，用來製造特別的聲響，通常解決到目標的 順階和弦。 Sub-V（廣義降二代五） 與副屬和弦功能相似，但往下半音解決，搭配副屬和弦可以連動。 小調借用和弦 借用平行小調的順階和弦，常見的例如：４ｍ、ｂ６、ｂ７等。 其他調式借用和弦 較少見，比較有名的有ｂ２，借用平行的Phrygian調式。 減和弦 減和弦有許多特殊的功能，最常見的就是兩個全音順階和弦中間的連接，例如２ｍ到 ＃２dim到３ｍ。另外減七和弦也可以看成往前半音的屬七和弦降九，如Bbdim7 = A7b9 (不彈根音) 輔助和弦（Auxiliary Chord） 較少見，一般會依附在順階和弦附近半音，作短暫轉調，例如： Strollin’ by Horace Silver ，1maj7、1maj7、b3m7 b67、2m7 57 by < Daniel Chen > -  Guitar  Teacher of Fusian Music - Graduated from Berklee College of Music - See more in  Fusian Music Website

  Common Chord Functions in Music In the process of learning songs and practicing jazz standards, there are some common progressions that can be summarized. Here are the types of chords listed from simple to complex. I believe these seven types constitute the basic elements of most songs. If it's pop or rock music, the first four types might be enough. Each of these seven chords can be individually explained and they can be substituted for each other. Sometimes it depends on what the creator thinks sounds good, so even if you know these, understanding the application still requires familiarity with the songs. As for the scales corresponding to each chord, that's another big topic. Tonic Chord A chord composed entirely of notes from a specific key, such as 1, 2m, 3m, etc. Subdominant Chord The root note is composed of notes within the key, but the chord is a dominant seventh chord. It is used to create a special sound and is usually resolved to the tonic chord. Sub-V (bII7/bV7...

  音程介紹 音與音的距離，稱為音程，從本身開始算，順著某個調數，數幾個就是幾度音。 例如：Ｄ調中，由Ｄ數到Ｆ＃，這樣就是三度音 其中又根據全音半音的關係，細分成大、小、完全、增、減的關係，以下整理出所有音程的介紹。（以Ｃ為例） 一度：Ｃ到原本的Ｃ本身 大二度：相差一個全音，Ｃ到Ｄ 小二度：相差一個半音，Ｃ到Ｄb 大三度：相差兩個全音，Ｃ到Ｅ 小三度：相差一個全音一個半音，Ｃ到Eb 完全四度：相差兩個全音一個半音，Ｃ到Ｆ 增四度：相差三個全音，Ｃ到Ｆ＃ 減五度：相差三個全音，Ｃ到Ｇb 完全五度：相差三個全音一個半音，Ｃ到Ｇ 增五度：相差四個全音，Ｃ到Ｇ＃ 小六度：相差四個全音，Ｃ到Ａb 大六度：相差四個全音一個半音，Ｃ到Ａ 小七度：相差五個全音，Ｃ到Ｂb 大七度：相差五個全音一個半音，Ｃ到Ｂ 由此可知，我們可以將音程分類，二、三、六、七只有大小，四、五只有完全、增、減，其中減四度等於大三度，並且幾乎這樣稱呼，增四度等於減五度，增五度等於小六度 在音程推算練習時，超過四度的不容易直接算出來，但是四、五度非常好背，所以會建議將完全四度、完全五度背起來，他們各只有一個例外，六度之後，建議用回推法算出音程，回推法即透過音程間的補償關係，由較近的音程推出較遠的音程 例： Ｃ往低音數小三度為Ａ，往高音數大六度為Ａ Ｃ往低音數大二度為Ｂb，往高音數小七度為Ｂb 整理發現音程間的補償關係有其規律性 二🡨🡪七、三🡨🡪六、四🡨🡪五 大🡨🡪小、增🡨🡪減、完全🡨🡪完全 舉一些互相補償的例子 小三度🡨🡪大六度、完全五度🡨🡪完全四度、增四度🡨🡪減五度 其中增四度與減五度互相補償也互相等於，並且這個音程也很重要，建議需要特別記起來。 音程除了要知道怎麼推算之外，也要知道他們聽起來如何，耳朵最後還是判斷音樂的重要依據，另外，舉例中只有以Ｃ為例子，在練習的時候建議能從不同的起始音開始，並且往前跟往後推，發覺音與音之間的關係。 by < Daniel Chen > -  Guitar  Teacher of Fusian Music - Graduated from Berklee College of Music - See more in...

  Introduction to Intervals The distance between two notes is called an interval, and it is measured by counting the number of degrees between them within a certain key. For example, in the key of D, going from D to F# is a third interval. Intervals can be further classified based on the relationship between whole and half steps, and can be described as major, minor, perfect, augmented, or diminished. Here is a summary of all intervals based on the key of C: Unison: C to itself Major second: One whole step above C, which is D Minor second: One half step above C, which is Db Major third: Two whole steps above C, which is E Minor third: One whole step and one half step above C, which is Eb Perfect fourth: Two whole steps and one half step above C, which is F Augmented fourth: Three whole steps above C, which is F# Diminished fifth: Three whole steps above C, which is Gb Perfect fifth: Three whole steps and one half step above C, which is G Augmented fifth: Four whole steps above C, w...
