東園街的夢 / The Dream of Dongyuan Street

歌詞：

來來 去去 來來 去去 亭仔腳內往來的人 哪裡去 去哪裡

豆菜 發芽 豆菜 發芽 孵出豆芽甘會孵出 美夢 噢希望 希望

你找尋的那個希望 就好像有他的眠夢 哪裡去 哪裡去

你還在找那個美夢 到底過了幾個年冬 哪裡去 覕在哪裡 

生生 世世 生生 市市 長長的麵 甘有長長的回憶 哪裡去 去哪裡

你找尋的那個希望 就好像有他的眠夢 哪裡去 去哪裡

你還在找那個美夢 到底過了幾個年冬 哪裡去 覕在哪裡 

你找尋的那個希望 就好像有他的眠夢 哪裡去 去哪裡

你還在找那個美夢 到底過了幾個年冬 哪裡去 覕在哪裡

這是2016年應於加蚋子舉辦的第三屆拾光市集之邀，為好加在工作室拍攝的三部紀錄短片創作的歌曲。

一開始看完三部影片後，變希望能夠用一首歌來串連三部影片，稍作思考之後，覺得三部影片中的人物都帶有著一種對於過去的緬懷與對於未來的期待，便覺得三首歌可以都先以接近影片中主題的段落作為緬懷的呼應，再接到共同對於未來有所期待、在找尋希望的段落。

由於許多影片中的人物都說閩南語，在一邊哼哼唱唱的過程，也不自覺地使用了較接近閩南語的發音，因此便以閩南語作為創作語言。同時為了希望能夠帶有質樸的感覺，儘量使用不需要透過電子設備變成直接演奏的樂器錄製。希望能夠讓那樣的願望、緬懷、情緒，透過音樂，更加直接、坦誠地傳達給觀眾。

Techniques From Songs: Minor Line Cliche（艾怡良 (Eve Ai) - 無數個我 (The Unrecognized)）

這次要延續上次的話題，跟大家聊聊艾怡良的無數個我的和弦進行。還沒聽過的人，請先點一下傳送門（Cover / 原曲）！

有太多地方可以講了，我們就挑前奏的部分來討論一下就好了吧！

相信應該很多人都有看過007系列電影吧？不知道有沒有發現片頭曲跟這首個的和弦進行有點相似之處？

這一段和弦進行是小調Line Cliche的著名範圍，而這首歌的和弦進行應該就是以小調Line Cliche為基礎來做變化！Line Cliche基本上是針對同一個和弦的某一個聲部移動，來達到變化的效果。

像是007的範例，就是針對了Fm和弦的五度做半音的移動。

而這首無數個我也是類似的案例。

作曲者一樣針對Fm和弦的五度做變化，只是他的變化是5, #5, b7, 6，而進入到6時，他改以Bb7和弦來搭配，而不是繼續留在Fm和弦。

一樣類似的手法，也可以用在大調，聽聽看90年代情歌金曲Kiss Me的前奏跟主歌！

下次也在自己的歌曲裡面用用看這樣的手法吧！

If you haven't heard this song, please check it out first! (Cover / Original)

Before we talk about the intro of this song, I believe most of you have heard the theme of 007 series.Did you find that it sounds familiar with this song?

The chord progression of 007 theme is a well-known example for minor line cliche! Line Cliche basically means to move one note of a chord in stepwise to create a motion in static chord progression.

Like in 007 theme, the 5th of Fm moves to #5 and 6.

The song “The Unrecognized” is a similar example.

The song-writer also moves the 5th of Fm, but it moves to #5, b7, 6. While it moves to 6, the chord changes to Bb7, instead of stay in Fm.

It could also be applied to major chord progression. Let’s listen to the 90’s hit Kiss Me as an example.

Try to use line cliche in your song, too!

Cover: 艾怡良(Eve Ai) - 無數個我(The Unrecognized)

這次要cover的是艾怡良的無數個我。

這首歌的和弦進行有滿多事情可以聊的，但這個部分就留到下次再說，這次就先彈吧！演奏的部分，歌曲是F小調，所以夾移調夾在第一個會比較好彈，但還是躲不掉封閉的！此外仍需要對E型Minor和弦以及一些可能的變化有一定的認識，不然可以能會有點辛苦！

This time I'm going to cover The Unrecognized by Eve Ai.

There are may things could be discussed in the chord progression of this song, but let’s save it for the next time.

For playing-wise, it’s a song in F minor, so capo on the first fret would make it easier, but you still have to play some barre chords. Also, you have to be familiar to the variations of the E shape minor chord.

不推薦5000元以下吉他的3個 (The 3 Reasons Why Not to Recommend Acoustic Guitars under $150)

這次要聊「不推薦5000元以下木吉他的3個理由」！

第一個理由是手感！

價位較低的木吉他因為種種理由，會讓吉他彈起來、按起來、握起來的感覺不太好。而這會導出第二個理由：音色。

當吉他不好掌握的時候，對於新手來說，要演奏出理想、不要有太大的瑕疵的聲音相對困難，就算成功發出來，音色往往也不怎麼好聽。而這最終就導致了第三個理由：學習熱誠。

由於要發出理想的聲音需要耗費相當大的心力，往往導致在學習熱誠上受到挫折，而進一步讓人停止繼續演奏的熱誠，與吉他的緣份也就到此為止。

5000元是一個大概的標準，畢竟吉他價格也是會隨著物價波動的，畢竟我最近也有是到4000多元，但品質ok的木吉他。但就以這個標準來說，我想會想要選擇這個標準以下的吉他的人，多半都是初學者，我真心覺得避開這樣的選擇，應該能讓你在與吉他相處的這條路上過得比較愉快！至於5000元以下的吉他，個人相當推薦拿來種花，應該會滿好看。

This time we are going to talk about “the 3 reasons why not to recommend acoustic guitars under $150”

The first reason is the feel.

Cheap guitars usually don’t feel that good playing-wise, pressing-wise, holding-wise. 

And this leads to the second reason: Tone. 

When you are not so comfortable with your guitar, for beginners, it’s not that easy to produce solid, ideal sound. Even you do, it’s not likely that you will like the tone. 

This brings to the last reason: Passion. 

When it takes that much efforts to produce a solid sound, people might feel really frustrated and even give up playing guitar. 

$150 is just a general standard, since the price of guitar fluctuates and I personally have just found a decent acoustic guitar in $140. But deem it a general standard, most people who choose guitars under $150 are beginners. I do think you should avoid those guitars to have a happier journey with guitar. For those guitars under $150, I personally recommend to use them as flowerpot, that should look good.

Listen: Nilüfer Yanya - Thanks 4 Nothing

這首歌一開始以偏電子的鼓組與吉他帶出有著Bossa Nova感的節奏，好像該令人感到輕鬆，但整體的聲響卻都偏冰冷。副歌前半段先把節奏收掉，後半段再把節奏帶回來，但這次是真實鼓組的聲響，充滿空間感，但應該沒有太多壓縮，演奏的節奏是常用於準備推砌出較高情緒的慣用打法，但最後卻是收回原狀。

有趣的編曲，符合歌詞，也充分表達出那種處理與前任之間的情感糾結的情緒。有種將要被遠遠的直拳正中，卻在眼前消失了的感覺，空剩故作輕盈的姿態與一身冷汗。

但其實我最喜歡的歌詞“‘Cause I don’t want to make things better. Thanks for nothing lasts forever ”，雖然在歌中可以理解成一種與前任的認真訣別，但是單看這句話真是厭世的相當有剩，好想用這句話寫一首歌啊。

-----

This song starts with electronic drum and guitar to bring out a rhythm with bossa nova feel, which (maybe) should make me feel relax, but the whole sound make me feels cold. The chorus begins with lower energy without the drum, but brings it back in the later part with spacious, acoustic, barely compressed sounding drum. The rhythm used in this part often used when the music is trying to build up the energy, but it just lets the energy go and goes back to verse.

Really interesting arrangement, which aligned with the lyrics and also delivered the emotion trying to deal with one’s ex. It feels like you are going to be fitted by a far far straight punch, but it just disappears in front of your eyes, leaving you ,who tried to be calm, in a cold sweat. 

Actually, I like the lyric”Cause I don’t want to make things better. Thanks for nothing lasts forever ” most. Although it can be interpret as a serious abandon to their relationship, it is so misanthropic to look alone. Hope someday I can use these words to write a song.

Technique from Songs: 刷弦的動態（Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here(Intro)）

刷弦的動態是一個重要的音色控制角色。刷弦時，透過位置、範圍、輕重的改變，可以影響音色非常多。一段演奏若是一直維持同樣的演奏動態，聽起來其實會有點枯燥乏味。我在這裡會演奏Wish You Were的前奏片段，請參考原曲，並觀察我的演奏，再用附上的譜例試著演奏看看。也試著將這樣的概念，放到平日的演奏中喔！

The dynamic of strumming hand is a key role for controlling the tone. The position, range and power of your strumming influences the sound a lot. It is insipid when you keep the same strumming dynamic all the way through. I will play through the rhythm part of the intro of Wish You Were Here. Listen to the original song and take a look at my playing before you try out! Also, put this concept in your own songs!

Cover: Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (Intro Solo)

這首歌前奏的獨奏大體上都是用E小調五聲音階在演奏，結合了E跟D指型，還可以順便練習開放弦應用，很實用。推弦的部分，我雖然有打出音高，但其實他的音準有點微妙，要自己多多揣摩！

---

The intro solo of this song is based on E minor pentatonic. It combines shape E, D and open string. A really practical solo to learn. The pitch of the bending part, although I write out the pitch, is a little subtle, so take some more time on that part.
