Techniques From Songs: 樂句的細節 (關你屁事啊 – 彭佳慧 feat. 熊仔 (EG Fills in Rap))

這次Techniques From Songs要延續「彭佳慧的關你屁事啊」利用第一段Rap的電吉他樂句，來講一下「樂句的細節」。

首先在第一小節第三、四拍，及延續到第二小節第一拍的四個音，單看音就是G#、G#、D#、D#，但是他在第一與最後一個音前面加上滑音，讓重複的音聽起來更有味道。

再來是在第二小節最後一拍的三個音，可以視為他在接近第三小節前的裝飾音，這種裝飾音有點像是發語詞的功用，其實不彈也沒什麼關係，但有彈感覺的確不一樣。

最後是，第四小節第二拍的還原G這個音。這一小段句子基本上都是在E大調，除了這個音。順著前兩個音往下多滑了半音到這裡。相對於C#7這是一個b5跟接著的#D跟B行成了短暫的增和弦，增加了一點刺激。

大家可以試著看一下譜，再一邊聽一次，看看能不能注意到我說的那些細節。接著，也在影片中附上的Loop，跟著試試吧！

This time in Techniques From song, we are going to talk about the detail inside the electric guitar riff in Julia Peng’s None of your business.

In the 3rd, 4th beat of the 1st bar and 1st beat of 2nd bar, there are 4 notes which are G#, G#, D#, D#. The guitarist slides into the 1st and 4th note, which gives the same note different feel.

The group of notes in the 4th beat of the 2nd bar can be deemed ornament. It is like an auxiliary word, which doesn’t really mean something. It’s alright to not play those notes, but it really feels different if you do so.

There is a G note in the 2nd beat of the 4th bar, a note that is not in the key of E. After previous two defending note, the guitarist went one more half step to G. In a C#7 chord, it is a b5 and forms a augmented chord with the following D# and B note.

Try to follow the chart and listen to the fill one more time, to see if you can notice these thing! Also, try it out with the loop in the video.

Cover Songs: 關你屁事啊 – 彭佳慧 feat. 熊仔 （和弦譜 Chords/吉他伴奏 Guitar Backing）

這次Cover Songs的主題是彭佳慧的關你屁事啊。

這是一首帶著一些Fusion、80年代City Pop樂風的曲子，其實主流公司會推出這樣的新歌，稍微有點讓人意外呢。這首歌有用一些延伸和弦，假如覺得這樣的和弦太過困難，可以考慮簡化成七和弦，聽聽看效果是否能夠接受。

這一次開始試著把旋律也打進譜，原本有試著打簡譜，可是因為我不知道怎麼在數字上加點，所以就放棄了。假如知道怎麼做請務必跟我聯繫一下。然後，Rap我懶得打了，請容許我偷懶一下。

This time I am going to cover None of Your Business by Julia Peng.

It is a song in the style of fusion and 80's city pop. It is surprising that mainstream company released a new song like this. There a some extended chords in this song, if it is not so friendly to you, you can try to use 7th chords instead of them and see if you like the sound. 

I tried to put melody in chart this time. I also wanted to type numbered musical notation, but I gave up, because I didn't know how to put a dot on or under a number. Please let me know how to do it, if you know. I didn't put the rap on the chart, sorry, I am pretty lazy.

Listen: Chet Baker - Lament

這次Listen要聊的是Chet Baker的Lament。

這是收錄在Live&Rare專輯中的版本，照這名字來看應該是收錄了一些較少見的現場版本，但專輯的資訊實在不好找。

這首Lament收錄的是現場的Trio版本，Chet Baker吹小號、Jean-Louis Rassinfosse彈Double Bass、Philip Catherine彈吉他。之所以想要拿這個版本出來講，是因為我覺得在這場演出中，這三個人的對話性非常的好，他們的演奏非常流暢而恰到好處地填滿空間，支撐著主奏，也填補空白的色彩。另外，吉他手會在一些出乎意料的地方加入連續的分解和弦，相當有趣。希望你們也會喜歡。

This time in Listen, we are going to talk about Lament by Chet Baker.

This version is included in the album Live& Rare. There is not much information about this album on the internet, which (by the name) I suppose is a album that puts some rare live version of songs together.

Lament is a live trio versions. Chat Baker on trumpet, Jean-Louis Rassinfosse on double bass, Philip Catherine on guitar. The reason I want to talk about this version is that the conversation between instruments is so fluent. They comp for the lead and fill the empty space perfectly. Also, the guitarist use continuous arpeggio in some surprising timing, which is really interesting.

Live: 湖水藍 - 散步路線(Cover) in 家吶子 台式居酒屋

聖誕節前夕的居酒屋演出，氣氛相當歡樂，有熱情的店員和觀眾。

不太專業的錄音設備，但是效果還可以接受。

我也一如往常地唱自己的歌唱到忘詞，相當尷尬。

但我會繼續努力的，以後也還會有機會在這裡出現的，希望能夠看到還沒見到的你們。

Techniques From Songs: 推弦的表情(The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps)

這次的Techniques From Songs要聊聊「推弦的表情」。

推弦是一個非常「吉他」的演奏技巧，也能夠彰顯出演奏者「演奏表情」上的特徵。

推弦不只是把弦往上推而已，還關係到「推到哪個音、推的速度、推到音準後得處理」。另外還有釋放「釋放後的音高、釋放的速度」。除了單純的推弦之外，也還有一些組合技套餐，總之推弦是一個可以展現豐富表情的演奏技巧。

在這些前情提要後再來看上週Cover的While My Guitar Gently Weeps。

上週有提過這是一首非常適合練習推弦的曲子，可是為什麼呢？

首先他的推弦包含了半音、全音、一全音一半音，把比較常用的推弦範圍都推過了一次。

再來是，推到音準後加上揉弦的表情非常大！是一個特徵很明顯的演奏！

最後是，有許多組合技套餐！

可以注意，這裡比較沒有提到的是「速度」，推弦與釋放的速度。

這個部分其實也有很多可能性，但今天我們就先不多談！在知道有這些需要注意的點之後，在練習與聆聽音樂時，都要更加注意演奏者處理的細節，才能讓自己更加進步喔！

This time in Techniques From Songs, we are going to talk about the expression of bending.

Bending is a very “guitar” technique, which conveys a player’s playing character.

It isn’t only a technique pushing strings upward, but also relates to how high you bend, how fast you bend, what you are going to do when you reach the pitch. Releasing the string is another thing, where you are releasing to, how fast you release. You can also combine bending with other techniques into a combo. In sum, bending is a really expressive technique.

In last week, I covered the guitar solo of The Beatles's While My Guitar Gently Weeps and mentioned that it is a good song for practicing bending. But why?

First, he bends in half note, whole note and one whole and half note. That is the most commonly used bending range.

Second, his vibrato after reaching the pitch is very distinctive.

Last, there are a lot of combos.

We didn't talk much about "speed" this time, the speed of bending and releasing.

Although there are many possibilities, let's stop at here for now. Since now we know there are  different aspects about bending, next time when you are practicing, try to focus more on these details!

Cover Songs: The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Solo & Backing Track / 獨奏與伴奏)

This time, I am going to cover the solo part of The Beatles’s While My Guitar Gently Weep.

It is a good song for people who’s practicing bending. After the cover part, I will play the backing one more time without the solo guitar, so remember to try it yourself.

這次Cover Songs的主題是The Beatles的While My Guitar Gently Weeps的吉他獨奏。

這是一段很適合練習推弦的獨奏，在我的獨奏部份後，會有一段只有伴奏的部分，記得自己也試試看喔！

Listen: Mac DeMarco - One More Love Song

這次Listen的主題是Mac DeMarco的One More Love Song。

這是一首安靜、寬廣的失戀歌曲，會有一種並沒有真得懂了什麼、學到了什麼，也還沒有說真的都放下、豁然，但就以一種「或許就是這樣吧？」的心情接受了，讓我聯想到「9 songs」這部電影。

曲子的編制和發展其實滿簡單的，剛剛好襯著這樣的主題。節奏組鬆鬆的Swing 16th的節奏感，加上吉他凸顯十六分音符第二點，就這樣一波一波、緩緩低推著曲子向前。一開始的Synth音色其實有點玩味，或許還有點在嘲笑自己，但是進副歌後鋼琴進來讓整個空間感拉開，情緒跟著也液了出來。

相較於這樣的曲子，他的現場演出倒是玩心很重，是一個滿有事的人，不知道這樣算不算反差萌？

This is a calm and broad song about failed love. It doesn't fee like one learned something or let the feeling go, but accept the failure like "maybe that's it?", which makes me think about the movie <9 songs>.

The arrangement and development of this song is pretty simple, which suits the topic well. The loose swing 16th feel of the rhythm section and the guitar's accent of 2nd 16th note of every beat 1 push the song slowly forward like wave by wave. The synth melody in the intro feels like one still laughed at oneself, but the piano in the chorus makes the space broaden and carry out the emotion.

Although compare to this song, his live performance is quite interesting in a special way. Maybe this is some kind of gap moe?
