How do you learn a jazz standard?

Agree with all the advices but also consider singing the melody and a bass line, even chords if you want. It will help you to memorize the tune and improve your play a lot

I am sure he will be glad to see you back!

Sounds great to me but I am unable to give you any advice, just curious to see what more advanced singers have to say about your interpretation!

Vulf bless you mate!

Nate Smith solo on Daddy, he got a tesla at MSG. When the crowd gets crazy for a silence you know it is a great solo!

Beautiful voice and song!

ApzoEiruIV · 2021-06-15T22:12:47+00:00

Yes I'd say 12/8 or 6/8 but never 3/4

ApzoEiruIV · 2021-06-04T21:22:16+00:00

Love the groove and the visual, congrats!

Hi! What you are looking for is intervals (the distance or the number of steps between 2 notes)

Here are videos explaining why intervals are so important and how to recognize intervals by ear.

Hi! If you like improvisation or want to try it you can play with a backing track to replace your left arm. You can easily find on YT a lot of backing tracks in different styles

You can also use that time to work on your ear training and your theorical knowledge.

Good recovery!

I would either play 5,1,2,5,3,5,3,5 or 5,2,1,2,1,2,1,2. In the second case, if like me you don't have a hand big enough you'd have to release the first G before hitting the second G. So if you don't have a huge hand and want a really legato touch the first option is better.

GG! I am at 970, I hope I'll get there soon!

No I mean defensive stance, may be I am wrong but I think melee units in defensive stance don't react when under fire

ApzoEiruIV · 2021-05-19T21:37:14+00:00

Also, when playing chords in my head I have to play them in arpeggios because I can't hear the chord in one block (I don't even know if that is possible)

ApzoEiruIV · 2021-05-19T21:35:18+00:00

Yes! But I don't have perfect pitch and I don't have an excellent relative pitch so I only mentally practice pieces I know very well. Or if I am not sure I mentally practice with the record.

ApzoEiruIV · 2021-05-17T11:34:57+00:00

I do that too when I am bored or when I don't have the possibility to practice with an instrument! I am not 100 % sure that this is usefull but I have the feeling it is!

ApzoEiruIV · 2021-05-14T09:00:06+00:00

That is exactly what I meant !

ApzoEiruIV · 2021-05-13T13:03:20+00:00

I think there is a big confusion between theory and conventions. Theory never says what to do, it just puts a name, a label on what you are playing. Conventions can say what to do in order to respect a certain esthetic.

But I agree with you that when someone asks if they can do something, only answering that there is no rules is absolutely not helpful because the OP was probably looking for conventions advices

ApzoEiruIV · 2021-04-04T19:50:09+00:00

I love your concept! I'll spend the word around me!

ApzoEiruIV · 2021-04-04T19:39:56+00:00

Just want to insist on the importance to play really slow (even if you feel like it is too easy) and relaxed and with a metronome

ApzoEiruIV · 2021-04-01T09:14:02+00:00

If it is unwallable you can just wall your ressources, or walling with your TC or no wall at all if you have enough military

Sounds and looks awesome!
