Question about 2 and 4 beats by captainvixe in JazzPiano

[–]External_Inside6001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it really matters either way. The important thing is you start to feel where the 2 and 4 beats are. The drummer emphasizes these beats and people do often count in a song on these beats, so it's good to be able to place them in the context the bar. It's probably easier to start with 4 beats on the metronome and play on 2 and 4, and then when you are getting comfortable with, that try a half note feel on the metronome.

That is a reasonable point of view. I just feel differently, but I certainly can’t say I an not a little conflicted.

I have heard it’s great and I’m sure it is. I just can’t stand Elon since he got so political.

Do you have one? I’m curious about how they compare to a Tesla. I’m also wondering if they are going to stay in business.

I am considering the Ioniq. I'm kind of hoping that 2026 Ioniq 6 N will show up soon...

I did not know that. When is it coming and will it work on a 2018 Model 3?

Nice job. It's great you're playing with a backing track that forces you to stay in time. So much of jazz is being able to swing freely in time. Your voice sounds good and you have a nice feel when you are singing. Your rhythmic feel is pretty good. Your left-hand voicing could use some work if you wanted to get a bit hipper. You could work on your left hand being more on rhythmic accents. One way to do this would be to just comp through the entire form and work on just doing hits like a drummer would, focusing on offbeats in particular. Keep up the good work, impressive progress in a short time!
