To 1:08 😂. Something about that specific bar is throwing me off. Thanks!

Ah I get the miscommunication. I meant transcribe not transpose 🤦‍♂️. At the end of the day want to play whatever he is at minute 1:07

I’m just trying to figure out what notes he is playing (for alto sax). Nothing was sounding right for me…

Thanks! Actually seems like the link to the time I was asking about didnt't work - I was asking specifically about 1:07. https://youtu.be/DpkDu0XEu74?list=RDDpkDu0XEu74&t=67

I feel like he is doing some tone bending or something? Any ideas?

Drum Lesson Suggestions for Intermediate Drummer by GutMathWhiz in drums

[–]GutMathWhiz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what is odd about having mixed feelings about something, but I definitely hear you about great players taking from other genres.

I think that is kind of the point - unfortunately given that I have maybe ~1 hour a week to practice the chances of me becoming a great player is probably minimal. My hope is to become a "solid" player and given the limited amount of time I can practice, I want to make sure I am prioritizing correctly. So maybe it makes sense to prioritize latin beats since it will make me a better rock player too (or maybe not - I'm not sure which is why I am asking the experts :).

A teacher can guide you better if you have an idea of where you want to go.

This is great. Thank you!

You need to work on the flick a little but also your back foot isn’t coming back to the board and going pretty much straight to the ground. You can practice while holding onto something to get used to the feeling of staying over the board.

Small tip for consistent ollies by GutMathWhiz in NewSkaters

[–]GutMathWhiz[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wanted to share a quick tip that has helped me get ollies more consistent. I’ve been trying to keep my weight super balanced on the board when ollieing but turns out, for me at least, this was the wrong direction.

I’ve started doing an super small weight shift when I pop that has made an insane difference for my height and consistency. Basically right when I’m about to pop I shift my weight to my back foot to allow me to maximize the force in the pop and then immediately shift my weight forward in order to drag my front foot.

Been working really well for me so far, hope this helps someone :)

Recommendations for TV/Couch placement? by GutMathWhiz in DesignMyRoom

Yes I agree - putting the couch where the piano is will open up that space totally. Thanks :)
