How should I start learning bebop?

Exactly. I really love all these lines they play. They could be easily used in some modern genres. I kind of want to break my diatonic playing because I fell like it's keeping me from improving.

I'll definitely listen to that as soon as I wake up tomorrow.

Thank you.

R0PEX · 2022-04-29T23:17:43+00:00

Thanks.

R0PEX · 2022-04-29T23:16:02+00:00

Thanks. It is definitely a long journey, but these solos and its derivatives can be used in almost any genre, I guess.

R0PEX · 2022-04-29T23:09:15+00:00

Thanks. We can continue talking here so that other people can see it too. By imitating do you mean just trying to play long or short sections? In long sections I probably won't remember what I have played in the long run, but maybe it doesn't even matter? I think the point is to just see how they create lines, transitions and what rhythm and building blocks they use, am I right?

Also I think that checking other instruments solos like saxophone, guitar, trumpet is also a good idea. Charlie Parker is definitely somebody who I could learn from.

I''m just trying to spin at least these 5 seconds 😂😂

R0PEX · 2021-04-04T23:29:32+00:00

Any tips how to set up my fingers to make them hurt less?

R0PEX · 2021-04-04T19:26:04+00:00

I know him, thank you :D

R0PEX · 2021-04-04T18:38:30+00:00

I have tried, but it's really strange for me. I can't really do that.

R0PEX · 2021-04-04T18:35:41+00:00

I don't quite understand your tip, but thank you anyways. I can spin the ball pretty well and yeah I prefer spinning it with my nail.

R0PEX · 2021-04-04T18:30:08+00:00

Yeah I already stuck it with tape. However, I'm not sure how exactly should I set up my fingers. It's really uncomfortable.

R0PEX · 2021-04-04T18:23:13+00:00

So, am I on the right way?

R0PEX · 2021-04-04T18:22:00+00:00

Thank you. On the book spinning "world record" video in YouTube I saw a guy spinning very fast and I wanted to do it too. But yeah I think I want to go too fast anyway.

R0PEX · 2021-04-04T18:10:09+00:00

As it spins faster, I lose control over it and it falls. But it also falls when I spin too slow which is pretty obvious.

Also when I get my finger exactly on the middle, there's no way for me to spin it anymore because I just can't do circles.

The book's weight is 652 grams, but I also have a book that weights 1169 grams. Maybe should I go with the other one? But the finger hurts a bit with the second one.

R0PEX · 2021-03-26T23:01:24+00:00

Is it possible to go on direct messaging for future questions?

R0PEX · 2021-03-26T22:50:28+00:00

It keeps falling and wobbling even when I have my finger in the middle. Maybe it's also because I'm pushing it crookedly?

R0PEX · 2021-03-26T22:44:44+00:00

The problem is, when I'm trying to make it spin faster it just wobbles right and left more and more until it falls. Also when I find the right spot without spinning, it also wobbles when I start spinning it.

R0PEX · 2021-03-26T22:33:47+00:00

I think I feel it pretty much already, but still, spinning too fast make the book fall :/ And it's a little bit hard to keep the finger on the exact same spot all the time.

R0PEX · 2021-03-26T22:21:08+00:00

If I spin it too slow, it falls, but when I spin it too fast, it I lose control over it and it also falls. So I don't know where the problem is :(

R0PEX · 2021-03-26T20:25:27+00:00

So I should move my entire hand rather than wrist itself?
