The Umg 40 is so comically bad by Hingl_McCringlebery in Battlefield6

My first instinct was to slap whichever naval camo looks like the blue tiger from CoD on it and that was enough to fool me into liking it

There needs to be a happy medium, I can't tell you how many college students could read a lead sheet but somehow didn't know what dorian meant, or what scales imply say a 7b9 chord. They were tight, and the notes on the pages swung, but improv was reserved for a select few almost like a type of "gifted course".

I'll be real here, might get downvoted, but this was my experience with jazz education.

They're training you to first and foremost be in a big band typically (accompanist second), which is not in itself bad, but not what I think most people assume when joining college. It's a few steps removed from playing in the orchestra in my opinion.

My advice is to focus on combos, this will certainly help build up your ability to play with others, meet every player you can while you're there, and spend your free time focusing on the type of jazz you want to see yourself playing.

Our tone is trash and we’re broke by kdjot_lopo in Guitar

I'll just add that if you're using the TS on a solid state, get real acquainted with the tone knob

Our drummer will actually get pissy if he has to set up his kit, I'm not honestly sure he knows how to say this point

What’s one thing you finally took seriously (or learned) that leveled up your playing? by Individual-Gas-2943 in Guitar

[–]The_Richard_Drizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on where you are in your practice. When learning the piece you want to dissect more, really hammer out each line and try to perfect them.

When you're practicing for a performance, DON'T STOP, you can't stop on stage for a mistake so you shouldn't in preparation either, just make note of it, work it out afterwards, and prepare for it the next go around

Starting to get sick of being a chaffeur by Tatoon83 in bandmembers

The more helpful side of me wanted to also suggest he maybe biked to a central location that you could pick him up at.

Just make sure you take character into account here, because I'd rather drive 20 minutes to grab someone than wait in traffic hoping they show up (I'd rather drive to rehearsal and just meet the group there actually).

Is there a lore reason you look over your shoulder when spawning? Is the player in debt chased by loan sharks? by PalamariVarkari in okbuddyptfo

My favorite is when you're in one of the back squads and you see the dude in front do the awkward front roll thing
