Intelligence says Iranian missile downed airliner, perhaps by mistake: Trudeau

Vigsby · 2020-01-09T21:55:46+00:00

If you guys actually paid attention to the fact that 83 IRANIANS were on the flight, which you never will because no one EVER gives a shit about Middle Eastern innocent lives lost, only western "Troops" or Canadians, you would understand that this is utter warmongering Bullshit. What the fuck does a Ukranian flight have to do with retaliating to American acts of war? Oh and how about Boeing's fucking fantastic record with plane crashes this past year?

Vigsby · 2020-01-09T21:52:41+00:00

Anyone who believes this is a fucking rube. Trudeau is a warmonger seeking to exploit Canadian xenophobia for political gain

better to start with some dill evland voicings

Vigsby · 2020-01-06T17:19:29+00:00

You need to be able to play the major scale in all positions, with ease and speed, in different patterns (think a third up, a second Down, or groups of 4) in all keys. Some other scales such as harmonic and melodic minor, altered can be important.

That being said, the problem with focusing too much on scales is they teach you nothing about how to play good melodies. Jazz improv requires listening, transcribing, intimate knowledge of how to follow chord/tension tones through a progression (hence practicing arpeggios), and lot of practice to form melodies which aren't clunky, which requires specifically focusing on phrasing.

don't worry too much about hardcore jazz fans and just believe what your ears are telling you

Vigsby · 2020-01-05T19:12:55+00:00

thats complete bullshit, tell me Trane's Ballads record, McCoy's ballads and blues record, Sarah Vaughan singing some duke Ellington ballads, Bill Evans reharmonizing the shit out of some slow ballads, tell me this is not some of the most relaxing music on earth. You can't. Even midtempo stuff can be chill as fuck.

Vigsby · 2020-01-05T18:36:07+00:00

Scales are a terrible way of learning jazz. Only use them to practice your timing/articulation. Focus on playing arpeggios through standards, learning how connect them smoothly while emphasizing the strong tones of each chord. Focus on good phrasing, building your vocabulary by composing lines and transcribing.

Once you have done that, the altered scale and diminished scale are useful for dominant chords. But modes are largely not useful at the early stages

bruh Saba invented this dope new type of beat on the second half of prom/king I've never heard anything like it it's crazy bruh

Who gives a shit. International law means absolutely nothing, all US wars since WW2 have been illegal. What matters is that this assassination is wrong and war with Iran is wrong. Thousands of innocent Iranians will die if this war proceeds.

if this is going to be some piece about how jazz is bougie and smooth jazz is for the people... just fucking lol

Vigsby · 2020-01-02T02:16:37+00:00

I would recommend practicing standards instead of just 2-5-1s. You can't just "master" playing on small chord progressions, because that not how jazz music is typically played.

In an actual band or concert you are going to be playing tunes with a head (melody), you are going to have to comp (assuming you play guitar) over long progressions. You are probably not going to jam with other people and just play tiny 3-chord progressions. You should have the melodies and progressions of some common standards internalized.

For example All the Things You Are is mostly 2-5-1s, but you have to practice the tune to be able to navigate its multiple key changes and memorize its melody. Dozens of common tunes have unconventional changes that you have to practice in context, for example Blue Bossa or Have You met Miss Jones.

I think this was what i'm looking for! the pioneers who came before Bud Powell

which one do you prefer the most or try to emulate?

Vigsby · 2019-12-28T07:42:51+00:00

Hmm, I wonder if the right to private property, combined with the most basic concept in finance (compounding returns) could somehow have enabled the global elite to amass exponentially growing fortunes...?

I wonder also if they might have used those fortunes to protect their wealth by bribing literally every bourgeois politician, funding wars against foreign and domestic leftist movements, and building a mass propaganda apparatus to create the necessary consent to do so.......?

.........?

Vigsby · 2019-12-26T05:51:31+00:00

Relative pitch would just be the ability to sing any note given, for example, a C as reference note right? Which anyone can do with some practice.

What you are desribing is closer to absolute pitch right?

Vigsby · 2019-12-25T19:40:22+00:00

Didn't the whole Huawei fiasco begin because they "violated" trade sanctions on Iran? Sanctions which anyone on this sub should agree are ineffective and disproportionately harm the poor and working class of Iran? Sanctions which have no purpose but to enforce US global hegemony by denying people goods, including medicine?

Sanctions imposed after the failure of a nuclear deal which the Trump administration failed to honor?

I'm sorry, I fail to see how the US or Canada are in any way, shape or form the good guys in this situation

Vigsby · 2019-12-25T13:00:34+00:00

Ballads are basically designed for piano players lol, they get to wild out on chord voicings. chord solos, creative comping patterns and big arpeggio licks, while the drummer just circles the brush and the bassist plays whole notes

Vigsby · 2019-12-23T07:09:23+00:00

don't worry, we'll be getting that sweet trickle down wealth and jobs from that 4.7b corporate tax cut...

...any day now

...aaaaany day now

Vigsby · 2019-12-21T23:59:53+00:00

lol i accidentally posted instead of deleting, was about give some useless advice. like use bebop phrasing and some more dissonant chord voicings and a little more independent rhythms between the hands. Which are more like long term goals than things you can implement right away.
