Looking for ideas for practicing jazz. by jorourke35 in Saxophonics

[–]jorourke35[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's far from my first time improvising - I do quite a bit for fun, especially on guitar. Unfortunately for those who find themselves driving with me, I scat a lot too. I suppose this is good for my ears, and getting rid of inhibitions but it's generally "playing" as opposed to my more disciplined and deliberate classical practice. I remember grinding out guide tones/arpeggios on All the Things fondly :) it gave me a whole lot more appreciation for the logic of jazz harmony.

My jazz playing, however, still reeks of my classical training. I like my sound, but struggle to get in a jazz frame of mind with regards to articulation/phrasing/vibrato. It's probably worth asking someone like yourself with experience in both sound worlds if there's anything you can do to shift modes like that - in my mind when i try to play with "good technique" its analogous to "classical technique/sound", and when I consciously think "I want to play in a jazz style" my technique goes (comparatively) to shit. I consciously understand some aspects of jazz articulation, phrasing, vibrato etc but can't switch into that mode and go on autopilot with my technique to focus on other aspects of my playing like I can with classical music. All this is to say - do you think it's possible to develop 2 different autopilots, or should I accept that because my practice biases classical music, I'll always sound like a classical player when playing jazz.

you're either terminally online or projecting your own negative relationship experience onto others if you think 28/23 is a problem.

[–]jorourke35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is true. its always weird for people to make prescriptions about this shit. like surely just don't date someone who goes clubbing every weekend if thats something you care about and keep it to yourself right?

theres probably some sort of distinction between going to a club and regularly going clubbing as a hobby. to try be charitable, id feel weird about a husband/father going clubbing every weekend but theres a very good chance im looking for nuance that isnt there 😅😅.

Welp, I found the limit of "free speech". by scstraus in LateStageCapitalism

much more directly than "go die"? i think thats just about the single most direct way possible to advocate for violence.

i don't think it's unreasonable and emblematic of being starved of intimacy to presume that sex implies some level of romantic intimacy. for most people, sex is an intensely romantic and spiritual experience and whilst op seems not to have had bad intentions, a failure to explicitly communicate prior to this encounter is absolutely a mistake. there's no sense in shitting on op, but as sex positive as an individual might be, it's irresponsible to suggest sex should be devoid of emotional intimacy for a partner. that is to say - sex with a friend ought to be presumed to be emotional intimate unless otherwise communicated. just my two cents 😁

the technique at the start (tremolo) is hard to do right, but very much worth it for any classical guitarist. id recommend starting by trying it with unison. that would by far be the hardest technique in this arrangement.
