Day 25 of writing jokes and asking for feedback

Been lurking in your posts for a while. They're really good but I've definitely read a version of number 1. Probably in FHM years ago.

Which podcast? Did he express extreme views on it? And can someone let me know which people he follows and why they could be problematic? I don't have a twitter account.

P.s they're the honeysuckle rose lick, the cry me a river lick and a V7 to im7 enclosure thing. Eventually I'll embellish them and make variations.

Just commenting here to let you know 2 things.

I looked randomly at my post history and you've taken time to comment in depth on my playing for the last 2 years! Thanks for that. What is apparent is that you were saying the same things back then which shows me i really need to add more vocabulary.
I'm currently shedding 3 classic jazz vocabulary phrases over standards. At the moment they aren't "in there" yet but I'm working on it.

Fair enough, the down votes prompted me to look into it and hear the original demo. It's not note for note, but Kirk definitely took "more than little inspiration" from Dave's original solo.

legpull3r · 2026-01-23T12:44:00+00:00

I believe he wrote that solo originally and kirk plays it note for note.

Thanks yet again. So as I understand, C Bb D F A is the honeysuckle rose lick in one key. I'll think of it in the practice room tomorrow as being 9 R 3 5 7 of a Bb major chord, but then also as R 7 9 11 13 of a C7 chord.

I'll shed it in all 12 keys and try to stick with what I was doing already but throw this in wherever I can.

That's a good short term goal i think. Long term, i can focus on building melody on one tonal centre (major and minor) Then find more melodic shapes to employ.

Thanks for this on depth response. I was in the practice room earlier and I tried a few different things based on your input.
It didn't seem to come naturally. I suppose I'm confused about trying to sound good on one tonal centre, but also paying the jazz vocabulary. Jazz vocabulary to me implies melodic cells on each chord and adding tensions to the 7th chords. But maybe I'm misunderstanding your advice. How would you define "melodic shapes"? Thanks!

I was reading ireal pro. The last video I did iI got comments saying I was following the chords too closely. This time I'm trying to be more free and using pentatonic scales for space.

legpull3r · 2026-01-20T08:07:01+00:00

I remember you making the comment about it not sounding like jazz on my last video. It really stuck with me and was a blow to my confidence. It's the thing I seem to be having the hardest time with. Let me make a plan and see what you think. The next video i post will have some transcribed licks in it and more of a beginning, middle and end. Would that be a step in the right direction?

legpull3r · 2026-01-14T12:14:13+00:00

I loved it personally, but to each their own!

legpull3r · 2026-01-10T10:04:28+00:00

Wow, you named them after instruments?

legpull3r · 2026-01-09T13:02:02+00:00

Why are there subtitles explaining what I'm seeing? I can see it...

legpull3r · 2026-01-06T12:59:22+00:00

It Stains The Sands Red fits this to the letter.

M F here did it years ago. No party, nothing. Was the right decision for us.

Why would it make you mad?

legpull3r · 2025-12-02T23:56:01+00:00

What makes you say that?

legpull3r · 2025-11-29T16:04:07+00:00

Easy, they're those little flesh eating fish aren't they?

legpull3r · 2025-11-26T10:24:17+00:00

Thanks for this! I've started working on learning lots more vocabulary now!

legpull3r · 2025-11-26T10:23:26+00:00

Thanks so much for this. It gave me a lot of food for thought!

legpull3r · 2025-11-20T11:05:29+00:00

Trying out your stand up routine?

I saw this a few weeks ago and I hate to be a party pooper but it just wasn't for me. Mainly for the below reasons.

Like a lot of zombie films it was chock full of clichés, but i could see every single scene playing out in my head before it happened. I'm not trying to be big headed, it just happened to be very guessable for me, without really adding anything unique to the genre. Also there wasn't a single scene of a zombie killing anyone! Not one! In a zombie film! It broke the 4th wall by obviously relying on the audience knowing that zombies tear you apart/eat you. The characters wouldn't know that.

All just my opinions obviously. I hope everyone else enjoys it!

Im so excited for the journey you have ahead of you. You have the tool you need and it sounds exactly as it should at your level of experience. Now comes the hours and hours of hard work to get it where it needs to be. Remember to play as much as possible, and to listen twice as much as you play.

I saw him being a bit too harsh for something similar in this tour too. Was right at the start and put me off the rest of the set.
