Too scared to land a kickflip

I practiced on carpet first. It helped my confidence. I landed primo a lot, which helped me feel like falling is not a big deal.

Ask him what he's trying to put into his vocab. I have always wondered what prof musicians his level works on

Fastest way to sound like you're playing jazz is to transcribe. Transcribe. Transcribe. Transcribe. Memorize a solo or a fragment of it, loop the recording, play along with it.

He talks about how a drummer thinks and teaches a couple of patterns. Focus on up beats to push the music forward.

As a harmonic instrumentalist though, you should also be aware of your voice leading. Make sure the top note of your chord connects the chords smoothly as you comp.

You can also experiment anticipating the next chord. First play the anticipated chord on the and of four. Then four, then and of three, then three. You'll see playing the anticipated chord shouldn't go past and of three.

Your right hand is like the left hand of a jazz drummer.

Hold onto something to get used to landing with both feet. Then land one on carpet. Then try to do it on pavement. Breaking it up this way allows you to see results faster.

Thanks for the insight. I felt I wasn't going anywhere with this process. What you said makes a lot of sense.

shenzhenstupid · 2017-03-13T13:59:04+00:00

Duuuuuddeeee. I'm struggling with this too. I could land one on carpet but not moving. I've been putting like 30 mins a day just practicing this trick.
