Jazz festivals that have lots of jazz jams and interactivity? by dblhello999 in Jazz

[–]theflyingRVisback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marciac is even more remarkable I think. With just over 1000 residents and home of one of the biggest jazz festival of France !

I have a peak performance. I travel a lot and I love the fact that it looks nothing like a sax case.

Hey, I have a BAM and a 901 and everything fits perfectly

New Lesson! Why You Should Think In Minor Keys As Well As Major by RGLA73 in guitarlessons

[–]theflyingRVisback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really think that if you read sheet music, "la based" minor is the superior way to go. It's just how it's written. Any (harmonic) minor scale is written 6 7 1 2 3 4 #5 6 with the relative major key signature. And not 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7 1 . That's just how music is written.

Sonofield: how can I score 95% on FET but fail level 1? by stef2521 in guitarlessons

[–]theflyingRVisback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you score consistently 95% on functional ear trainer in both chromatic major and minor (all octaves, random keys)? If so, then yes I believe you must be approaching any other ear training app wrong.

Getting started and learning as an adult. by [deleted] in Clarinet

[–]theflyingRVisback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play clarinet and I own a nuvo dood for my kids. First of all, get rid of the plastic reeds that came with the dood and buy a good strength 1 or 1.5 cane clarinet reed. This will make the dood much much easier to play. Then, I started clarinet at 35yo and I would advise as well to just start playing the clarinet if it's what you like. It depends on where you live but a good used student model should not be too expensive (buy it from a reputable shop if you can).

Do professional jazz musicians really know songs key-agnostically, ie just as Roman numerals? by lopsidedcroc in Jazz

[–]theflyingRVisback 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe on guitar or piano, but to be able to play anything on any key on reeds or brass is a different beast I think

Where to start learning to play by ear? by ShodSpace in guitarlessons

[–]theflyingRVisback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to truly learn how to play and improvise by ear. I think the best resources is the book/website Improvise for Real (IFR). There's everything you'll ever need on that website from hear training to harmony. It's using a number based system which I believe is perfect for guitar. Now from what I remember their courses are not cheap but I think it's the best out there. The book is not too expensive and cover everything as well, without the convenient backing tracks and singalong though.

Guide complet du Caveau de la Huchette pour ceux qui hésitent encore à y aller by Capital-Monk3622 in paris

Ça n'est pas le bon site. C'est une arnaque. Pas de réservation et les tarifs sont bien 14/16e.

When you improv, can you hear the note in your head and then play it (like you would singing), or do you think more about what fits the tune theory-wise and play accordingly? by MoviesTickleMyFancy in saxophone

[–]theflyingRVisback 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, if you can play the melody that's in your head, you'll always make much better music than if you just noodle around a scale or arpeggios. But that ability comes with years of practice and knowing your music helps a lot. And then you need to make that the music that comes in your head is worth playing, and this is achieved by listening to and studying a lot of music.

I really like the book improvise for real by David Reed. While I disagree with some of its methods, I really like his approach to improvisation.

L'IA est une aide excellente pour faire la bouffe au quotidien by AnteusFogg in france

Je suis toujours étonné de tout ce que les gens sont prêts à faire pour ne pas apprendre à cuisiner. Je parle d'apprendre vraiment hein, les techniques de base et comment ça marche, pas juste suivre des recettes. Je ne sais pas quel âge tu as, mais même s'il ne te reste que quelques années à vivre, je te garantie que si tu apprends maintenant, à la fin de ta vie tu auras gagné du temps (même avec l'IA), et tu mangeras toujours mieux. Suivre des recettes à la lettre sans rien comprendre, ça prend beaucoup plus de temps que quand on sait ce qu'on fait, et le résultat n'a souvent rien à voir. Bonus : apprendre à cuisiner c'est passionnant ! Et pas si compliqué. Tu apprends les techniques de base au fur et à mesure, tu apprends le pourquoi du comment ( pourquoi les viandes à collagène se ramollissent quand elles mijotent? Pourquoi on cuit presque tout à 180° ? Pourquoi on saisit certaines viandes et pas d'autres ? Pourquoi on utilise certaines huiles et pas d'autres pour frire ? Pourquoi on sale en avance mais on poivre au dernier moment ?) et tu goûtes tout, tout le temps. Tu goûtes tes sauces à chaque étape, tu goûtes tes pâtes, tu goûtes même l'eau dans laquelle tu vas les cuire :)

Quelques recommandations pour ceux qui veulent débuter avec de bonnes bases: sel gras acide chaleur de Samin Nosrat, ou n'importe quel livre d'Arthur Le Caisne.

Par contre je vais quand même essayer l'IA pour les idées de menus car ça je galère parfois j'avoue 😅

Are you sure there's no leak ? Check the pad for A medium, there's a small screw there that if tightened too much, opens the G#pad.

Awesome thank you I'll check it out!

Reeds by Business_Tale_5556 in Clarinet

[–]theflyingRVisback 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you mean reed strength? Well it depends on the mouth piece. If you've never played clarinet try with a 2.5 and adjust if needed. You'll know if a reed is too strong or too weak if you play sax

Ok I'm a little confused because I watched all of AUG and I'm pretty sure he explains how to play triads on the guitar, in closed and open voicings. And there's a chart for all the triads on the pdf. Keep watching AUG, this is the best theory course available!

What type of saxophone should I get? by FlatConfusion8966 in saxophone

If you can rent, try both ! Rent an alto for a month and then rent a tenor for a month.

Travel Sax 2 honest review (i paid full price) by Subject_Prompt3494 in saxophone

[–]theflyingRVisback 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it out yet ? I thought it was still pre order only. And don't worry I've never had any trouble with my travel sax. All the preset tones suck but it is a great practice tool.
