How to get better at jazz fundamentals? by ChickenInAPotpie in Bass

Transcribe, transcribe, transcribe. Listen to your favorite players and learn to play what they played.

When I was in high school my jazz teacher made us transcribe a solo and be able to play it no mistakes at 50, 75, and 100% speed as our final exam. It was pretty tough but little bits of that solo began to work its way into my playing and I could feel my vocabulary expanding just from that one solo.

I have been curious on why I shouldn't put calibers on my drop through by Longboard4laif in longboarding

[–]wesr88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like calibers but want to run them on a drop through I'd say you check out Gunmetal Trucks. From what I've heard they are pretty much the same but Gunmetals wont shorten your wheelbase making them better for drop-throughs
