This video is one of the most helpful video on this kind of stuff. I think your point of not trying to be a singer and nailing 100% of the notes is correct as you want to get the feel of where the solo/ song is going. I definitely fell in that trap and spent way to much time fixating on getting every single note without paying attention to articulation and all that other jazz and not really getting anywhere. The best thing to do first before singing is to just enjoy the song and listen to it so much that you can sing roughly with the track

As a trumpet player, and a major jazz lover, I have A LOT of songs that I know bits and pieces of, but the two solos that I could sing every note to is Arturo Sandoval’s trading in Funky Cha Cha and Wayne Bergeron’s trading in Gordon Goodwin’s Backrow Politics. This big band especially resonates with me when it comes to how Gordon writes. It’s so unique, style varies, and the members have such great character in their playing. Also the monsters inc theme ;)

I just wanted to mention my own experience with playing sheet music whether official or not. When I was learning keyboard, I used to tell my teacher a lot that the books were wrong. We investigated the songs together, and we both agreed that the books had transcribed the wrong note in a few places or placed a chord which gave a slightly different mood to the section. She was very accepting of the changes I wanted to make, and she would encourage and nurture that where appropriate. Of course I would get it wrong sometimes, but it's important to remember that sometimes the 'officially' transcribed music book, might be wrong, as the artists perform the song slightly differently or with their own style contrary to what they might document officially as an archived document. So the sheet music might be the 'written/designed' song, but the performance may be different in the recording (especially in live performances), that the specific styling of the song you might want to learn how to play, could be a little different to the 'official' version. My most vivid memory of this was the official music sheet compilation book from Disney, which contained the song 'Go the Distance' from Hercules. I found 2 notes which sounded so wrong and threw off the feeling of the verse, and also the tempo of some notes was off. The sheet music aligned neither with the Michael Bolton nor the Arranged version in the movie. I changed it, teacher liked it, I felt I was playing the 'proper' version. Trust your ears!

When I was in school, the band director at my school taught jazz band as an elective class. I remember I had trouble with solos (still do even now that I’m out of school and I just play piano for enjoyment). And a lot of that was rooted in the sort of very rule based world of classical music where I had learned how to play piano. He told me “when you’re trying to learn a solo, don’t transcribe the notes. Transcribe the feelings.” In essence, don’t try to play the notes that you’re hearing, try to play what the pianist or saxophonist or whatever type of instrument-ist is trying to portray to the listener. Play by feel not by rules. Of course I was like 16 at the time so I was kind of like “whatever” but I realize now that there is wisdom in what he said.

Give me just a couple of seconds of so many songs, and my brain doesn’t stop until it’s played through, often with me singing bits. 80s pop? Weird indie rock? Every Super Mario Theme? Yes, even jazz. I actively developed this in ways, but also I do think I was wired in a way to absorb as I did, being neurodivergent. Enjoyable video as always!

For me_ after having played the instrument for over 3 and a half decades_it has been to go back to any number of songs which I used to listen to as a teenager over and over again, and although never transcribing or formally learning them to go back now with those solos and licks so firmly engraved into my mind that I play many of them in real time on guitar just from memory and having been playing guitar now for so long. It even works on many more classic rock or 80s pop tunes though perhaps not as instantly as real time with the songs I loved, but near enough on occasion from having heard all those songs incessantly on the radio back in the day. And I am not claiming to be s master of my instrument or anything like that, but it's actually a phenomenon that I had never anticipated, but there are certain things that pop up over and over and I certainly have developed my ear quite a lot over the decades.

I remember trying to learn a song on guitar, something I've never listened to before. I had a constantly moving rhythm section that is note for note. I was also trying to learn singing it at the same time. Not to mention, the song was on an odd time. Played the tune practically 24/7, in the living room, bedroom, and car. Then every three days I'd sit down and try playing it. It definitely accelerated the learning versus learning it line by line. After two weeks, I could play it as though I knew the music from a long time ago that I'm able to change keys wherever I want with a totally different chord shape on the fret board. I guess I'll revisit this process again. I never really though of the process that way, I really was just challenging myself at that time.

The guitar solos for Mordecai and Selkies: The Endless Obsession by Between the Buried and Me stand out for me as like... the moments when I realized transcription was what I was instinctively doing. I still to this day can't play the Selkies solo, my fingers can't keep up with the fast sections, but I've got those solos completely committed to memory note-for-note. By-ear and singing transcription has been a big part of my learning process. Combining it with written transcription to fill in the complex parts that can be difficult to parse, like those fast runs you sorta... legato'd your way through... XD That's been my primary method of learning music for 20 years. This applies really well to learning hip-hop vocal lines too, when you stop thinking about words and phrases and start thinking syllables, pitch and rhythm, it makes it much easier. And I've been taking to using this by-ear singing method to learn drum parts too, it can be helpful to learn drum patterns that require complex limb independence by learning the *sound* of the pattern, then piecing together how it feels after. I noticed this was my primary way of learning music when I realized that I could sing along to every song I listened to basically note-for-note, even harmonies for a lot of them, but I could rarely sing any of the words. And I learned very quickly that this learning method could be translated to other tonal, and even rhythmic instruments as well. Now, I'm trying to advance that process by adding in much more detail in my study and mimicry of vocal textures and articulation. Trying to not just mimic pitch, but mimic tone, velocity and timbre much more deliberately. It's opened up a lot of doors creatively for me, and helped me advance the way I think about several of the instruments I play, most of all vocals. Really cool idea for a video, thanks for sharing this! I can't think of a single music teacher I've had advocating for this way of learning, and this way of learning has incredible use and value.

Its not jazz, but the solo i learned by accident in and out, is the guitar solo from TUYU being low as dirt taking whats important from me. I was so addicted to that song that after watching this video, i could play that solo in my head on the spot without listening to the song

feeling very validated in the fact that I am terrible at sight reading but pretty good at playing by ear (transcribing!) I quit formal piano lessons because the commitment was too much for me at the time but I started learning casually for fun by just working out simple songs like Christmas carols, then going on to work out other music I've heard and honestly I've made so much more progress learning this way than I had for the years and years I took formal lessons!

See also: George Benson, who scats to the guitar notes he plays, and he is a *FIEND* on the guitar. Legend.

This is an awesome album. One of my all time favs. I first heard tracks from it in my early 20s downloading random jazz MP3s off of Napster. A couple of years later, after finding out what album it was from, I spent $50 for a Japanese import CD because it wasn't available in the US at the time. Well worth the price tag.

I went down an old rabbit hole on youtube and realized you could do a review of bad lip reading star wars music videos like Bushes of Love or Seagulls. I don't know if you heard them before but they are great.

I can "transcribe" every song on VH1, VH2, 1984, 5150, Diver Down and Fair Warning. Actually, a whole lot of 70s/80s rock lol.

Discovery is the greatest form of entertainment. Good Music and good games allow for that time to grab a couple of strong foundations and noodle your way around to very fun and intresting ideas. Its the very reason i subscribed many of your videos embody the joy of discovery.

I’d really love to see you react to the Disney short, Us Again! It’s got a really cool soundtrack that I absolutely love and fits with the short so well :)

one of my first was Miles Davis' trumpet solo for So What/Kind of Blue while I was studying with Phil Mattson... including the sound of the 'clam'... was way beyond my skill level but can hear in my head every time I listen to the chart.

I must say that back in the day, when as a youth I was playing in band, our conductor/teacher was making us to sing our scores. I must admit - our learning process of new pieces was "fast forwarding" big style
