Tunes That Teach Ya Somethin

[@Brendan99349]

Saw Peter with Christian McBride & Inside Straight at the Vanguard last Thursday night, brilliant performance! One of the best shows I've ever attended!

[@JJBerthume]

Love you guys I look forward to all of these episodes and practice applying what you teach! I love the banter too 😂

[@daveshep]

Thanks for including Evidence. There’s a lot in that tune that a bass player like me can learn about PRECISE syncopation.

[@Guitarinthewoods]

Brilliant and entertaining as ever. Thanks guys.

[@PaulieStamets]

Love the latest looks Adam, looking really sharp. Thanks for the knowledge guys, love you

[@RogerShepard]

You guys are the best!

"Softly, as in a morning sunrise", by Sonny Clark is really helping me with the minor 2-5-1s😀

[@tiluriso]

Thanks for sharing.

[@idnemgk]

Brilliant! This has been one of my favorite topics for years. Thank you for fleshing it out. : )

[@thomasbrzezina8206]

Thoroughly enjoyable episode.

19:15 "you know you can't land all the planes all the time" I laughed so hard at that saying 😂

[@ForkySeven]

"Some people will just have to die in a plane crash" lol

When the world seems like its falling apart, when I'm being bombarded with negative vibes from every news outlet, when im feeling FOMO from the AI and Crypto bubble, when i fear for my unborn childrens lives in the future...I can click on a youll hear it podcast and forget about it all. Refreshing. Rejoice!

I know about and love a Clark Terry record before Peter? That might be a first

[@ili626]

21:10 what about Reflections?

[@dandonahue7104]

First and second bar could be the inspiration for Barry Harris 6 diminished theory.

I was impressed when you got Jeremy Siskind at OS but this time you got Inspector Gadget!!???

[@L.F.Carpede]

Thanks Guys...Merry Christmas!

love this

I think it should maybe be "You can't ONLY information yourself into being a better player". You cant really be a good player without information, even if it isn't music theory but it's just stuff you've figured out in your own way, it still is information you are using. However, the information alone doesn't do anything. Once you have the information, you need to work it a lot to allow that information osmosis to really make you better by just having more inside of you to come out. Like a good moisturizer helps your skin glow

[@NicolasJuanMusic]

Adam, did you get the V8 plugin? The Rhodes is sounding extra crispy!

Peter Martin is the only pedant I can get behind

I feel like those Donna Lee enclosures, those classic bebop lines, are warning me like one of those state park rules signs where there's a list of dozens of things you're not supposed to do, like no hiking, fishing, hunting, trapping, camping, swimming, dogs, litter, motor vehicles, horses etc etc on and on, with the print getting finer and finer as it goes, like an eye exam chart. It's inevitable that I'm going to break something. On the one hand, the breakage issue, with the music, is not only a personal aesthetic choice but also a lack of internalizing the sound and genre conventions, because the root cause is like how many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb. But when I DO like that style, I like it very much, so there's still this curiosity. I want to explore that park, but I'm still, after a few years of messing around, trying to play different jazz songs or idioms, where I want to bring the dog along, despite the rules clearly stating no. Maybe I should take some intermediate steps, as my listening tastes slowly evolve. So far, the straight bebop lessons have been like finding myself in a "how to paint like Mondrian" class when usually I fingerpaint in the style of Dali meets Rockwell. My artistic interests are broader than my capabilities... but when the interest is curiosity more than love, even if I can see a broader trajectory heading that way, then discipline suffers. Okay, TBH practice for that kind of playing is annoying. The previous stuff is the reasons for why that's the case, personally. Does it transfer to the body at some point, or does it stay as head music?... I don't mean about danceability, rather I mean playing intuition. I think consistency of practice would help. Actually I know it can. I'll try to make that possible. For a couple of YEARS now (yikes) I don't get many opportunities, so during the rare chances I get, I usually noodle around for fun, and then times up before I exhaust that. Back when I had access to a piano keyboard every day, I had a good mix of noodling, learning technique, and figuring out songs (or learning them from videos/sheet). I could sacrifice (weird living situation) the Wavestate's keys... they're already low quality, and there are only 37 keys. There's not much muscle memory practice that can happen with that, but I can learn more songs and changes riffs on it, and get consistent practice that way

[@GizzyDillespee]

All of the other examples, I was like ooooo, that's nice. But of course it was the first one that took me down that path. Even just one of these examples could keep me practicing. Monk's especially fun, and Tunisia is a great one. I gotta get back on the So What voicings... I was doing that for a couple of weeks (when the piano was ever available) but I've slacked off on that too.

OS Pro preview of coming attractions ...

[@jarkkojanhunen6121]

A consolation may be that it shouldn't be necessary to learn the five Monk tunes in all 12 keys before one is "good to go" since we're talking about learning synchopation.😂

[@KyleDreherThailand]

Greetings from Thailand. I'm enjoying this lesson so far, but I noticed the correlating Spotify Playlist is blocked as private. Would you fine gentlemen be so kind as to unblock it for us all? 🙏 😊 ❤

[@YoullHearIt]

Thanks for the heads up! The playlist should be public now. 🎹

[@KyleDreherThailand]

It is! Thank you for fixing that and for your excellent content. 👍

[@gerredy]

Does Peter try and wind up Adam on purpose lol

[@BeauOnDrums]

🤩🤙🎹☕️
