Rennaissance Woman...just discovered her through a Amherst NH Historical Society event I heard about after the event...true Connie irony...bittersweet

Your love for the blues came from your Atlanta upbringing and guitar playing cousin

Rhys was one of the first musicians I met when I moved to Los Angeles in 1974. To this day I consider him one of my best friends. He is truly a wonderful soul.

Hey look, it’s Stephanie Bettman! Best to you and Luke, Daniel 👏🏻

I just started reading Faulkner this summer. I have to push myself, somewhat, to read them. I finished _As I Lay Dying. What I remember most is the grossness of hauling a dead body a great distance. I didn't understand why the husband would try so hard to keep the promise to his wife, yet seemed to be looking for another wife at the same time. He also put his children through a difficult time. Is it any wonder that one burned a barn in the process. I am now pushing through Intruder in the Dust. I will take your advice and read more summaries, etc to try to get a better understanding of Faulkner's books.

It's too bad Connie Converse never hooked-up with Malvina Reynolds. I wonder who Connie listened to in terms of singer-songwriters, if at all.

Hi! Interesting approach. You could try explaining yourself in your own words the very concepts you've learned , so others could also gain some detailed understanding (and you advance your own comprehension even more).

nice video thanks alot

First time you go to a jam just go to listen, meet people and figure out the vibe, level and attitude. It might not be for you or them. Be friendly and modest and if asked, say you're just checking it out and you'll come back next time. Don't be a big shot or needy wannabee, just someone who's trying to work out whether you fit. Or you're just going to come back and buy some beers to support the thing. These events are incredibly difficult to coordinate and the honchos (usually the pianist or guitarist) are generally open but need to trust in competence. A jam is usually a pseudo-paid residency and the house band can lose it if things descend into "make a racket and have fun". There are actually supposed to be punters there who want to hear reasonable music. Which really isn't that difficult to achieve if you just play your part. As a rhythm player you only really need a couple of tunes you know well to cover the extremely unlikely event that there aren't any singers or horn players so you'd have to play a pick up trio number, which can be dicey no matter how well YOU know the number. Or even duo or solo. Just be a reasonable accompanist and have the iReal Book on your phone - everyone uses it. Let's face it, this isn't the olden days and nobody can be expected to just know anything anyone calls. It was the way back in the day because we were always gigging and everyone had the expected repertoire in them, whether we liked any particular tunes or not. That said, don't need to use your phone for really basic stuff... Don't have to read Autumn Leaves, Solar, Canteloupe Island, etc... Basically, pretty much anything on a beginner course curriculum. You probably won't get booted, but it looks bad. If you're a sit in and a singer appears saying things like "find my key" or even worse "just freestyle it" pretend you need the toilet and hand back to the house player. They're used to dealing with the clueless and it really is their job not yours... When your solo comes it's invariably towards the end when the energy and interest have waned. Don't try to spank the people who've gone before - it's not good to do it even if you can. Have some fun but just keep it tidy and above all make sure you get everyone else back in together strongly on the out head - they're often a bit lost. And a bit flushed with their moment and sometimes a bit pissed. Actually that sentiment is general - you're first and foremost a shepherd. Even if you're standing in. So basically, be a safe pair of hands. Most jams attract far more front liners than rhythm players and trust me, they're really happy to hand over so you can chug behind people endlessly waffling - er sorry, learning and gaining experience - over standards for them. Or... and here's a wild idea, learn the basics of bass (especially upright if you can borrow one for a bit). You don't have to be Ron Carter or Scott Lafaro, just be able to hit roots and fifths on reasonable tunes at medium up and walk a bit. Those guys often wind up slogging all night long and will love you even if you have the "second instrument" excuse of only being able to play a bit. If you nail the roots roughly in time most of the time you'll be fine... Bass isn't that hard beyond the physical experience. Don't get fancy, your right hand is a two finger flipper. The open strings are E A D and G but your basic way of playing is the half position with first finger giving F Bb Eb and Ab. Learn the scale fragments up between those and earmark the 5ths of each and you're clubbable for most jazz jam situations. I speak as a pianist who's plucked on occasion. Say you're just doing a favor and don't want a solo but if they insist - or just abandon you for some amorous interest at the bar - start messing around up the neck for visual effect while using your ear. Clue - it's a totally symmetrical instrument so what works down there works up here, over there and pretty much anywhere else. And by this point, nobody's really listening at all. It's not a wasted exercise either - even the most basic experience on any other instrument gives you insight into the way you play with them when you're back on home turf. And finally - the only thing anyone ever got hurt by playing on a jam was their pride. And that's down to you, right? All live music, including jams, seems to be on the decline but it's as important as ever, so if you're inclined give it a shot. Just be a normal reasonable human being or you might become part of eyeroll folklore. Word goes round and people remember idiots for years - usually fondly and people can redeem themselves, but the folklore persists. And they remember your attitude, not your ability. So just be nice.

Where can I find the Psych soundtrack 😢

ForScore and iReal Pro are life savers. Great singers who know their key are fun to accompany... amateurs who think they are singers and have no idea what a key is... are a nightmare.

Thanks for those ideas, I think they are solid. I am a come back trumpet player, practicing 3-4 hrs a day almost at the two year mark. I've been going to some jam sessions here, but just to listen and to soak everything up. I play in a rock band, city concert band, and jam with some people in their garage. I don't quite feel ready to step onto stage and play jazz standards. I'll be watching your future postings for more thoughts. Thank You.

Great advice man. There's like a rite of passage budding jazz musicians need to go through where they get their asses handed to them and realise how much more hard work they need to get to what they call great. It's part of the process, happened to me plenty of times before I became more humble about staying in my lane and not trying to punch above my weight. We're all learning, just at different points.

Hi Adam, Congratulations on the posting streak! I’ve been subscribed to you for quite a while, but just found this video by looking in my subscriptions tab. Looking at your last 90 days I notice that your top videos have very good titles and that definitely helps with the algorithm. “Are you comfortable with your intense feelings?” Is a great title and the subject of emotions evoked by music is very interesting. Have you considered making more videos in this area? Have you ever seen the UC Berkeley interactive map? If not you should be able to find it my googling: “open computing facility at UC Berkeley the emotions evoked by music interactive audio map”.

Fascinating! Because of my neurodivergence I'm actually terrible at reading comprehension but do tremendously better in auditory processing. I can never remember what I read but I can recite what I heard word for word even years ago.

hi, motivation from my side

That was really interesting actually

Thanks and makes sense. Cheerio.

Great advice!

δηλαδη μπορεις να φτιαξεις μια εικονα αυτων των λεξεων απλως ακουγοντας τες ; ωραιος !

dude send me the number of your dealer

a video laying out more on this topic would be very awesome! definitely interested if you have the time ^^

Hi I am Ayesha akther . A professional digital marketer and RUclips specialist. I analisis your RUclips channel.i see you uploaded Huge amount video .but you don't have enough views for some issues.can i share with you?

Great job

Wonderful viewpoint - thank you.

Lovely music!

Great explanation! I believe that, building on that, development in a discipline is often done in an iterative style - so you improve skills, knowledge, etc. to be able to apply them (directly or indirectly, very often the latter), and you proceed to apply them to be able to find some form of feedback and improve your method/abilities at the same time, sort of like the way you might write and debug code for example. It's very hard to perform with few or undeveloped capabilities, but it's also good to review and apply your techniques for these reasons to make sure you can direct your action towards something meaningful, essentially keeping it relevant, focused, and purposeful. Training <----> Development <----> Action and back around. Very interesting discussions, thank you for these videos!

Very Nice thank you 😊

I’ve really enjoyed your discussions so far on the key ideas involved in human behaviour and learning. I think it’d be very interesting to see some more on the specific mechanics of this and how this shapes our lives (and we can shape it). Wonderful videos! Very thought provoking, and I’d like to see more of your interpretations and explanations - very useful :)

I like to think of it as: if its possible/made sense to have fair dice have this many numbers as its base (D6, D10, D20, D7.45, etc.) how many dice would you need to represent this number?

Threw John the ball

*it's 42* 😂😂😂 I clicked on this video on accident after it showed up in my recommended, but this is honestly really well explained.

Quite insightful, thanks!

I play by ear. Learning a new tune from scratch depends on " hearing" it correctly in my mind. I'd never be able to even approach it backwards, particularly if I did not previously know the tune.

Any analogy that helps someone better understand math is a win.

well you certainly not an AI

Awesome! Can you explain Hilberts Nullstellensatz next?

Yippee

Isn’t it just easier to tell the person to multiply both sides by 6?

That’s very interesting. And yes I have struggled with algebra 😅

Who the 🦆 are u

Hello i would like a lesson in how to shave my balls, that would be appreciated

Who are you

Talk about learning principles, processes and strategies

This was delightful w precious early perspective. What an astute gentleman Rhys Clark is.

It was a wonderful concert, it was a privilege and pleasure to be there! thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing!!!!

way to go cuz!

It's Peg. Bruce is one of my bass heroes.Read his book The Big Wheel.

Thank you so much, both of you, for this wonderful, wise and perceptive interview. There are many things that resonate with my own life. I like very much that you said music has its own intelligence. That has certainly been my experience both as a performer and a teacher.
