    Really helpful stuff y'all, thanks for chatting about this topic. Soo much jazz advice is rarely elaborated upon. "Just transcribe man, it's important". Sure, but why? What should I be focusing on? How much should I transcribe? What should I transcribe? I feel like y'all answered most of these questions for me to some extent and I really appreciate that, so thanks 🙏. Great podcast

      Working out Adam's words through Peter's faux français was like transcribing Oscar Peterson playing Cole Porter, while a recording of Edith Piaf singing "С'est lui que mon cœur a choisi" was playing over the top. :-D

    Great episode (they’re all great though). My thoughts on a good chronology/pedagogy to transcribing Lester Young (in order): Fine & Mellow, then Poundcake, then Shoe Shine Boy, then Lester Leaps In. (I’m finishing transcribing the 3rd of those tunes). I also teach high school jazz band and my students can all sing Prez’s Fine and Mellow solo. I made the whole class learn to sing it over a week in class (no instruments). A few have now figured it out on their instruments already and the rest have to over the next 2 weeks.

  • @daltonridenhour
    @daltonridenhour 4 года назад +9

    One thing I would recommend is using a slow downer (I use AnyTune Pro). Not only does it speed up the process, but it helps eliminate mistakes. I also find it helpful to practice the transcription at a slower speed, along with the recording.

    How do you ever transcribe jazz piano? If there are on average 3-5 notes being played at a time, complex chords going on, how do you follow it and get all the notes correctly? It's crazy hard to replicate all these notes, voicings.

  • @alexmallett9981
    @alexmallett9981 Год назад +2

    I find personally that it's hard for me to focus closely on transcribing unless I'm writing things down. Maybe this is because I'm a bass player and the lines/solos aren't very singable in general. One of the biggest things I get out of transcribing is looking for bigger concepts that artists use. Like "Walter Page plays a lot of triads, repeating the root for the first two quarter notes" or "Sometimes Ron Carter just makes up whatever changes he wants and experiments". These types of concepts help develop lines from chorus to chorus.
    Love this video.

  • @kasperdreyerdd
    @kasperdreyerdd 3 года назад +4

    What does “transcriping” mean to you? In Danish (I’m from Denmark) it means writing down something that you hear. Otherwise it’s “play/learn it by ear”? They seem to think of it differently?

    • @Megatwilightwarrior
      @Megatwilightwarrior 3 года назад +2

      In the context of music it can mean both to write it down or simply to learn to play it. One can think of an aural transcription as like writing it down in the mind - or even that playing it on the instrument is its own version of written score.

  • @b-sidesmusic
    @b-sidesmusic 9 месяцев назад

    What do you guys mean by "Don't write it down"? Should I listen several times, sing it and then take it to the instrument? What is actually transcribing in this case? Do I need to know how to read sheet music?
    Those may be dumb questions but I'm really new to this topic in particular.

    • @NotFine
      @NotFine 9 месяцев назад

      No you don't have to be able to read
      sing it and bring it to your instrument; that's transcription, just not in a classical sense
      Don't get so caught up in the notes but how they're played
      I think that's what they mean by "don't write it down"

  • @christiangarcia9245
    @christiangarcia9245 2 года назад +2

    What I’m kinda torn about transcribing at the moment is that, where does the language that I’m transcribing gonna come through in my playing when I’m playing in a different keys from what I learned from the recording or playing other tunes?
    I would think that mastery of the fundamentals of the instrument would help me achieve what I’m hearing in other peoples solo and then being able to transcribe and elaborate on it easily. I’m transcribing Oscar Peterson’s solo on “Girl from Ipanema” to guitar and I’m half way through, it’s kicking my ass but it’s coming through.
    But now I’m thinking okay once I learn it, and I’m done; now what??
    Would love some other opinions and experience. Thanks

      The notes you’re gonna forget, the feel ,intonation articulation etc are gonna be what you hear when you’re playing. The notes don’t matter

    • @cursedswordsman
      @cursedswordsman Год назад

      That's why my teacher emphasizes transposing various parts. After you do the transposition part enough, you can do it easily

    • @joshuamiddlebrooks3981
      @joshuamiddlebrooks3981 11 месяцев назад

      That’s very true- but focusing on the fundamentals are probably best for now. What you can actually do is figure out what key the song is in (as in what type of key) and master translating stuff across different keys- like if for instance it was in the key of G and it was a G to a Am to a D understanding that’s a 1-2-5 progression and how to translate that. All the notes are scale degrees, and if you can translate everything by scale degrees it will limit the compositional interpretations you have less! Hope that helps (fundamentals are always most important, long and short)

    So is this it. Listen to something for a while until you can play or sing it, then you are done. The fact that you can’t remember it in a month is ok. Because you can do it again. Sounds like Sisyphus to me.

      Unless you already know what transcribing is this video won't help. Which is ironic because it's telling you "How to Get Started".. I guess the assumption is if you can type "transcribe" then you should understand what it is, which isn't true. They're skipping several steps and analogies.
