Yeah this looks really good. Split screen support is fantastic, that's what will make me buy this game.

Fantastic, thank you very much for your insights!

This was wonderfully insightful! Thank you.

 

Are jazz guitarrists able to play a song in a "solo guitar" setting without arranging in advance, just from a lead sheet?

I'd appreciate any advice from jazz guitarrists on how to develop this skill.

As a beginner guitarrist, I can appreciate the craft that goes into playing a bassline, chord melodies, all at the same time on just six strings, while also stablishing a groove. It would blow my mind if people can improvise all that on the spot.

How is that awful? The deep dive videos are all we need to understand generally what the new things are, and why we should be looking forward to it. Isn't that all marketing can do?

The best way to learn is to figure stuff out by ear.

The other two suggestions are good: get a couple of real books (there are several) and iReal.

But don't forget to use your ears! Figuring chord changes and melodies by ear is a fundamental skill for jazz musicians.

But everybody plays the same notes together. So, isn't it the opposite of a solo?

 

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about, the one just before the solos.

What do you call sections like that? Tutti, interlude, "the crazy part"?

The only other example I know, apart from Chick Corea, is "Las Pulgas Freeway" Eugenio Toussaint. If you know other examples please do share :D

Yeah, great point! That video made me realize there is a large corpus of videogame music to incorporate into jazz.

Modern standards (self.jazz)
submitted 1 year ago by AbsolutePain to c/jazz
 

What are modern tunes that might become jazz standards? E.g., songs that are being played in your local jazz scene, at your school, etc.

Not necessarilly universally acknowledged as standards, I'm just curious what modern tunes are fun to play in a jazz setting. Stuff like Strasbourg / St. Denis, videogame and movie soundtracks, etc.

Yeah, video game music is a great fit for jazz. Mario 2 overworld is already jazz. Mii Channel is another one (e.g., insaneintherain arrangement). Check out vgleadsheets website, tons of lead sheets from videogames.

Monter's Inc theme is great too.

Btw, definitely share your guitar duo socials here if you ever put something out! Jazz guitar duo is such a fun ensemble.

Per Wikipedia:

So it might be slander, dpending on Italy's laws. :(

I'm also a kagi user and share the same feelings about it. Definitely worth it. Specially since I know my search data is not used to bias search results or sell ads on the search results.
