bayoubill Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The above material is what you would work on in Music School. It is applied to every tune you learn. Think of the money you're saving by just doing the two videos above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to be perfectly honest with you here Craig I'm talking about the video .....Which in my opinion leaves a lot to be desired ...so don't feel I'm attacking you . 1, I do know how to play the Song Giant Steps . I have been playing it for years and I'm still working on it so I will be basing my opinion as a player that has worked on the tune for years not a wanna be dreamer or internet influence r FWIW ,this thread was a mock /copy thread title based on some of the Coffee House threads that had titles like " I'm having trouble with the Mods ....Fill in the blank " Even taking those details into account I can understand why people may have thought I was looking for help... My truth is.... Hey if someone can teach me something I want to learn I'm teachable and I can be all ears . In that G S video they give a nice little history about the tune and dance around the history lesson BS about the circle of 5 ths , ll V l 's and the songs origins . Yet nowhere in that video do they take the time to show you how to play over the songs complex chord changes , or show me the viewer what sounds hip on my instrument and compare that that to what don't sound hip.... My book is a real simple read "either I can or I can't " I am 100 % merit based and that happens to be how I judge the people I play with ... The way things are now where this much less money in music makes me feel more strongly about that .But hey I wont Lie if someone wants to pay me good money ...I can lower my standards ....lol A person can watch that video 10 times right before they walk out on a stage to do a gig and they will still be none the wiser on how to Play Giant Steps .... I will say the video makes a nice little history lesson yet It is what I consider empty calories in the sense that it does not teach anyone how to play their instrument over the song Giant Steps ...... Since nobody in the video even played the tune on their instruments ...to me that became a very big red flag .. IMHO the only way to play Giant Steps is to work on it and practice playing it until you can get good at playing over it .... That is only if it is important to the person that wants to play the tune ...not everybody could give 2 $hits about the tune "Only The Old School Die Hards seem to care " about the tune . Once one reaches a point of fluidity and a modest form of self expression playing GS , then that's the time to practice it some more because all the talk in the world ain't gonna get it done .... Interestingly enough I used to talk with John Pisano every so often when I went out to hear him play .... I asked him what he thought about Giant Steps and he told me why bother going there when Have You Met Ms Jones (he felt )was a hipper tune to play .. Most people don't know Have You Met Ms Jones has the same exact chord changes to the GS bridge section ..it is .one half step down key wise ... That tune came out in 1937 a number of years before Giant Steps (1960 ) and unlike GS people in clubs never seem to get tired of hearing it played ...maybe because it swings and the first section is an easy listen ...who knows why ?just thinking out loud Anyway ..Peace Kenny Edited June 29, 2020 by kennywtelejazz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty Vacant ! is that the name of your new secret musical project ? Rumor has it you and Bapu joined forces and came up with a modern weaponized musical form of music based on tried and true historical instruments .. I heard it's you on the banjo and Bapu on the Bagpipes . I have been told , no matter where you guys have set up and started to play the crowd soon disappears and the area becomes Pretty Vacant. Is there any chance you guys could give us "The Bro Price " so we could afford to have you come up here and do a concert ? Craig and I are getting pretty tired of all the noise and destruction of property the protesters are doing up here in our town .The musical results you guys could deliver would be a welcome change to what has been going on up here recently ...... Pretty Vacant ...aaahh yes , come to think of it , that has a nice ring to it . Kenny Edited June 30, 2020 by kennywtelejazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
