The most important thing IMO is being able to feel the pulse. Dancing to the music might help, no kidding. Then the understanding of polyrhythms is helpful -- divisions of three against two and...
yeah I deleted it because I decided it wasn’t true haha [QUOTE[ The second paragraph - ok, but software like Sibelius can produce exact rhythms, but I don't think it would or could really...
Here are six short etudes, with an analysis, based on an eight bar section of Sonny Rollins' "Airegin", with free downloadable pdfs in Bb, Concert & Eb.
I don't really understand the first paragraph. The second paragraph - ok, but software like Sibelius can produce exact rhythms, but I don't think it would or could really reproduce how a jazz...
Professional opinion and the judgment of the community is central to music. The goalposts DO vary from tradition to tradition. We don’t do rubato in the same way as classical musicians for example...
If you get it instinctually, you don't need to break it down. I feel your teacher's pain.
True, but I think, even though people can agree on things, judgement is still exercised of a nature that isn't 'theory' (but I can see how this might be opening a can of worms already done to death)....
actually I disagree a bit. There’s a creative and artistic aspect to rhythm, but there is such a thing as bad time and rhythm (within an African diaspora music context) and I think pro musicians...
To answer the title question, you can't because 'good' is subjective and thus I would think outside and beyond theory. As Christian said, you can analyse microrhythm, which people have done for jazz...

Hi all! Just came across this thread. @pamosmusic - did you post your nine transcriptions somewhere? I saw "Gone With What Wind" a few posts up, but not the rest. Many thanks for your contribution!
It should be a crump on yours bro. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. To me, Guitars look there very best in the white wood stage. If I could have one built and it’s wood has a light...
Very nice, thank you! You seem to be really listening to yourself, almost as if you were playing with someone else and responding. How much of this arrangement is spontaneous vs worked out?
Congrats 1977jazz! As someone born in 1977, I really want one of these in my lineup as well. Plus, I’ve been seeing the number “77” EVERYWHERE since March of this year. Signs and wonders?? Hope...
The clues in the word ‘feel’ That said i would start by being able to execute rhythms accurately - especially swing upbeats and eighth, quarter and half triplets. Be anal about this stuff. ...
