Bit of a rough take, but this has been a fun one.

Any time spent transcribing Grant Green is quality time. Nice!

Goin hard

One day you'll play something that moves me, not just stand there playing a lot of fast notes.
-

Well, it was quite cheeky, I suppose. Actually, I preferred panasonic's version to Grant Green's :-)
-
We call it a transcription.
-
Oh, you mean you were playing his notes. Well, in that case he's not bad now and again :-)

Eyeroll

Can't you just try to be a bit nicer and more positive?
You've literally made OVER 9000 posts on this forum, and all I remember is negativity and grumpiness.
Just let the guy post what he is working on, and wanted to share it with us, and let him have his moment.
You don't need to comment on it, if you don't like it. You can move on and put on recording that moves you, without writing a comment.
When I saw the video, I felt inspired to go and practise and transcribe more Grant Green. So I think it's cool that he shared this.
I've listened several sound clips that you've posted and if I didn't get inspired by it or felt it "moved" me, then I simply moved on without expressing it in a comment, because it doesn't matter, neither to me nor to you or anyone.
I assume working on and making these recordings adds value to your life and means something to you, and that's enough. Keep playing the way you enjoy and continue enjoying, and let other people enjoy whatever they enjoy.Last edited by orri; 04-25-2024 at 11:12 AM.

Then you're not reading properly. 99.9% of my posts are either my own musical stuff, helpful stuff (hopefully) for others, or posts with a smiley on them. If all you can remember is negativity and grumpiness then you should look to yourself.
orri? I don't even recognise your name, and that's the truth. Where do you normally hang out? Not on threads where I post, obviously.
The remaining 1% of what I post may be negative if you don't care for someone who says what they think. But I think anyone's allowed 1% to themselves!
And don't forget, orri, you too have the option of ignoring people you don't like and going somewhere else to do your thing.

I see you have supporters. I meant what I said, I preferred watching you play than listening to the Grant Green recording. And, yes, I wouldn't mind seeing you play something with some feeling (or whatever you like) rather than the constant eighths bebop sound. Although I understand the attraction. It's probably just a personal thing :-)

Grant Green doesn't have feeling. This is definitely a new one.

Honestly? I find him rather thin and I never warmed to him. I understand a lot of people like him. I'm not saying he can't play, of course.
There's also the question of his prolific number of recordings. That was one of the first things I noticed, that he'd apparently covered almost every tune in the universe. I don't know, that kind of of put me off him for some reason.
I suppose there's also the question of Wes Montgomery. There's the sort of elephant-in-the-room thing between them. I think GG has always felt second-best alongside him and, I think, with good reason. Wes could light up a room with his presence and ability. He brought an immediate excitement with him.
Again, that's a personal preference but I also think it's true beyond personal stuff. But, you know, each to his own.
Incidentally, and this isn't tit-for-tat, can you tell me a 'recording with feeling' of GG's? I may not have heard enough of his stuff and missed it. That's a serious question, I'm not trying to be awkward.

All of them have feeling but No 1 Green Street smokes.

I honestly think he played with more "feeling" than about 99% of guitar players, but this should probably work.
