About swing, rhythm, how would you call this ?
Mess, lazy ?...

Where's the drummer he's listening to?
-
What do you think he's listening to ?

Or are you talking the sax player? He's ok, just really laid back...that piano players intro is rough...hard to listen to.

Sure it does !

here’s how the post started. i know it’s not tight, that’s because it’s still unnatural. I feel when i can do this as second nature I’ll be swingin.
-
ill be rude; that pianist is a groove assassin
-
Joe, I'm not a good example of swinging but you should sing something and play it. That would be natural.
Listen to something, right foot on one, hand clap on two, left foot on three, hand clap on four and sing something.
Things come this way.
Sorry, that was 4 years ago, maybe it's better now or worst.
-
Joe, what did your playing sound like before?
-
my eighth notes or ny actual playing? a string of 8th notes would be dum de dum de dum for the most part
-
On the bass he is very good but he wants to play the piano, he usually plays alone so he feels alone every time, when he calls me for a gig I'm sometimes not comfortable, I have to blow and blow, it's linear, not enough space... Originally Posted by joe2758

I'm old fashionable, I'm old school but not New Orleans.

WHAT? What was that plinking stuff you were doing? When you get it right? I hope you never get that drivel right. In fact, you will never get it right because it's drivel. Originally Posted by joe2758

Chrissakes, Joe, I don't want to see that.
I meant what I said. Dum-de-dum-de-dum. That's all it is. Don't measure it, don't even think about it, just play the stupid thing.
Dum-de-dum-de-dum. Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush. Anybody can do it. Little kids can do it. Just do it.
-
heres my dum de dum. i will like the new way better when it becomes natural: i shouldnt have posted my first attempts at a new time feel
-
He plays nice things (solo guitar), same standards than you : Fella Bar Barlight, Flora, There's always be another me. Originally Posted by mr. beaumont

See his Youtube Channel in his profile.

Better. In fact, no problem. It's not the dum-de-dum, it's the awkward fingering, isn't it? You drag because your poor brain can't cope :-) Originally Posted by joe2758

nice pink thing
-
I know that side of him, I wanted to hear his swing...
Can anybody post an example of swinging by playing...yknow...music?
-
Yo, that’s some good upbeat placement at the start but I kind of feel you are overthinking it. Originally Posted by joe2758

Don’t need to think this through too much. I think once you are happy accenting and locking in the upbeats you can experiment with straightening out a bit. That’s how it seems to be for me, at least.

sigh
-
Yall make booty music as much fun as math.
Joe, take a tune, a real tune, and blow some changes over the drum loop.
I don't know how anyone thinks they can tell anything from these posts. You might swing great already. I have no clue.
-
OK, a nasty example, if Joe needs a right hand, I need both. Originally Posted by mr. beaumont

Yo really should not try too hard. Unless you expect a call asking you to emulate specific feel of one, or another, just let it go naturally. Too many pages are wasted to say "accents are reversed".
Was it in this thread, who is pro and who is not ...whatever
You are pro if you decide so.
Important is to become an established pro and to create demand for own product, goods or services.
That is, clients to know about you, what you have to offer and to actually request it.
Being regularly paid for above makes you successful pro.
If you get paid and they call you again, you are good pro.
You have to do some advertising, but advertising alone makes you only wannabe pro.
If there was demand, but not any more, it makes you -used-to-be- pro.
And so on.

No, DON'T try and 'do this' and 'do that'. Originally Posted by joe2758

Jeesus. This is how teachers make money out of you.
That's right, I'm angry! Fed up with it.
