Re: Enough With Embrouchure questions and on with the real deal
Kristy, sometimes I don't explain stuff very well.
. Kristy is absolutely right !!!! I transcribe countless solos from many types of music. I retain what I like and discard what I don't like. Kristy is dead right when she says to learn from the pros. When I was a kid I got fed to the lions. My teacher used to say OK, what are you working on? Then he would put on the record, yank the needle off, and criticize me. I had another teacher who was a writing genius. He could write from memory, and really fast. He played piano while I sight read my part. I had all those solos on paper which was nice. I didn't have to write either way. Some of you less experienced players might do well to take a piano class. My point is that I think you will benefit more by transribing on your own. Whether you write, or do it by ear, try do do it off the recording. It's good ear training :) Kristy, you and I pretty much agree on most everything, about NO MAGIC JAZZ PILLS !!!! :)
