I hear it a lot but can't quite figure out what note intervals it is. Like the roots are C and G I think, but it sounds like the melody is rolling around them? idk that organ part just sounds like a pretty ordinary vamp over C7 and G7 Also how to compose this type of music? Like around 1:45 is so neat,i can't figure it out it's cool, but I don't really know what you're asking. you just need to listen to that music a lot, figure out what's going on, and apply that to your own writing. if you're listening to this type of music and writing a lot, this will come out in your writing. What about the bass on this? Its like A, G#, C# and B for chords... But the bass at :34ish does that roll around the chords thing... It sounds like it's moving in triples? Idk the bass is playing a syncopated 8th-note (or depending on how you interpret the song, 16th-note) pattern. the player is putting accents on weak parts of the bar something that's extremely common in hip-hop, as well as in jazz improvisation going by a very cursory listen, the bass player seems to be doing a 3-3-2 pattern. a quick google search turned this up: http://www.drumscore.com/1306-332-syncopated-rhythm there is one major difference between the rhythms on page and the bassline: usually, when this rhythm comes up in music, it looks like the second line of music notation on that page; with notes only being played on the indicated beats. in the song, the bassline is playing all the 8th notes and merely accenting the ones that fall on the written rhythms SaithSayer posted...

Is she right? in general, no. potential will not be stunted if she plays video game music. however, I'm a bit hesitant to give a concrete answer here because it's third-hand information. one of the big reasons why teachers assign Mozart and Beethoven is not because of complexity, but because that's the music the teacher knows. the Castlevania music might be above this girl's skill level I have a ukulele student who loves Prince and has a Prince songbook and wants to learn those songs, but would ultimately just get discouraged at her current playing level. it might also be the opposite she might be advanced enough that she wouldn't really gain anything from playing it. either way, it's no reason not to play it, and ultimately she should do what she wants to do, but also keep in mind that teachers tend to know where their students are at musically and just want to help them improve --- peanut butter and dick <cite>averagejoel posted [p:909455656] in I have a d...

I like the updated version. this is pretty standard vocal jazz. sara gazarek - after you've gone: you know how there are like 50 songs that get played over and over and over again by cover bands? the same thing applies to jazz. "After You've Gone" is one of those songs. most seasoned jazz musicians have played it hundreds of times. it's standard repertoire, and those tunes are called "standards" this particular version is very much in line with what Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme did they often treated the voice like an instrument and did solos on the same level as instrumentalists. this is also in the standard realm of vocal jazz. natalie cressman & secret garden - honeysuckle rose: Honeysuckle Rose is another jazz standard. this is very similar to some of the stuff like what Robert Glasper or Roy Hargrove would do with singers in the case of the latter, check out The RH Factor. some of Esperanza Spalding's music falls into this vein too hip-hop influenced jazz. Cyrille Aimee is another singer that you would probably dig. cecile mclorin salvant - nobody Sarah Vaughn. everything about this singer screams Sarah Vaughn to me. maybe start with her version of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and work from there. the last video isn't working for me, but it's the same singer and I imagine it's probably in a similar vein --- peanut butter and dick <cite>averagejoel posted [p:909479709] in I have a d...

I like the updated version. this is pretty standard vocal jazz. <quote>sara gazarek - after you've gone:</quote> you know how there are like 50 songs that get played over and over and over again by cover bands? the same thing applies to jazz. "After You've Gone" is one of those songs. most seasoned jazz musicians have played it hundreds of times. it's standard repertoire, and those tunes are called "standards" this particular version is very much in line with what Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme did they often treated the voice like an instrument and did solos on the same level as instrumentalists. this is also in the standard realm of vocal jazz. <quote>natalie cressman & secret garden - honeysuckle rose:</quote> Honeysuckle Rose is another jazz standard. this is very similar to some of the stuff like what Robert Glasper or Roy Hargrove would do with singers in the case of the latter, check out The RH Factor. some of Esperanza Spalding's music falls into this vein too hip-hop influenced jazz. Cyrille Aimee is another singer that you would probably dig. <quote>cecile mclorin salvant - nobody</quote> Sarah Vaughn. everything about this singer screams Sarah Vaughn to me. maybe start with her version of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and work from there. the last video isn't working for me, but it's the same singer and I imagine it's probably in a similar vein</quote> ...

I love the alternating and combining of playful melodies and the thick, rich Debussy harmony. not familiar with most of Beethoven's oeuvre other than his 5th and 9th symphonies and his string quartets also not super familiar with Ravel beyond Bolero, Pictures, and his string quartet, but I'll check it out Do you feel the strict form of the classical era or the personal expression of the romantic era lend itself more to creativity? I honestly don't know, nor do I particularly care. I tend to prefer Romantic music over Classical though. Why is La Mer the most beautiful piece of music ever composed?(well, imo) Debussy's use of different kinds of tonality (in this case, largely the diminished scale) without becoming completely atonal is really amazing. Favorite violin concerto Mendelssohn, Violin Concerto in E minor, OP. 64 Thoughts on Jelly roll Morton? Are you a ragtime fan? Do you like steely Dan? Thoughts on jazz fusion? Stanley Clarke or Victor Wooten? Jelly Roll Morton was extremely important in the early development of jazz, and I definitely appreciate his music. I've never really been into his music though, but that's just me. I like ragtime and have learned to play some stride piano. it's not my focus though, but I really like Scott Joplin. again, I haven't listened to much Steely Dan, but I really like what I've heard. I love how much their music comes from Duke Ellington if I recall correctly they actually had to credit him as co-composer of one of their songs. I think that, if Blues didn't regain popularity in the 50s, Steely Dan's style would probably have been the dominant sound in popular music I'm pretty into the jazz/hip-hop fusion. more than the rock stuff. it's kinda bullshit that it was left out of that Ken Burns documentary. there's a ton of material.
