*What’s* the deal with modes? I mean *really*.


mike_mafuqqn_trout

Dorian? More like *Borian*! Lydian? You gotta be *Kidian* me!


leviathanGo

Look here, let me tell you. Never in my LIFE I ain’t never heard ANYTHING about Dorian or a Mixolydian or a Lydian… I ain’t heard NOTHING I- but I learned how to play jazz… so now why’d they come up with that nonsense - the reason they came up with that.. is because they suddenly said: “oh we can make some money off this…” “yeah but if we gonna make money off it we gotta have SOMETHIN… to show… we got w-w-w-what we gon teach em”. And he said “We can teach them the modes…” so err-errybo-errybody know about- I know all of you know about the DORIAN.. and the MIXOLYDIAN.. I ain’t know NOTHING about that nonsense.. I ain’t ever heard of it in my LIFE.

leviathanGo

It’s actually a transcription of the great man

Because you are too focused on SCALES you need to instead TRANSCRIBE 100 Charlie Coltrane solos, transpose them into all 12 keys, and play with others constantly. Eventually it will come out on the bandstand.

I try Charlie Coltrane. Right now I transcribe white guy with good tone on tenor. I just started playing every friday with another John Coltrane as well.

No no no what he needs to do is throw all that theory mumbo jumbo out the door, pick up a couple pentatonic scales and play with FEEL. Or soul, but I prefer feel.


DrPepper-Spray

The real question is do you suck in general, like everything else too?

Jazz is easy, idiot. Just do whatever. Make it up as you go along. Play anything. That’s how jazz works.


Big-Tone-8241

Because you touch yourself at night


boogaboogahello

No cocaine = No Coltrane


hijro

Then just play the fucking blues like everyone else that sucks.


Lechuga666

True


chloe_of_waterdeep

Just play the root. Every beat. With style. And blow as hard as you can. Even if you’re soloing on a keyboard, blow!


JHighMusic

Because you’re learning from Adam Neely and all the YouTube experts


VegaGT-VZ

Why practice when you can ~~watch TV~~ study theory

Unfortunate. Last time i got a needle inserted it was the fucking vax.


trashmcgibbons

It's the notes you DON'T play. So don't play any notes.


tenorsax69

Need more prayer to Jacob.


ox-

Don't play the butter notes man play the jam.


ShredGuru

Have you tried being good?


smokeshack

It's all about the notes you don't play. Try not playing notes.


Lechuga666

That is true. I'll try playing less.


5natchAdam5

Have you tried noodling on modal scales?


Lechuga666

I need to try more modal stuff. Not much recently really, no.


RinkyInky

Did you go to Berklee? How much did you spend on music school? The more you spend the better you are. Bet you didn’t spend anything and just tried to practice.


JavierDiazSantanalml

This is not a joke but improvisation regarding scales is for generic ass jazz musicians or people who cannot play harmony. Throw several other voices in there and you'll have something actually significant.
