Jeff is a great bass player who teaches great! He has the humility to understand that we all need to start out as beginners, and he never forgets this.

Jeff ... for someone who is severely accomplished as you are I must say that these videos are just manna from heaven. Not too many thin-air musicians who can speak in beginner's tongue. Really hope you can sell some trainings and build that retirement stream.

I sent a student I’m teaching to your channel, and it’s really done well for him. The biggest thing that he’s taken from it is the mentality, that mistakes are ok, and we all learn slowly. “Take your time, and trust the process, and you will improve” is what really resonates with him, and with me. My take on it is “Hard work + Consistency = Improvement” not ability, or success, improvement, that’s what matters when learning music. Thank you for your contributions to music education.

As a deaf bassist, transcribing music by ear is out of the question for me. But I appreciate all your lesson posts and the visual aids that go a long way to helping me learn academically. Thanks.

I’m a pianist (I started bass last year, actually) and I’ve done some transcriptions here and there in the past but I’ve been searching around KZitem to find help with transcribing. What a short and sweet but beautiful gem this lesson is!!!

Thank you so much for this lesson. I've been playing classical piano for 40 years and it's only now when I've picked up a guitar that I've realised a whole section of my music training has been missed - ear training! I have been so focused on playing dots on paper that I've never stopped to LISTEN to the notes I'm playing or learn to recognise them. Thanks for your humour and breaking it down to this most simplistic level to show us where to start. I was so happy when I picked up my guitar and was able to do this after only 3 tries! I would love to know how you knew it was an octave, an octave from what? The first note or from the 2nd note but I have downloaded an ear training interval identification app so hopefully that will come.

Much better than trying to find a tab or transcription. Before youtube and tab books most musicians went through this process song after song after song. learning to read music is a valuable, but a different skill. You can absolutely develop your ear.

You are so correct! This is a WAY, WAY better to do this instead of tab or transcriptions. In fact, you can't even compare the two experiences in regards to personal musical benefit. Doing what I demonstrated above, hands-down, is a superior way to do this kind of practice.

This is really great for a number of reasons. For one, you removed the curtain and know how to translate/mimic for us the process a beginner would need to do. You also assure us that this is how pros do it too, there's no secret or trick, it's just doing the work and looping the music. I've been trying to transcribe a song and it's really hard to find the notes, especially in complicated/congested stuff, will keep working on it.

I’m forcing myself away from tab (yeah, I know) and trying to use my ears properly for the first time in years. I have learned more doing this way than from years of bad tab. I guess it’s all part of the learning process. I still struggle with reading notation but my ear has definitely improved.

Lovely, Jeff. As someone who went a long way and built a good career [for quite some time] in music doing *everything* by ear, I can double vouch this folks. Now of course, after a hiatus of too many years I'm ba-a-ck having cleared the desk completely with one agressive sweep of the arm, humbled out...and started over at "go" w/o collecting two hundred $$. So this is a reinforcement to moi indeed, to keep on plowing in the right direction even when I don't feel like it. --Cheers, Dion.

Hi Jeff, this is all good, but this is a transcription of the top notes (in this case Trumpet). And top notes are the ones that you here and can sing. But how about bass, when it is played with other instruments, especially walking bass, which you here the worst and also confuse when singing with the Top voice? How to transcribe bass played in a Jazz trio? Thank a lot for your help, Alex

@lumpyjazz

Could be! I wondered about this as well. I took into consideration two things: 1. Miles might have played a glitch. and 2. Since the chord is D-7, a C is a much more logical note for him to have chosen to play. In transcription, occasionally, some notes aren't clear. So you have to use your already developed sense of harmony and come up with the best guess that you can arrive at. Ultimately doing this isn't a negative because you used your ear the best you could and came to the best note choice you could arrive at. Just stick with the harmony (the chords) and you should be pretty OK!
@digitalworkshops7240
6 жыл бұрын
lumpyjazz I agree with you. Knowing the fact that Miles would play whatever note he wants and make it sound good even if it is outside the harmony I was wondering. But you are probably right.
