How To Get The MOST Out Of Transcribing! [Twitch Q&A]

Here's a clip from my weekly Sunday Q&A segment on Twitch! Transcribing is often the most mystifying and ambiguous task we are always told to do when learning jazz - but why is it important, and at what point can we start benefiting from our transcriptions? One user asks this question, and I break down, at least an introduction to, some of the ways you can get the most out of transcribing beyond just the notes!

Anyone who has tried this honestly knows how hard it is, you have to contort EVERY part of your playing to actually "emulate" the sounds of the great players on recordings. Great little talk 👏

This is exactly what I needed to hear. As a beginner aspiring student of jazz and bepop I’ve been studying blues for Alice. Charlie is sooooooooooooooo good. His fluency and accuracy and decision making is a lesson in itself. I did intend learning his solo fully but as a guitarist some things are hard to imitate but as a beginner my concern was on the melody and trying to understand some aspect of the chords changing, which to me is harder than transcribing a solo but getting the chords down. I did cheat my way through some parts of the solo because that shit is hard but thanks for the extra insight! 7:21 very true it’s beautiful to hear but to play I noticed was a whoooole different story. Bird lives.You’re absolutely right….

This is sooooo true. I have only been playing for about 2 years now and the one solo I can play, is Erin Watts’s solo in Glenn Frey’s The one you love. I have been trying to master the dynamics and articulation. Knowing the notes is only about a 3rd of the knowing someone’s solo.

ive been transcribing guthrie govan this entire year and only got 2 solos of him (robben ford and larry carlton style ones on jtc) and i was ready to come into this video knowing i've fucked up somehow but im quite happy cause i see a lot of covers of guys playing it on youtube and they lack Dynamics, phrasing, timing etc etc and its been hard to learn these but im in a spot where i can almost play exactly like him and that makes me happy :D

@insidejazzguitar8112 6 ай бұрын

That made me think about what I love most about transcribing, which is getting into the heads of my heroes, like hearing their thoughts. Charlie Parker died long before I was born, but when I start transcribing, it is somehow like I’m in the room with him. Very intimate experience.

Thank you for discussing the importance of trying to be a copycat when transcribing. The best compliment I’ve gotten so far from my guitar teacher was he said he knew I was playing a Grant Green solo before he recognized the specific tune. I don’t want to always sound like Grant Green, but I’m glad I know how to and how not to.

Well, if nothing else at least I now know that even if my learning everything by ear is slow, it's certainly the best way to learn. Same for me not learning 12 pieces a year. At the moment I'm on 2, but those two I'm learning not just the notes, by how to play along with them so I can match the timings and where I can, the way the recording sounds -- if that makes a lick of sense 🤔 That said, I wish I had an easier time picking up on the deeper layers of the music I'm playing, but I'm guessing that's all stuff that will come in time and with practice xD

@stephengritzking 2 жыл бұрын

Hey bro quick question with this. Do you get all the details in phrasing articulation, dynamics, tone, etc, as you go, or do you get the notes under your fingers and then go back and incorporate all of the meaning within the phrases?

@chickenman7727 2 жыл бұрын

I second this question

@danielzza100 2 жыл бұрын

Well aware that you didn’t ask me, but here’s an answer to take or leave… I would say this: at first, obviously it will be hard to add any personality if you’re struggling to hear the notes, but as soon as you can play a phrase from start to end with the correct notes (even if it’s slower) you should be aiming to mimic the source as closely as possible. If you learn a whole solo ‘just the notes’ and then go back and try and add all the nuances that make the solo what it is, you’re adding a whole new process of correction. And, ghe whole time you’ve been playing the solo with just the notes, it’s not as though you’ve been playing it ‘neutral’ before adding in the soloists ‘colouring’, you’ve actually just been playing it with bad (or at the very least, inaccurate) feel. save yourself the time, and help train your ears quicker - play it verbatim, as much as possible. Hope this is of some help.

Hey, newb question here. I remember watching you transcribe a cannonball recording for your viewers on a livestream and I was wondering do you write down your transcriptions or just commit them to memory without writing it down? And if you do write it down, do you do it after memorizing the entire piece/solo(s) or while you learn it bar by bar or every couple of bars? Thanks.

@TheWereStick 2 жыл бұрын

Is it a good idea to slow down parts where you can not get all the notes or expressions? And also to start learning the solos more effiently and then gradually return to the correct tempo? I'm starting to learn my instrument and at least it is helping me understanding and learning the whole process little by little.

@xxczerxx Жыл бұрын

It's prob ok but I would recommend always keeping an eye on the original tempo, it becomes a lot easier to get 'lost' in the overall solo if you're only listening to the thing slowed down. Going back to original speed helps you bear in mind the articulation/phrasing/articulation in the correct context.
