In this video, I go over how I learn how to swing rhythms as a beginner! It can be very perplexing and seem like a daunting task...but the key is to not over analyze it...just do the work :)

I think I have the reverse problem, my ideas in my head include swing rhythm, but I am trying to perform them with sequencers and modular synthesizer gear and I'm having a difficult time figuring out the logic. It would probably help if I learned how to read music properly. :) Great video, thank you. I appreciate you sharing!

After my bass teacher painstakingly playing the same concepts with straight and swing feel for over an hour - a very frustrating one for both of us, I am sure - and listening to more swing music and explanation videos that visualize the notes and durations, I come here and once again think: I don't hear any difference at all. It drives me absolutely crazy, as I know the theory behind it and I can to some extent replicate it, but my ears just don't 'get it'. For all the frivolity of the style, it just wants me bash my instrument against the wall.

I'm about to go into college and I have to play from the cool fugue section in west side story. I play flute. I've been arguing for years that flutes and clarinets should at least be able to participate in some sort of jazz ensemble in high school. My school didn't allow that because finding music for those instruments in the jazz category is hard and expensive. So now I'm learning how to swing on my own. This video was very helpful on what swing style really is.

I like practicing an exercise improvising only using eight note triplets (if the tempo isn’t too fast). I feel like this helps me slot my swing eight note lines when I switch back. That’s just been my experience though.

Phenomenal video. Investigating, "what is swing," will bring any seeker to the intersection of science and art. I personally didn't truly learn to swing until I played with other players at Ortlieb's Jazz Haus in North Philly back in the late 90s. I believe that this is the easiest way to anchor swing into a player's intuitive flow: get the transmission from those that came before. I'm lucky and am able to bring this to white hippy folks in psychedelic rock. Lol - they don't know what hit them.

My teacher extended my swing technique by teaching back tounging some time back.

So can it not be logically written down?

Hi! I apologize for trying to sell ice to the Eskimos, but the swing feeling is not a technique, but part of the prosody of English language - in the original in its African-American version. And as such, it should be studied only by ear. It's worth listening to Satchmo's speech.
