just your opinion

Nah fam this ranking is an objective, self-evident, universal fact jk

No, but you're right. It's just my opinion! It's a post just to start discussion and troll each other a bit.

where is bass guitar

it's in B! Next time i'll use a standard 4 string bass

do one based on upvotes in comments

Yeah my plan is to take the comments into account and do a V2 in a couple weeks. But maybe doing a dedicated post would have been a better idea!

Perhaps you are right. Unfortunately I've forgotten lots of the linguistics of Spanish :(

In Mexican Spanish, you would default to formal 'you' in most public interactions (although not all people do this). You would also use formal language when talking to a teacher or an authority.

  • Formal 'you' (singular): usted
  • Formal and informal 'you' (plural): ustedes
  • Informal 'you' (singular): tú

Note that the informal and formal 'you' in plural are the same.

Fun fact: formal language in Spanish is more than just formal 'you'.

E.g., if you're working at a fancy shop and wanted to ask a customer "how may I help you?", you would say "¿en qué le puedo ayudar?" (formal) instead of "¿en qué te puedo ayudar?" (informal). This question does not have 'you' in Spanish.

Hey thanks for the input lol i'll incorporate it into v2


Flugel above trumpet is weird

Yeah, I see what you mean. I'll put both in C.

French Horn and Bagpipes should share a tier. A low one.

Yeah I think I'll add bagpipes to E?

Vibraphone should be above flute

This is a mildly hot take I think. For me vibes were borderline C already. If someone has opinions on this please comment to resolve it lol.

Mic / vocals should be lower. Jazz vocals is an oxymoron [hot take!]

VERY hot take. Very curious to hear what others feel about this???

Vocals are very controversial among the jazz community lmao but I'm firmly in the "vocals are great" camp (not that I want to hear vocals all the time, it's just like how I don't want to listen to trumpet or whatever all the time).

Why are all the saxes tenor?

Why’s your bass guitar got 5 strings? Jaco only needed 4

I will fix these in v2!

Wow that first video is so good. He's swinging pretty hard there, love it. Thanks for sharing!

[–] AbsolutePain@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

LMAO this will be in v2 for sure

What should I change/add? I'll make a v2 based on comments.

Obviously this is a lighthearted, semi-joke post lol.

Made with the combo setting in mind. Big band maybe requires a different list.

Sorry to necrobump but I just did this to my Lemur (lemp11) running COSMIC and it also fixed the issue. Thanks!

We just released our first music video!

Please give it a listen, and if you have time, share some thoughts. We want to know what you think! :)

It was our first time at the studio, so lessons were learned. It's also our first time doing a music video lol (used kdenlive on Linux, it was a bit painful because I've never done this kinda thing, but I think next time it'll be easier).

 

Are jazz guitarrists able to play a song in a "solo guitar" setting without arranging in advance, just from a lead sheet?

I'd appreciate any advice from jazz guitarrists on how to develop this skill.

As a beginner guitarrist, I can appreciate the craft that goes into playing a bassline, chord melodies, all at the same time on just six strings, while also stablishing a groove. It would blow my mind if people can improvise all that on the spot.

 

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about, the one just before the solos.

What do you call sections like that? Tutti, interlude, "the crazy part"?

The only other example I know, apart from Chick Corea, is "Las Pulgas Freeway" Eugenio Toussaint. If you know other examples please do share :D

 

What are modern tunes that might become jazz standards? E.g., songs that are being played in your local jazz scene, at your school, etc.

Not necessarilly universally acknowledged as standards, I'm just curious what modern tunes are fun to play in a jazz setting. Stuff like Strasbourg / St. Denis, videogame and movie soundtracks, etc.
