Hi everyone, thanks again for joining the livestream!
This thread is a place to observe, reflect, and learn from each other as we explore the same idea: Listening. I've included a brief overview of what was discussed in the stream below. You can watch/review the full stream on the Guitar Wisdom playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLENaipLZZvuSe09K52-fo1VPMLrWfJa46
The idea: Listening - Deep listening or listening like a musician is a skill that can be developed over time and a process that can greatly influence your playing. Sometimes it is listening over and over again while truly feeling the groove or emotion of the song; other times, it is transcribing and studying a song in great detail. The idea is that when you hear a song so many times and pay attention to what's going on in the music, you internalize it, you gain experience, and you learn something.
Tomo's Examples: A "great example" is a "short, organized, tight" song. A song that makes you feel something and is clear/simple enough to transcribe.
- Everyday I Have The Blues (sense of phrasing)
- Blue Monk (sense of rhythm)
- Amazing Grace (sense of melody and space)
Each song has something different to teach you. The process is how you gain experience. Mistakes are welcome.
I'm sure I am missing a few important points, but I'll have to review the stream :)
I know we didn't get to answer every question in the chat, so please add your questions and comments to this thread.
Reminder: We are here to help each other! Be kind to yourself, share honestly, and don't be afraid to share something you found helpful. Together, we can learn better.
Have a great weekend!
