  • Sounds just like the Steve Vai break in the "Bledsoe Blvd" song

  • @stdelcambre

    my thoughts exactly.

  • @TommittajaFIN

    Well i listened to that track a minute ago to see if it somehow grasped my subconscious and bled through somehow over the years. The only similarities I see are vocal doubling of an instrument and odd tonalities. The tonalities and rhythmes are very different.

  • It sounds kind of like a cross between Schoenberg and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Very nice.

  • great ,..n nice ..

  • I love how there is a metronome going and he's just completely ignoring it.

  • @ironledtallicafloyd9

    Yep. Isn't that great!!! It's the best part!!!

    Na. Actually I'm with the metronome it's just extremely odd timing.

    There are alot of dotted sixteenth notes and 16th note rests even 32nd note rests.

    If you notice I'm right with the qaurters of the metronome when I do the chords.

    I have the first minute of it scored out for flute and piano. It's on my 10 Wise myspace page.

  • I can play and sing like that too, never had a lesson or even held a guitar.

  • @TheJomogogo no, you dont.

    this guy knows to play the guitar.

  • @TheJomogogo Do you think it's that simple? To hold guitar and play random notes? Well, you're wrong:)

  • @wojtekmetal

    Look buddy. I'm singing the notes along with it. Anyway if you want to hear that it's not random I scored it out for flute and piano. You can hear it on

    my space dot com slash 10wise

    along with many other rock jazz fusion pieces

  • @wojtekmetal

    Sorry about that @wojtekmetal I meant to be addressing @TheJomogogo on that last one.

  • hmm I'm not convinced this is purely atonal... there are some passages it sounds very tonal

  • Well it is not a twelve tone row or anything.

  • also I`m not really sure what was the point of singing... from what I`ve heard the song is mostly homophony, the vocals bring nothing to the table...

  • Well this is a common doubling of notes done in jazz and blues. It's no supposed to be harmonic.

  • Very good!

  • brilliant /quirky movement  you should put more up

  • jajajajaj this is awsome.. not every one has the balls to say what they really think about jazz... but if u really pay atenttion and hear jazz for a while u´ll sudenly start to undestand whats going on... jejeje jazz musicians are NEVER playing randomly trying to fit chords.... (at least not the famous ones!) jajajajaj hugs!

  • Someone has finally put Zappa to rest & McLaughlin to reading tab. This is Jazz in its purest form. Would blow Miles a new spit valve & put many a splinter in The Birds beak. I thought I was the next Great thing waiting to be discovered but intervalkid has humbled me & the entire Jazz community beyond measure.

  • Wonderful! I have the first minute of this scored out for flute with piano accompaniment. It is called Abstract no.1 for flute and piano. It is rediculously difficult to read though considering the liberal use of dotted 16th notes and rests likewise. Tons of note barring.

    Other unconventional things such as beggining quarter note triplets on the upbeat of 1 make it very tricky.

  • Awesome!!!!!

    If you guys seriously think this is random and are so jealous and afraid of this that you seriously claim I am sliding up after being flat then I must be doing something somewhat new! Which I am always trying to do. I guess I've succeeded!!!!

  • This is um. Crap.

  • So that was my friend who posted those comments. I'm going to have to agree with him. Jazz in school is a joke? How? He's a fourth year music student. I'd be more inclined to believe him rather than you. How can you defend this garbage? You're playing random notes and chords. Your voice is flat to every note you strike. Get your head out your ass. I've seen your other sloppy videos, you just need to practice a lot more dude, "go to school."

  • Why did you delete my comment, are you afraid that someone will read it? You know you are int he wrong, right?

  • I didn't delete it. I replied to it a few days ago just forgot to approve it.

    In the wrong? You are one seriously arrogant jackass! WTF?

  • interesting, my Kurt Rosenwinkel comment was deleted. He sings with his playing all the time, and writes great brilliant stuff.

  • reminds me a bit of Kurt Rosenwinkel

  • First of all, your "relative pitch", not "perfect pitch" is far from spot on, you are flat on almost every note and merely tuning to the note after it has been struck. Second, your improv consists of no discernable phrases or motifs... there is nothing that is developed upon in this excerpt. Please don't act like you have any clue what Jazz is.. It's rather annoying when people just chalk up anything that is foreign to them as "Jazz". Go to school.

  • Jazz in school is a joke! Study theory. It's funny that I merely tune my voice to a string of triplets after they are struck. Wow! I must have quick reflexes! There are tons of phrases in this. If your ear is to used to diatonicism to discern an atonal phrase then you have a problem.

    I have played jazz with Pittsberge Jazz Legends Kenny Fischer, and Gerald "Shotgun" Hayman, as well as Ken Foley (a professor of jazz drums) and we shook it. So don't tell me I can't play jazz.

  • I bet you have to stick to the basic chord progressions of a piece or use "Coltrane changes" or you get scared that you appear as though your messing up. You probably think a secondary funtion is an advanced concept. This may be foreign to you but it is not foreign to me. You are one quick to judge which in my experience is the game of jealousy.

    Go listen to some Kenny G or something else that your ear can take.

  • thats amazing. you either have perfect pitch or have been eartrained on guitar veeery well. are you actually improvising, or are you using a tone row?

  • Just straight improv. The video was 15 minutes thus the edits. I didn't figure anyone would want to listen to fifteen minutes of it and I don't think it would fit the Youtube format.

    I haven't been eartrained perse. I think I may have perfect pitch but it isn't trained to the point where I can say "oh, that is an F#"

  • its good that you're expressing yourself, but this has nothing to do with jazz.

  • How do you figure? Do you think jazz has to have a II-V-I chord progression? How do you define jazz?

  • cool!!

  • thats disturbing..

  • What is disturbing? The transition of tonalities perhaps?

  • the harmony is disturbing. good for a horror movie :)

    btw, you have good aural skills!!
