How do I get the beginning to end of your video's

[cm0220ster]

AThe last thing I'm going to say: a good practice should include the theory stuff, physical stuff (getting your hands to actually do this stuff) and the emotional/spiritual side, which to me is just playing and having a blast doing it. Three different paths all leading to the same road, but neglecting one at the expense of the other three and your playing suffers as a result. Again, thanks for posting.

[cm0220ster]

Great stuff. Of course this is theory, the technical stuff behind the music making. Practice at understanding and it only deepens your understanding. Then when you play, forget it but you'd be surprised by what comes about. In my opinion kind of necessary to move your playing to a higher level, particularly when you are talking about jazz. It's the breakdown - nobody thinks this way consciously when playing, it just flows because it's practiced until it becomes part of your playing.

Wow! I just subscribed.

[nachman613]

very nice stuff!

[PhilipPorter]

This isn`t music, this is maths!

Music theory confuses me.

[LfunkeyA]

@PhilipPorter

music is mathematics, fool

[PhilipPorter]

@LfunkeyA And here`s me thinking it was emotion... thanks for the information, oh and here`s a tip.

Instead of learning maths, try talking to real people and learn some social skills.

[LfunkeyA]

@PhilipPorter

son, don't be silly. music is mathematics. music is emotion. you do not have to separate the two. and here's a tip, don't give me tips if you don't even know me.

[PhilipPorter]

@LfunkeyA Don`t call me a fool if YOU don`t know ME you CUNT! Capiche?

[LfunkeyA]

@PhilipPorter

son, please. calm yourself down. of course you are a fool to believe that music has nothing to do with mathematics. just feel proud that you have learned something new. and please try to learn when being cocky is necessary, and when it is not.

[PhilipPorter]

@LfunkeyA Aah your just another little dick who thinks anyone with a different opinion is either a fool, a moron, a retard, whatever... Finish school and get a job, then a life, try and earn some respect and then we`ll see how clever you really are.

Maybe one day what you`ll have to say might actually count for something little boy.

[LfunkeyA]

@PhilipPorter

Your arrogance disappoints me, friend, but so does most people's. This doesn't have anything to do with who you are or who I am. Whether or not you are a better being is not the concern; the concern is that you thoughtlessly stated 'This isn't music, this is maths!'. Now, if you weren't serious about that, at least point it out. If you were, then you were a fool. Now you have learned, and have become a wiser person. Peace, love, and mind your language.

[PhilipPorter]

@LfunkeyA My arrogance? You really are a cunt. You call me a fool and pretend it is I that is arrogant.

Don`t call people a fool for having an opinion contrary to yours.

Peace, love and fuck off you cunt. Bye!

[LfunkeyA]

@PhilipPorter

denying that music is mathematics, is not an opinion, its a wrong statement. you need to learn the difference between fact and opinion. saying a wrong statement, and then continuously denying that you were wrong upon correction, is arrogant my boy, very arrogant. desiring to remain a fool is also arrogant. i accept all opinions. i do not accept false truths. become wiser. become nicer.

[PhilipPorter]

@LfunkeyA You really don`t belong here. People come here to express opinions. When you finish school get yourself a nice grey suit, a 9 to 5 office job and keep playing by numbers.

Oh and once in a while try smoking some ganja, you don´t have to remain a cunt all your life.

[LfunkeyA]

@PhilipPorter

son, express your opinions all you want, anywhere you want. your opinions are welcome here. your false understandings of facts are also welcome, and i will be glad to correct you and remind you that you are a fool in case you express them in an arrogant and exclamatory manner (as you have done so far). attempting to make me feel bad about myself will not help you in any way. and please, do not encourage drug use. drugs are unnecessary.

[tbcass]

@PhilipPorter Actually music is based on mathematics but the experience is based on the way it effects you emotionally. The mathematical component can open your mind to new areas of discovery but one must practice those areas until they become so ingrained in your psyche that they become instinct. Doing this will open yourself to new levels of creativity.

[journeyquest1]

@tbcass So what if you werent gifted with a mathmatical mind?

[tbcass]

@journeyquest1 The mathematical relationships behind harmonics is not complicated. Besides he's not using Math in the way a Math instructor would. Use your ears to sense the relationship.

[wesmatron]

@tbcass Yea, Mozart was fascinated by the mathematical aspect of music. He even used billiard balls to inject randomness to his compositions.

[MyNorthRaleighTutor]

@tbcass I would day music is 'based on' the way it affects you emotionally, but it can be described mathematically, and that can open your mind to new areas...

See "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" a book by Douglas Hofstadter for a great description of the interrelatedness of math and music.

[superagnitio]

@tbcass One of the best comments I've ever seen related to music. I'd buy you a beer mate, cheers!

[tbcass]

@superagnitio Thank you. I just based my post based on my own experiences in 38 years of playing. It's the way it worked for me. If you lived near me I would take you up on that beer. :-)

[superagnitio]

@tbcass UNless you live in Madrid ¡, Spain, it's gonna be rather complicated ;) Cheers
