In this video you're going to learn a powerful jazz practice technique used by all the masters and pros. A technique that can mean the difference between musical mastery and musical mediocrity. You've probably heard of it. In fact you probably think you use it. But there's a pretty good that you're doing wrong. In this video we're going to change that.

First, I've got a couple of quick questions.

Are there any areas of music that you perpetually struggle with? Like a certain tune, a certain meter, a melody, a solo, a concept. Anything.

Are you frustrated by a slow rate of progress? Do sometimes feel like you're getting better at all?

Do you ever feel unsure certain music? Like someone calls a tune at a jam session and you think you know it, you've played it 100 times, and yet you worry whether you'll pull it off or not.

Well, here's the deal. You may think that these struggles have something to do with talent. We've all known that player who seems to be way ahead of the pack. It all just seems to come easy to them. It must be talent, right. It's not.

A quote unquote talented musician that seems to progress with music faster than everyone else has really just learned how to practice in a way that gets fast results. And that's what this video is all about. Musical success is not about talent. Unless your another Mozart, It's about using and applying the right skills and practice habits. So by learning these skills and by applying these skills you are basically creating your own talent.

  • Wow, a real insight, people have often complimented me on my 'talent' and I have refused to agree saying' I have no talent I just practice hard'. Well I am no Mozart, but now I realise that I AM talented and that my talent has been derived from my hard work practicing. This video has given me a new insight to my own capability. I am now determined to build on my talent using these practice techniques, it has inspired me to take my music to a new level. Thank you.

  • I´m sure this is great, but 80% to much talk

  • As an experienced guitarist and an alto sax beginner this sounds like profoundly good sense to me. But not just as a practice philosophy... Just as there are too many guitar shredders (well actually it neatly seperates out the noobs!...) much jazz can sound too cluttered to many ears - losing esp. the beautiful sonority of the sax. Vinnie Colaiuta also famously practices drums in slow mo without kit or sticks! So yes, a great method which is refreshing for the ears and the mind.

  • Slow is the word - if you can't do it slow and in place you can't do it fast ! too many play too fast too soon and fuck up. Right on my man, you understand. I run a weekly jam and my biggest problem is the fast who have never done slow !!

  • @3dgod

    Can you put some vidoes up?

  • Good lesson!

  • SORRY BUT SOUNDS LIKE BULL TO ME I KNOW TALENTED PEOPLE THAT NEVER PRACTICE INCLUDING ME
