I’ve considered lessons off an on. I’m slowly learning more and more all the time but I’d love to be able to “properly” play. One day…
I have Disney plus bundled with Hulu and still haven’t watched it 🤦🏻♂️
expecting that fulfil max 1 item from that list and that would be considerede as huge success lol
I've bought myself a cheap Squier Telecaster for xmas, so that I can have a second guitar to mess with alternate tunings. So my goal is to explore the world of alternate tunings. To start with I'm going to borrow a couple from Sonic Youth.
Three things that are absolutely not for me:
Maybe one and two are linked, who knows?
Did I mention I don't like Jazz?
My thoughts are not to overthink things. I quite like the idea of making music with specific restraints (such as make a tune just using Logic on the iPad without swapping to the Mac, start a song on the Circuit, or make a tune with just one chord all the way through) but those are just plans for song starters when I have nothing else to work on.
So yeah. I plan to just go with the flow and not try and make up ways of putting unnecessary pressure on myself.
And to let any initial plans go off on any direction they feel like... Unless it's Jazz.
My main plan for the year is to not listen to or make any Jazz. ;-)
@klownshed does that dislike of Jazz even extend to Kind Of Blue? It’s a hard album to hate on 😉
2024 is for me lined up to be moving on from the baby steps of returning to the trumpet. This really started in 2022 where I picked up the instrument and messed a bit with effecting it, but 2022 was heavily focused on us moving house. Earlier this year, I played a little, and popped along to watch a local open mic, with the thought of working up something electronic-and-trumpet. However, I then started practicing, and that has gained real focus since around September, when I found some jazz-oriented method books (by Eric Bolvin who sadly passed away earlier this year), and currently I practise 5 days a week. Then last week I went down to the post-swing-dance-class at a local bar and played a little (I have history in playing in big bands). Post this I’ve bought the Quartet 1 and 2 apps and I’m about to start working on some tunes which the swing jam rhythm section know, or can maybe be persuaded to learn. Time to study Pops! Alongside this I’m also intending to do a bit with processed trumpet and see where that leads in a more electronica/experimental vibe.
@michael_m I’m guessing you’re a fairly early-stage trumpet leaner? If you think talking over what to practise or any difficulties you’re having feel free to get in touch!
Create more music, covers and my own stuff, and do it in more quantity than before to learn and get more experience.
Maybe try to figure out what kind of singing my voice suited for.
Listen to more music.
/DMfan🇸🇪
I have a small list
1. Experiment more with sound design & creating my own sounds.
2. Study music theory on a daily basis
3. Learn coding
4. Post music online (I really need to share more)
5. Get professional help for compulsive app downloading or finally sit down and have fun with something undiscovered
6. Record my beat making process and share with others (I hate sharing that side. Maybe I’m selfish or overprotective of the recipe lol)
To reach goals from the 2023! 😳
Yes, I can play in the lower register in certain keys, but really need to learn how to reach higher notes and get used to the fingering to play in more keys.
I’d definitely appreciate any tips on how to practice increasing the range I can comfortably play in.
Hadn't thought about it, but it's a good opportunity to lay down some goals. Okay:
New Year’s resolutions…
1 More GeoShred practice and complete more lessons on Justin Guitar (90% of the lessons work fine for GS)
2 Complete half a dozen tracks that I’ve had on the back burner for about 6 months… they’re difficult 😞
3 Finish learning how to play the two pieces of sheet music I’ve been half heartedly learning for the same 6 months.
Kind of nice to see so many ‘buy fewer apps and learn to use what I have’ comments. Feels like more people are getting tired of the whole compulsive buying of new musical tools. I also feel that exposure to too many apps is becoming a hindrance in my musical development at this point, rather than an aid.
Good god. You monster. 😂 You don't like Jazz? (Okay that's fair. I'm obsessed with Jazz, so you're definitely talking to the wrong dude regarding that genre. 🤣 )
Ah that's cool.
Me I'm the sort who prefers to go with the flow and finish up a track quickly while retaining some sort of variety in the piece. My mind is like "one at a time".
Good. No need to put pressure on oneself.
Oh jeez lol! 🤣 Don't be afraid of 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths in your chords.
Well you must make sure to listen to one Jazz album. Now Miles Davis is very soft, smooth and smoky Jazz. That definitely will not be up your alley. But Vince Guaraldi is the guy who created the Peanuts theme, which is Jazz but is far more accessible and listener-friendly to folks who don't really care for Jazz.
The work Vince did with his trio is tremendous as is his work with Brazilian guitarist Bola Sete.

Ever since I dug deeper into Vince's discog, the more I realised he's far more than simply the Peanuts composer (although his work on Peanuts is genuinely brilliant in its own right). I've stolen a few of his riffs and incorporate them into my live piano stylings.
One thing I love about Jazz is the sheer freedom. It's not stiff Western Classical music where everything is beholden to "performing the music correctly". As a Classically trained pianist, when I took Jazz lessons, it was a "game changier".
Jazz isn't about "playing the right notes". It's truly all about going with the flow, matching the vibe. Bro, one time I was visiting my local music shop, and local legend Berkeley Fudge so happened to be there. Without even rehearsing, he and I jammed out to "Green Onions" and brought down the house. F--king magical! 🥹
Trust me mate, I used to not understand Jazz, but as I grew older, the more it started making sense to me. I love Jazz. It's why when I learned to make Lofi mid-November 2022, it came easy to me. I knew how to extend those triads like a boss, to avoid using the fifth in a chord that extends beyond the 7th, etc.
Keep going Jim, and eventually we will have him listening to Ornette Coleman’s ‘Free Jazz’ and Peter Brötzmann’s ‘Machine Gun’.
Recently I’ve gotten into playing gigs and I love it. So for next year
1. Play at as many public gigs as possible.
2. Learn to DJ my own tracks (and others) at clubs on big CDJ controllers.
3. Make more than $9 annually playing gigs 😂
I followed a load of Justin Guitar lessons during the first lockdown. I’m really surprised that they translate to GS! Is there a particular type of guitar playing lessons that do so? Great stuff that it’s possible 👍
This year’s music goals: make some. Often, if possible.
Just noticed you posted this. Same here - I want to finish learning these two that I keep making excuses for not dedicating time to:
I think both would be really cool to be able to play without the sheet music, but I just need to focus and put the time in.
I started off with his one minute changes app I.e. how many chord changes can you do in a minute. That really helped.
All the theory, chord shapes, scales, modes, blues licks and songs etc lessons work just fine.
Fingering for chords is different. Strumming and picking are the least relevant but some of the timing suggestions are handy.
Overall it’s a tremendous resource and the vast majority of lessons are free.
I do dip into other YT resources such as QJamTracks, Jans Larsen, Howard Hart and Steve Stine to mention a few.
Sorry forgot to tag @BillS 😊
Yep 👏 I will still buy the occasional app (like the new K Devices one) but I’m done with the compulsive buying. I’ve been focusing solely on making music lately and it’s been much better. Also I’m saving for the 404 so I need to buckle down anyway. The only app I really still want is MixBox.
Or the Black Saint and Sinner Lady
I don’t like it. Sorry. I don't like the sound of it. I don't like the accompaniment at all. The piano playing is the kind of playing that annoys me. There are certain pieces of music where the overall sound palette just instantly resonates with me and I want to hear more and listen to all the details. Jazz gives me the opposite feeling.
It's not about not understanding it. It's about not liking the sound. I do tend to have an aversion to 33 notes where 3 will do yes, but I am not so hard headed that I don't like something just because I don't understand it. There's something about the sound of jazz I don't find it relaxing. It's just the feeling you get when you hear certain sounds.
Jazz is fingernails on a blackboard to me. That's just the overall sound, let alone the too many notes at the same time or interminable solos that just sound like showing off.
And the chord progressions, like those in Kind of Blue, do nothing for me. It just sound clever for the sake of it to me.
Also, solo trumpets and saxophones are other sounds I tend to dislike -- not always, there are always exceptions -- but the way they're played in jazz just sets off the wrong neurons in my brain.
Sounds like a challenge. :-)
I'm not. The odd oddth can sound lovely. I'm very much in favour of them used sparingly.
Less is more.
I see you’re already down with Miles.
One immediate goal is to GET CLEAR on my goals!
It hit me the other morning that the desire to be come a solid guitarist, a strong bassist, an iOS musician, a DAWLESS musician, an OP-1 musician, an MPC musician have had a tool or instrument as a focal point. Even the DAWLESS goal is defined by the tool.
I want to focus more on writing songs, and thinking less often about tools, except in how they serve the purpose of writing songs and having sounds in them that authentically reflect my "vision" for the song.
Well there’s no piano to hate on either album…
@klownshed Now I'm definitely curious as to what your favourite genre(s) is/are.
