Lunch With Pancho Villa - Transcription

BarryK 14 October 2008

I started transcribing David Friedman's "Lunch with Pancho Villa" from the video in the "Check This Out" link, above.

I am having difficulty with the sticking on the 3rd line and can't make it out in the video. Suggestions would be appreciated. Corrections are appreciated also.

Attached are the LilyPad input and the PDF output files.

Thanks,
Barry

Tjaco Oostdijk's Bio

Biography Tjaco Oostdijk
On the 7th of January I was born in Goes (a small town in the south of holland). When I was about 7 years old I got my very first drumlesson from my uncle and since then I was hooked on the drums. After some lessons with my uncle I started playing snare drum with the local drum band and shortly after that began studying classical percussion and drums at the local music school.

Beginning first with only snare drum and timpani and later on moving more and more towards playing the drumset.

Solo Transcriptions

tjaco 12 October 2008

Learning to play jazz is learning from the great players that played before us. In this section there will be transcriptions of great solos by great jazz players. Not only vibraphone solos, but all instruments. The idea is that you check what transcriptions are here and then first transcribe it yourself. When you transcribe, the best way is to learn the solo while you play along. This takes time but you will develop your ears more this way.

Quite a Few Professors Here, Anyone Interested

tonymiceli 10 October 2008

So I see a bunch of University Professors here and some have been hanging out quite a bit.

I would love to try some stuff with all this technology with your percussion department. I think we're ready to design an online jazz course, we can certainly do workshops.

In fact if a few of you 'guys' wanted to test things out, we could meet online and I could show some stuff. I've been using Skype and Ichat to teach lessons all over the world, and so far so good! There's also a few other sites which deliver video and have chat rooms.

Pimp My Tune

tonymiceli 10 October 2008

I decided to do a series of analysis of tunes.

I decided to call this series 'Pimp My Tune', and I think you could definitely call this 'Ghetto Analysis'. I did go to college, but I was interested in playing and learning off the street. What was great about that was I got a lot of interesting perspectives on tunes and harmony, from some great musicians. It was amazing that in school everything was made to seem difficult and on the street everything was made to seem easy. At least that's how I perceived it all.
