Jazz... it's not that i'm good at it already (i'm still learning) but to learn jazz you need to....

Read about jazz ( jazz books are hard to find here... it's either you go abroad or better yet, download ebooks  )

Listen to Jazz (listen intently... take note of each player's style and also take note of the differences of each type of jazz)

Play Jazz (this is the hard part specially if you are too young to have jazzaholic friends. if this is the case then you are probably  stuck (like me) with progheads(no offense.. i like prog too but, i wanna play jazz.. hehe), yngwie malmsteen worshippers, double peds fanatics and all those fast-paced action music lovers

 

[jazhombie]

there's nothing wrong with prog, i think jazz and prog has this tandem specially on fusion gnres.. allan holdsworth came from a prog. band nung 70's.. yngwie ok din, note choices nya ay the best compared sa ibang neo-classic players.. neoclassical pag tinugtog mo sa jazz, magiging gypsy jazz-sort of thing..

[Cressin]

OT:

I totally agree.. there is nothing wrong with prog. I myself am a bit of a prog fan. My point on my post is that the younger generation today tends to lean more on progressive rock than on jazz... So it really is harder for young lads like me to get to learn jazz since it is hard to find people our age who are in to jazz and are willing to play jazz.

believe it or not i listen to jazz 16 hours a day, i'm just kinda hooked up with that lifestyle, masarap eh. so for me to learn jazz is to LISTEN!

u can achieve more from just being urself than thinking u're someone else u're not, some r technically fluent & more experienced than u, so what? u can only do what u can so make d most out of it. embrace d fact that u're urself, u'll feel better. feel what u're doing and start from there, listen and communicate with other musician too because that's one of d reason u're there. most important thing: GROOVE

[william251082]

also one of the most import thing on learning jazz is to play with other musicians. so get out of ur practice room and play, communicate, listen and groove with other musicians! as soon as u get ur ego out of the way the sooner u'll be a better musician!
