As I’m sure you know, learn songs and lots of ‘em is one of the most important things you can do a player who, in fact, you really do. And the faster you learn, the better.But I mean really they are learning.
“Learn”, a tune completely absorbed in his ear and mind, the melody, changing the shape and pace to the point where you do not remember, while you play.
The first thing to do, of course, a song chosen. So make sure you select a melody, which is not too ridiculous for your skills at an advanced stage. You want a melody that you can really wrap your ears to choose.
They would then begin by placing a recording of the song sound base to get into the ears. Get a copy of the melody, the direction of the stock and look over. Are you an overview of the melody preserved. Looking for things like the shape, which key it is, and what the time signature.
Then cut it into pieces, break down, cut into small bite size pieces. Simplicity is king when it comes to practice jazz. So start with something like the first sentence, only the pitch, no rhythm. If simplicity is king, then repetition is king. Repeat the phrase over and over 4 times or more during playback. Then, repeat 4 times or more of memory after the hearing. Pay attention to the melodic form, the ratio of sounds to details of the other and other than the ear revealed slowly through repetition.
Then proceed to the next sentence. And so on. So you want to go back and work on larger pieces of the melody, like the first two sentences together, just in places. Repeat this procedure until you have memorized the entire melody, and it is easy to play by ear, without thinking. The more you repeat, the deeper it will be embedded in your ears and your mind.
Use the same method to go through the new agreements Keep it simple, maybe just two strings at once after adding the next. You can use just the basic notes of the chords first, then the guidance notes, then the base and so on. Repeat this procedure until the sound in the ears, and you do not believe that you play, listen and let your ears guide your body. Buy this exercise daily for one week and you have the melody. Consider once a week for several months, we call meetings and put it in your listening rotation.
As you learn more titles and more that you learn in a position to a new faster and faster. How will you improve your ears with this and become stronger and stronger, you will not break the melodies are just as much. Let your ears judge.
Once you have learned several or many melodies from lead foil and your ears are much more aware and more, you start to learn songs by ear from recordings or other musicians. Remember, this is the music. It’s the ears.
