    The world isnt ready for me to do a double time solo in a cut time signature

    A concept that wasn't obvious to me when I was first starting is that true 8th notes are typically swung, but 16th note lines are typically with straight (or very close to straight) 16th notes. Taking a long 2-5-1 lick and playing with a triplet subdivision makes it feel just like a normal 8th note line. But if you simply straighten the line out, it immediately takes on a 16th note feel.

    Thank you so much ! I'm finishing up my undergrad in Performance and music ed. I realized even in improv classes there's not enough on how to work up double-time. I'm excited to try this !

    Nice explanation, awesome examples, helpful advice! Thank you for the great content.
    I have a question, how does the M-Series compare to the daddy-o or the Meyer? Are you playing a 5? I have a 7 M-Series and the resistance was somewhat of a turnoff even though it sounds great. Would love to hear your thoughts. You sound great!

    Was just wondering at 7:33 are you just playing straight 8 notes or is swing or shuffle feel to it?

  • @Laura-wg5jk
    @Laura-wg5jk Před 8 měsíci +2

    Hmm...getting hung up here and admittedly somewhat weak on theory. Can you clarify if the 1 chord is C7 as shown - I usually see it as Cmaj7 (I think...). Thanks, as always, Dave. Good stuff.

    • @DavePollack
      @DavePollack  Před 8 měsíci +2

      For a regular 12 bar blues the I chord is dominant 7, not major. You *could* have it as major 7, but it’s usually dominant.

    Took 18 minutes to say that playing a double time line is basically just a long 251 sped up. Absolutely genius. Love the videos man ❤
    Edit: this was not meant to be sarcasm, really great teaching and comprehensive work

    thank you for your work, Now it's a question of articulation it's not "easy" to articulate or swing if you could teach about this?

    • @peterjones9584
      @peterjones9584 Před 8 měsíci +1

      Yeah, the most unclear thing for me about playing double time is articulation... My tongue is slower than my fingers :/
