Episode 3.1 - The Cost of Living - Michael Brecker‘s solo

Hello everyone,

This is Mirko Guerrini, and I welcome you to the Jazz Transcription Clinic LIVE, a variation of the podcast of the monthly interview where we talk with accomplished jazz doctors about their lives, careers and their personal transcription secrets.

On this episode of the Jazz Transcription Clinic Podcast Live, I am transcribing in real-time Michael Brecker's solo on the song The Cost of Living, as played on the album 'Michael Brecker'.

I am using the platform Soundslice to transcribe it.

In the video, I am walking you through the functions of Soundslice and show how to produce a complete and accurate transcription. Soundslice is a web platform specifically designed to transcribe music. You can loop sections, you can slow it down and then you can immediately write the notes down on the platform. It is really convenient because you can save your work and access it at a later time from anywhere. You can create a free account or pay a small membership to have access to more features.

I am also walk through the whole transcribing process, with some tips and advice on how to make the most out of it.

 

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which this podcast is being recorded. I pay my respect to their Elders, past and present, and the Aboriginal Elders of other communities who may be here today.

My sole aim with this video is to teach how to transcribe solos for personal study and development on one's own musical instrument. Transcribing music, as I explain in this video and in my podcast “is one of the most efficient ways to improve all your auditory skills”. Transcribing is also important because your tone, your time, your motivic development, your improvisation will all instantly improve. Please consider that transcribed scores of copyrighted music might represent in your own country an infringement to current laws, if and when used during concerts or similar. I invite you to use your scores only for personal learning and professional development.
