The Madcave
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2023
Some people have a “man cave” where they go to try to keep sane in life. Well, for me and others, it’s more about the madcave-the place you go to get all the mad out of you. (And that means music, of course.)
On this channel I talk about my favorite hobby, which is the obsessive dabbling in musical instruments-that addictive zone where some of us experience the bliss of musical freedom through improvisation and creativity. I’ll talk about what I'm learning along the way about how to practice most effectively, how to learn instruments from scratch with or without proper teaching, and how to enjoy your musical hobby without under-equipping yourself to have the most positive experience.

A Bunch of Arpeggios & Four Chords (Piano Improv)
มุมมอง 562 หลายเดือนก่อน
I like the sound of basic arpeggios so much that sometimes I just sit down and play quiet arpeggios for ever and ever. Arpeggios are one of the few musical exercises that I think really sound like music (albeit background music) even when played as an exercise (if played musically).

"Peaceful Thoughts on a Rainy Day": Piano Improv over Arpeggios in Ebm
มุมมอง 423 หลายเดือนก่อน
Flowing-arp style rubato piano improv over an arpeggiated LH chord progression of: Ebm(add6), Ddim, repeat. And then occasionally for flavoring, I switch that Ddim with a D Major for that fresh otherworldly unexpected-major sound. And the melody as sort of an uplifting peaceful sort of thing, and occasionally dipping into chromatic melody bits since I've been practicing my chromatic scales (and...

The end of a 15-minute practice session after the end of a long day… Last several weeks I’ve been branching out and getting my feet wet with the blues scale. Fun to try new things
