Another great lesson, so much useful information. I really liked the Dr John - Accentuate the Positive - intro you went through. I was curious about what he was playing and intererstingly I see the main part of the song is another song that goes from the 1 to the 3 dominant which relates to the question I asked. Thanks again and congrats on completing your training. Look forward to the upcoming song tutorials.

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Thanks Dean! Very true it's got the same I to III chord change you asked about! haha! Enjoy

Thank you Arthur for the responses on transitions in shuffle.
And congrats for the result of your studies!!!

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Thanks Thomas!

Thomas he posted a walking bassline tutorial with tons of great transitions I learned besides the classic 1 to 4 walkup , you can use just instead them in the chop

[@morganst.pierre]

Another helpful transition note- most basslines strictly workin moving off root note going up /down 1 3 5 6 7b Octave. Take these notes chunk them in groups of 4 and 8 and pay attention to the last note of the groups of 4/8. You can create new basslines/chunks AKA transition points by removing /adding the 7b or 6th ,octave . If run up/down starting on roots of 1/4/5 but also selectively adding /removing 6th, 7b. You end of Many 4/8 note chunks and transition points. to cover longer distances between next chord roots you can add extra step or Chromactic on 4 and beat.
Other big one I learned to stay in bass range which veryy helpful is dropping a 6th below from root instead of 1-3 you go octave 8 down to third. That’s biggie and
Bonus straight chromatics nearly always anywhere between 6th to octave, minor 3rd to 5th lastly 2nd to major 3 on any chord. That might be a complete distallaton of the most useful stuff believe it or not 😂

I'll give it a try, there is a lot of content in your comment, I'll try to figure it out and practice
Have a great day!

Hey Arthur, congrats on getting that degree. I know the struggles of studying at a later age:)
I recently became a channel member. How can I submit suggestions for Song Tutorials?

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Hi Rogier thank you for signing up! You can leave the request on the FB group (I need to find that link for you) or you can leave the request as a comment under any video (including right here!) Thank you :-)

@@thearthurmigliazza I'm not active on FB. An analysis of this songs would be great: th-cam.com/video/emH6iL3wfUY/w-d-xo.html
It has Wynton Kelly on the piano.

[@scottt2481]

Congratulations Arthur on the completion of your studies!

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Thank you Scott!! It was a long road for sure.

[@BenjaminUbayyed-po9tc]

Congrats on the DPT. I don't know what I'd do without my PT's. I'd seriously be a gunner without them

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Thank you Benjamin!

[@roymarkowitz9701]

First of all congratulations secondly is there some easy way to learn and practice “Roll ‘um Pete”I’ve got both books but need some help with Pete Johnson Thanks

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Hi Roy, thank you! Ummmm, there's not real "easy way" to play like Pete Johnson unfortunately. If you're stuck on some particular licks or something let me know. We can always do a private lesson to address specific needs. Also, I believe I did a tutorial on Roll em Pete in the Member Requested Song Tutorials playlist. So be sure to check that out too. Hopefully it helps.

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Here you go! I kind of stumble through the intro but then it's okay. th-cam.com/video/Sm_NWhP6uqE/w-d-xo.html

[@thomasdamecour6994]

Hello everyone, I have a slightly unrelated question: do you know any free software that writes music sheet from sound? I tried one but it did not work. I am rusty on music writing and with the two piano keys, I find it a nightmare :/

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Hi Thomas that would be awesome if that existed... I don't know of it. Closest thing is to play it on a midi keyboard and get the midi information recorded. From there you can have the score visualized and you can make adjustments. I think Valerie actually uses that sort of software..

[@thomasdamecour6994]

@@thearthurmigliazza Thanks Arthur. Yes I'll try the midi way

[@jefferyboyle7276]
