To those who need tips: The initial part of the song (the 'paa paa po o' part) repeats much later on the song. You do not need to worry abou the timing until that part plays a second time. After the initial part plays again, wait until the cow's hooves are parallel to the floor a second time. That is, the firs time the cow's hooves are parallel to the floor, the co will keep spinning until the cow's hooves are parallel a second time. Do not input immediately after you see the cow's hooves be parallel. Even after the second time, the background goes back to normal and the co will wind up her stick a tiny bit before hitting the cowbell. You might end up inputting just barely before she does.
A little more background for those who are curious: Giant Steps is absurdly complex harmonically, making constant chord changes and flying across three different keys (B, G, and Eb). It's known to be a nightmare to improvise to, with Tommy Flanagan fighting for his life on keyboard in the original recording.
The music here is Giant Steps by John Coltrane, possibly the most difficult piece of music ever written, and quite intentionally. As such it's become kind of a rite of passage for jazz musicians to improvise over it successfully.
It's a challenging bop tune sure, but I'm not sure its "the most difficult piece of music", even for jazz. Playing a slow waltz could be "difficult" as well, depends on what you're talking about. Yes it's fun to watch Vox and Adam Neely, but they're merely scratching the very surface of jazz, if sometimes misleading for people who are rather inexperienced with listening to and playing jazz.
Giant steps is certainly one of the most challenging jazz tunes. But if you wanna see a step up, "26-2" by John Coltrane is a monster song to solo over
as a bass player, i thought this was for me, but then i really took in what i was seeing, and i knew this was for the percussionists who are assigned to the gong
@@maxi_rios_ goku in tengoku (heaven) means country and goku in rengoku (purgatory) means prison. Two different word with same pronunciation. That Dragon Ball protagonist's name is actually gokuu, completely different word with completely different intonation.
I didn't know that purgatory was an earthbound battle Btw I would love to have an extended version of this... not like 30 minute long loop extended just 2-3 minutes.
I remember watching a short documentary once and them talking about Giant Steps being one of the major... well, steps in a musicians career. That it isn't enough to just learn the notes but to perform a solo in it takes a certain high level of mastery. I have a feeling you are always proud of yourself when you make a new video/song but you should be extra proud of this one. Great job LZ!
Reminds me of this one rhythm game that had a stage in a challenge mode where the only beat of the song was at the very end. And if you missed it you lost all your hp and died. It also didn't have any visual cues nor any indication as to how the stage worked. Just a bullet/beat marker that grew and grew as the song went on. Even so, you could probably guess what you had to do by about half way. I think the tip for the stage was also something like "save the world". Fitting, since the stage was called "Apocalypse", but not really helpful. I wonder if anyone knows what game I'm talking about.... Edit: I should note that you unfortunately can't really play it anymore since its servers closed. A shame, I liked it a lot. Edit 2: I was looking up gameplay footage and I realized that I misremembered somethings. The stage is called "Meteor". The song that plays is called "Apocalypse" by M2U. And the tip/subtitle for the stage is "Protected from the meteor". So, more helpful? No? The bullet/beat marker also 'menacingly' moves closer to you as the song progresses. It was a part of this challenge mode, "chaotic mode", where every stage had a familiar song from the game but with a different chart or gimmick. I miss chaotic mode. Chaotic mode was fun. The game was called "Ride Zero". It's a spinoff of a mobile game RPG called "Crusaders Quest". I commented once about it on a video on their official TH-cam Channel and got a response from them. Apparently they don't even seem to know what's up with the game as it was developed by another company...(?) You can find gameplay footage of what I was referring to by searching "Ride Zero Chaotic Meteor". There's also a playlist compiling all other chaotic mode stages that could be played it the game - "[RIDE ZERO] All CHAOTIC mode stages" . It can be found as the first video in that playlist. I would give links but I'd rather not drop links on someone else's video. I was waiting to see if anyone knew the game I was referring to but... I guess not. I wasn't expecting anyone to get it immediately. And it has only been a few hours, but people have asked... and I crumble when pressed. (._. ") Sorry for being unnecessarily secretive I guess.
@@archevenault I wish I could say it was one of those kinds of games but... Nah. It's more like how you can't play Dragalia Lost anymore because its server has closed down.

I used to be annoyed that my middle school band director was primarily a percussionist and was most obsessed with the percussionist kids but in the intervening years, I don't regret my choice of the clarinet and chorus.

This is like that one Curious George episode where they spend all this time fixing a xylophone for the girl's solo but it's just one note at the end of the song.
