TIMESTAMPS:
00:10 Usefulness of using key commands to cycle between markers
00:52 Leapfrog exercise to help with a riff
3:08 Emphasizing why REALLY getting inside the solo and it’s nuances is a great thing to do…
4:44 How to think about breaking up the time for this syncopated rhythm, emphasis of certain notes in Burgin’s playing on beats 1 and 3 to anchor his playing
6:00 Vocalizing only the syncopation of the note without singing to help internalize the phrasing, then doing this while hand clapping, first part of Burgin’s use of triplet time in his solos
7:11 “The golden rule” of transcribing by ear: playing something only once on the harmonica and then quickly referencing what you tried to articulate to check for accuracy
8:38 Practicing four beats to the bar clapping exercise and alternating 1/8 notes and switching to triplets
9:23 Consciously starting and stopping playback between one marker and the next in micromanaging a small chunk of notes
13:00 The Burgin Vibrato…usefulness of practicing your vibratos in time with “Transcribe!” at different playback speeds
15:30 Burgin’s use of triplets to create tension and release…
16:03 Using my key commands H, J, K, and L and their usefulness in using them to create accurately timed loops if need be
18:09 Pulling a small chunk of a solo out easily out of context and your ability to do this quickly and easily
19:39 “double stops” with a bend
20:23 Zooming in to a view of Transcribe to see more easily see note “instrument hits”
