Wrong notes are spicy if they're on tempo.
As one of my friends from my sound design class said, “Play one wrong note, you done fucked up. Play two wrong notes, it’s jazz.”
Jazz is not only about how to play wrong notes, it is also about how to make more wrong notes so at the end you end up the key you start in while bringing amusement to the crowd
Play three and you just dont know how to play your instrument lol
Play four and you should be taking lessons
Play every note wrong, on purpose, and it's experimental

This reminds me of something I read a while ago.
"One time, I was performing in an ensemble, and didn't realize the sheet music was double-sided, so I finished the piece about a page earlier than everyone else. Fortunately, it was jazz, and no one noticed."
Who the fuck plays with sheet music in jazz
@@Ivannbeats An ensemble. If your in a jazz ensemble you don’t learn the songs by ear, you probably could, but there’s usually 15-20 people and in an ensemble they all have different parts. I’m in a couple bands, I’m in my high school jazz band along with a jazz ensemble with post secondary and high school students that run by my band teacher, then I have concert band, and I’m taking jazz class at school. Jazz class we do more of combos, we still use sheet music but we all play the melody and put a lot of focus towards solos. In jazz class since we’re all playing the melody we could do it by ear to learn songs, but we’d have to work together to make sure we all get the pitch right because we wouldn’t want everyone to be playing completely different pitches. If you mean that you should learn your music and then have it memorized, we don’t have to, but I do have most of my songs for jazz class memorized because they’re simple and have had them for a while I still have the sheet music while playing though. I have 26 songs and counting so I definitely need sheet music for some of the songs

"To play a wrong note is inconsequential, to play without passion is inexcusable ." - Beethoven
Is that proof that Bethoven was a jazz musician?
@@gritsonamission Quite possibly; jazz is a state of mind after all.
I can tell you one thing for sure. Improvisation was actually common, even before Beethoven's time. Mozart and his friend Clementi would play each other pieces and deliberate change things. Therefore, Classical performance and even the idea of composition was not as rigid as we tend to see it. This is why the uTube music "teacher" Adam Neelys gets so many things wrong. He claims to be progressive, but he constantly tries to push "Classical" people into one box and himself ("Jazz" musician) in another. Neely also made videos claiming that perfect pitch cannot be learn, yet seemingly hundreds of musicians and lay-people responded that they did, and that you can. Not to mention Adam Neely's rants on why we shouldn't tune to A-432 Scientific Tuning because it's "voodoo." Yet, A-440 concert pitch is entirely random and does not fit into mathematical patterns, sacred geometry, the Golden section, etc. Growing up in small-town New Mexico and Texas in the 80's kids would make fun of you listened to Classical. I was a music that simply did not exist. // On the other hand, as a pianist having studied in NYC, I noticed that Asian pianist's I'd hand hang out couldn't play without the music. Whereas I'd just sit at their piano and go thru some Chopin or whatever. And even if i got a note wrong, I'd just delay it or blend it into the mix! // Bottom line: Beethoven rocked! - _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_ @theacousticrabbithole9608
@@A-432-ZoneThe 432 Hz thing genuinely is just BS though. Lowering the pitch makes it sound lower. Nothing mystical or special about it. 432hz music is literally just pitch shifted 31 cents and thats it
That's incredible, User. I'll add this insightful profundity to my notes immediately.@@user-fg5xs9lh7s
The only unrealistic thing about this, is that the conductor apologized after that rant
HA! Ain't that right!
Even if they *do* apologize, it's some kind of passive-aggressive "I'm just doing my job, I don't want to be mean to you, but it's your fault and you brought this on yourself. You should be apologizing to me."
It is a bug vs feature thing.

Don't let their words stick with you. You belong just as much as the others do, no matter how much money everyone has, what they look like, or how "talented" they are. You had a right to be there, whether that teacher liked it or not.

I remember a gig I played as a teenager. My band opened with a jazzy number that had space for a keyboard solo in it, and when it came around time for my solo, my mind just… Completely blanked. I forgot what key and scale I was playing in, and at more than one point I started touch-typing keys (literally just playing everything with my index fingers). Like I started panicking and my brain completely shut down.
My band mates thought it was the best solo I ever played, and the artist we were opening for (who was a pretty widely celebrated artist) complemented me on it afterword.
You really cannot fuck up in jazz
do you remember the name of your band and the artist you were opening for?
@@EvilCat-EnergyCatalyst Yeah, the band was The Roaring Hamster. We were just a local band, but we were opening for Coolio that night
Edit: this was in late 2008, and sadly it was my last gig with the band. Both my lead singer and Coolio have passed by now, but I won’t forget the interactions I had with either of them
Similar story, my high school jazz band were performing in a regional competition, and I was the sole saxophonist in the band. For weeks leading up, I couldn't quite nail down the solo I was given and was petrified to let the band down on the big day. I have no idea what happened, but my fingers just went wild and did their own thing the entire time. Literal jazz hands, but while grasping an instrument. I came off stage about to apologise and our coach(?) ran up beaming ear to ear and said I blew him away with my improvisation. My band mates were shocked too. Probably not as shocked as me though.
We got 2nd place, which was fine because 1st place always went to the actual professional student jazz band lol
Yeah jazz cannot be messed up mostly. It can be
that's why the vast majority of it is meaningless trash lol

High school jazz competition, 15 year old kid new to bass, I played a bass solo once that I felt ashamed of. Two college judges approached me afterwards saying things like "that was off the reservation, you have real feel and daring" and "I love your direction, your originality."
I remained very very confused about it.
Task failed successfully
this is exactly how i felt when i played bass in jazz band for the first time. i dont know how to read notes so i was going purely by ear and the whole time im think maaan im playing the wrong notes but at the end of class they were all like wow you are very good at pitch and good at playing along with us
at the end of the day i was confused but also very happy i didnt screw up on the first day i played in jazz band
@@layneburton7109 hehehe believe it or not going into college reading music was actually pretty hard for me. When I started band in 7th grade to the time I ended in 12th I had 4 different band teachers. I shit you not. I learned to play almost entirely by ear and by the feel of the music and for years no one said a whole lot about it. When I met my band professor he had me play and then he says "You learned to play music by ear didnt you?" I asked him how he knew that and he goes cause I can see by how your struggling since theres only so many people around you with a similar part. He said playing by ear is a very very valuable skill to have but I really really need to learn how to read music better. Yet I still managed to get a fulk ride scholarship to college.
i actually have to play an improv solo for the jazz band at the concert tomorrow and reading this, I feel a lot more confident
@@layneburton7109 omg dude when I was in grade 10 I got to audition for the senior jazz band normally for grade 12s because the bassists wanted to leave but needed a replacement and we were in the same music class. Well it wasn't a solo audition, I got to sit in during practice but it was a test to see if i was good enough and my stupid self played ALMOST THE ENTIRE PRACTICE WITH THE SHEET MUSIC UPSIDE DOWN BEFORE I REALIZED. I was so ashamed of myself but the teacher/bandleader came up to me after and told me I nailed it and very good 😆😂

And if you play a series of wrong notes, just repeat the note sequence in a series of other unrelated keys and call it "modal transposition"
As a classical singer, I love this! For anyone worried, most are very forgiving in classical settings. We know it’s hard stuff and that there are so many cogs in the machine, that as long as you don’t panic and get back on track, no one will ever remember the mistake, much less mention it.
I can testify for this. I missed ONE note and my piano teacher said “that is absolutely horrendous” 😭💀

Keep playing that, it sounds fonky bro
The Random Videos Guy throw in a bit of that left hand!
Classical music actually uses tritones (along with all kinds of other dissonances) all the time. Dominant 7ths contain tritones in them.
The difference between classical and jazz is that classical is more faithful to the written score, emphasizes voice-leading (counterpoint).
My late jazz teacher always said “If you play the wrong note, keep going. What the audience don’t know, won’t hurt em.”
Jazz is all about mistakes and improvisation.
It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing 🎵

Interestingly, my musical theater director told me the same thing, just with acting and stuff
Did he ever show up?
Rhythm is more important for a jazz solo. Hit the wrong note with correct timing, dynamics and inflection and it's all good! Victor Wooden is all about this.
Holy crap I played that last year in jazz band
“To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.”

that hits.
I can confirm that when playing a classical piece, for every mistake you make the chances of you actually making a mistake increases dramatically.

For real!!!💀😭
Just turn it into Jazz Lmao
The note _after_ the "wrong" note determines if it really was the wrong note
The hardest part is actually the rhythm for me, notes that are accentuated by the beat sound really bad if they are "out". But if you play the same notes before or after the beat your in the clear. Think chromatic approaches and those 16th note semi tone slides into the correct chords. Playing them seems to be hugely dependent on the rhythm that said im not good at it so i havent had much success in freeform jazz yet.
Aha! That's the kicker right there!
Bill Evans quote?
In music class we learned to improvise and one of the first things we learned that when you hit a wrong note (scalewise), go down or up halfsteps until it sound right and BOOM.

That's very true
I don’t know how he made it jazzy without swing, and it’s kind of the most incredible part for me.
One of the most import parts of swing is that you play the high-hat on 2 and 4, but the mad-lad made the backing track play on 1 and 3. And he still made the solo swing!
I’m impressed.

I did a bit of contrabass for band and even with an amplifier no one can hear you.

High school band director: just play through it, the audience doesn’t know what it was supposed to sound like
My high school band director was actually a flaming Italian goblin and would go out of his way to demote snare players to bass drum or percussion if they were struggling, because that's the one thing the audience can hear go wrong (not like they could see us back there - he called my dad once because my shoes, in the very back row, were grey not black).
So 16 year old me was in for a treat when I spent weeks practicing a snare part and on the day of the concert, I was given a bass drum mallet and was told to switch off every other song with the 'demoted' bass drum player. Because apparently this teacher also had a thing where upperclassmen had priority over parts for the show, and he could care less that I was prepared. I asked to get another snare (we didnt bring our own) but it was a "too bad so sad, you'll play snare next year" kinda situation with him and I lost.
It was like saying "Hey you're great in my class but youre a freshman so you can't play the big boy instruments on stage in front of your parents who pay for your drum lessons"
I understand a lot of drummers kinda goof off cause theyre in the back or were forced to do band, but geez, this teacher was one anal motherfucker about perfection and discipline and 'its not always fair'. His shitty ways have probably scared off tons of good drummers in the process - after quitting band, I joined a way cooler music program outside of the school
@@ItsKam but... I bet you're an amazing drummer now. 🤷
I find it ironic how I went from playing mariachi type music (with trumpet) to jazz like (with sax) to metal (electric guitar) and I honestly prefer playing metal just sucks that my high school doesn't offer anything involving rock/metal
@@ItsKam My brother was in band in HS (we both joined in Middle School for the cool MS teacher, but I stopped after), and after about one year, the HS Band teacher got more control of it. He decided he HAD to "improve" the bands by forcing all band students to be in both Concert and Marching band. He didn't care your reasons for wanting one but not the other, but insisted the rule be enforced. Enrollment in band dropped, quality dropped, and to top it all off, he made them wear thin, skin-tight uniforms that had that weird shattered stained-glass pattern...
Meanwhile the song is like Jingle bells
As a bassoonist who almost never dabbles in jazz. It’s drives me insane how little and how much sense jazz makes.
I once sent this video to my “Music Appreciation” teacher. And yes, that’s a real class, I took it because I thought it would be easy. The assignment was on differences between classical or jazz and I just sent this video along with whatever bullshit I wrote. She said she loved it and thought it was great for illustrating some of the differences between them. That class was one of the easiest As I’ve ever gotten.

This is inaccurate in classical music stereotype, i do have red about the use of tritones banned in the old times. Actually Beethoven used it in the Trio 2nd subject of the 2nd movement Moonlight Sonata. So ye after Baroque
i was once in a school talent show, playing isabellas lullaby but i couldnt quite hear the piano i was playing, the notes and the pedal were so soft it was scary to play it. At one point i forgot the melody (since my playing is mostly by ear) i took my hands off the piano and begin to hit some notes i remembered (improvising without noticing it) then at some point i could hear the faint piano and kinda work it out till the end. Luckily my classic pianist teacher wasn't there, he would've had a heart attack. But the people didnt seem to notice my error (well my family did) but my classmates and other teachers told me i played beautifully. But i think i sounded like crap- since im classically trained, at least they didnt make fun of me? i guess
One of my favorite quotes by my favorite musicians is “I just know how I feel, not how it feels.” Meaning you could be up there, playing your heart out, and thinking that you’re absolutely bombing, but to the audience, it could sound like the best thing they’ve ever heard. When you’re playing on a stage, in the moment, it is borderline impossible to discern how it sounds to the people out there. I remember at an open mic jam, I was playing She’s So Heavy by the Beatles, and I thought we all bombed. But the guy who runs the jam, came up to all of us after and told us this is why he runs the jam, and genuinely thought it was one of the best things he’d ever witnessed at that jam. So I try to remember that when I’m playing, all I know is how I feel I’m the moment, and it’s really totally irrelevant to how it actually sounds
It didn't even sound like anything was wrong in the jazz portion.
Exactly
I think the "sound" of jazz is exactly those carefully placed wrong notes, but I'm not a jazz musician so it's just what it seems to me
@@TonyNaber I'm not a big jazzhead but I really think you're spot on
@@TonyNaber well, there is "clean" or casual jazz, generally known to be elevator or lobby music which usually aims to provide an easy listening experience and which has little to no "wrong" notes. The deeper you go from there into jazz, the more you will see people throw in these notes. They are like the spice in a meal. They make things more exciting and introduce more contrasts (dissonance+the usually following resolve into a more pleasing note) into the music.
At a certain point people just go to far for my taste, tho. Some jazz musicians forget that the "wrong" notes are supposed to be the spice, not the main meal...

@@AM-we8hj Most musicians in my experience just run into a wall because they look too much at what others do and lack confidence in their own potential. They judge themselves in terms of limitations instead of what makes them unique from a positive frame of mind. So to me I don't think it's a question of "having it" and "not having it". But about whether you can learn to accept you who you are and have the courage to follow your instincts and see it leads, rather than trying to become someone else.

One way or another, I ended up screwing up HALF of what I'd prepared, and I was all "Welp. At least I'm not planning to peak in high school." Then we got the notes back. I received TOP MARKS from the judges.
Edit: Yes, I did, in fact, PREPARE an IMPROV SOLO, which tells you pretty much everything you need to know about me in high school XD
Post some videos sometime, you’ve got me curious
Jazz is literally just gambling
I am ignorant. Can you prepare an improv solo beforehand?
@@danielc4267 You can! Here's how:
1) Listen to the actual piece several times while practicing
2) Latch onto a theme from the piece and play with the key, motion, beat, etc.
3) Find a version of that you like and stick to it until the day of the concert
4) COMPLETELY FORGET IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONCERT and give the judge A Look like "Yes this is ABSOLUTELY what I meant to do no I will not be accepting criticism that's your entire job isn't it F*CK"
Sounds like you have "Don't Stop" and "Keep Going" down pat - turns out those are the only rules!
i like how the wrong notes in jazz started to sound much better once he gained confidence
I was watching videos doing research for buying a new base for my home studio, and you started showing up in my feed.
Now you got me wishing I had a bass player.
If I had a choice to of all the bass players on the planet to work with, I surely would choose you.
I could use all the help I can get.
U r duh man.
Keep on smacking them, you have the power to make all things possible and the world is your oyster. Congratulations. 🙃
I'm glad the camera shakes every time he plays the wrong note, so that uncultured people like me know when it's the wrong note.
Oh, you are more familiar with metal?
@@erdenwurm7208 what does that even mean lol
@@bolt4685 tried to link uncultured to metal music - but the Joke didn't kicked ^^
@Erdenwurm you must not know that metal and classical are very closely related
@@JJPMaster Oh, it all refers back to classical music - I would say.
Metal -> Rock -> Rock`n Roll -> Jazz -> marching music -> classical music.
Kind of linear in theorie - of course it's not thaaaat easy in Reality
In jazz, you hit a “wrong note” just move that interval up or down chromatically until you’re back in scale and you just had a bebop moment haha. People be like “dayum he just went outside AF!!” Whenever I do this moving an interval up or down chromatically thing I feel like Charlie Parker for a moment, minus the genius and heroin of course
So what you do instead of heroine?
I’m the same except not at all and I’m like Charlie Parker except without the genius.
I have a problem

You suddenly showed up on my feed for some reason and now I've binged 6 or 7 and subbed. Not only are you a great player, but make hilarious vids.
I learned music on the cello, played for 4 years, it was all very structured. Then circumstances forced me to learn bass guitar and eventually drop the cello. Eventually I wanted interesting parts, so I joined the jazz band, which was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Sure I still stress out over mistakes, but I’m nowhere near the perfectionist I used to be. I can even do a bit of improv now! Not in front of a crowd, but i can do it. The change has affected the rest of my life too, and im taking risks I never would have taken before. Hell, I asked my crush out on Valentine’s Day, he said no, and I didn’t even get emotional about it. All in all, im glad I was forced out of orchestra, and im glad I watched this video that allowed me to make this connection
Okay Joseph
cool cool
"Yeah, do some more of that!"

- me writing music for 10 years with no formal training
I don't think I've seen a comment that describes me more perfectly in my life. I can't even sight-read or tell notes by ear.
Been writing music for a while j can only tell you like 3 notes
Highkey uses a tuning app;
Jep me too.. playing for over 10 years.. can't read music.. play everything by ear.. and can't even tell you what notes i'm playing. Atleast i know i use allot of power chords,hammer on and just single strings..
I grew up classically trained in flute, sooo when I took on guitar it was a little easier for me.
having been to various jazz concerts, and even watching this video, i can confirm that i was wearing sunglasses and snapping my fingers in syncopation as soon as the jazz started
Oh my god this is one of the funniest things I have seen on any form of media in the past couple of months. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing
As a professional jazz audience member I can verify we all wear sunglasses at all times. Even when sleeping.
Haha yes we do, at all times. I only had my glasses off in my UA-cam profile pic because I was listening to classical music
I heard the jazzers grow their sunglasses when they reach maturity.
Professional means you get paid. So you get paid to be in an audience?
@@mrtimo3822 Yes.
@@Unknownmonkey13 Paid in jazzilicious pleasure
After learning that "jazz is all about the notes you are NOT playing" sometimes I lay awake at night knowing that I am currently, and can never not be, playing jazz...
unless you play every possible and impossible note simultaneously
@@Pihsrosnec that is impossible by definition, isn't it?
Oh god, we cannot scape it
Talk softly when mentioning it's name.
*It hears*
When you understand that in life, as you not play an instrument, you currently always play jazz.
Jazz is comedic
*folds up mouth just to play every note on trumpet*
@@cobaltordinaire5219 my God, you're a virtuoso
This is so hilarious, I've watched it time and time again and it never fails to make me laugh 😂😂😂
This was one of the funniest videos I've ever seen! Such a great job! I've played that Bourree from the First Lute Suite by J.S. Bach hundreds of times. I could do exactly the same thing as Charles, hitting wrong notes on purpose, playing it three or four frets up without a capo, and playing it backwards. What a great video!
I genuinely didn’t like the jazz part until the “wrong” notes came in
the accidental notes made it so much catcher hhh
We ARE the audience in the video lol
I'm 100% the vibin' guy at the middle

Jazz musicians: people like when we play everything wrong!
Punk band members: *amateurs*
Some post-hardcore bands and no wave bands can be considered jazz punk
It's more like the reverse imho if you consider some of out there free jazz stuff. But yeah all music is connected
Avant garde: there is no wrong or right. Just music.
Me, a drummer for both: *Laughs in wrong*
I know a really small punk band here in California (that doesn't play together much anymore) and some of the songs used some really irregular chords that kind of shouldn't sound right.
Problem is: I never noticed until the bassist told me. It just sounded like some good-ass punk rock to me.
I remember one time while performing a jazz piece, for some reason I got ENTIRELY lost. I had a rough idea of the melody so I just went off muscle memory for a little bit and prayed to god it sounded okay. When we finished I turned to my friend and said “Dude, I got TOTALLY lost for like eight bars there” and he said “You what?”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!! Jazz, am i right?
Priceless!
Dude pls make a full jazz version of that song, that shit sounds amazing
People who say there are no wrong notes in jazz have clearly never been in a highschool jazz band
Unless they compete in EE.
Everyone knows high school jazz is the squarest of jazz, except for junior high and elementary school jazz
You could only have one note continuously for an entire song, and highschool bands will still struggle with it.
@Pottic Harrir in a big band arrangement that's not the case
@Pottic Harrir that's not true. there was a person who was an entire page off, and nobody noticed. the person had no idea the entire time either. shows that the person doesn't know what the heck is going on, and neither does anyone else lol. the person "thought" they knew what they were doing, and was completely clueless in reality.
“Yea do more of that.”
“I have no idea what notes I’m playing.”
10/10 👌
Best way to play jazz!
Jazz is like 60% experimentation, 20% jamming, 15% style, and 5% actually playing what you rehearsed
Charles is a phenomenon on the bass and he makes it fun and funny. He's one of a kind.
"The first mistake is an error, the second mistake is bad playing. From the third mistake onwards it's called Jazz "
If I take this literally, all I do is bad playing lol.

Me neiherrrr they're perfectly calculated they're not wrong at all just altered
Wrong notes in jazz just make it better (with a skilled musician of course)
Exactly lol!
That's the joke. Jazz doesn't have set notes, you just play whatever.
It was all of them
the little appreciative jazz noises made by the listeners are bang on
Honestly I've come back to this video more times than should be normal. Tbh the ending of your solo is actually really damn groovy!
