Hey everyone. I've been stuck around 100 - 110 bpm for a long time. That makes it really scary and difficult to add tempo, or even attempt practicing this. BUT! I've been consistently running this for about 10 minutes everyday for the last week. I just hit 120bpm after months and months of frustration and cowardice!! Just stick with it and practice it for a little bit EVERY day! I was not doing that and that was my problem. Best of luck folks
@@alexminney8039 Keyboards and piano are where I suck the least, but I also play guitar and bass. I come from pop/rock arranging and accompaniment, but during the past few years I've been trying to look at jazz more seriously.
It is really funny to me, as a bass player, that I learned this melody on keyboard at 150bpm in just two month (I'm really surprised but I can fuckin do it), but I'm still struggling with it on the bass at 120bpm for around half a year :(
I kept increasing up to 160, accepting there will be mistakes but trying to keep up the tempo anyways and watching for any unnecesary tension building up. Going back to 150 feels easier afterwards. Try it!
This is a very good "trick", and something that might not be obvious. Intuitively one might think "I can't even manage this slow speed, so why would I try even much faster?" I'm not a music teacher, but I've noticed that when I try to push my speed limits, it tends to remove unnecessary motions. The motions of playing fast are not the as playing slow but faster. This should be obvious when watching videos at different speeds.
This is great, thank you! When i am at 130bpm sweating and swearing, and i think: "now i got it!!"..then i look and realize i am an insormontable 20bpm short from Patitucci :o :o :o this guy is a monster.
thanks for this. excellent to first practice this tune but also to practice instrument technical skill in general. On guitar, This is very good for improving fright hand skill, improving some mix of sweeping plus alternate picking. alas , i am not able to go above 100bpm after 4 days of practice, due to some tricky (for me) cord jumps. good work to all !
Thx for posting this, it's a very old challenge for me (also). As you getting closer and closer to the original tempo it need to be increased less and less steps - I mean above 130 I should take -f.e.- 135, 140 then 143, 145, 147... etc, because getting harder and harder step by step. For first run I could take 120 safely, 130 was litl bit unstable, but the real challenge to jump to 140.
Great practice track! Thank you. Transcribing this is so good for bass technique, especially with all the string crossing. Just getting it nailed at slow speeds is good practice :-)
The key for any musician here is sing the head first: Ah & a 2, Ah & a 4, Ah & a 2e&a 3e&a 4e&, Ah, & a 2, Ah & a 4, Ah &a 2e&a 3e&a 4e& Ah e&a 2e&a 3e&a 4e&a - 1 &a 2e&a 3e&a 4e&a 1e&a 2e&a 3...... 4...... Ah... 2 &.... Then, hear it like a straight ahead jazz tune at 300bpm, instead of a fusion tune, with the step hh chick on the & of each beat to keep your time. Memorize the head, SLOWLY & get it to tempo. Then ignore the chart, concentrate on the time, let it flow - on auto pilot. Practice strings of three16th note phrases where the phrases begin on the "a" before each beat. Typical 3/4 jazzz motif stuff.
Been listening to this since 1988. Can scat it. Learing how to read drum charts finally (drummer, Weckl fan). Saw this in my random algorithm. Started trying to read it (getting through charts now) for 3 minutes slowly, without looking to see what it was. Then realized it was Got A Match 😆. I scat it in 16th notes. But like most Fast Bop, shouldn't it be actually written in 8th notes? Being on the gig the charts would be in 8ths (waste of paper).
It's my transcription of how I heard the tune. To me it sounds like Weckl is playing a 150 bpm 1/16th groove, not 300 bpm 1/8th, and that's what my perception of the whole piece was based on. Later on I figured that jazz players would probably write it with 8th notes. I have no formal training in music, it's just what I do for fun. This video has surprisingly and unintentionally become somewhat popular.
How to fall on an accurate beat can often lead to instability and loss of beat When playing, which beat of the drum is the most important to listen to in order to achieve the correct rhythm😭
The drum part was just some quick-and-dirty MIDI copying of a short snippet of what's on the recording. You can extract the drums from this audio with Ultimate Vocal Remover or Demucs.
This is a pretty good effort! Practice-wise it makes a lot of sense. However, the song isn't actually 16th notes in 150 bpm, it's 8th notes in 300 bpm. You can clearly hear the quarter note pulse when Patitucci begins with the walking bass and the drums start playing the actual beat instead of just the accents.
There's a glitch in the video recording at that point. I noticed it only after uploading and didn't want to re-record the whole thing. I made this for myself while having morning coffee one weekend, and I thought I'd never make it to full speed anyway. ;) Are you already good for full speed?
@@yzimsx I understand! I figured this video was put up since you already made it for yourself! I am pretty clear through 140. I got through the first couple at 150...Though I definitely start shorting and smoking at that point 😂 Couple more days and some fingering adjustments and we should be skatin!! Thanks for putting this video up. I really benefited from this!
Unfortunately it would take too much effort to make it available. It's just a quick MIDI simplification of what Dave Weckl is playing on the album version, it shouldn't be too difficult to make a similar mock-up. And you'll learn things when making it.
hey dude!! im a drumming and im currently grinding away on this awsome practice video. there are a few great videos you should check out if you want to learn this tune!! ua-cam.com/video/zQLoBN2DT3Q/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/k2S-cI11PiU/v-deo.html what i suggest you do is watch theses video and find the basic coordination. then come here and practice with this video with different tempos. thats what im doing! and its going great so far!! good luck friend :) also thank you @yzimsx so much for this awsome video its a great exercise for all musicans!!
@@kylehan3934 Nice to hear that it can be fun for drummers as well! Unfortunately there's a small recording glitch in the second "verse" of the final 150bpm part in my video ... the screen capture software had a temporary hickup, but I didn't want to re-record anymore because it was already the nth attempt. I guess that by the time you're at 150bpm you can already play along with the actual record. :)
@@kylehan3934 I checked the videos you linked and now my head hurts, I didn't _really_ want to know how the drum part is played. ;) My drum part is only a fake mockup with a ghost snare hit at every 1/16th note, plus a few harder snare hits, hi-hat accents and kicks inserted here and there to mimic what's is on the record, on a generic make-believe level. :D Just enough to get some of the same vibes. But now that I saw how actual drummers try to repeat the drum part ... I respect Dave Weckl's drumming even more. All of the players on Chick Corea's records are on an absolutely insane level!
Title should be " Got a Match, but as time progresses, your confidence decreases"
"Looking for a match and getting warmer and warmer"

Great! What instrument do you play?
@@yzimsx I'm a bassist! What about you?
@@alexminney8039 Keyboards and piano are where I suck the least, but I also play guitar and bass. I come from pop/rock arranging and accompaniment, but during the past few years I've been trying to look at jazz more seriously.
thinking about minimizing finger movement and making everysingle movement as efficient as possible
It took almost five months but finally I can play it in 120bpm on bass. This video is amazing, thank you!
It is really funny to me, as a bass player, that I learned this melody on keyboard at 150bpm in just two month (I'm really surprised but I can fuckin do it), but I'm still struggling with it on the bass at 120bpm for around half a year :(
@@Luciano0903 bass and guitar take two hands coordinated to make 1 note, its always going to be trick to play up tempo melodies like this
got to about 130 and i thought that must be it.. I had to play the actual track again to make sure.. its unbelievabley fast to be fair
The very best if you can't learn how to play it off this thing give up this is the most awesome instructional video on this I've ever seen bravo!
I kept increasing up to 160, accepting there will be mistakes but trying to keep up the tempo anyways and watching for any unnecesary tension building up. Going back to 150 feels easier afterwards. Try it!

dude for real like once i get to around 130 my left hand just wants to fall off lol
@David Gray nice, how's it going on bone?
Guys in the Chick Corea band: “Oh I thought we were starting at 150 bpm...”
I think they actually see this as being 300 bpm, with 1/8th notes where my transcription has 1/16th notes.
Thanks! Needed this head written out for like 35 years.
thanks for this. excellent to first practice this tune but also to practice instrument technical skill in general.

Thank you so much! this is one of the best ways to practice a tune, specially one as demanding as this gem from Chick!

Thank you! I play bass, but I don’t think I’ll be able to start off at 90bpm quite yet!
You can get it slower with UA-cam's replay speed feature, for example 0.75 or 0.5 speed.
You can slow it down on UA-cam. Click on the three little points in the up right part of the screen
Obrigado foi muito bom para meus estudos .

Great...
Thank you...

FINALLY NAILED IT (I play flute) YAYYY
YEAH!!!! Made it today to 160!!!!!10 times...no bum notes.....took me a month.....
Would have the harmony of that song? Thank you...
🙏🎼🙌🎼
I don't know if you still managing this channel but I hope so, cuz I wanna ask if you have the drum part..

I wonder if I’ll manage on a fretless bass... my only six string is a fretless!

I made that for myself to practice at slow tempo
on the keyboard, if I may ask, what is your suggested fingering for measure 6?
121235131214321, works well for me on that measure
90bpm rock 🤪
Bass guitar in treble clef is cursed.
It was meant for my own keyboard and guitar practicing. You'll need to make your own bass clef version if you need it. :)
Спасибо!!!
Useful. But it's actually 180-300 Bpm.
thanks so much
I'll be staying at 116 for a while
The A2 is not the same as A1 though
This a superb video to improve my synthsolo articulation
tempo 4 = 1 ?
Am I the only one getting some skipping around 5:45? Throws me off HARD every time 🥲
