0:07 Herbie Hancock 3:03 Victor Wooten "When you hit a wrong note, It's the next note that you play that determines whether it's good or bad." -Miles Davis
As my teacher explained: ''It is neither the note nor the chord it accompanies, it's the context that matters. If it feels wrong, change your context.''
@@Jesterday31 Funnily enough, he told the story about Miles, turning a ''mistake'' into something uselful, and said that you can go from any note, to any other note. Much like in grammar, certain sentences can be non sensical, or they can make perfect sense, depending on the context you view it in. IDK how to explain it properly, I am not that proffecient at music theory but i took a lot of the abstract to heart.
If I played bass for him he would quickly rethink that idea. Sounds nice, but if it were the case, every single person could play jazz/music flawlessly, all the time. No need for auditions - there are no wrong notes, or time signatures or accents....etc.
I met Thelonious Sphere Monk, Jr. back in the day, and he told me that his father once said, "If you play a note that sounds wrong, keep playing it until it sounds right." True story.
I totally use that Technique when I hit a sour note I start repeating it and eventually it sounds like it was done on purpose and then I can move on from there
"If you play a note that sounds wrong, keep playing it until it sounds right." That is how I learned to play by ear...keep hitting keys until I hit the right one...lol
That’s not what he said though. He said to play that “wrong” note until you find a way to make it sound right, not to play “wrong” notes until you find the “right” one.
My favorite is when my jazz teachers or my friends playing jazz would play some riff on a trombone or something and say "ohhhh..... Ooohh..... That's NASTY" and then they'd scowl but they would just continue playing playing it while scowling. Not even skipping a beat, there's no mistakes, if it brings forth an emotion, any emotion, and it resolved, it's good
@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 Funny story- many years ago I picked up a gig w/ my buddy and he ending the 1st tune on Maj7. Very nice. I bet him he couldn't end every song w/ Maj7 but he did. It was cracking me up but the bandleader threatened to fire us after the first set. Had to cut that out 😂
I can’t remember who said it, but someone once said, “A wrong note played timidly is a mistake, but a wrong note played with authority is an interpretation”.
Wow! This is crazy eye opening! When he played that G flat over and over my mind was like “please god resolve this!” lol and then it hit me….it’s not a mistake, just the tension before the release. So sick ❤
Herbie's anecdote is not only a testimony to Miles' greatness, it also reveals one of the pivotal points of his evolution into the unique jazz artist that he is today...he has made recordings in f-i-v-e decades
Honestly, one of the most helpful, yet simple, music teachings I have come across. So liberating to see how ' there is no such thing as a wrong note ' is actually put into practice.
I was mentored in music since my childhood to never view music as a mistake, ever and it’s allowed me to play some crazy things by “accident”. Miles found a challenge in your “mistake”.
Jazz is the art of not only not being defined by context, but by creating the context. A wrong note is only wrong if every other note is right. When every note is wrong, the right note stands out as the one that sounds off. The context is the notes that make a note sound wrong, and being able to change it on the fly is the art of Jazz. Of course, there's more to Jazz, there always is... But it's versatile in it's very nature, playful almost. And i just can't help but love that part of Jazz.
As a guitar player I learned how to read tabs and just started pushing buttons and fishing for notes remembering the patterns and intervals, not even knowing what a scale or octave was when I first started. I guess I was doing something right all these years... I have always played intuitively, although I do know a little theory now, but I'm glad I came across this video, because I never thought of this, I'm definitely going to add this to my practice and see what I discover.
Same for me. It's like I was running the fretboard with my eyes. Using mostly pentatonic scales. Now I tend to write my solos with my ears and that makes me go "out of the box"
Damn, this will impact my playing and my life. This isn't just advice for your instruments, this is advice for your life. Weird how an artisan in their respective field can give advice that applies to that field but also to other things as well, true wisdom between the lines.
My band teacher told me " you're only a half step away from where you want to be!". 30 yrs later and it's still one of my favorite tricks to this music thing! 🙂😀
That's what I tell myself about my mistakes, they're not mistakes, they're 'events' and keep playing them... hence why I still suck after 20 years playing guitar
This is so enlightening. I could hear Victor Wooten Speaking and playing all day. What a master of his craft. And Herbie Hancock, well, he his a legend.
-Follow band members' playing -Keep confidence so the other aspects of your performance doesn't fall apart, keep feeling the sound to orient yourself I hope I can learn from that even though I'm not a jazz musician (more electronic side, but I dabble in some instruments) and even less so a band member myself. music shouldn't impose itself too rigidly because if you want precision too much it can cost your confidence, and the fear that it'll sound bad can hinder your playing further playing (and the mistakes that come with it) is natural and alive.
I practise chromatic scales, Victor! And I very occasionally use them when actually playing a song. I find that, on sax, the chromatic scale really helps me to connect with the instrument and understand it better.
I once had a client book studio time to hear / purchase beats, so I showed him all of my best beats, some which would later sell for a decent chunk of change, and he wasn't feeling any of them. So we decided to start from scratch & I play all my best piano / guitar chops, and nothing was working for him, until I accidentally hit a few wrong notes that clashed in a horrible way. His eyes lit up and said ''that's the one!''. We proceeded to make a beat that consisted entirely of ''wrong'' dissonant notes, in no scale / key. Picture 2 cats walking on a piano over a drum loop. I hated it but the client absolutely loved it. The fact that these sounds brought him genuine joy taught me that there truly is no right or wrong, only popular and not as popular.
I'm a classical musician and so I was very used to the theoretical approach to music back in high school. In one of my first jazz improvisation lessons in school, our teacher told us: "If you play something completely off, that just sounds terrible, make sure you do it again. If you repeat it a few times people won't think it's a mistake anymore. And resolving it will feel even better." He was right. I wasn't a god at improvising. I even messed up the recovery. But even by chance I was able to resolve it eventually. And by just being self confident, and not losing my temper, I could make it sound good. After the session people came up to me and told me how impressed they were by my improvisation skills. No wonder; it was unique. Because it was wrong. I'll never forget that. All you need is some confidence. And suddenly your weaknesses become your strength. Live by that. Be proud of your mistakes. They're what makes you unique.
Great video. I was introduced to this philosophy a few years ago by Victor Wooten's workshop (the second part of the video), I recommend watching the entire workshop (multiple times). Thanks for the upload.
This video is indeed enlightening. I play guitar 48 yrs. 6 7 and 8 string. Im going to incorporate these ideas in my soloing as well especially in gospel, jazz, and funk.....
Transitions, accidentals, and the chromatic scale. All where my favorite topics in music. The concept of observation(which accepts and gives you the power to transition) vs judgement(which causes fear of wrong notes).
great revealing lesson....ill no longer frustrate my self about trying to understand modes, scales and outside improvising...ive been doing em right all along😄👍🏽
I have watched this video several times over the last few days. It’s soooooo good and profound. God bless Victor, Miles, Herbie, and all our wonderful music teachers
That is the quality of a true creative person. Being able to problem solve INCREDIBLY difficult tasks in seconds BECAUSE you simply do what is in front of you. The power of Humanity.
when i saw this video, i immediately hoped on my piano and started to play random notes and not think of any scale. when i played a note that was "wrong" and then played a "right" note, it felt more like i played a note to add suspense/tension and then i alleviated that tension. its all about your mindset of music. u cant make a mistake if there is no such thing as a mistake. music should be liberating, if we constrain ourselves then all will be bland.
Bass chords sounds so freaking amazing and I play guitar. I do own a 5 string Music Man which I will start playing chords on the bass and the chromatic scale.
This is how I naturally learned to play. I fucking sucked at finding the right pitch and correct notes, so I just played a bunch and made up my own thing as I went along. If it felt good, I did it again. If it felt bad…we’ll yeah I suck anyway so I’ll just play it again instead of getting upset. Helped my mentality so much years later and I love exploring “ugly” notes because it’s just different from what you’d expect to hear. It’s fun. Music is fun. Play shit until it sounds cool.
i do this sometimes, it comes naturally after a while, just keep jamming you guys will feel/see it too, when i play a wrong not i just continue the riff, never stop playing when you make a mistake just ignore it, it was just a split second of mistake in the middle of a long song, the audience just wants to have fun (unless youre classical) lol
Everything in life should be like this. Like creating music and dancing. Some play the music, some dance, but everybody is enjoying every single step and if it's over the only thing you wish is to go again. It's not about the end. It's about the Now.
Very cool and misterious at the same time how that "off" notes became bigger then other notes. I play and guitar and bass and i get idea now how to incorporate chromatic scale and on guitar and on bass guitar. I am stunned by Victor Wutten "ear" theory. 👏👏👏. Thank you Maestro.
I love this because it’s like life… Just go forward blindly, mess up and make it make sense afterwards backwards. Smile and nod your head and just be easy.
Victor Wooten is just one of the best bass players out there - really agree with what he is teaching, the context is important and how you proceed after "making a mistake"
Getting comfortable with the sound. Yes! I have been a playing progression built on the root notes F, D, B, and G#. I play it like a 16 bar blues in E (E7 - C#7 - E7 - G7 - Bb7/G7- E7. You can play the diminished scale over all of it, or Ab maj, F minor pentatonic, Eb maj, etc.. or any of the 7th chords with some blue notes and chromatics around the root. The thing is that you get locked into one scale and it sounds great, until all of a sudden is sounds WAY off, then a different scale works, until the ear hears something off and nothing sounds right. It is a strange feeling to be in a groove and then lose it and not one note sounds right. The mind does amazing things, this is a fun way to train it.
That is very interesting, it's like a circle of diminished chords where it's the V7 chord as well as the ii chord but in a rotating cycle, the G7 (G# dim) is also the E7 (Fdim) and the Bb7 (Bdim) is also the Fdim is the E7. It's always leading, either diminished leading tone or V7 chord, but it never gets to a I. My mind is blown and I don't even have an instrument in my hand. There goes my weekend.....
My brother is a jazz musician, and his teacher once said: "There's no such thing as a mistake; just a bad recovery."
That's a saying as old as jazz itself.
Maybe the best life advice ive ever heard if you boil it down.
Well there cant be a recovery if theres nothing to recover from 🤔
@@sterilesteve5565 I think you always move on and recover no matter the note

Prince said it. ‘When you played a wrong note, just play it twice.’
As my teacher explained: ''It is neither the note nor the chord it accompanies, it's the context that matters. If it feels wrong, change your context.''
Looks like the creation of the universe of The Lord of The Rings.
Yummy!
What did your teacher mean by context, can you elaborate?
@@Jesterday31 Funnily enough, he told the story about Miles, turning a ''mistake'' into something uselful, and said that you can go from any note, to any other note.

IDK how to explain it properly, I am not that proffecient at music theory but i took a lot of the abstract to heart.
I like the grammar analogy
“Do not fear mistakes, there are none” - Miles Davis
and dont let your bandm8s alone. thats what i took from it. its not a competition of each bandmember.
If I played bass for him he would quickly rethink that idea. Sounds nice, but if it were the case, every single person could play jazz/music flawlessly, all the time. No need for auditions - there are no wrong notes, or time signatures or accents....etc.
"-just happy accidents." - Bob Ross.
Great minds think alike.
Mistakes only get pronounced when you over react to them, plus some mistakes introduce new ideas, so it’s not a curse to runaway from rather an event.
Ron Carter would have felt so much more comfortable if he knew Miles was like that. Unfortunately, Ron knew better.
I met Thelonious Sphere Monk, Jr. back in the day, and he told me that his father once said, "If you play a note that sounds wrong, keep playing it until it sounds right." True story.

@@raffataia That's what I came here to say. It's such an ever-relevant speech.
You should listen to him with Bela Fleck. They are incredible.

"If you play a note that sounds wrong, keep playing it until it sounds right." That is how I learned to play by ear...keep hitting keys until I hit the right one...lol
keep hitting keys until you hit the right one or it sounds right?
@@Mathemarius I think he means the actual right one, but both what you said is correct :D
That’s not what he said though. He said to play that “wrong” note until you find a way to make it sound right, not to play “wrong” notes until you find the “right” one.
@@Watermelon_Man Sure, that's a huge difference.
How long did it take you?
That bass guitar session was excellent.
Seems he was talking about the principle Miles used to fix other people's mistakes.

I like that one, I can eke out another life lesson from that and add it to the one Herbie brought up in his Miles Davis anecdote 🙏
Dude this shit blew my mind, making wrong notes sound right. Not only is this concept applicable to Jazz music, but to life as well
exactly what i thought
Miles didn't saw it as a mistake, he saw it as a challenge.
Wow! This is crazy eye opening! When he played that G flat over and over my mind was like “please god resolve this!” lol and then it hit me….it’s not a mistake, just the tension before the release. So sick ❤
To me, that note was a blue note and was actually the right note for the job. He could have stayed there all day, I'da been fine with it.

The Victor Wooten video is like someone showing you a cheat code after you've been trying to play music "the right way" for your whole life. Crazy.
