Amazing job man. And Larnell, aside from his extraordinary talent, he just has the warmest most beautiful soul. Such great stuff here.

      @lerx1980 3 роки тому +16

      All of them where not tight at some part. But playing this turns your brain around and i cannot play this myself either :D
      The most obvious was the guy with the fancy camera movement at the part with the bass line. I have the exact same problem with my right hand and and my right foot. The foot doesn't listen and is slightly behind when playing the exact same pattern.
      The thing about rhythm and separating the good from the not so good is feel. You feel and know without thinking about it, if something is off. I have very good feel about music and rhythm and I believe it's like a gift. If you don't have it you gonna have a bad time. For sure it is learnable to some point but if you don't feel it and you wanna be a drummer... Hard times.
      I play in a little trio with piano and voice. The singer attended a very professional and expensive singing school even to that point that she could give lessons herself if she would pay 50k for the license. My point is she knows how to sing and knows what to do with her voice.
      What she didn't learn is knowing when to start singing by just listing to the song. She has to learn it for every song. I'd know instantly when to start singing just by listening and this makes improvising hard because she is not confident.
      That's why I'm thinking it's either you have it or not and it's what separating the good from the best.

I’ve tried to teach him multiple times over the years. He just doesn’t get it and he never will and I have no idea why because it’s like the easiest thing. Even birds can bob their head to a beat.

He puts out the exquisite chops, others emulate that, he gets see to their efforts.. is encouraging and again ..he enjoys listening them.

      lol yes, a great recovery is way more impressive than playing without errors imo, because although you can reduce them to a minimum, there can always be errors in playing, maybe you break a stick for example, being able to hop back on that groove is what's important

    • @Aaronmac404
      @Aaronmac404 3 роки тому +89

      Any musician/teacher/professional worth their salt finds ways of addressing when someone makes a mistake in very creative, constructive, and uplifting ways. It's absolutely no surprise that someone as musically practiced and rhetorically sound as Larnell has the ability to do just that.
      It's okay to think "They made a mistake there" or "their timing is off" as long as it's from a place of wanting to help them improve, and the way you choose to verbalize it and bring it up with the person makes all of the difference.
      Edit; Also, Larnell has a tough job here. His parts on Snarky Puppy tunes are extremely complex, so he basically has no choice but to take a more laid back approach to reacting to people trying to replicate them out of fairness.

    Larnell's reactions here are priceless. Not just a musician, but an educator. And the fact that no matter how dope he is or how famous he gets, he still just sits and enjoys videos as a FAN, because that's what we all were before we played. A lot of the Snarky guys are like this, and will sit and talk about music and gear with you like any other person at a show. When I saw them, I simply asked for a pic with Mike League, but then proceeded to ask me if I'm a musician and we spent a good 20 minutes talking about our favorite amps. Idk I know I'm kinda rambling but it just warms my heart greatly.

      It's like anything you spend thousands of hours on: you stop seeing individual units and start seeing patterns, chunks, categories. :) Which isn't to say Larnell isn't light-years ahead of me or you or most of us mortals, but I find that sometimes people tend to mystify musical ability as if it's something absorbed from the ether, when really it's just hours, weeks, years of dedicated practice. Anyone can do what Larnell does-provided they're prepared to spend the next decade or two spending 6-10 hours _daily_ on making and studying music. :) Obviously natural ability/talent factors in, but the time you invest has a way bigger impact long term.
      So again, not trying to act like Larnell isn't one of the heaviest cats around, but he is still "just" a human... who spent way more time learning music than 99.9% of other humans. That is the primary, maybe the only, reason he can do things they can't. :)
