You have nothing to worry about as a teacher. Every one of these 'steps' is a complex & challenging process that most music learners will need structured next steps advice, encouragement & authentic contextual demonstrations, anecdotes and procedural breakdowns to attain basic fluency in. The trepidation people currently have regarding AI reminds me of the hype surrounding the emergence of 3D printing technology a couple of decades ago... In my opinion the fundamental thing that needs to happen for any Jazz learner is what master musician Joseph Allard described as growing tonal imagination. He was talking about learners hearing a beautiful potential in their wind instrument sound- the same applies for all instruments on the massive canvas of a jazz standard. To do that all musicians require teachers/mentors- even Parker had Gillespie!
I suspect that ChatGPT took your internet content and others like it, and is simply feeding it back to you. That's why you agree so much. By now there is quite a standard way to teach jazz. While there are many good pints to be taken, it might have teh disadvantage that many jazz musicians now sound alike. Before there was a standard way to teach jazz, say before the 60s, individual musicians tended to sound very different, more personal. It might be good for "jazz teachers" to address this.
I liked your presentation and think it gives some clarity to the journey. I will tell you that despite my many years of playing in all venues, the ONE thing I can’t seem to make myself do is transcribe solos. And I’m willing to bet that’s true for many, many musicians!
What a LLM like chatgpt can help you is to structure your own learning journey in an interactive manner. It may be generalized at first, but you can drill down as far as you want. You can also feed in information from courses and video transcripts to refine your practice curriculum. You can tell it your progress and have it adapt your study plan. It can help you generate ideas on how to get unsticks… and finally most people get overwhelmed with all they have to learn and need guidance, and the LLM can help winnow things down to a small set of heavy hitters that will help you progress. The LLM will help you develop a way to be an autodidact in building a lesson structure. And it will only be getting more powerful.
i saved myself a load of time by getting ChatGPT to write out all the notes and intervals for scales and diatonic arpeggios in each key as a reference. dead handy when learning.
Been playing legit and big band trombone for 68+ years. I’ve performed Buddy Rich’s entire 1975 book for three years, but I can’t get started with jazz improvisation. Want to learn how to play a little jazz. That 1st step left me eating dust. Then to add insult to injury, you played some things from some other plane of existence. It’s not that I don’t know anything, apparently I don’t even suspect anything! Beginning to suspect some kind of brain malfunction or missing genes!
Ai to me is like when you go to pay for your shopping and scan your goods ... It's just not the same and then it says .. " please wait for an assistant" So yea I think you're safe Brent😂🤣 good video 👌👍🎶🎶🎸
It’s great that you hit CHATGPT head on and embraced it. A great resource but nothing will replace putting in the work and engaging with community. I hope!
You know more than the creators of AI? No, you're just a fanboi. It's lying, incorrect, utter f garbage. It's rushed & irresponsible af. Duh. Try expert opinion instead of ignorant excitement. ffs.
I've tried asking Chat GPT for good examples of different bassist's solos and it just comes back with rubbish. Tracks that don't exist on albums and tracks by different bassists....
Next: replace all jazz musicians with AI generated music and replace all listeners with AI. 😅 Skynet allusions aside, it's the details that matter and AI can't teach that. Interesting video!
AI extracts existing learning programs from Google in the language in which the dialogue is taking place. There is nothing significant in this. You should not expect fresh ideas, but he got offended with me by the question why he constantly makes mistakes, and turned off. Be careful: operators in AI also serve as censors!
Until computers/robots are indistinguishable from humans then The Human to Human interaction/Contact involved in teaching, and, anything else in this life is imperative.
