I've had the Real/Fake books (loooads of jazz sheet music for those of you who haven't heard of it) on CD now for a while, but I haven't really sifted through much to pick out tracks to learn. Any suggested songs?
So far here's what I've learned(and i use the term "learned" loosely here):
Autumn Leaves
Autumn In New York
Blue Bosa
Makin' Whoopee
Solar
Girl From Ipeneema(orhowever you spell it)
I'm not too familiar with most jazz songs/artists, so any help on choosing songs to learn would be appreciated. |

That's what I like to hear. If that's the case you'll like Sun Ra. |

Hmm that's a tough one for me since I dig them all, but it depends whether you are looking for more structured stuff or more of the free improv stuff. Other Planes of there is pretty cool, but I would reccomend starting with the heliocentric worlds of sun ra. If you can though listen to him before buying because it's some out there stuff and most people don't like him even people that are into jazz and stretched harmony. He really has some pretty out there concepts of harmony though. |

They do have some Fake books out there that concentrate on certain artists, but they're harder to find. If you dig monk you dig harmony and that means you should listen to Sun Ra. A lot of his stuff is harmonically way out there. |

I'd go far as to say I love Taco Bell.
I've made more 'runs for the border' than the Mexican Decalathon team.
I wish 'they' made fake books concentrating on certain artists takes on standards. Kenny Burrell and Thelonius Monk being 2 of my faves for mutating standards. I really got to pull my head out my ass when it comes to practice, I been working on Ensensatez (How Insensitive) by Jobim for a while, can't get it they way I want. Anyway.
Bring on the fake tits! |

That's from Team America right? I liked that flick... Lots of subtle stuff that was very funny, like whenever they showed a city, it would say in parethesis it's proximity to the U.S.
On a related note, ORGAZMO was released for the first time on DVD this past week. I know we've talked about it before on here. |

hahaha agreed.
common sense is something everyone, including myself, needs a whole lot more of. |

yeah well, assume again. look the rule i made up. it makes common sense throw up in its own mouth. |
| guitarisPIMP |
Posted - 03/05/2005 : 1:35:08 PM
I'm not a scientist, nor am I trying to give you an airtight definition of my definition. Common sense is assummed to be applied here. |

Posted - 03/05/2005 : 11:34:35 AM
but you never mentioned "chemical" specifically. one might suggest that the withdrawl effects from quiting breathing are pain, dizziness, those little shiny things you see, and passing out. |
| guitarisPIMP |
Posted - 03/05/2005 : 01:31:01 AM
There isn't reallya chemical withdrawal to not breathing, just an agonizing pain followed by unconsciousness. It's a bodily function. If you can live without breathing, pooping, etc., then I admire you...alot. |
| Zachmozach |
Posted - 03/04/2005 : 9:22:56 PM
By your definition though we are addicted to breathing. I just can't get myself to quit. I also think that people get addicted to caffeine like the coffee people who try to cut back and get crazy headaches so they just continue to drink a lot. So I don't know how much coffee it would take to OD, but I don't think dan's definition fits either. Then again words have no meaning, but the meaning we assign to them.
People have told me in the past that I'm addicted to pot and I tell them that they are addicted to sex or whatever works for them and they always so no I just like it but they won't quit and I say well I like it and I don't want to quit, but now I just don't smoke enough for anyone to start this argument with me. |

im gonna hafta disagree with you on that one, dan. We all know how disagreeing with you ends up |

Posted - 03/04/2005 : 8:21:37 PM
my rule is better. |
| guitarisPIMP |
Posted - 03/04/2005 : 6:04:04 PM
My rule is if you compulsively do it because you're consciously or unconsciously afraid of dealing with the withdrawal, you're addicted. |
| dan p. |
Posted - 03/04/2005 : 12:26:23 AM
my rule is "if you can't od on it, it's not a real addiction." i made it up right now. |

Of all things to get addicted to, plastic/reconstructive surgery is pretty low. |

and on the fake breast subject, well sort of....... I'm over at my friends trying to cook her dinner (with one hand hahaha) cause she had surgery and has to stay laying down. So she's on the couch and i'm in the kitchen which is sort of all one big room in her studio apt. This puts me at the mercy of watching/listening to what she happened to have on TV at the time.
Happens to be that extreme surgery show, which I'd never watch incidently, cause it weirds me out. Yup, sure enough, (and just my luck) this episode is one where this guy keeps getting penis enlargements cause he's always felt he's had women problems because of his "small member" (after listening to the idiot's comments regarding women i determined it wasn't the size of his "member" that was the problem).
So he ends up getting a little addicted to a bigger and bigger penis and has like 4 surgeries to keep increasing the size. They never actually showed how big it became or before and after pictures of course. (yet they can show some of the surgery, go figure, and yuck)!! So anyway, it ends up that he can't keep a steady girlfriend or get laid after all the surgeries cause now he's too large and everyone runs off screaming when they see it. Maybe he should have invested in some sex toys instead! |

donna lee (ya miles says he wrote it and I know, but I'm still giving it to parker),
my vote goes to Parker. everything i can find researching it says Parker wrote it (a friend and i have had this ongoing debate). Great song. Covered by all the great gypsy jazz guitarists. Ornithology is also one of my all time favs. I'm psyched to see there is so much jazz interest around here. |

Huuge .pdf files, yeah. My guitar teacher burnt me a copy actually, but you can get em under the table at most guitar shops. If you know a guy somewhere that works there and ask him for "the Reeeeeal Books" he should be able to give you the CD. It's great, more jazz tunes than you will ever ever ever learn in 100 years. Some of it is real fluff, though, not good songs to learn, just page-fillers.
Actually it's scary because some of the cats around here like my band director has so many books memorized. I mean he can not only remember every part that the entire band is supposed to play (almost), but he knows like every tune in the damn real books. And the ones he doesn't have memorized he knows anyway and he just grabs the bass and plays them and after one time of struggling through the form he has it. |

Where did you guys get all these on CD? Like I take it they are just pdf files or something? |
| guitarisPIMP |
Posted - 03/01/2005 : 9:40:11 PM
yeah that was the first one i ever looked at in there. Never actually learned it though, learned the head and the changes loosely and then combined them into a chord melody and just now i tried to play it and i can play about half of it. |

Uhm for guitar I would check out some parker tunes like anthropology, donna lee (ya miles says he wrote it and I know, but I'm still giving it to parker), or ornithology.
There are all sorts of great charts, but those are some standards to check out. Then there's cherokee, which has a fun bridge. You could always play Giant Steps, if modulation by a major third is your bag while playing at like 240+. If you're looking to arrange something for solo guitar try like misty, stella by starlight, or like skylark. My favorite chart is Peace by Horace silver, but it probably won't be that hip on guitar. Then for latin stuff try spain, or like Baxia (might be spelled Bahia, but I believe it's by Jobim) that is if you like playing on and's.
The best way to do it is to listen to jazz and find something you dig and go after it. |
