Hear me out ... what we do requires extra
specialization ... it requires a high degree of
intellectualization (not be misconstrued with
"intellegence," as well as feeling, emotion, and all
gooey stuff we call "FEEL" ...
Yeah, I understand all that.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
My point was that oftentimes, beginners/novices will spend TOO MUCH
time on all that theory, scales, modes, arpeggios, inversions at the
expense of learning some tunes, transcribing solos and just trying
to create music!
You can go very far with very little.
I bet that if someone learned to play even just a few of the bird
solos in the omnibook (can be at half-speed. No need to play it
fast. All that stuff sounds really good slow too...) and really
internalized it, they will quickly be able to play some decent
sounding solos.
That was my point...
