Transcription—an essential tool for jazz musicians, but is it the only way to learn? In this episode, I dive deep into the debate around transcribing, without offering a one-size-fits-all answer. Instead, I encourage you to think about the process differently and reflect on the purpose of transcription in your own musical journey.
I’ll discuss:
By the end, you'll have a more nuanced understanding of what transcription can offer, and you'll be equipped to decide if (and when) it fits into your practice routine.

In this episode of Jazz Guitar Insights, we have an exciting Ask Me Anything session with Mark, who is a #MarchMadness challenge winner from the Jazz Guitar Fellowship! Mark brings up a critical question that many jazz guitarists face: Should you focus on reading resources or playing by ear to improve your jazz playing?
Mark is at a crossroads in his musical journey and wants to know which approach will serve as the best catalyst for his progress. We dive deep into both methods, discussing their advantages, challenges, and how they complement each other. Whether you're a guitarist who prefers reading sheet music or a player who relies on instinct and ear training, this conversation will offer insights on how to balance these two powerful tools.

And don't assume that since you know the rule of thumb, you don't need to listen to this podcast. It's short podcast after all.

When a sculptor creates his art piece, they start with a simple block. At the start, it doesn't seem special but when chisel away the pieces and refines the details, it does become a very special work of art. In this important podcast, we'll talk about the most crucial element for any jazz artist: finding your own voice, which can take a process similar to creating a sculpture -- starting with a foundation and finding your form through patience and persistence; and then we proceed to a short and sweet harmonic analysis of the great standard "Stella by Starlight." Enjoy!
