Jazz Guitar Insights

To Transcribe or Not To Transcribe? (Ep. 15)


Listen Later

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:

  • The importance of broadening your perspective on what it means to transcribe
  • The usefulness of transcription and how to maximize its benefits
  • Thinking beyond simply copying notes—focusing on the "how" and thought process behind an artist's choices
  • Alternatives to traditional transcription and how to integrate them into your learning
  • The balance between transcribing, listening, and discovering your own voice as a musician
  • 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.
