HOW TO TRANSCRIBE A SOLO - A STEP BY STEP GUIDE (for all instruments)

Excellent teaching ! Thank you for PURE GOLD !

Does transcription count as plagiarism?

I appreciate this

Thanks for the wonderful step by step lesson

amazing stuff! What a great skill

Thanks. Good lesson. Easily explained.

Very lovely information

If we know on what scale the tune is, you'll try less "wrong notes" to figure the wright one!! Therefore, knowing the harmonic grade of song is basic to transcribe!

I love your instrument. Do giveaway boss to fans

Excelente. Muchas gracias. Saludos desde Buenos Aires.

😆👍

What is the app you are using ? Thanks Scott All the best from France !

Great video. The looper suggestion is key. I get frustrated when I try to transcribe because I don’t use a looper and I have to try to rewind to get back to the phrase that I want.

You dont have to sing well..your saxophone voice is perfect !!!

Thanks a lot Scott. Really helpful lesson :D. Greetings from Mexico

Ive got some better idea for me, if i want to transcibe some solos, use a looper and tuner for sax on the same timer (low speed and note each sound step by step)

THAT ADVICE AT THE END TO PICK UP THE STYLE OF PLAYING IS REALLY IMPORTANT....all beginners and intermediates should learn that the certain style and sound give the notes we hear the soul we love

Transcribe is an excellent program for this task

Limited reading and writing musical knowledge unfortunately. I can transcribe in my head right? Or is it imperative to be competent theoretically?

Great tutorial to help with my retirement plans of taking up the sax again ( after 45 years)

Great lesson, thank you!

I wish I could do the same thing with a JJ Johnson ballad. But i don´t have until 2030

Transcribe ( sevensthrings.com) is an excelent and not expensive software to use when transcribing music

thanks for this. this is pretty much how I do it.

This is very good video. Thanks.

Your really so helpful Scott, hats off to you man 👍

I had a mini disco that did that but you are 100% correct

Great lesson! THANK YOU!

For people needing the software for looping, I recommend Audacity. It's free and pretty good. Just Google how to loop in Audacity

thanks from Argentina

If you have a minute ,take a peak at my book ,primacy. Unfortunately I’m not able to get to. Post office to send copy

Good job .very lucid

Thanks garage band also let you loop and slow the tempo, the pitch seems remain the same ;)

I don't normally write music down when I'm learning a song but will start to do it cause that way it is more concreted in my playing. Thanks again Scott.

Love it! Thank you for posting this vid! ♥️

I watched this vdo 1 year ago, I was not enough mature to do it as I was a beginner tenor sax player.
I watched it again today as I started to transcribe some jazz standards and I really appreciated. I m right now transcribing Happy people from Kenny Garreett, i love it. Thanks for all Scott and be well.

Awesome.

Subscribed.

Great Lesson! You have broken down the process into manageable pieces that seems doable to even my old and addled mind!

Personally, I prefer to transcribe the entire solo by ear and THEN write it down. I find it cuts down on total time doing the transcription because you're already intimately familiar with it when you begin your dictation

Thanks, Scott. I am using these techniques for songs that I like, but never expected to be able to learn them. Now I can!

Fantastic video! I'm a classical player and I'm trying to do some transcribing myself!

Anytune Pro is a brilliant app for ipad.

Brilliant, Scott. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Love your teaching style!

I can find the notes but getting the timing written down on paper 🥴

Weird.......!

Thanks again Scott!! I don't need to sing with my voice to find a pitch. I use my horn for that. However, I was clueless about writing down the rhythm. Thanks for the clues. BTW, your voice does not suck. My teacher at Jazzwire, Jeff Antoniuk is a great sax player, as are you. He too thinks his voice sucks. I betcha you'd both make good singers. I use Audacity to loop with.

Lately, I've been hearing from a lot of professional, acclaimed musicians that one of the best things you can do to develop your ear and overall musical improvisation agility is to transcribe. This made me come back to this tutorial. Thanks Scott.

I guess I found me something to tack onto my continued development, Scott. I will try to do a bit of this once a week.

Happy new year, Scott! :-)

Thanks for this !!

Thank you for the articulation tips, very helpful. Dm,tenor sax
