Hey, Adam.

0:10.4

Sorry to disturb your practicing.

0:12.1

What are you playing there?

0:13.6

I don't know.

0:14.2

Some secondary dominance.

0:16.8

Is that like playing second fiddle?

0:19.6

It is on this podcast.

0:22.0

Oh. I'm Adam Manus.

0:45.2

And you're listening to the You'll Hear podcast.

0:46.8

Daily jazz advice, coming at you.

0:49.2

Coming at you.

0:49.9

Today, we are brought to you by our sponsor.

0:52.6

Yes. Any tune.

0:53.9

Any tune. Now, is that, does you get like Any Tune ever? Yeah, any Tune. Any Tune has sponsored us. Every song ever written. No, Any Tune is an app. It's an app for your iPhone, for your Mac, for your Android device. And, you know, we don't throw around the, well, Actually, we do throw around the word game changer a lot around here. We do. But on good stuff. I mean, some of the things we talk about game changing, like learning solos, listen, we rank this up there. That's why we are confident in saying that any tune will be a game changer for serious musicians in your practice routine. That's right. Yeah, it's got a bunch of amazing great features. So not only can you slow a track

1:32.8

down without losing the pitch, not only can you loop, but you can set things like markers

1:39.4

throughout the track so that you can easily go back. So this is like a game changer for when you want to

1:45.7

loop a section over and over again. Or maybe you want to go through a couple different sections

1:49.7

and like, oh, I wish I could start from the bridge again. You can do that. You can also do these

loops where you start at half speed. It loops it like nine or ten times and each time it gets

1:58.9

a little bit faster. So great for picking up things at tempo. And then there's the game-changing feature of being able to isolate or subtract an instrument from a track. So, like, if you're listening to, like, you know, Miles Davis, you know, at the plug nickel or whatever, you can take out the drums, and you can just hear the things without drums, or you can just highlight the piano. It's pretty amazing. It is amazing. And the reason it's for serious musicians that, you know, it's a serious tool for serious musicians that want to improve is because, you know, as a listener, you don't need all that. You just want to listen to the track. Right. But as practitioners of this music, we want to study and, you know, number one listen, but then

2:34.6

apply that. So this is really, you know, we're not big preachers of shortcuts, but this does kind of give you a little bit of a shortcut. You still need to do the work and hear it, but it makes that the ability, especially for transcribing. Yeah. And getting into a routine by putting up the markers and just working on one section over and over again.

2:32.3

It takes a lot of the drudgery and just working on one section over and over again.
