Many people believe that learning a solo peaks when they’ve mastered the notes. However, this is merely the beginning, and in many instances, upon thinking they’ve learned all the notes correctly, they may soon discover they’ve only grasped about 40% of it. Beyond them lie important details like timing, dynamics, expressiveness, articulations, melodic development, form, the intricate relationship between what’s played in the solo and the rest of the band, etc. These nuances transform a sequence of notes into legendary solos, remembered and studied for decades.
But how can you be sure you’ve captured all these DETAILS if you always perform the solo with the original in the background?
Relying only on the original artist to guide you might be deceiving. Without that backing track, the gaps in terms of correct notes, timing, expressiveness, and those details that make a solo unforgettable in a lot of situations become glaringly clear. And maybe without the original record, if your ear is not well-developed, you might also not be able to realize that you are not playing all the notes correctly, despite thinking that you are practicing it correctly.
This is where LALAL becomes your ally in musical learning.
In today’s digital age, it’s easy to find online videos of musicians practicing famous solos along with records (I am one of them too). Yet, a closer listen often reveals that many haven’t fully mastered the transcription they are working on. Stripped of the original track, what might be left could be a solo with only few correct notes that sound good (in terms of sound), lacking the original’s time feel, among other discrepancies, and this happens more often when the difficulty (and BPM) of the solos increases.
LALAL offers a transformative solution, allowing you to remove the original solo from the track and practice alongside the band members. This helps you understand in a deeper way why the musician you’re transcribing chose to play his lines and how they are relate to what the band is playing. While practicing with a metronome is still useful, the LALAL approach adds depth on many aspects.
And without the original solo playing in the background, you can truly discern if your performance is accurate or if you’re masking any inaccuracies.
The process to do is super easy:
ARE YOU READY TO CHANGE YOUR APPROACH TO PRACTICING SOLOS AND STOP MERELY MIMICKING THEM ONLY ALONG WITH THE SOLOIST, ATTEMPTING TO CONCEAL NUMEROUS MISTAKES?
With LALAL, you prepare to not just understand where you are in the learning process of a solo, but to live, breathe, and understand every micro-detail that leads to the complete internalization what you are transcribing on the instrument.
