back from jazz camp

I'm home. And my self esteem has been bashed pretty badly. But hey, it all works out cause I know the blues inside and out now...

yup... lots and lots of blues...

oh and I learned all the jazz "theory" shit. and I can hear intervals a lot better now.

but damn, why didn't I get it before? it's not fair...ish


and yeah, I've been considering commiting trumpet suicide (AKA changing embourchures, AKA relearning how to play trumpet from step -3)

for you, kevin

you are annoying man, but this was actually kinda fun...

I learned the structure of these chords. (I did learn lots of other things, but I don't care to list them all out here)

I learned how to listen for them too: (not always perfect, but 85% correct)
Key: (chord)="(feeling/imagery I associate it with)

CMaj= "lalala" <==happy
CMaj7= "lalala?"
C7= "uh huh, that's right"
Cm= "REJECTED!"
Cm7= "everybody knows u got rejected!"
Cdim= "hmm, it appears as if I'm tied to the railroad tracks"
C halfdim7= "oh look, light at the end...I have a bad feeling about this"
C fulldim7= "shit shit shit, it's the train and it's 10 feet away at full speed"
Csus= "Mountains!"

(and C can be replaced with any key, but I admit my listening accuracy would go down)
