That “quarter note swing”-thread, made me wonder of something..
That thread, to me, had a clear idea, namely someone who has some knowledge to share, shares the knowledge..
Simple as that..
To some people the knowledge makes sense, to some not…or not yet…..or maybe never in their life…
Which is also, simple as that…
That thread can be summerised like this..:
Thread starter stated within a jazz context the importance of learning to make the quarter note swing, followed by 9-10 pages of discussion saying that at least an 1/8 note HAS to be involved in order to swing…
Which was clearly not what thread-starter tried to teach…
What i am wondering about is this…:
Should such educational threads be moderated in a way that the thread-idea stays clear…..or……is everything up for discussion..?
I wonder about this, because someone who at least is curious on learning something regarding the thread-subject, can be completely turned off to the subject after reading 9 pages why the thread-subject makes no sense……which would be a pity….
In short..:
Is all knowledge up for debate..?
(And again, i only use that thread as an example, but wondered within the technique-section more oft about this….)
My own answer to the question is ‘no’ btw..
