The first half of the show was a tad weird but the second half was thrilling. I could not believe how many instruments he played. That four string blues guitar was a real revelation. Everyone in the hall was mesmerised. I liked his comedy stuff over the years but in person he is beyond genius.

There is a man who loves music, understands it's place in history, and how it is constructed. Then add the ability of a multi instrumentalist, and a quirky sense of humor, and you have the unique talents of Bill Bailey.

The sheer musical brilliance on display here is mind blowing & Bill should be world famous for the music stuff he does.

"Oh, to be talented"! - Chris Evans

This is why I always get a bit upset when people learning instruments say "Nah I don't need music theory, I'll just learn a few chords or progressions and make up the rest" - with music theory you can transpose your own songs and anyone else's into different keys and styles of music. Like, you can literally make music your bitch and do just about anything, you would be crazy not to want to learn as much as you can if you were interested in becoming a musician.

Depends what you want to do, but I generally agree... although some of the least creative/original musicians I know are also those with the most music theory knowledge. Interesting discussion about it here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/omh7q7qoj6Spos4.html

In theory. The person I know who knows the most music theory (a lot. Classically trained in piano and woodwind and went to jazz college) is also one of the least musically gifted I know. He can tell you what you’re playing and why it sounds nice. But he can’t make anything up himself that’s any more than functional. Instead of making music “his bitch” he’s a tedious bore who analyses everything and appreciates almost nothing.

Жыл бұрын

I agree on all but the transpose bit. Electronic keyboards have been able to transpose for some decades; I can't help thinking a lot more musical creativity would be around if the time learning to transpose hadn't put so many people off. (And if the "musical establishment" didn't look down so much on people who use the feature.) One of the great composers - I think it was Gershwin, but may be wrong about that - could only play in one key, but had an early version of the transpose function: a piano with a lever that moved the action horizontally. (Must have been a nightmare to create/line up!) Bill is marvellous though. Immensely knowledgeable, but quite happy to share his knowledge, in a manner more like a teacher than showing off. (All the best teachers manage that.) And entertaining too - and very _skilful_ with the music.
