Congrats! I’m fourteen and thinking about going to a music college when I’m older. You got a full tuition scholarship? How hard is that? My parents most likely won’t be able to pay for prestigious music colleges, so I considered scholarships and aid as an option.

I have a full tuition scholarship to berklee and honestly the secret to getting one is to play an atypical instrument and be very fluent in straight ahead jazz. Also well-roundedness is something berklee values a lot, so being fluent in other styles is great, as well as having a great ear and sight reading skills. If you play guitar or sing, your chances are very slim

Chris Allison lies I auditioned on bassoon. I was very well rounded in jazz and normal bassoon styles. First time I only got a $30k, second audition(because I still didn’t have enough money) and was given NO money.

30k is pretty damn good man. It sucks that it wasn't enough but you should be proud of that. And I was probably a little wrong with the bassoon/bass clarinet thing. They will have high priority for instruments that are in demand, and right now, I can tell you that we desperately need more bari players. They are needed for a ton of projects and there isn't nearly enough supply for the demand. Bassoon is really only used for film scoring stuff and the few orchestras here, but now that we merged with Boston Conservatory, we likely don't need as many.

Hey Adam, I really like your videos with information about some of your insights on music. Like your comparison video of polyrhythms and intervals was really mind-blowing for me. There are already many channels with gear reviews but the stuff you're doing with cool theory and quality application is much more scarce. Keep it up bro! =]

Great vid Adam. Always well done

Love the video as always, Adam. Great work translating all that lovely work at music school to a forum the rest of us can learn from. I'd personally love to see you review some gear that is relevant and interesting to you. I think I and the rest of us might learn some aspects we rarely get to see from proper rock dudes like the Andertons peeps and Glenn Fricker, and at the very least it'd be great to see some of the same kind of tech they do used in a totally different context.

Hey Adam, I really like your videos and admire your ingenuity and style of music composing. Have you ever considered making more videos (or possibly live streams) where you just compose a piece? I find these kind of thing super inspiring

Hi Adam! I'm a tubist primarily and also play bass on the side, and I was wondering -- How do you protect your equipment when traveling through NYC, especially through public transit? Seeing as you're visibly carrying an instrument around a large metro area, do you worry about theft? I've never lived in the "big city" but I've been looking at a few different grad schools in metro areas, and the thought of carrying an instrument around those sorts of places scares me. Any tips or advice? Thanks!

Adam - I discovered the OC-2/Michael League trick by accident years ago when fooling around playing high up on the neck. My theory is that by plucking exactly at the halfway point of the effevtive string length you are not allowing any of the even order harmonics to sound because you're disrupting the node that would normally exist at that spot. So you hear the fundamental, the third harmonic etc. I think it's actually the lack of the 2nd harmonic that is primarily responsible for the sound. It's different from the OC-2 which is basically a generated squarewave an octave down that is then filtered into something more round and sinewave like. Anyway, I'm really digging the channel.

Hi Adam! Long time watcher, first time commenter. I teach a music class with 5th and 6th grade students playing in a rock band setup - drums, bass, guitar. Do you have any recommendations for group music / improv games and exercises, or even just general resources for teaching rock and jazz to beginners / intermediates? Thanks! PS - plz go bak to pronuncing the comments da weigh dey r ritten k thx bai

I really appreciate your videos. As a self taught guitarist I’ve acquired a whole slough of bad habits and I’m truly trying to address these issues. Some of these issues are kind of vague while others aren’t. That being said I find just immersing myself in these kinds of discussion helps. Anyhow, thanks.

I've been to NYC precisely one time. On that trip I happened to go see Sally Ford at the Rockwood. Great little intimate venue. Highly recommend.

Hi Adam! Do you think that it's worth it to get a music education degree if you're planning on going into music performance as a profession, even if you're not super into teaching? Also what's your opinion on getting a dual degree from a joint or local school (if you're attending a conservatory) so you can have a "practical" degree if you ever need it? Another thing - would it be more useful to get a minor in business along with a music performance major so you have more options in the music industry to make money besides teaching? Sorry for the multiple and long questions, I'm just a bit nervous and unsure of where to go in college and in the musical field that is practical but what I want to be doing. Thanks

at 6:35 he meant to say they high pass everything below 50 hz. to low pass means you are only hearing the low frequencies. filtering out lower frequences = high pass (the high frequencies "pass" through the filter).

How do you transcribe? Is it very useful? What is your opinion on it

14:00 get musician's ear plug! I played classical piano since five and always wanted to express myself freer with Jazz and improvisation. I have very sensitive ears. I was so glad that my private teacher at 1st semester of Berklee, Laszlo Gardony, suggested me to get musician's ear plug from Northeastern University right away so that I am able to protect my precious hearing getting into the contemporary music scene! Highly recommend those!

I would like to hear Adam discuss the idea that while music school helps develop skills that can be used to make a living: reading, facility with their instrument, etc., it does nothing and is even counter productive to creativity. I love music from the history of jazz, blues and rock. My perception is that most of the most unique voices and most important influences developed their styles outside of schools. Examples: Armstrong, Lester, Bird, Monk, Ornette, Coltrane, Bloomfield, Hendrix. I'm not saying lessons are bad but to immerse yourself in school for several years at a time when your development would allow your personal voice to emerge seems like it would have a negative impact on creating an original voice. Guitarists that have emerged in the last thirty years are all pretty indistinguishable to me. They are either pentatonic shredders or metal finger pattern speed freaks. Jazz has a history of major voices coming along that influence how others play their instruments, people with unique ways of phrasing and using rhythm or harmony. I can't think of any new, unique voices in jazz for the past several decades although there are certainly many very skilled musicians now. It seems that the technical abilities of generations of musicians build on the previous generations and technical abilities of really expanded. At least in rock and blues it seems to be about showing off now and the best way to do that is to play what everyone else is playing only better, sort of like the American Idol syndrome, music as contest or sport. While I appreciate Adam's videos, they are fun to consider and I love all that theory discussion I still worry about the state of musical creativity. I'm referring only to musical ability on an instrument, not electronic fiddling with a DAW or other sound manipulation but instrumental ability. Thanks if you actually read this far.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'd enjoy a gear review every once in a while.

Hello Adam, I recently tried learning a piece in 7/8 (on guitar) and I noticed my breathing was really off, to the point that I got a bit dizzy. I'm convinced it was because I had to concentrate on the odd time signature, since it doesn't happen any other time and the actual guitar part was quite simple. Do you have any experience with this, or some tips? Thanks.

If the low E on bass is below our hearing range, why does playing the natural harmonic on the 12th fret sound different from just the unfretted string?

Hey Adam, I wonder how you feel about working with people who aren't as educated or trained musically. Do you ever end up in performances or groups like that, or do the people in your network generally avoid hiring someone without a music degree? Obviously I'm asking because I'm one of those people, and I'm always super intimidated playing around "real musicians". In general I find them to be encouraging in person, or casual conversation, but they don't exactly go out of their way to gig or jam with the less-experienced.

I'm so glad he ended up doing the entire Clarity cover, I just love that song, Adam's version I mean.

Great, Adam! Have you ever considered making a video on Messiaen's modes of limited transposition? I believe there are many ways of approaching this subject and it has a lot to do with your content. Just a suggestion.

Sup Adam, I would like to know how in sheet music do you understand what position a note is played in ( on a stringed instrument). The people I've asked this question only say that there will be notation for it in the piece but of the few I've seen there's been about only one that has actually notated where you needed to play the note. Would love to hear back

How would you recommend avoiding writing music that would be called "Berklee Funk"?

Hi Adam, thank you for all the information that you share in your videos. Could you explain how Geddy Lee's right hand technique works? From what I can see he uses mainly his index finger and sometimes the middle one, isn't this going against the more traditional approach of playing bass alternating index-middle finger? On the other hand, I'm baffled by how Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse uses three fingers all of the time. Any thoughts about this? Thanks again.

so if everyone uses their car stereo as a base standard of how well a song sounds, what are your thoughts mixing a song on your laptop that's being played through your car stereo? wouldn't that kinda of be a solve for the discrepancies is translation between what you hear in a monitor mix and what you actually hear in a car stereo?

Hi Adam! @10:15 Can you please make a whole video of this concept? I find it very interesting, and as a fan of the old disco hits such as "I will survive" I'd like to go more in depth on the subject. Is it just random/subjective you choose a chord for a specific note, or is there a system to write faster with this technique? Also as a bassist I find it hard to write basslines when the chords are all over the place, I'm a supposed to just play the root notes of the chords the pianist/guitarist is playing? Do you have any advise on literature? Love your stuff and would support via patreon unless I was a student with no job.

Anybody else kind of sad that AN didn't bring up the Octocontrabass (string) with low frequencies?

Hey Adam, do you have a link to that drumming channel? Thanks

Hi Big fan of your content I have a couple of questions 1. Do you recommend using ear protection for classical music rehearsals?

I play the double bass and just began learning the bass guitar. Do you have any tips/advice? 3. A part of question 2, I've noticed when playing bass guitar that my wrist will hurt, as my fingers are in strange positions. Are there any things you do to make life easier? Thanks for your help

Hey Adam! With all of the theory and all of the music education on your mind, do you sometimes find it hard to make music around the feeling and pushing out the technicality side of things?

Great video as always Adam. I'd like to learn to compose for film. What skills do you think are important for that? And do you know some great resources that can help?

Thank you, I sure do have the time and the interest. Matter of fact... I just tried those other two you suggested, Dorian b5 and Phrygian b4, I must say they ring quite oddly in my ears. I have this major harmonic-ish scale I play a lot (the third is major, so...) 1 b2 maj3 p4 p5 b6 maj7 8 Any ideas on what this might be? It could be a mode of the harmonic minor... I just crashed into this a long time ago while noodling off on the guitar.

It might not be that your speakers aren't producing bass, and that's why you encounter an overabundance in a car, it could be that you're physically sitting and listening at a position in your room that has a serious bass null. So you perceive much less low end than is actually coming off the speakers. I had this problem for a while, read a lot by Ethan Winer about room acoustics and tuning, and reconfigured. Made a gigantic difference.

Haha, quoted in an Adam Neely video, my internet life feels complete :) Thank you very much for your answer, I'll try and do that :) Cheers!

Great job, as always. It just wouldn't be Monday without your videos. Am I correct in assuming that I won't be able to get undertones on the open strings of my cello? Do I have to finger a note to make it work, or am I just not applying enough pressure to the open strings with the bow? I can't play too loudly; the upstairs neighbors are only tolerant to a point, if you know what I mean (and I think you do). Thank you for doing what you're doing!

Hey Adam!!!! Great channel, very entertaining. I was wondering what software you use for video editing. After seeing this video, I actually would love to start a channel focused on keys. I feel like my approach and perspective on keyboards/piano might be valuable for others. Thanks.

Given the huge amount of sound systems and headphones there are, do you think it's possible to mix/master in a way it will sound good in every one of them? 😮 It looks like to me we gotta choose in what sort of equipment we want the music to sound the best and go for it. Given the huge number of people who listen to music in crappy headphones and cell phones lately, I chose to add a little extra bass in my stuff.

The reason for using a car stereo is because of a couple of reasons. It's a horrid listening environment where you can never sit close to the ideal listening spot, i.e. the centre. So getting it to sound good there means it will probably sound good on most systems. The second bit is a lot of people listen to music in a car. Also, the speakers are ill placed and all over the place which means you are sort of getting a mono representation of a stereo sound. So again, getting it to sound good in mono means it will sound ok in stereo. Those are a couple of reasons but again, testing mixes on multiple sources is always good :)

Adding extra bass won't really matter if people listen to your music on speakers that can't reproduce those frequencies, i almost always add some type of distortion to my bass to make it audible on shitty speakers. Even on really chill and clean sounding tracks i usually add a little soft saturation or sineshaping distortion.

In my musicianship class we are having to use Curwen hand signs while we sight sing pieces of music. I really don't see the point of this. The pieces of music we are singing are super easy melodies but, when the professor had us do the hand signs and solfege at the same time the whole class just fumbled notes all over the place, as well as loosing beat. We couldn't even make it through eight measures with out a fumble. I feel that the Curwen hand should be pulled from the curriculum as it is useless. What are your experiences and thoughts on these hand signs Adam?

Now your major and minor scales and youll be fine

i didn't know the low E on a bass is almost at the bottom of our hearing range. interesting. so is that why the lowest couple of notes on the piano sounds so messy and almost out of tune? A0 is 27.5 hz, which is getting pretty close to the cutoff of human hearing. i find the low B on a 5 string bass to have a similar effect, especially on an acoustic bass guitar. it seems like i'm hearing more of the harmonics than the actual fundamental.

I think every mixing studio (including my bedroom) should have a full set of car speakers installed for listening purposes... The low-end in cars is way different than any off the shelf monitors you'll find.

Hey Adam, I've been having this doubt for a while now, and I was trying to figured it out myself, but as you are a great teacher here it goes: How does the almost free jazz improvisation works? like in Bitches Brew, and In a Silent Way by Miles Davis or even his works from the 2nd Quintet... Or Herbie stuff from the 70s, early Weather Report, John Coltrane in some stuff and jazz fusion in its begginings? They play brave and bold stuff outside the box, still you hear some kind of harmony, and you hear a lot of interplay, and I don't get how the heck they don't get lost... 'Cause in normal jazz, even if it goes to a place of playing outside the box, you still can sing in your head the melody or something, in some of the tunes of the people I mentioned, you don't really have that option. And in Free Jazz they play acording to dynamics, but freely right? like almost at "chance"... but when the two worlds combine that makes my head hurt hahaha 'cause I love that stuff, it's so bold. Thanks Adam, I'm a big fan of your channel and of Sungazer and Inside//Outside

Thoughts on Tech Death Metal bass wise ?, I feel like their composition and technique kinda preserves the art of playing the bass in some way.

Adam, thanks for introducing me to Ben Levin, he's really great. Would you work with him more in the future/do you two stay in contact? Not just working on videos, but on some type of actual music. You two both are in these great "genre-less" experimental bands in a similar vein (Ben Levin Group and Sungazer), not to mention the incredible chops you both have on your instruments. It would be really interesting to see you two collaborate on some kind of composition.

Hey Adam, all New Agey stuff aside, binaural beats are a lot simpler than you mentioned. As you mentioned, you need two individual tones routed separately into each ear. They need to be low frequency because it doesn't work with high frequency tones. Once this is done, the difference in frequencies between the tones (which again has to be a low difference, not more than around 10 Hz I think) causes the brain to hear a beat at the frequency of the difference, in this case a beat of 10 Hz. What this does is make you high if you listen to it for a while. That's all it really is for the most part, a safe way to get high :D There is even an app called Digital Drugs for this in the Play store.

Hey Adam if you don't mind can you tell me if the debt you get from Berkeley is even possible to pay off?

Hey, last week came Esperanza Spalding to Perú, every bass player went to see her new show. Had you hear it? (may you know her as a classmate...?) talking about that, what are your feelings about fretless bass guitars? are they really worth it? for a first or second bass?. btw, excelent channel!

Hi adam! I'm from Ecuador and I'm curious about knowing who is the guy you are talking about at 12:18.

Are you still doing Q&A every Monday? Or even once a week? I swear they don't come up that much. Is my algorhythm broken?

What did you major in when you were at Berklee?

Adam! You should look up David Larson! He is a bass singer and does a bunch of lessons on sub harmonic singing. From my understanding It is essentially using the 'vocal fry' to create the illusion of an octave drop in your voice. It is also one of the techniques that avi from pentatonix uses to hit such low tones. You should check it out, and if you find any more interesting information about it I would love to hear it on your channel! :D

High-pass. Ahem Great video as ever.

I have impression that I've already seen parts of that video (I think that Adam already did video about A=432Hz in almost the same terms).

You were talking of jazz rendition of classical music have you heard the quintessence saxophone quintet, i don't know if you check your old vid comments but others might enjoy too anyway : )

That thing about the low E string being 40 hz and i checked how a pure 40hz wave sounds and it is insanely low! This thing that we hear the first harmonic a octave up on the bass really changed my thinking about everything, especially about the low B string, which is B0, you shouldnt even be able to hear the fundemental at around 30 hz. Thanks!

@bayleev7494

4 жыл бұрын

I thought the threshold for human hearing was 20Hz... I could be wrong though.

You should just do your videos as usual and just make a 1-3 minute section at the end with you doing a quick summary of a new piece of gear you've tried. This way your channel can still stay with what you primary do, as well as having a secondary bonus piece at the end of your video. Idk I think that would be cool and can get you some free gear! Either way your videos are awesome and keep up the great work :)

I have ventured into recordings of some of my favorite albums tuned to 432Hz. I suppose not surprisingly, I found it rather unsettling because my ears were really offput by what seemed like off-tune music. I suspect my experience might be different if hearing new music for the first time in 432.

Just a point on music college. You said that you are always surrounded by other musicians. This is true for about 30 weeks in the year. Assuming you don't do the summer semester, you are not in music school for 22 weeks. It seems to me to be fairly well balanced.

About the gear review: couldn't you turn it into a discussion about what that piece of gear does to the electric input of your instrument and the way that affects our perception of it as sound? For example, discussing what a given effects pedal might do the waveform of the input sound, or vibrations in a speaker, and the broader musical/psychological connotations of these effects. I think that would be interesting!

2:20 you had me at meme-filled ~a e s t h e t i c~ stuff

This music at the end is really dope. Can you just post that as a track?

If you had groups of musicians playing the upper harmonics you could get some interesting pieces which imply fundamentals. Maybe somewhat avant-garde but applicable none the less.

I learned a new violin technique from that video so I thought it was awesome

If you're serious about not being able to mix properly for sub-optimal speakers like a car stereo you should consider picking up a set of Avantone Mix cubes!

If I have a loud gig I wear earplugs, either Army style with a dampening chamber or regular orange foam. If not available, I gently chew stiff paper and stuff it in. After 50 years playing gigs, very little loss of hearing
