Actually, there's a third tradition: bossa nova as it's performed by Japanese musicians. I don't have the musical vocabulary to describe how it's different, but I can tell it has a distinct sound.

"It's just music." That is so true. I learned that lesson on 9/11. I was in a toxic jobbing band at the time. The name dropping about how great all these other local players were, rubbing our noses in it, combined with the constant dagger looks and "stink eye" over every little minor detail that wasn't perfect, particularly with guys who were subbing or an add on to that evening's gig who were sight reading poorly written charts was bad enough. The leader playing the victim after the gig as if he'll never get another call because the tenor player went a little out on a standard during dinner set, all the anal BS, was simply destroyed when I saw those buildings collapse. I quit some weeks after as I was doing a lot of soul searching, trying to figure out what was so important about music that people make a federal case out of being human. And it struck me, I was miserable because music had turned into this horrible habit like an addicting drug that players would feel so much pressure to be perfect that they constantly self-flagellated as a perverse means of comfort. I forgot why I fell in love with playing music in the first place. When I was a kid, it was fun and it gave me joy...simply. So, I bailed and looked for something else. I ended up playing with a bar band with people I knew that had an absolute blast on stage every single night. The audiences loved it, I could wear jeans, sneakers and a T shirt and the kicker, I was making comparable money without the sweaty tux, the load ins where I had to navigate the labyrinthian downtown hotel loading docks and kitchens, nor did I have to put up with the bullshit. I was smiling again and playing better than ever. At the end of the night bandmates patted each other on the back and during the gig if there was a clusterfuck, everybody had a good chuckle over it. It's not the end of the world. We're not performing surgery and we're not rushing into a building trying to find living humans that was destroyed by terrorists. It's just music.

Adam's response to the question of whether music belongs to its creator or the audience is very very good. He nailed it. Music is indeed a shared language; it is a link between composer and audience. We indeed interdepend on each other through music

as a very amateur producer - i do feel that learning keyboards is hella important to the process of producing. Being able to at least shred out the melody or chord without clicking over and over and moving the note helps so much with production

@weedanwine

3 жыл бұрын

As a not so amateur producer I can say you're 100% correct. Personally I've always had a very basic music theory understanding that I bought to music production but honestly thought it was all too hard for me, so I dived right into the production and engineering side of music. 15 years and 5 releases later I decided that not knowing theory and having any instrumental skills is what's holding me back, so now I'm working on that side of things. So I'm learning and honestly it's been a really good decision! In a way I'm glad I've done it this way around, it means I've grown as an artist and understand what I'm striving for in my sound. So learning more theory improves the way I can create "my sound" and having better instrumental skills means getting ideas down becomes quicker. You spend less time noodling around the piano roll/midi controller, although do not underestimate the power of noodling. It's amazing how much you can come up with just knowing basic intervals and noodling about! If you add great production on top of that then it can end in some grea results. Keep on creating!

This doe NOT apply to YOUR videos - they are never boring, always imformative, concise and clear. Thank you so much!!!

Thank god for him introducing me to Hiromi. Love her music.

4:50 I'm working on my B.Mus in Commercial Music at a state university, and our program has the option to focus on eng/prod or comp/arr instead of instrumental performance; all the students still need to play at least one instrument and/or sing, as well as be involved in at least one performing ensemble, but instrumental performance doesn't necessarily have to be the primary focus. I find this to be an effective balance for training well-rounded and versatile musicians.

Adam, when I finish watching your videos, specifically Q&As, I feel like I’ve got enjoyable homeworks to do, for example listening to the albums you recommend!

I can't tell how many times I came to Adam's channel just get motivation to keep writing music. +1 today

Another thing that’s notable when discussing the different feels of different keys, even in 12TET is the keys we are used to hearing by instrument; for example we are used to hearing guitars in G major/E minor or C major/A minor so we can make things sound a bit less expected by using other keys; some are less strange like switching to F major or D major, but using something like F minor on a guitar can sound strange, especially with the open strings that will often sneak in there adding in some hidden dissonance. Similarly, we’re used to hearing violins in variations of G, D, A, and E, banjos in G, etc.

Or Bm7 (started on the A string), but instead of playing it barred, you let the G and E strings ring. I don't know what it is about that maj 2 AND min 2 together that sounds so surprisingly nice, but it does.

@kenkinnally6144

4 жыл бұрын

Partly because most people do not have perfect pitch, but also just in general I really question this notion that different keys have different feels, especially in a culture that regularly uses a 12 tone tempered system of music. The main way playing a piece in a different key matters is if by transposing a piece up or down too far from it's 'normal' key you are pushing a particular instrument(s), including a human voice, too close to it's technical limit for making a clean, clear note, or just significantly changing it's timbre. As a piano player I don't worry too much about that for most songs but if I played French horn or saxophone I'd be concerned about it more often. Wind and certain string instruments are made in a variety of keys for just that reason. Of course on piano if a certain piece reaches the upper and/or lower limits of the keyboard in certain parts then it matters more where you are 'starting' because that will determine what that very high part or low part sounds like. But once again that is because of the technical limits of an 88 key piano: the very high notes get kind of 'flat' and cold sounding and the very low notes get kind of 'rumbly' or boomy, less distinct. So that melodic line or chord when played at those fringes will have a different emotional impact or effect because of the mechanical nature of the instrument and the sound it produces. Not because A major is "strong and noble" whereas C sharp major is "yearning or reflective". Another way it could matter is if by transposing a piece up or down, in other words playing it in a different key, you are simply taking a melody or arrangement that works better in a certain pitch range and putting it in too high or low of a new pitch range for it to have the same subjective effect. In other words it's the particular song and instrumentation that works better in a certain area of pitch range. Change it slightly and it might not matter. Transpose it five whole steps and you might have big problems. You wouldn't expect to hear Frank Sinatra singing up in the area of that guy in Air Supply or Rush, or vice versa. And it would not be just the fact that Sinatra had been crooning in E before he switched keys and the rock bands had been wailing away in B before they switched keys that would make things drastically different. It would be what the particular melodies and instrumental parts of those songs demanded in terms of pitch/octave range, and changing the timbre of all the instruments extending into those new ranges. Plus the learned cultural baggage of not being used to hearing singers we already know well, singing outside of their accustomed range and style. It would not be because E major as a key is "easy and swinging" whereas B major is "athletic or hard rocking". Any key can conjure up anything if the right piece is played in it. As musicians we may get used to certain styles of music normally played in certain keys, like some of the flat keys for horn arrangements in Stax or old R&B. So because of the the technical nature of the instruments used, those songs were and are normally played in those keys and we associate them with certain things or subjective feelings or memories. It is not because the key of E flat itself conjures up the Mississippi Delta. So if every day we hear the opening to 'Also Sprach Zarathrusta' because it's the sound our computer makes when we turn it on, and one night we hear a local school band or orchestra play it transposed up a step and we think "that sounds different", and like most people we are not blessed with perfect pitch, it's because we are so use to hearing it on a regular basis that we notice the difference, which I guess would be considered a form of relative pitch. If we think it sounds better the old way that's because we are used to it. Maybe those low opening tones don't have quite as much heft raised up a step. If as the piece develops we notice those high woodwinds sound a bit shrill here or there, that might be because in the new transposed key, up a step from what the composer intended, some of the instruments just don't sound quite as lovely pushed to the edge. Not because of some mystical reason that one key has certain characteristics and another key has other characteristics. And just because I have no idea when to stop, if you played the opening to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in D minor instead of C sharp minor like it should be, no one would notice the difference. Except for piano tuners, people with perfect pitch, and maybe some classical musicians or aficionados who had just recently heard it or were practising it themselves. Even though C sharp minor is the key of pensive melancholy tinged with a sense of profundity and D minor is clearly the key of rowing in a rented boat on a Sunday afternoon or smoking a spliff in Jamaica. Thanks for listening to my rant, I really enjoyed writing it lol. 😊

Whereas other genres are rollercoaster ride of emotions, jazz for me is a safari. Riding along familiar roads yet full of little surprises. Enjoying the ride, and going on it again and again to find different things. The subsets that focus on technical mastery or boundary-breaking seem more like sports and "art", so while I love them and appreciate them, not my top priority.

Reminds me of Jamerson, where people learn his basslines in the regular rock bass style of playing, in that 'box' usually centred around the 5th to 7th frets, and using alternating finger plucking. It never sounds quite right. Once you learn to use one finger in first position with a lot of open strings, Jamerson lines come alive. It all flows together in the way that he played it, unlike the more stilted sound you get from the more standard approach.

Hey Adam! A couple of curiosities about Bossa Nova and Garota de Ipanema.... Garota de Ipanema was written in 1962 by Tom Jobim with lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes in F, the original key from The Real Book. João Gilberto and Stan Getz changed the key to Db for the album Other interesting fact: Bossa Nova is originated from Samba, as it absorbed Jazz influence... although it's never described by their own musicians as an Artistical Movement but rather a Samba Style, since it was developed organically with no Manifesto or proper set of rules. So even though there is no doubt that Bossa Nova has Jazz on its roots, composers such as Carlos Lyra insist on calling it Samba, not Jazz. Regardless that 1962 Bossa Nova's show at the Carnegie Hall was considered the introduction of the style to the US public, the US Jazz absorbed later great influence back from Bossa Nova when in 1967 Frank Sinatra invited Tom Jobim for an Album, looking for ways of innovating Jazz - that was being taken over by the Rock in the radio stations. But to be honest I did more of a Historical background research over the subject and never developed any analysis over what technically was brought as Bossa Novas' fresh elements to Jazz, besides the "João Gilberto's batida". BONUS interesting fact: Frank Sinatra & Tom Jobim's recording of "Garota de Ipanema" is in F I would like to take this opportunity to say that I really enjoy your channel's content...it is always very educative and fun to watch:)

Why do I like to listen to you - You are open, modest, knowledgeable and a person with a spine - a rare combination these days

Adam, Weather Report and Chick Corea...you just nailed about 20% of my mobile cassette library as a kid, back when it was just out! :-) I really appreciate the depth you work down to in these videos. It is obvious that even with all the knowledge you have accumulated you spend a LOT of time putting these videos together. Sometimes it amazes me how much, actually. Keep up the good work, a few of us are probably even learning something...kicking and screaming, of course, but some of it sneaks in nonetheless! ;-)

I’m freaked out because I just got done writing a song where the solo section starts with these EXACT two chords

Dude, I always loved your videos, but because of this one I heard Sungazer Electro and it's really awesome!!!! kind a visionary! loved the crazy and fast eletronic constant explosion of sounds over good quality chords

Love your videos and powerful knowledge ... Kudos

I have mild synesthesia and G is sky blue! It's like one of my favorite note colors next to D, which is deep ocean blue.

For those interested in fusion: check out Japanese band called Casiopea. Mint Jams here on KZread is, for me, some of the best fusion-style music out there.

Flippin' loved this video. Going to sign up for Nebula. Gotta Patreon you, too. Haven't seen a bad video from you. As a former cathedral and high Anglican choirboy, but who never learned to read music---and LOATHED music theory in college, had to drop it, but also a jazz hound since I was 12---your videos are challenging but very understandable to me. I was also a visual arts professor for a decade, and I can say with that authority that you are an excellent teacher. Big, Big Kudos!

What an overload thank you man

Hello Adam Neely, I love your KZread channel, thank you for being such a responsible influencer. I have a question, why does EVERY national anthem around the world use western tuning? They even go so far as to incorporate classical european features as much as possible...

Some day I will get lots of instruments. Right now MuseScore is working for me. Don't have much monies for them right now. Will keep that in mind, learning an actual instrument would be dope.

Man these videos help me so much with understanding music theory, and half of this is all new to me cus I dont rly listen to jazz

Bilmuri did an interesting thing I'd never heard before at the end of his song THEMURIWITHHUMANHAIR; it was I think a bass boost? It's hard for me to explain but I think that's right.

For your next Q&A: What is the most beautiful minor chord progression you ever heard?

You introduce me to new nice pieces of music. Thank you.

I'm not a jazz guy but I love your channel. (Also Sungazer is dope and hopefully I can catch you guys live someday when the apocalypse is over).

For some reason my phone decided to turn up the volume right when Neely said B A S S B O O S T E D S O U N D

Hey Adam, I was considering Todd In The Shadows and the opinions on the concept of genre that he expressed in his Old Town Road video. Your thoughts? Do we even still need genres? Are the lines between them blurring more these days? Thanks and keep up the great vids.

I think we are entering a world of musical exploration. I did a whole college final on this last semester. I mean we have trap music which is trance and rap combine into one genre. Blues became rock and rock split into punk, alternative and metal. Pop music does this thing where every few years there is a hit trend. Like I reemember there was a time where vintage was hot and we got songs like Dear Future Husband, which had this doowop vibe.

Damn, almost a million subs now, congrats Adam!

It's funny, you echoed my sentiments exactly on Hiromi demonstrating the fun of a modern sound to jazz, except for me I first got it from that live session Louis Cole and Domi did. In fact, you introduced me to both Knower and Hiromi so many thanks Adam, I'm really liking the album Brain where Kung Fu World Champion is from.

Omg you NEED to listen to "The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady" jazz is more of an "oh that's cool" thing for me (More about the theory I guess) but I would actually listen to this album.

Re: non-instrumental majors in schools, don't most schools still require that everybody learn piano? At my school (UofAZ), everybody had to do a year of piano, and education and composition majors had to do two.

it's very visual, so it helps a lot when learning harmony because it's easier to see the chords evolving rather than just conceptualizing them

Question for your next Q+A :- What makes a good bassline?? I was watching one of your Q+As and you said your favourite bassline was from "once in my life" by Stevie wonder, I looked for it, and found it cool and a bit unusual for me..... But does it serve the song in a way I don't see?? Love your videos keep up the good work

I'm having an existential crisis thinking about matter and how inconsequential us and the matter around us are in the grand scheme of things. Usually I would enjoy this video, but today I'm feeling like music is one of many distractions to stop us from thinking the thoughts I'm thinking right now. :)
