How to Be Imagine Dragons! 

Don’t step on my cat and flippity floppity were my favorite techniques to master.

Why does every song Stevie make ironically sound unironically GOOD?

1. Don’t step on my cat (Drum sequence) 2. Repeating lick (2-3 Note loop in any low pitch instrument) 3. Tip over the brown cow (Power in instrumental solo) 4. Flippity Floppity (Triplet “combo” note sequence”

I actually searched this out today specifically to hear the final song. It's that good! Anthony's voice is crazy good and Stevie's music is, as always, purely amazeballs.

bold of you to assume Imagine Dragons would put a guitar solo on their songs

Stevie T is someone who says, "I can do that," and actually does.

Dude, so amazing. It’s crazy how good the song actually sounds. Not sure who the drummer was but man, he sure can write some good don’t step on my cat beats. 🤙🏼

Let's appreciate how great singer Anthony is 🔥

Stevie really just wrote Imagine Dragons' next song for free and they didn't even thank him

Stevie is trying to joke around a lot but he does a seriously good job at remaking songs...like wow dude soo much talent

This is surprisingly accurate as much as it is a parody it’s pretty spot on.

You are both amazingly talented! Great job. This should be on the radio for SUREEE

Stevie T should make a Spotify podcast exposing bands' techniques

It's nice to see Chris Cornell's son and Jim Carrey's granddaughter collaborating

@SteveTerreberry should really make some sort of Spotify playlist of all the songs he makes.

This is amazing.. to see my 2 favourite youtube personalities in a collab is just friggin awesome... You both need to do more!!

This sounds like Imagine Dragons more than Imagine Dragons themselves.

This dude is goofy AF but he's actually really talented and skilled.

I love the fact you are one of the best music theory teachers and have achieved GUITAR GOD fame all without leaving your house. Keep up the awesomeness and thanks for all the fishes.

Honestly, solid song, I'd listen to it if it were on the radio. Not an Imagine Dragons fan, but there isn't necessarily anything wrong with music that's formulaic. All music is to a degree. Even classical music, which we consider so complicated now, was formulaic to a degree. For example, a concerto. It is a composition focused on bringing out the qualities of a solo instrument, but with accompaniment. It's usually made up of three movements, a lento or adagio, and then a presto or allegro. It's generally in a single key. Thing is, music needs some kind of structure to be really enjoyable. You could just throw a bunch of random chromatic notes together and that would be very "avant garde". But it wouldn't be pleasant to listen to. It's the formulaicness that makes music pleasing. That said, i do prefer more complex and adventurous music. The key with that is to have a structure, but push the limits of that structure as far as possible, but without breaking it entirely. Like when you're improvising. If you only play the blues scale of whatever chord it is, its going to sound correct, but be a bit boring (to me at least). You have to throw in a few well placed notes which are outside the current blues scale. Maybe one which can be used to transition into the next. Or one which can be used to create a bit of discord which is quickly resolved in order to accent a certain chord progression. Or idk, the possibilities are endless, but if you play too many notes outside the blues scale, it will begin to sound wrong. Where that line is, youll have to find for yourself. TLDR What makes music different from random notes IS THE FORMULA. But to be exciting, music should use a formula, and then break the rules of it just enough to titillate the listener, but not too much to where the formula has been discarded entirely.

literally every song you've made is an absolute bop, and *WE NEED THEM AS AN ALBUM ON SPOTIFY* (the "how to be _____" album)

The level of geniuism of Stevie T is beyond of human boundaries.

Been watching your videos for some time now, and you are unbelievably talented Steve! And this song is awesome 😁

It's been a long time since I've watched a StevieT video and I forgot how talented he is and somehow manages to pull off the hilarity too this was awesome and enjoyable. Thanks for the good content Stevie!

If someone told me this was a new imagine dragons song I wouldn't even question it.

This entire video is incredible

why is this something i’d actually listen to 😂 my man you high key made a joke you thought of into an entire work of art. it’s funny, but it has an insane sense of musicality that the both of you added to it. honestly, great video, i love this content!

The techniques Steve uses are way more useful than I thought they would be.

the fact that this sounds like it could be on the radio literally proves his point

The people who disliked can’t imagine dragons (edit: how tf did this get almost 2K likes lmao)

No cap this is legit fire. The flippity floppity really fits in well. Along with the brown cow technique

As an Imagine Dragons fan i can say that this is so funny to see and the final result it's so cool ✨✨ congrats

If this doesn't make you imagine dragons, nothing will.

“This video has been copyright claimed by Imagine Deagons.“

Thank you for this thorough walk-through. ❤️

This is so awesome!! Its really sound like imagine dragons song.. But with a rocking guitar solo.. Incredible as always

Stevie: Imagine Dragons' guitarist doesn't do much. Me: ...They have a guitarist?

*"DONT STEPONMYCAT* *DONT STEPONMYCAT* *FLIPPITY FLOPPITY* *FLIPPITY FLOPPITY"* Thats how it works (Imagine Dragons - believer song)

This is so late 90's MTV it brings a tear to my eyes

What an amazing combination of skill and humor! Bravo!

Meanwhile in Imagine Dragons HQ: -WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!

Bro, your "How to sound like" series is among the best musical content on RU-vid. Hilarious yet freakingly skilled! Kudos!

Steve you are a fantastic talent and Anthony is a phenominal vocalist absolutely love the man

It's the songs like these that make you appreciate metal that much more. The simplicity of this makes me wanna fall asleep. I do , however, appreciate the effort Steve, and I know you're just making a point here.

Imagine Dragons song structure: Chorus, Chorus, Chorus, Chorus, Chorus, End

This guy is extremely good at analysing music

Incredible as usual haha great job!!

GOLD!!! So good man I can't even describe. Great freaking work man. Wow!

When Steve makes a parody and it's actually better than the original...

Steve: "Imagine Dragons guitarist needs more to do". Me: They have a guitarist?

The song they did in this actually got stuck in my head and I can’t stop singing it

If the final product had the actual singer for imagine dragons, they probably wouldn't be able to tell this was making fun of them

I swear, that should be a radio hit.

How to be imagine dragons: *go on impractical jokers*

love this vid so much

I love everything about Steve! Genuinely, I know I would probably die of laughter being around him but I’m betting it’s worth it!

Dude you literally need to do “how to be the white stripes” 🤣

Steve: *Tries to make a generic and bad song* Also Steve: "Damn it I failed again"

So talented and skilled love it!

Awesome video man, genuinely laughed and enjoyed

8:20 that solo was actually so sick

They definitely should make this an actual song on spotify

You did a such a good job I can't ever with well intentions watch nor listen to this particular video/ audio again..On that note you nailed this thing directly my man as always!!🍻🤣

This was epic! You really take me back to the day I saw Liam Lynch on MTV

Instructions unclear: went cow tipping in flip flops after repeatedly licking them and almost stepped on a cat.

Music Meme Gods Ten Second Songs - Vocals Stevie T - Guitar Jared Dines - Guitar Davie504 - Bass 66samus - Drums For the love of mercy, can this happen sooner than later?

Whoa!!! WOW!!! Anthony Vincent is a total twin of Chris Cornell!!! Anyone else see this???? He could play the Soundgarden movie Documentary film for sure. If there ever was one.😎👍

Very formulaic. Touché

Stevie should turn all his How to songs into a single album.

Stevie's like a one-man-parody-band.. OMG YOU SHOULD COLLAB WITH WEIRD AL

I love the combination with whoever is from 10 second songs it’s so good

Nobody gonna talk about how stevie has a brilliant singing voice

This sounded so much like an Imagine Dragons song, and this comes from someone who was a huge fan of them in junior year (I'm not anymore, but I still listen to some of their songs). It was hilarious, in the best way possible! Also, thank you, now I will think of ,,don't step on my cat" and ,,tip over the brown cow" whenever I hear an Imagine Dragons song. :)

When it takes longer to edit the video than to make the song, a goat has been revealed

I'm hooked on this song. Love it!!!

"How to Be Imagine Dragons" This is silly, this even more Imagine Dragons than Imagine Dragons.

I love how Stevie T is a total goofball, but at the same time a freaking musical genius!!

I've watched this video for atleast a hundred times bro still so good

Love the remaster of the song 😄

Vocalist looks like Chris Cornell had a baby with Salvador Dali.

the irony on all this: imagine dragons’ guitarist’s name is WAYNE you’re welcome

Thank you for the free amps

Pure GENIUS 🤘🏼

Who else is in favor of more Stevie/Ten Second Songs collabs?

Now if only ID could solo like you! It would make them much better! Hope you're doing well steve!!

every Stevie T video is like hanging out with a friend

Awesome job Stevie!!!

I like how Stevie t makes these songs as a joke but if I showed this to an imagine dragons fan, it would actually be legit. 😂😂

If this song was on Spotify I'd listen to it everyday

Really tasteful solo Steve 🤘

That was pretty dope in fact x)

I absolutely love your new custom amps Steve. I think everyone should buy one. Such funny content as usual. Well your song is just amazing and officially stuck in my head. You never cease to amaze Mama T. Thanks for making my day Steve.

I stepped on my cat! Rebounding is top guys

Anthony Vincent Love your channel🎸

Love the solo.

Damn Steve... all jokes aside, this is a hell of a song. I know people love you for your guitar chops but man... you're a hell of a song writer. Much respect my dude.

Only problem with this song: Imagine Dragons could never pull off a solo that epic

I genuinely enjoyed this

Amazing!

Imagine these two making an entire album, but every song is a "How to Be" from a different band.
