Me: oh that sounds nice He:that was horrible Me: yeah that was nothing ...

How come when he click a button I hear a beautiful summer day in nature, but when I click a button I hear my parents crying

3:14 - 3:32 Me: Falling in love with existence and the fact that every decision of my life has lead to this moment of me listening to this melody right now. Guy: That was... horrible.

One of the best thing in Guy's videos, is that eternal lively and joyful attitude, making us smile. Other youtubers feel happy only showing their talent (that is great enough), but Guy uses his mind, thinking music while filming and recording the whole stuff. So enjoyable as a musician...THANKS Guy!

Guy is simply the best. Unmatched master! I learn so much from your tutorials.

And he said, "Let there be drums," and there were drums.

finally someone not writing "beats". and he's shown me how to mak emy favorite chords 1 5 10 I think he said..

this is not "how to write music" this is "how i write music with my playing skill" :D still fun and inspiring to watch :) thanks!

This tutorial is perfect. The transparency in how he works. Inspiring in itself, showing that music isn't a one take wonder. Love it.

One of Cubase's most amazing features is retrospective record so when you forget what you play (which I do a lot when I'm in the zone), you can just call it up because cubase records all the time without you knowing :). I find sometimes as soon as the click track goes on, my creativity is hampered by rules.

This content is pure gold and such a fun engaging gentleman. Thank you so much!

30 seconds in and I already love your personality.

Love this dudes humor. Thanks for the tips

“What you’re always fighting is the power of all the stuff you do instinctively without thinking. Which is great the first time around, and gets less and less great every time you do it.” So true. Thanks Guy!

"What did I play?" Retrospective Record! Just use it after you play it the first time. :)

I never thought I would have been so keen on learning orchestral music until I found your channel. I'm a pig in mud at the moment. It's challenging but soooo satisfying.

The libraries you use sound absolutely gorgeous. Great quality.

Love his transparency!! Thank you.

You are authentic and sincerely. All the videos that I saw from others composers are so ready composed and they say that was spontaneous. I was wondering am I so untalented, why I have difficulties..you saw the right process..

You're awesome mate, love the personality as well as the content!

You are such an inspiring chap, thank you so much for doing these videos. Not only do I learn something with each one, but they make me smile, and this year it's important to keep doing that. Much respect, Guy.

Watching the process of your create in this video was one of the most inspiring things I've ever witnessed. Definitely gonna tune in for the rest of your vids!

Thank you SO much Guy! This was SO helpful - so glad I came across this!! This session has confirmed to me that I am on the right track as an emerging film composer! You are awesome and I look forward to continued study with you!

Guy, your videos are both incredibly informative and pure comedy gold. Keep up the great work!

Thanks again Guy for a great peek into composing step by step. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now and they have helped me a great deal. All the best to you!

Step recording var nytt for meg. Takk for fine videoer og inspirasjon. Hilsen fra Norge.

Thank you so much for your work!!!! This helps a lot!!!

Love it - there you go that's it lovely!

Absolutely bonkers, this is THE video I’ve needed... how to START and where to go. ANNNNND, you did it in Cubase and I always learn something new. Thank you Guy! All the way from Arizona.

Thanks for the video Guy, you are the absolute best. I learn so much from your videos, and your always positive, upbeat attitude makes them always a treat to watch.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for showing us the ways!

I love your sense of humor! You make writing music look fun!

Your simplicity and humility (and sense of humour too) makes this delightful to watch. And your composing chops are great too! Thank you for sharing. Cheers from Argentina.

thanks for sharing this stunning piece of very informative & yet emotional tutorial.

gorgeous tune!!!

Wow - thank you so much for showing!!!

Guy, I find your videos very inspiring. Well done production value (takes a lot of time I know) with a fair amount of humor mixed in. On occasion you’ve had me laugh out loud waking my wife up late at night. As a long-time guitar player / singer songwriter. you’re stretching me to develop my chops on the key board. So much thanks to you. Will

Great work!

So thankful for RU-vid recommending this. Wow! Beautiful, powerful, inspiring and a host of other superlatives!

loved watching this process. thanks for sharing!

Wonderful video, thanks for this, fascinating to see the creative process at work. There's a temptation to think that composers such as yourself, simply sit down and simply play it straight off the bat. It's great to see that it's a process, try a chord, find another chord that sits with it and work your way through it. For me, a self-taught dabbler, this is hugely motivating, thank you!

Love this Guy!😆I find your videos very useful and inspiring. Thanks for posting.

Thank you so musch! Very inspirational!

It’s such a great moment when you find a teacher that resonates with you. That moment is now. Thank you!

stumbled across your channel earlier and i must say, its refreshing to get a real-time view of the creative process!!! it often feels like all my other "music theory" searches have been just what a C note is and how many white/black keys there are on a keyboard. like sure, i'd love to understand my chords and scales better, but those videos just leave me feeling inadequate and i go back to just dragging notes around until they sound good. seeing the live process of introducing instruments and maybe only using them for just a slight flourish is really enlightening. previously, i've concentrated on trying to use each instrument i add as much as possible... you've really shown me how its OKAY to add a section JUST for one tiny addition!

Thank you for the great tutorial

Awesome. So glad I found this channel

Love your videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Best wishes.

Thank you Guy. I'm really enjoying these.

This piece made me cry, Guy. You're the best! ;-;

BLESS YOU! 😁🙏 (currently trying to pull together a piece of score for final project of my MIDI class.😆) JUST WHAT I NEEDED! 🥰

Thank you very much! Loved it!

Always a pleasure to visit you

Thank you, such an inspiring tutorial.

sounded almost Lydian... You are always so much fun to watch! Thank you!

Haha..the bassoon! My sis won the semifinals of the BBC young Musician of the year on her bassoon on in the year Freddy kempf won with his Rachmaninov…who said the bassoon wasn’t anything more than just an orchestral instrument…love the bassoon!! It’s just such a beautiful instrument!

I got a lot out of this Thanks for your whimsical Whimsey form the start to the finish That's Great

I love what you have created! It makes me feel so relaxed!

Guy, you are amazing guy! I watched like half of the video and was inspired by the sound of harp and started my own track. I used an old VSL Harp, it sounds amazing! And I tried arpeggio. And it worked! 3.5 hours and it's almost finished. Thank you for your neverending inspiration and positive vibes

Thank you for your great videos, Guy!

Honest tutorial! 💕

Amazing ,,,This music took me into someone else's world😊👌👍🌹

Genius...brilliant...very impressive! Thank you!

Thanks a lot Guy. Enjoyed watching!

Simply Wonderful!

Inspiring. Cheers.

I don't know a damn thing about music theory, but I am absolutely loving watching you build these song bits. I have learned from you how to take the ideas in my head and transfer them to shareable medium. I find that my ignorance of music theory has not stopped me from doing this. Such a relief to be able to get these bits from my brain into a DAW and clear some much need CPU space in my head. I already had most of the sound libraries that you use in Kontakt, but no way to actually play them until I found a decent MIDI convertor for my guitar. I have a keyboard but it mostly serves as a drink coaster and ashtray space as I cannot play it....at all....not even a little, except to test sounds in the libraries. Your videos have enabled me to a huge degree. THANK YOU! I have a renewed love of music thanks to you.

Guy, don't let this go to your head, but you are positively brilliant! One of these days could you give us supplicants here a bio of your musical training and past experience in music? Thanks for the inspiration and your generous teaching!

"look mom, no hands" :D lol

I V X in the left hand is sooo nice. Something I will borrow for sure. Thank you!

To be honest that was exactly what I was looking for! Big thanks 👍

Bloody marvelous!

I love this. I haven't yet scored for anything but the music I create and release follows this flow therefore a lot of my music is "cinematic". Thank you for your brilliant content which inspires me to keep creating and I want to point out how much I admire your playful attitude 🎉😊

Still my favorite harp too! Using the First Edition Performance patches even (tho without the ancient tool these days.) Those gliss variations just have such an appealing sound and texture.

17:35 'We're going to load up a harp!!!!!' Fantastic video Guy, thanks for being so honest and thorough in sharing your working practices - I've learned so much from this channel

Awesome video thank you! Beautiful piece ...I subbed

Come on man!!! Don't you know not to release videos while I'm at work :) Can't wait to get home in the studio now. Thanks for all you do.

Stumbled across this randomly. What a great video, really interesting, fun and engaging 👍

Really fascinating... creating art and sounds great too.

Brilliant, once again Guy. I too find "step Record" an incredibly valuable tool. Especially since I have to turn around a trailer in 2-3 days. And I liked your voicing of the chords and harmonies. It will also help me to move past muscle memory. :-O Cheers.

Awesome tutorial beautiful very exciting live example of composing very talented musician composer and Teacher

i feel so happy when my thoughts align with guy's

Congratulations for the competent tutorial on piano, am learning a lot from it, keep it up

Your video examples are always extremely helpful/ educational.

I'm doing my GCSE composition work at the moment. I had no idea where to begin with composition and this video really helped!

You are the guy, Guy!

well done ,thanks

THANK YOU

Got damet, I love your "edited live streams" !

Wow that was powerful!

Excelente maestro

Thank you very much,sir.

WoW! Thank you!

Brilliant!

That was actually AMAZING.

You make it look so easy Sir.

Wow Sir! I find this very very inspiring and interesting! In fact I’m already make my music in quite similar way but when I listen to you, discussing with your self about the chord progression and so on I feel like I’m developing my own creativity as well. So, thank you so very much for doing this and you’re kindness to share it. 👍🎵🎶🎹🎺🙏

💐 blossom in my heart with your nice & valuable tutorial . Mr. Guy michelmore, i Thank You So Much...! 👏👏👏

Oh my goodness wow! 😂 I have started so many pieces of music and been unable to finish them getting exhausted mentally after part one/intro. This is fascinating to watch the process of Guy writing. He just keeps moving! My brain has so many meltdowns it’s frustrating. This has taught me that knowing your library of sounds, how to do things technically and music are like a holy trinity. I think I just need more hours put into it. Will definitely consider the course! Thanks Guy 🙏🏻 You must be unlocking so much talent in the world ❤
