Learning genres of music you don't like? | Q+A #45 

Grand Maître des Marionnettes Cats are in the key of E.

And don't forget curtains... we don't want them off key, do we?

you mean the C A T T and the L I C C ???? S Y N C H R O N I Z E M E N T

Maxi García there's no Z in it, not round these parts lol

thegreatgambeeno and the licc is in the key of C (at least the one on the shirt is)

I like the optimism of how you still included that "probably"

David Bowie fits the bill a little bit better than the Rolling Stones. He also was an avant-garde figure that was on the forefront of new developments in pop music for decades.

Cher has been around since the middle ages and has a hit in every decade since then

@@JerehmiaBoaz Yes! I thought of him as well. Bowie's musical career was extremely diverse; his last album, Blackstar, had hip hop and jazz influences, despite him being famous for glam/classical rock back in the 70s. The Outside album was cool as hell, too. Love him and will always recommend 🤘🏾😔🤘🏾

@@baronvonbeandip 110 points for that

You won't necessarily come up with the "same" theory

I liked this comment, but then I saw that it previously was at 69 likes and so I took my like back.

Fabian Fernandez philosophy applies to basically everything so. Prolly both

My blog philosophy of sound as music meditation ecoechoinvasives.blogspot.com - and so ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dYcGICipoBs.html the secret of sound is now official! However quantum mechanics allows this system to be a superposition of states, we can be in 0 and the 1 state at the same time....it may react with the rest of the Universe and become unstable and it's going to lose the superposition of states that is in....I'm going to be in one of the two states I was in and that's it. And that's called decoherence so it's very difficult to stabilize those superposition of states. It's even more difficult when you have many qubits ....you have more interactions and less stability and more chances of decoherence. In quantum computers, to stabilize those qubits, what people do, they need to cool those qubits at cryogenic temperatures, these are very very low temperatures, near absolute zero. That requires a massive amount of energy and power and cooling system around these quantum computing chip. Our invention or our technology is saying, "We do not need quantum object to create superposition of states. And we found a system that does that, and it's based on a phononic structure that basically supports sound waves instead of electronic waves or quantum waves. And what happens, so we do not need a quantum system, so we don't have the problem of quantum decoherence. So we can avoid that drawback, by working with a quantum analog and our systems are acoustic quantum analogs of qubits. We call them Phi-Bits. So they exhibit the same capabilities of having superposition of states but they do not have the drawback of decoherence. They are stable. The Tech Foundation funds research that will not be funded by traditional federal sources, for instances, so we had to demonstrate that places like the National Science Foundation would not fund the research because it's too out there, out of the paradigm, it's too revolutionary for them to fund....we have three years of research, we have to demonstrates a set of phi-bits, to operate a well-known quantum algorithm...so have a tabletop system operating....Reciprocity of fundamental frequency transmission coefficient (FFTC) is now investigated. Since the geometry is symmetric with respect to its center at f from A to B with two opposite values of v is equivalent to comparing FFTCs from A to B and B to A at f with a single value of v.

Tomasz Mazurek depends on the part. If we're playing a chuggy riff or a very powerful "chorus" hook type riff, doubling the guitar lends power to that part. For other riffs where there is space to fill, the bassist can find something to move between the parts of the riff that are there. Or maybe the melody is very busy and the bass sounds better locked into the drum pattern playing roots. One thing that helped me was a producer talking about how the bass player in a band was playing this super fancy bass lick behind a regular riff for a chorus, and it just killed the vocal. It sounded like a mash of parts, not a chorus. Likewise, in the bridge after the chorus, the bassist was just playing roots and sustaining them while everyone else was following an 8th note pulsing rhythm to build back to the verse. It took away the drive and push of the part, it sounded lame. It's all about context, intent, and judgement. Do what's best for the song. That cool riff may have taken 2 hours to nail, but if it makes the song sound off or takes away from the energy, maybe not worth it.

Tomasz Mazurek It's often lazy writing, I mean listen to Black sabbath bass lines, thats how bass for metal should be

Gusti are there any particular songs you would recommend checking out for that type of thing?

Geezer was playing the same thing, but he really locked in with Bill; Sweet Leaf is a good example of this unity.

Gusti _ Have you heard Children of the Grave? Most of the riffs has the bass doubling it. It's powerful sounding.

Are you sure you're not Jimi Hendrix reincarnated?

I've not considered this... Some testing is in order....I may have to attempt standing next to a mountain and chopping it down with the edge of my hand.

Why don't you just learn how to read sheet music? Its really not that hard to learn, and it is never too late to learn it. It won't take you much time either if you are dedicated to learn it.

I've always had difficulty with comprehension of notation, even 31 years into playing music, not for lack of trying, of course. I would love to find something that just makes it vibe properly. I have no idea why it has never taken hold in an understandable language, so to speak.

Maybe don’t learn guitar sheet music, but at least start with basic rhythm notation and single note melodies, like a lead sheet. Then learn chord names (and associate them with chords you already know, just put labels on them) and learn to play from a chart. Even if you don’t play from charts in ensembles, being able to think in a more structured way like that will allow you to understand the group. You hear them playing changes or whatever, and you could imagine what the structure of the (invisible) chart would be, if someone notated your jam session. While you’re doing this, at least learn to play with a metronome. I have played with quite a few amateurs who did not have predictable rhythm. They claimed it was free and flowing, but I think they just didn’t have the capability. It’s not a talent, it’s a skill. Most people learn as kids marching around a preschool classroom (look up Eurithmics to see what I mean) but it can be learned later by kids who got “left behind”. Bottom line, metronome, rhythm, rhythm notation, and chord progressions. This is all you need in order to play in groups.

Classically trained doesn't specifically mean he played double bass. If you want to see one of his inspirations I recommend giving ol' Jaco Pastorius a listen, especially his song Teen Town.

pentatonix can actually sing, and well. walk off the earth definitely cannot.

Adam Neely yep. I don't view Pentatonix as being disingenuous for their RU-vid videos. The musical talent is very much present in the performers. WotE is quite a different story.

Native Abearican every person ever will answer that differently. You may as well watch a "top 10" video. Everyone is different.

Sure that's perfectly reasonable, although I disagree with the "watch a top 10 video" sentiment. I'm asking for his opinion anyway.

You hear similar sentiments about poetry and I'm pretty sure I've heard Adam say the same thing about music. It seems to be a pretty common idea for any creative endeavor. "Done" is where you stop messing with it so you can mess with something else.

The mix is never finished, just abandoned.

he speaked about smth like that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vPPbdVl8X_4.html

thats pretty much how it works

Hair currently a few feet long.

Did anyone see that seinfeld episode where elaine dates a guy with a shaved head, asks him to grow his hair out, a d he realizes hes going bald.

Adam Neely And damn she's got good taste. You look great! :D

Mongol General: What is best in life? Conan: To shitpost your enemies, to see them butthurt before you, and to hear the audio of Adam Neely video.

So you are telling me that you know all the about 80 sides of Metal? (Genres,Sub-Genres etc) All the about 250 sides of Electronic music? (Genres,Sub-Genres etc) And all the other kinds of music out there?

Id rather listen to nipplesack (nickback) than pop... its garbage.

Being able to at least do basic keyboard stuff is always helpful for composing at least and a lof of how you feel music does translate. Understanding sound design is going to help you understand a lot about recording music and even composition (the adding harmonics part in the video is a case in point). There are also ways to incorporate synth parts into a bass rig (i.e. you could use an eurorack set up in your FX loop and then utilize a variety of modules to affect your sound).

I think there is a logical reason, based on a general idea of art. You start with a blank page and then you start making decisions on some things. As you add to this your decisions become more restricted based on the decisions you made before. In this case if you make a lot of musical decisions before you write lyrics, you end up in a situation where you have very tight constraints on the lyrics, which makes it really hard to come up with something that could stand on its own as poetry. On the other hand if you start with lyrics, you will end up limiting the music as you now have a sense of meter in the writing for instance. But the same also is true for pure instrumental music, where you might start out with harmony and that restricts melodic ideas somewhat or vice versa. Art is a process in which you start with total freedom and then successively eliminate it.
