Reharmonizing "thank u, next" 

Hey adam, are Sungazer ever coming to the UK to perform?

love your work thank you for all the knowledge over the years man!

If nothing of monetary value comes from this video per se, at least it led me to your stuff on Spotify... Neely non-stop. (The F#m7 still grates)

would you upload this to your bandcamp?

Did this video got claimed ?

why no replies uu

Up!

Gsus, I love this

You get all my money

A major sevening I don’t get it?

😀😀😀

Eh, companies usually leave covers alone, since they pull a chunk of the revenue out of them anyways.

@@AlibifortheAfterlife Hence, demonitization. Adam gets no money for this whole video because of his use of that song, even though it was for educational purposes.

He made it sound better than the original.

@@8BitBrody No, I meant the creator of the cover gets a chunk but the original artist gets most of it. Some is more than none. Unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible since RU-vid has gone against their own policy many times in the past. (Sorry for late reply, didn't get a notification for some reason)

Everyone said my name was stupid so I changed it. When does it say he was demonetized?

@@ZachariaM Adam after they played the reharmonized song: this video will probably get demonetized

As a society, we've decided that sharing is a form of theft. Go figure.

I guess it’s just RU-vid stepping on eggshells because they don’t want to be sued, so the whole system is weighed in favor of the person claiming copyright infringement

The problem is that loosening the restrictions wouldn't make things better for the "little guy", because big companies would have more slack to take even more advantage of them. Demonetizing videos is really the mildest punishment imaginable for doing something like this that would have any effect at all in stopping big companies from ripping off every small-time music-maker around.

yup. subscribed solely because of this

Oof thats a lot of *demonitization*

Fake Name ya but a lot of respect!

@@aldrinjohnbalingit7682 This made me realize, with Adam's arrangement versus Ariana's arrangement, makes me see that this song or any song nowadays could have more feeling with more music theory and larger instrumentation in mind. I wish mainstream music could think like this more in music.

I think this would make more sense if it tried to be an exact reproduction of the original, but with the reharmonization applied. It sounds too different here to know what he's actually talking about. What would pop music reharmonized sound like? This was too different, if the instrumental was kept the same barring the chord changes I'd understand way better.

such a great breakfast deserves a tribute.

Unless you're Gimli? You might be thankful for your AXE.

@@garretburrow maj7 and 69s make music so much better. it's like the cowbell of chords

@@theshyguy1580 maj7 is just the V chord of the major system, nothing that special here

@@fastndd Wtf bro no both I and IV are maj7 but V is 7

@@azertuyop2955 Wow I don't even remember commenting the bullshit I just posted, thanks for correcting me, I think I thought VM7 as I am French and in our music theory classes we learn '7Majeure' instead of 'Major7' (took maj7 for VM7) so sometimes my theory knowledge gets a bit lost with the different types of notation haha

It's been 5 months. Did you get into learning music theory? :D

Its been a year, How's it going?

I started a bachelor of fine arts music and started learning some theory but covid kind of threw a spanner in the works

@@jlars231wow, you're now inspiring me to start music. I hope you finish.

i tried music theory, and i failed miserably. i think it's because the math side of my brain is atrophied.

Yep, waiting for the takedown

Fully voiced pentatonic scales are so much better tho

You know, you can listen to it on spotify as well, just fyi!

We need the lyrics commented here!

The more chords you know, the more courage it takes to not play them. - Jacob Collier

Music is a language, and if you think how many tens of thousands of words are in the English Language but, you can get by fluently with only 3000, then you have a challenge: how to pick the right words and tone to enhance one's communication. Know them all is fine but the trick is knowing the right ones to get over to your audience what your trying to say. The funny thing is that I don't like this arrangement, as it's just too lush with the strings = too much sugar and not enough spice. The problem for me is the instrumentation and production that drowns the lyrics. It's all down to making the best choices one can, but knowing that your audience will not always like it. Sometimes, less is more. And this arrangement loses the cheekiness and spunkiness of the lyric. But that's just my opinion. Have fun, and practice, practice, practice knowing that sometimes you will fail, but if you learn from those failures, you can only get better.

I really like jazz, although I have basically zero knowledge in music theory. I just follow the sound, and admire that someone is able to do this. But yeah, I came to really like some tunes that have most of my friends go "uugh?", so, there may be some training or familiarization involved. Maybe some things are not so unexpected anymore, and I can appreciate them for what they are, or I don´t get so surprised anymore that it distracts me from listening to the sound, and how I perceive it. I don´t know. Jazz is fun, keep on listening. You´ll like more and more of it. Don´t spoil it all with trying for an intellectual approach.

Thank you! I'm not even gonna make the obvious joke, 'cause you already did.

Thank you

Thank you.

Thank you

Ik it’s really late but if you want more lighthearted jazz pop like this I would check out geography by Tom misch

Jorge Neri it’s never too late to start!

15 mins a day goes a long way!

lol ten years? Is that even supposed to be such a huge amount of time for being able to do something in life overall? Your statement just shows you giving up before you even try. Look at your time ahead and how you wanna use it rather than focusing on the time that’s already gone. Use that instead as an example of how to better use your time now.

@Marco Evans Needed to hear this. Thank you for the inspiration. Just picking it up after not playing for 3 years. Been diving in hard again.

Just look up, man. The basics of music theory can be learned in under an hour. I studied for 3 weeks and I can already understand some of the stuff he was talking about.

Best comment here by a long shot

SystemGlitch I read this in a Miranda Sings voice and literally LOL’d 😂

Why didn't they change it to, "I'm so very thankful for my ex?" That sounds a lot better.

Thank you Trex Thank you Trex

This mad me snort 🐽

Its actually that his eyes are very light, when he wears a strong color his eyes just reflect it It happens with my eyes as well, they are usually green like his but when we wear lighter color shirts it shifts the way you see our eye colors

...like you! And all the people in this vid and others.

lol

nice.

height of comedy right there

It's harder to learn wierd extended chords on guitar because usually you have to learn a completely new chord shape. On piano you just add notes to a chord you already know. Just keep practicing!

there isn't a thing that is important, there is not even one reaosn for us to be alive! Study what you want! :)

One better: trailer music. Trailer music is the purest and most distilled crystallizations of musical communication. The most successful trailer music acts as a repository of musical buttons to simply push and create a quasi-Pavlovian emotional response, and I would love to see some breakdowns and recontextualising of it

@@TAP7a if you're interested in trailer music breakdown you may enjoy this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KAOdjqyG37A.html As well as the episode "The Booj" from the podcast "Twenty thousand Hertz"

In my opinion as a wannabe young eager Film composer. Analyzing Film scores are a great way to understand orchestration i.e. you can learn how instruments sound or how are they tuned you can learn how to orchestrate chords which is not as easy as it sounds Film composers like John Williams(My favourite Film Composer) Uses a lot of Modes borrowed chords a lot of Jazz harmony etc Because he was a jazz pianist that's why you will find some extended chords in his orchestration I know that doesn't clearly answer your question But to clearly answer it. It depends on you if you're interested in Jazz big bands or using orchestra in your music maybe you would like to learn about chord relationships maybe you want to know some harmonic devices that are used in Film scores(believe me there's a lot of harmonic devices in film scores and it can really change your playing and how you sound) If that's the case I would highly recommend you to analyze Film scores There's really not a lot of reasons to not learn about film scores because a lot of people that are doing it are brilliant I will list you some Film composers to check out If you don't really Edit: I almost forgot the famous Ghibli cartoons composer Joe Hisaishi he uses a lot of Jazz Harmony too Check out his Piano pieces i.e. The twilight shore you can clearly hear his Extended chords What I love about him is he is kinda manipulating Jazz harmony and making it sound Japanese sometimes He is a phenomenal composer Another Edit: Joe Hisaishi pieces are kinda hard to analyze because he is what we call a special case he is like Claude Debussy or Alexander Scriabin he is using something that nobody tried yet he is writing his orchestral pieces with Japanese music theory check out "why myizakay music sound soo good" from the channel Sideways then you will be able to analyze his music better

Dylan Hussain he shouldn’t have to pay to make these videos though (if that’s what you’re saying), it’s still fair use, so actually a petition or even a lawsuit again RU-vid for violating fair use laws would be a better idea

They exist. It's not like there's some international institution dictating what kind of contract you can or can't enter into ....

@@Solo-vh9fm The melody and lyrics are reproduced in their entirety, so I don't think it falls under fair use. Also, because RU-vid is a privately owned platform, and not a government entity, RU-vid isn't required to follow fair use laws. They can remove anything from their platform that they please. That's not to say that I think Adam shouldn't be compensated for this work.

Brent Lewis Oh I thought we were talking about the channel not just this particular video (since the Single Ladies one got unfairly flagged despite falling into fair use), but in most countries covers are completely legal as long as long as profits (or in RU-vid’s case monetisation) are shared. RU-vid isn’t (explicitly) required to follow fair use, but when you appeal against copyright flags you’re risking going to court (and thus you could be having to hire lawyers) and also RU-vid is that big of a platform and while we’re here so is Spotify and Facebook, that they have responsibilities and they have contracts with creators and artists which refer to copyright and each countries laws that you have to agree before even having accounts/releases. If it’s not illegal what RU-vid is doing it certainly should be. Unless it’s for good reason (threatening content or harmful content) I don’t think it’s right a platform to just removing on their platforms.

George Benson?

The Songs in the key of life album is a classic. As is one of my favorites.

@@pogchamp7983 You say that, but it's really not. There is simply almost no good trap--and that is abomination.

It would be unwise for them to try and take it down. It's in their best interests to just steal the monetary dispensation Neely would get from his view count, without taking it down. They make more money that way, and it doesn't have a noticeable effect on what the end-user (viewer) sees, and therefore doesn't change the public's opinion of them.

thanks youtube
