The Theremin: Beach Boys (Good Vibrations) 

You're a great dad

Same here. I recently watched Love And Mercy, and have discovered a love of this music. Good Vibrations is marvelous. The Electro-Theremin is spooky-sounding. Other worldly

Crazy-this is the exact reason I found this video, but I was the son and it was probably over 20 years ago when I asked my dad! So cool to see this is a recurring event.

Dude: *imitates jazz cigarette* Cops: "we got him, move in!"

denise snider Yes, your right and he is mentioned briefly in the segment. More about him was edited for time!

I

Mr. Tanner taught Music 132A and B, History of Jazz. I took the course in 1976-1977 as a senior at UCLA. Wonderful man, soft spoken and of course, a wealth of knowledge and experience. His books are standard texts for jazz history. I’ll never forget the first day walking in early and he was on stage in our lecture / performance hall, and he was playing Buddy Rich and his Big Band through huge Altec A7 loudspeakers. What an introduction to Jazz which has stayed with me all these years! RIP Paul Tanner.

I like Glenn Miller

My Grandpa’s best friend before he passed was Paul Tanner. I have heard so many stories of them together.. he was an awesome musician!

Thank you!

So click on it a few more times.

A trick : you can watch series on Flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

@Randall Wallace Definitely, been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :D

Lmao someone watching anime in class

that's great

You should be watching

Thank you!

You should actually do exactly that

ur not supposed to touch it

I thought sponge bob played the slide whistle

What was the myth?

@@teebadd6927 that the instrument on the track is a theremin

Thank you and greatly appreciated!

The instrument is called a Tannerin, named after Paul.

@@MarcPipistrello I think people refer to it as a Tannerin to honor Paul Tanner, but my understanding is Paul referred to it as an "electro theremin." Being the modest fellow he was, he probably didn't want the notoriety. That said, he's passed away and I think calling it a Tannerin is the right thing to do.

Thank you!

Thanks! Fun to play too!!

I'd say it's more of a variable resistance such as of a linear potentiometer or wire wound linear rheostat. I've seen example builds of tannerins (sp?) that use that for controlling an oscillator. First time I read here of a variable inductance coil to achieve the same end.

@@alexcurbelo3544 Yes, correct, but inductive reactance does basically the same thing without wires. The mere proximity of the hands to the inductor changes the resistance and therefor current and voltage flow to the oscillator. The effect by which the current flow of an alternating or changing current in an inductor is reduced is called its inductive reactance. Any changing current in an inductor will be impeded as a result of the inductance associated with it. The reason for this inductive reactance can be simply seen by examining the self-inductance and its effect within the circuit. When a changing current is applied to an inductor, the self-inductance gives rise to an induced voltage. This voltage is proportional to the inductance and as a result of Lenz's law the induced voltage is in the opposite sense to the applied voltage. In this way the induced voltage will work against the voltage causing the current to flow and in this way it will impede the current flow.

Thanks!

Many Thanks! I regret that I did not have a chance to connect with him!

He talked about that in this video...

@J S lmfao

You clearly didn’t watch the video

Ima Pseudonym the theremin is INSANELY hard to master, give the guy a break

The position of the notes change every time you turn the instrument on, so I'd really love to see you try

Easy to criticize, Ima Hogg.

...why?

grow up

@Heyward Shepherd So if you criticize your food at a restaurant, do you go to the kitchen and start cooking?

Why?

How

Where?

When

False

🤔
