It pains me to hear you say things like "stay with me for a bit" or like "I promise this is the last bit" (can't remember your exact words), as if your content has no merit and is boring. On the contrary, it's a gold mine which I imagine takes to of effort to make! I love your videos for the content and presentation. They inspire me to enjoy music more and make better music. Thank you!

@JeiShian 3 года назад

@@gavinleepermusic yes! The knowledge you're imparting is engaging along the clarity of your chord transcriptions. I particularly like the brackets around the chords.

@kamekomiyamora 3 года назад

I'm so happy to see another video from you! I'm a late beginner guitarist, but I've been feeling a little frustrated and unmotivated the last few months because I can't find the tools I need to play the Japanese rock and indie music I like. I really love how Japanese music is more experimental with progressions, extended chords, and timing, but finding the tools, theory or lessons needed to mimic that is near impossible. I'm a super logical learner, so learning blindly or just copying and rearranging riffs wouldn't get me far, especially since I want to improv and create original stuff. I truly hope that in a year's time, I could be creating beautiful and exciting music like the bands I love. RU-vid channels like yours would be a big part of why I was able to do that ^_^

@gavinleepermusic 3 года назад

K M Glad I can help you on your quest :) Good luck!

@zucchini3D 3 года назад

I’ve never learned formal music theory, so my knowledge of it has always been patchy to say the least. Because of that I find hardcore music theory channels hard to digest because of all that missing formal context. But with you it’s so SO simple to comprehend! Your examples and labeling of the notes and their relationships are instantly clear and I really appreciate all the effort you put into that communication man. Thanks so much :>

acid So glad to hear you enjoy them! Salud boludo!

@elarielo 3 года назад

@@gavinleepermusic Made me laugh with that 'boludo', hahaha, spot on! One thing that comes to my mind with each video is that a lot of the songs you use remind me of one or another Sheena Ringo one. Are you familiar with her work? Have you ever considered using her songs for analysis? Either way, keep up the good work!

@gavinleepermusic 3 года назад

acid I’m not very familiar with Shina Ringo. If I were to start with one album, which would you recommend?

@elarielo 3 года назад

@@gavinleepermusic well, that's a tricky question, haha. She has ~20 albums out there, and she is quite a musical chameleon; her style really evolves and shifts from record to record, and the Ringo-ness only appears as an overarching thing, if that makes any sense. That being said, and not being too fond of singles collections, I'd start with Tokyo Jihen's "Adult". It's the second album from her "proper rock band formation" project, and it's somewhat less adventurous in the production side. I think that one is the sweet spot for starters. And if you ever want to listen to more jazzy arrangements of her work, there's a Live DVD that covers a lot of ground. It's called Night Parade of Demons and Ghosts, and some of the songs can be found here in RU-vid. For example, this one that was originally a banger produced by Yasutaka Nakata of Perfume and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu fame, but it's rendered as an intimate bossa nova: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H_nCw1WMFs4.html Hope you find her interesting!

I've just spent almost 90 minutes watching this and taking notes (which I do for all your vids). I can't believe you managed to stuff so much useful info into one video and I'm so excited for your future videos about the social background of the music we love. It will certainly help me get rid of the impostor syndrome I feel whenever I try to use this stuff haha. I would also love to see you talk about the choice of melody notes played over these devices.

@gavinleepermusic 3 года назад

Youssef Rbahi Glad these are so useful for you, Youssef! It’s basically me presenting notes from my research. I may start cutting each section of a video like this up into smaller ones so you guys don’t have to wait so long in between them, and the information is more searchable. Mysterious mechanisms of contemporary Japanese melodies, yes this would be good if I could figure out good analysis frameworks for it.

@martialpanyvino 11 месяцев назад

A diminished 7th chord is a rootless dominant b9 chord. Plus, any inversion of a diminished 7th chord is an other diminished 7th chord. Therefore, any note of a diminished chord can be considered as the leading tone of a rootless dominant b9 chord, and may resolve up a semi-tone on the root of an other chord. This other chord can then be major, minor, suspended, dominant, diminished, and so on...

@MarcelYT16 Год назад

For those looking for the song referenced talking about the blackadder chord, I did some digging and it's the Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume Opening (around the end). Gavin is right, it's sick. This specific one is like spicy as hell.

Idk, when people explained "modes of limited transposition" and whatnot, it didn't click for me, but after realizing, "oh yeah, Tritone subbed dominant" it just kinda clicked. It's a much better way of intuitively understanding progressions like this, in a way. Also, i watched this video before I knew much else about the voicings of the augmented chords, and was under the impression that there were 5, and did end up getting into an argument with a musician with a masters degree, who said there were only 3 voicings, although at that time I really had no idea what I was talking about.
