What is the "Misty Chord?" | Q+A 

you win the internet! made my day... thanks!

That *Is* my tempo!

Not quite my swing percentage

Give me... 100% swing!

Hilarious!

80% sure it's a complement

but then you add in the fact that adam is a music freak so the odds turn into a 66% chance

He said in an earlier q&a that his favorite modern composer was Louis Cole so it's safe to assume that it means a good thing

It's definitely both.

@@LeakyJAZZ quintuplet 4-1 swing?

😅

For any chords X and Y, as long as they are not "related" (parallel, relative, etc), usually the voices can easily lead, hence a "resolution".

@@Youssef-iu8dn it says right there that you *were* the FASTEST pianist 4 weeks ago...

@The bro who doesn't lift: “an” X chord. And if it sounds good to you, then yeah, play it.

Nah they don't they sound beautiful

@@jccanizal6410 they sound beautiful and complicated

@@JustinLe yeah they kinda sound sentimental with a hint of nihilism in it

😂

it definitely has some big yass energy

I just can't get over the fact that he's got no shoes or socks on, but the interviewer has both.

Simon Fransman I summon you

@@Zack_Taylor Hate it. So punchable,.

Lol

same

Same. I really love watching his videos even though I understand almost nothing.

@@RexTorres oof. I will be honest, it gets 10x cooler when you DO understand it.

Same but with a little understanding

89%of people here lmao

Very well put! I'm a classical musician but am working on composing my own music

Well said

I couldn’t agree more. i hated music theory and doing my classical grades. i am so grateful now for the knowledge i have of music theory and i love learning more. but i also spend 90% of my time now improvising and composing its awesome

@@pauldalton2004 Every kid hates music theory, and every adult who would like to compose music wish they had paid more attention to it.

I've been doing music for a living for 20 years... and have only just started theory this year.. But I am absolutely loving it. So to read this comment was awesome thank you

Adam's price to show that book in a video is dropping a full mug of coffee over it.

This makes reading it easier, when the mere touch of the pages makes you wakeful. In fact, caffeine-laced books could be a thing.

@@Dowlphin I’ll stick with my cocaine scrolls, thanks

There are passages in the realbook written in invisible ink, that can only be revealed through coffee stains. Its where adam gets his jazz knowledge

@@markop.1994 That made me laugh. Thanks! 😄

Ахахах понимаю!)

Very interesting, it sent me off searching for what I then figured out to be And Justice For All. (Just the first three notes though)

Yeah it sounds really good

Right? I was yes more please.

I think it'd be easier to understand as 7/4 using triplets

Are you serious???

it used to be standard for virtuosos composing ("improvising") their own concerto cadenzas! As a CM who loves jazz, please believe not all of us are degenerates 😭

@@RP-cn8si lmao you're good. At least I'd say so. I am not good at improvising myself and I'm also not a classical musician, so I can't really judge. The idea of a classical musician being a good improvisor is really intriguing to me though.

@@dudeman5303 haha, appreciate it. I suppose I can give a little of insight, as someone trained in the industry- In classical music, we are trained not to 'create' but rather "creatively interpret." Even within the confines of a few measures, there are an infinite ways to play and convey your own music, through nuance and deliberation. The point is to analyze how each note fits into the whole composition, and communicate what you feel the piece's "journey" is, so to speak. So if you have a set groove in a jazz chart, and you have x choruses to solo on- your creation is still "driven/confined" by the groove. In classical music, you have months to prep a piece we already know note-for-note, but the point is we don't know how YOU'RE gonna play it. Articulation, emphasis, rubato, dynamics, personal interpretation. Hope that makes some sense :)

@@dudeman5303 Well, no, I was being flippant. It was a joke really.

This gave me an actual real life laugh on a dark day. Thanks

Oh my god xD

Licc Aura

Lol

HAHAHHAHA

schoenberg was a hip dork tho

Patreon?

If you tone it a little down to 75% you'll get your normal bossa nova clave :D

dear god it does

I really dug it also.

Thought this was an election joke

Yeah, but organists aren't actually human, they're octopus-Riverdancer hybrids.

We can’t all be Davy Jones

@@eruantien9932 You made me belly-laugh! I learned organ to Grade 4 when I was at school, and it's my ambition to become The Irish Cthulhu one day.

@@macronencer Irish Cthulhu! I cant with this whole thread 😂😂

I think in the jayz video he mentions how any speech over a beat starts to sound in time. You should check it out

“Made up of” is in sink exactly

@@5hyguy42 why not in the basin?

@@garrybobbyphogeson721 umm yeah I guess i could have said in time.

@@5hyguy42 or in sync

when i saw the video at my notifications i initially thought it said "the mystic chord" lol. i liked it anyway

😂😂😂

Glad I'm not the only one that thought of Scriabin when he played it on the piano

Yeah I thought it was a weird nickname for the mystic chord but nope I was wrong lol JAZZ AGAIN

The mistic cord is used on jazz too

I'll try for a similar explanation. Some songs have 4 beats per measure with each beat broken into 3 eighth-notes. 4*3= 12 eighth-notes per measure. Two measures of this would give you 8 beats. (24 eighth-notes). Subtract a beat and you get 24-3=21. So it's two measures but the second measure ends a beat early.

He also referenced Demiurge in his 9/8 video

ve heard that on a lot of burning spear and culture songs! I kept thinking “is this straight or swing?” 🤣🤣🤣

Lots of Jobim as well. Great way to delay the resolution.

He mentioned the Idim7, which I agree it relates. But I also feel like it has a Hawaiian steel guitar sound, too. Especially with a really affected portamento.

Richard Rodgers - the hills (F6) are alive with the sound of music (E/F)

@@hilmijaidin1156 yes MT cats use this device as commonly as jazz players use a backdoor ii V

Yes 🙌🏽💗💗

But which timing is it?

oof that's a total mood

wrong channel

@@ismailfardane3207 skiptracing pfp 👍👍👍👍

Of romantic violin, for romantic piano must be Campanella by Liszt. Fun fact: Originally Campanella was composed by Paganini and arranged for piano by Liszt.

ye the paganini caprices have a bit of memeish quality for classical musicians (not as a big a meme as giant steps tho)

I stopped reading after Pagan. (And started listening.)

@@joaquinnapan3237 honestly liszt probably has like 3 pieces that can be said to be the Giant Steps of classical piano, and Chopin's Etude op. 25 no. 11 could too

@@yonatanbeer3475 Throw in Rachmaninoff's piano concerto #3

woah, you and a few other people got here WAY early

How tf is your comment 7 hrs ago?

Сто процентов?)

I think he meant it as a compliment

I think he meant disgusting as in sick, gnarly, radical.

For some reason I really appreciate the fact you used "[]" to quote correctly.

he said louis cole was his favorite contemporary composer in his last q+a, so

*6 tone equal temperament

Makes sense as the whole tone scale is essentialy 6 tone equal temperament

@@Plandigo that makes sense

And dorian

@@arcioko2142 True, i thought it kinda sounds like a mode of the major scale but couldn't quite tell wich one

You have funny jokes. Not going to happen

@@aarnimustakallio7769 Just out of morbid curiosity, why do you believe that?

Jacob Collier, Bill Wurtz, Jack Stratton and Louis Cole collab.

Jacob Collier *might* actually know who Adam Neely is. Once in an #IHarmU stream for donations (doing the start of the pandemic) there was one part where people in the chat got to choose someone for him to collab with. A bunch of people asked for Adam Neely. Jacob Collier did say he was a cool dude or something, but didn't have his number. But yea I agree, Adam Neely & Jacob Collier collab : )

Adam and Davie504 collab.. Perhaps a bass battle

I'm like 73.225% sure he means it in a good way.

Hi Louis Cole;)

With Adam I don’t know if his comment means he likes or dislikes Clowncore. My guess is he thinks it’s cool it exists but isn’t answering whether he likes it or not

@@snowfloofcathug I think that's only just occurred to me. He said it so deadpan I believed him.

We do though, but it’s not as much as an emotional thing as a “stylistic” and “locational” thing, certain rhythms evoke certain areas and locations as well as the musical style, I’d bet my money that you can recognize the rhythm that is used by basically every pop producer when they want to enphasize a “tropical” feel

Rhythm isn't used to convey emotion? News to me

Speak for yourself. Listen to autechre.

who is we

What about reggae riddim

Hektatuplets or hecktuplets

I'd include Adam Ragusea in that club of thumbnail answerers

He calls it anti-click bait. I remember the instagram post when he started doing it lmao

@@tylerjohnson7204 i love it

May the gods bless him
