When Music Theory Goes Too Far 

😑 no, this is not how you are supposed to play the game!

Nice variety of styles here. Good times.

Always has been

One more bass battle with davie 504 !!

Hahaha

exactly my thoughts hahahaha

lmao

HAA!!! Finally! Something Charles Berthoud can't play!

Yeah, his tone and volume are too even! I could have done a MUCH BETTER worse job at playing that last part!

Please go listen to music to headbang to ;)

@@CyberChrist you mean jazz?

@@LaVerdad65 lol

Why not just break away then - sort of randomly and hope for the best ...

Fast run fusion jazz = Managed chaos

@IPA SOLÉ the qoute is: "smash those notes until you get a load"

@IPA SOLÉ O M G.

Beethoven would not notice the difference in a note for sure XD.

Makes you wonder if they’re even capable of playing good music

The only really weakness in charles playing.... He is slightly robotic.

@@mikelabelle1145 big facts

Being that he never stopped being a human, this 'human element' you spoke of was never lacking.

the problem is that it stops being music. It turns into math sound. It becomes Sonic Art, rather than music.

@@putridfetidini5468 your mum is lacking though

@Can a swallow swallow? oof nice one

Wanna hear Even more giant than really REALLY Giant Steps!

@@dallassegno recording this right now

I actually really enjoyed it x3

I also loved the Metropolis part 3.

@Jean D I agree, typical internet pleboids. They don’t understand real music.

Let me explain there are people that go around doing this to beginner musicians thus discouraging them from wanting to play music and then theres potential wasted. Making Music should be about having fun, none of this shaming people who just started doing the thing they love.

The opposite is worse.

You misspelled postmodernism. I can take a shit on a clean canvas and claim it represents the evils of capitalism and by current art "standards" that would be just as valid as the Mona Lisa.

@@TechniqueSan You're being an elitist right now. Postmodernism is cool.

WTF music ain't a sport

*cliff burton would say otherwise*

@@famouscryp4130 thats the joke

@@mrnohax5436 well there's a difference in doing it just because you want to be competitive and doing it as a promise to your dead brother

Fun fact: Paul McCartney holds the Guinness World Record for most hit songs written by anyone in history.

Disgusting

This is what quarantine has done to me...

Simulating?

How would he be there when Jonathan and David are there?

Well... I can. I you talked a lot to the camera, you have no problem talking to a wall or two.

He's evolving into Ruby Adobe

Would be so great as a full piece/song. So much character in that tune.

Petropolis pt 3. scenes from a memory but I have dementia so no memories for me.

we need "if bach was played by dream theater" :D

If only he named the dude nicholas and told him to open his eyes after he was done playing

I really got into Sonic 2 after that came out. Whenever my friend and I got to Metropolis Zone level 2, we'd make a Metropolis Part 2 reference, which really fit because Metropolis Zone had some awesome music!

@@sawyeratkinson This video would have won an emmy for screenplay among us proggles if he would have done that.

He meant that the music theory guy didn't think of slapping as an actual technique

Think of it like he's putting sarcastic air quotes around "technique."

Thats the joke

Check out Daniel Thrasher's top it's good.

weird seeing him try to play absolutely terrible and seems inaccurate the guy would play fingerstyle if he knows nothing about bass. He called it guitar after all

That's American first copy of Charles for you all 👍

Oh hitman fan here 😂😂 I am diana. Get ready for an assignment coming to you shortly

@@satishthakur4425 of course. My usual pay I assume.

First class ticket to Paris, Business class tuxedo. Gold plated ICA 29 silenced pistol and 100k $ would do it ??

Loooool, didn't even notice the difference at first. 😂

He sounds like Owen Wilson

American? What are you trying to say about Americans?

@@ofsinope he sounds like lars ulrich

Gud dang love American Charles.

No most of Ichika’s music is in 4/4 my guy.

@@darthvader4339 what he means is that most of the time it sounds bad

@@aminnhidalgo5885 True.

Listen dream theater ahaha he is imitating myung's playing

@@efeonuraydin3079 sure but give me a song that sounds like that

@@-valkyrie-00 metropolis pt 1 the miracle and the sleeper. You could try dance of eternity too

@@-valkyrie-00 its literally a dream theatre song lol

@@CaptnGnarGnar I don't listen to dream theater

Sometimes that's really fun. But there's a time and place. Sometimes I wanna chew on a really mind-bending piece, and sometimes I just wanna feel fire coursing through my veins as I soar on the wings of a divine beast. ... ...really over here outing myself as a Dragonforce enjoyer...

Wasn't it Yngwie who said it first? Xd

@@elimgarak3597 yes

I always though his accent was fake and that he WAS American...

@@ktiemz nationality reveal at one million subscribes😂

@IPA SOLÉ so wait Charles is actually black?

That’s more of a Cali accent (don’t Quote me on That) and definitely more rural.

It almost sounds like owen Wilson at first

Playing jazz is a weird decision

i think it was bob ross

I didn't know wierd meant retarded 😏

"There are no wrong notes in jazz, only notes in the wrong places."- Miles Davis

@@ShadowhandofDune that sounds like wrong notes with extra steps 😁

Your professor wasn't by chance named Leary was he? Lol

I had a feeling it was the licc even before clicking it, nice

The licc

@Max Ellis lol tru

He thought we would notice, he put it in specifically and obviously so that we would notice as a joke

I don’t get it

This is a problem I have with a lot of prog and fusion instrumentalists, namely that they forget that music is supposed to sound appealing, and they get so focused on "breaking the rules" or showcasing their technique and knowledge of music theory that it ends up sounding goofy/cacophonous/trite. Make no mistake, I love prog and fusion, but, say, drummers like Virgil Donati, while talented beyond belief, forget to make actual music for actual listening IMO and a lot of his rhythms sound like he did them just so he could say he did whatever super complex polyrhythm it was

"I pleasantly studied unpleasant music theory, and my music isn't unpleasant. It's AWFUL" -Me, just now

@@alextaunton3099 Thank you for nailing it so eloquently. I recently tried to watch a video about Pat Metheny’s September Fifteenth. The song is long, boring, and tuneless. But Rick Beato was positively blown away by the music theory of it.

@@Morphoidism already heard of em

He speaks our language.

That's like asking an equestrian to allow to ride his horse.

Berklee

It would be less funny, that's like putting one in Malcolm In The Middle

They're off center on purpose. It's like when jazz music has accidental notes

It makes the character.

Ooh burn

ve

@@bruitation Those are when the rythm exceeds space and time itself

SHOULD HAVE

Well... it is a bass guitar

the polychords and timbre in the audience are amazing! they’re so evocative of the reception to my first recital. oh, and those additive rhythms created by tomatoes flying across the hall are ingenious. wait, why are they booing?

I can play most of that.

@@katiefrisk980 they're not booing, they're saying 'boo-urns'

Running your fingers across the guitar is called playing music.

@@mcarrowtime7095 no it is not. Running scales up and down is no music, nor is tuning a guitar.

@@gregorgiebel1377 Tuning a Guitar isn’t, but plenty of songs are scales with extra steps

@@mcarrowtime7095 yes, you can obviously make music, using scales. But just playing scales is no music imo.

@@gregorgiebel1377 you obviously haven't got into minimalism yet 😂

I always thought that was the piece When the water breaks by Liquid Tension Experiment.

“Yeah, I do”

That SHHHHH is teacher-worthy

"suddenly metal" lol

So... your brain doesn't work like that? Hm... Maybe i should visit a doctor...

The One (1999, I guess) with Jet Li ^^

Like "being John Malkovic" (movie)

Epic comment..

I don't understand a single term/music theory in this video

That's how you know you crossed the line of no return

Can I get your autograph?

Wow, you must be really smart. So cool.

But did you understand what was played? :P
