I love the metronome!!!
@hugocosh9012 yeah it's cool isn't it!
Brilliant!
So clear and easily understandable!
@@francinecronin3602 thanks very much!
✨Thank you, Sir, 🙏✨
@@santoshgujar5237 thanks
@@music_unpacked ✨🙏🏼✨
Awesome
@@aj6417 thanks!
👌
You missed out actually how a double bass works: the bass bar and the sound post. Pity.
Well hopefully I can make lots more double bass videos in the future. I'd love to do some more about the physics, how instruments are made, expert players showing off, extended techniques, etc. Just starting bit by bit for now
Haha, love it 🎉
@@AlisonLlewelyn-Jones thank you!
To me alto is so painful to play ngl😂 Might be the mouthpiece though
Yeah might be. I found a good strap and good embouchure helps (and practice)!
@@music_unpackedI like anything exept alto. Soprano Tenor and Bari are really cool ;)
Lisa Simpson plays a baritone saxophone. I play tenor. I am considering doubling with a soprano or a B-flat baritone saxophone.
Yes you're right! It is meant to be a baritone, except as a joke because she's a small girl so the instrument should be massive for her haha!
I prefer soprano, and it’s really because of James Gandolfini.😊
@@amirbpm haha 😄
Thanks
Underated channel 🔥
Thanks @rozvik! please tell people about it if you can so I can make more videos :)
Super informative and concise!! Lovely work
@@velvety3459 thanks very much! It's appreciated:)
Amazing 👌
@@amirbpm thanks!
Oona said - now that is the instrument that I want to learn!😊
@AlisonLlewelyn-Jones haha fantastic! Much cheaper than a piano :P Quite difficult though. I think she should try
It was great! Even though you tried hard not to succeed. 😂 I wish I could get a "Daf" here. Then we could probably make a video together to introduce this mystical instrument. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daf
@@amirbpm thanks and you might underestimate how hard these are! I could do a but of catching after a week but not very in time. One day I'll have some Iranian instruments on the channell :)
You are a great teacher! This video is so simple and easily understandable..Thank you so much!
@ifeyinwanwabuwa7610 thanks very much! These encouragement mean a lot as I start this channel
Very clear explanations. I can easily learn as a beginner here. Thanks so much for sharing this knowledge. My ultimate dream to learn and play piano. God Bless you more.
Thanks very much! I hope you have a great time with piano. God bless you :)
I thought that was a rabbit hole and your rabbits were throwing a house party in there? 😂
@amirbpm haha I should have thought of that!! Maybe next time :P
Thank you very much, extremely helpful!! Would be great to see another video like this about rhythm, length of notes etc, you explain in a simple, easy way, thank you ❤❤❤
@Martina-yu9bq thanks so much! Yeah I'll try to make a rhythm one soon
you got a nice box.
❤❤ 10:34
Nice thanks Chris
@@kailee295 thank you!
Nice one Chris, very informative
@@kailee295 thanks!
I have a friend that plays the clarinet
😂😂😂 go Chris go 👌
@@amirbpm thanks Amir!
This video really helped me understand how metronomes work. Thanks! Edit: 4:02 This part was funny 😂
@LarryhereonRUclips Yhanks and glad to hear it! I don't think I could really sleep to a metronome though. I've got very sensitive ears and senses generally
Yep Chris makes me smile too, sometimes he makes me giggle and other times he makes me burst out laughing 🎉 Personally I find a metronome quietly reassuring, a bit like having a grandfather clock in the home (❤G’ma C)🕰️
@@AlisonLlewelyn-Jones haha fantastic!
Simple, structured learning. Loved it.
Thanks very much! More to follow
This came in my feed today. Liked the humour.
@@AdhiNarayananYR thanks very much!
Wow it genuinely always puzzled me how trumpets only had 3 valves but it actually makes perfect sense now that I finally know its all done through embouchure! Great vid :)
Thanks for the comment! You can get about 9 notes with just your lips and the rest with the 3 valves.
Brilliant 👌
Thanks Amir :)
eeeeeeflat beeeeeflat 🐝🎷🐝🎷
Yep! Baritones in Eb, tenors in Bb, altos in Eb and soprano saxophones in Bb!
Very good practice practice practice
That's it!
Gained good knowladge of music notes, thanks for it.
Thanks I'm glad to hear it!
Your explanation using above water and under water is brilliant; thank you!
Thanks Stephanie! To be honest I think my analogy is good too and haven't seen anyone else describe it that way. I'll try to make more videos with different ways of visualise things to help
I have been playing violin for years now, so I obviously know the basics of notes. Even then, I was still able to learn something in this video! You're really good at explaining things
That's great and good to hear thanks! I hope you keep learning as there's always more!
My daughter is curious about why it's always Every good boy deserves food. What about the good girls 😅
Haha yeah good question! At least it doesn't say ONLY goos buys deserve food. Also girls and even bad boys and girls deserve food. Instead of "All Cows Eat Grass", one of my students says "Girls Buy Dressed From Asda" for the bass clef. Maybe you can make your own one starting with Girls...( B D F A)?
Oh wow, someone finally explained these notes in a way that makes sense! Thank you so much. The video is fantastic and incredibly creative.
Another amazing instrument 👍
French horns are amazing!
Thanks Cris great description
Thanks very much!
It's nice how you're making videos on lots of different instruments of the orchestra, instead of just one instrument. It makes it more interesting
Thanks! Hopefully one day I'll have covered all orchestral instruments, band instruments and maybe some rarer ones from around the world
That sounds cool! Can't wait to see what you upload next!
I am going to become a viola player I’ve been playing violin for five years
Cool!
I love it. The cello feels like an old friend, one that can wrap you in a warm embrace with its deep, resonant tones. It's got this incredible ability to speak directly to the soul, whether it's whispering a gentle lullaby or pouring out its heart in a powerful, raw expression.
I don't even have a violin idk why i watched it all
Well that's the idea of these videos! They're for everyone and hopefully interesting and accessible even if you don't play the violin for example
Ha! Horses have frogs too 🐴🎻
Interesting!
This video is concise, impactful, and highly informative. 👌
Thanks very much!
