This Radiohead song is simpler than you think! (Rant about guitar tabs)
Today I decided to learn how to play Everything In Its Right Place by Radiohead on the guitar. In this video I share my approach to translating the electronic keyboard-based track onto the guitar and rant about how tabs can be more of a hinderance than a help to budding guitar players.

Why Kurt Cobain's Last Song Was One Of His Best
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.2 месяца назад
In this video I discuss what makes Nirvana's final song, 'You Know You're Right', one of their best. I explore Kurt Cobain's minimalist approach to harmony by demonstrating how he took a very simple 3 chord progression and turned it into a masterpiece through the clever use of chord tones and dynamics. “Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that’s stripped down...

I Wrote New Muse Riffs Over Stockholm Syndrome

    It feels as if everyone hears something different when listening to music. I have an issue where I spend too much time finding the "perfect" tab because so many sound off to me. Or they're so complex it makes me wonder how the original artists even came up with it Sometimes I consider transcribing the notes by ear and arranging it myself.

    That song was written like in 92 well the music, he put the lyrics down that day you at the studio. I think if the last album came out, Ivy League would have been finished, and big long now probably would have been finished, opinion, and Do Ri mi was a demo. Would have been something special.

      Very fair point. I’m actually considering deleting this video because I don’t think it does what I was trying to say justice. I generally film these in one take and just edit out some dead air before uploading. In this case I ended up editing together two takes with the end result being a bit of a mess! One of my goals with this channel is to overcome my perfectionism though and deleting goes against that.. You live and you learn!

    @SmileyMikey 2 месяца назад

    The creative process -- channeling the magical energy of the universe -- is endlessly fascinating. If your analysis of "You Won't See Me" is on point, it shows how Paul fiddled around on his guitar and found portals into melodic and harmonic channels to bring his emotions (Jane Asher relationship tensions) to life. Interesting that his lead instrument for the recording was piano.

    I love Rubber Soul. First time I heard it, I borrowed the Capitol version vinyl from my friends dad, and took it up to my brothers room (best stereo) and loved it. I loved how acoustic it sounded and the clean harmonies. I already knew Revolver inside out (I know backwards) but I was in 5th grade so I took what I could get. I’m now 30+ years older and still get the same chills I did as a kid.

    Very nice! Subscribed. Also, I wouldn’t call it stealing since that chromatic run was very common in Blues and Jazz long before The Beatles. It’s what you do with it that makes it special and I love what you did with it.

  • @KevyNova
    @KevyNova 2 месяца назад

    The punchline to the B7 chord story is that once they tracked the guy down, he showed them the chord and they said, “Oh, *THAT* chord? We know that chord from Buddy Holly songs!” So they already knew it, they just didn’t know what it was called! Great video, by the way. That chromatic descending run from the fifth to the major third is very common in blues, so Paul didn’t really invent it, but what makes it special is the beautiful melody that he put over it.
