  • In this episode of Sounding Off I talk with Music Theory RUclips Sensation Adam Neely. Adam is a bass guitarist and composer working in New York City. He runs a popular educational RUclips channel where he explores unusual and interesting topics in music and bass playing that might not normally be explored.
    Adam is the music director and bassist for the Metropolitan Players, an award-winning events band that specializes in top 40 music. He is also a founding member of Sungazer (electro-prog), and regularly performs with Bright and Loud (rock), sóto (indie-soul), his large ensemble, Mass Extinction Event, and a number of up and coming singer-songwriters on the New York scene. Also an active theater musician, Adam performs with Will and Anthony Nunziata.

    I agree with Adam so much on getting an education in Music. I work with a lot of other professional musicians and almost none of them don't have a degree. It's great to see somebody going against the "just take private lessons" advice!

    • @crimsun7186
      @crimsun7186 7 лет назад +16

      But that might give people the wrong impression that, in order to be a good musician, you have to have a piece of paper that tells you that, which is certainly not the case. Jaco Pastorius learned how to compose and do harmony with a private teacher in tour buses and hotel rooms, for example. Was he a bad musician because he didn't have a degree in a music school? In practice, your academic degree is just a piece of paper and nothing more. What you do with the knowledge you acquired in school is more important, since your regular joe couldn't care less about your pieces of paper, but wheter your music is good or not.

    • @JensLarsen
      @JensLarsen 7 лет назад +8

      Sure, I don't say that. I am just making the observation that most musicians with a job in music have a degree :)

    • @owenhu9465
      @owenhu9465 6 лет назад +5

      CrimSun thats invalid for the average person considering a music career. How many jaco pastorius are there in the world? Just because the biggest musicians in the world did not get a music degree, it doesnt mean someone who wants to have musical career should follow the same thinking. Like Jens said, from his experiences, most gigging musicians have a degree, and thats a clear correlation that WILL help you.

    • @beerdrinker8514
      @beerdrinker8514 4 года назад +2

      It’s mostly due to two reasons why most people you work with have degrees. First is that those guys are session musicians and not rock stars or musicians that are “making it” by solely writing and performing their music. Second is that people you work with are I assume mostly jazz musicians which makes sense for having a degree due to its musical complexity. There is no need for a degree to solely write music other than classical or jazz/fusion. However when you’re a session musician that must have the necessary skills to be able to perform reharmonization and read sheet music on the spot as fast as possible then yes having a degree will probably be close to being necessary and certainly be very helpful. Bottom line is that it depends on what type of Musician you want to be. If you want to be a session musician or classical/Jazz musician then totally yes. If you just want to write music in a band or by yourself? Then no totally not.

      @@crimsun7186 (5 years later. I hope everything is OK. And I'm not from a country where people speak fluent English or American English). OK, first; let's not talk about 'good or bad musicians'. Let's keep it simple. It is simple in daily life: if you have a degree or 'a piece of paper' with some evidence (like being approved by teachers or schools which are known), you don't have to prove every time again that you can actually do what you are trying to prove. OK? Take Jaco for instance. Can he play bass? Yes. He can prove it, with records or just simply by playing. OK. Can he be a good teacher? Maybe, but there are many musicians with terrible educational skills. Schools are schools. Not every musician wants to be a 'famous' musician, most musicians play for fun and have also other goals, like being happy married, have a predictable easy going job, healthy children and so on. Take me for example; I play music for 40 years. I have payed gigs almost every 2 weekends. I don't have the right papers (or skills) to be a professional. But people know me. I put a lot of efforts in playing music, day after day. For most bands and schools that's sufficient. There are a lot of great musicians with great skills, but are not enough predictable. My bands or pupils are not interested in the fact if I have XXX likes on RUclips, they want me to be a predictable musician. They want someone who they can rely on. And yes; I am. And they know that because of witnesses of real people, not because of likes on RUclips. And if I want the right papers, then I have to try to get them, like everybody. But that's OK. Besides that, I have the right papers and degrees for jobs, most teachers don't have. So the day they want to do my profession, they will have to go through all the steps I had to go. In real life, you have to earn every paper or degree. Or to prove that you can do it, day in, day out. Fair enough.

    As a side note, have you heard of Adam's peer/friend Ben Levin? He also runs a YT channel (albeit a less active one than you two), and plays in a multitude of bands. I think it would be very interesting to see him on Sounding Off. Also I adore his personality :)

    What separates you guys from normal people, like me, is talent. You have an on-stage presence that brings both useful information, but entertaining video instruction. So not only are you discussing a universal art form that many wish they could master, but your delivery is personal, deep, and engaging. You have succeeded at something that most people can't succeed at (and your videos on the "Fortune of Hard Work" highlights that). I'm not sure that literally "anyone" can succeed on RUclips. As someone who has tried (and failed) I think it takes a great talent and I really appreciate your work. Cheers.

    I discovered Adam a couple of weeks ago on my suggestions and the guy has a really uncanny ability to explain advanced musical theory stuff in an entertaining, straight to the point manner on top of making things really complicated sound easier than they actually are
    I'm pretty sure this sounding off will be epic
    Keep doing those series man! I really love them!

    • @The_Kevinist

      On a second note, it would probably be a weird request to you and will probably go dismissed but i'd really love to have you discuss musical theory concepts with Ron Jarzombek
      Dude's not a jazz or fusion player but has a really unique approach to his instrumental songwriting
      I know it might account for nothing but there's a picture of him on his website besides Allan Holdsworth reading an alien looking chord chart

    A couple thoughts. Classical often abandons pulse in favor of emotion. It has been done in rock as well -Stairway to Heaven is obviously the gold standard here. 18:25 There is a shortcut to achieve a variant of this, temporarily. 36:01 The first Chill composer. Rick Beato is one of the finest interviewers I have seen. He could easily interject w/ authority at many points and yet he rarely does. A maestro on many levels.

  • @phoenixlandingstudio6594

    I too went to music college, and also believe the music "higher education bubble" will burst. Mainly because of technology development I.e. You tube education and being able to build your own home studio with really good pieces of equipment. I also found out that if you don't stay in the music city that you studied in after your degree or whatever, it is really hard to get into another music network. Excellent video chaps!

      I was attached to someone that played orchestral classical.

Quite a contrast when held against a song that takes three minutes!

    Hey Rick. I've got a suggestion for What Makes This Song Great-- How about "Possum Kingdom" by Todies? It has the makings of a great episode: odd time signitures; _changing_ time signitures; weird guitar chords; odd vocal melodies; etc.
    One of the last bastions of complicated music on pop radio back in the day.
