      Slides/scrapes are a go-to. I have to work on my drum fill programming. BTW, ik you mentioned my video composition/quality a few weeks ago on stream, but your couch angle is looking really good and sharp, dude🤷‍♂

      I like instrumentation and key changes themselves which enhance transitions. Dom7 chords , m7b5, and flat2 and inversions of these work great. Maybe old school ish but eh, no one is gunna hear it except me.

      It's really good but this is for coffee an coke heads lol, way too much energy, stimulus and colors for me 😂 I'm starting to think something's literally off with me, this is like Bill Nyes stuff was when I was a kid, way too much, I like Rick Beatos whiteboard theory lessons, which are more "dull" but it doesn't buzz my mind.

    A comment on "risers": I think you could consider vocals a riser. In a section of a song after full speed a blast, where things drop out before a mid-tempo verse, I start the vocals before the V1 bar starts. Tons of ways to approach that, from a loud inhale in a rap song, to a crescendo of a grunt turned scream in metal, to climbing notes (a pitch elision?) in the vocal line before it hits on "the one".

    I've been dipping in and out of your content for years, but never subbed as a lot of it felt quite specific to a type of metal I'm not really interested in. Just wanted to stop in to say I really appreciate this format. Really applicable to all styles of music. The video production really helps to get the points across while still being entertaining. You earned a sub! Thank you!

    Hi Trey, I play keys and read some because I feel like it's necessary because my ear isn't great- I'm sure you have read music at one time because you went to school and all, but do you still read or find that it's needed? Thanks

    • @treyxaviermusic
      @treyxaviermusic  7 месяцев назад

      Sounds like for your situation it's really important, and if you can do it, I recommend getting really good and keeping it sharp because it's a really useful skill. I am a dreadful sight reader on any instrument but I barely have need of it, more for rhythm than anything else but if I have to I can get it done. Depends entirely on what you're trying to do with music.

    • @supernothing77
      @supernothing77 7 месяцев назад

      @treyxaviermusic hey sorry it took so long, I appreciate your time and advice! It's hard to stay consistent and of course that's the key. I'm not a spring chicken. If I go a couple weeks without reading - I'll start to lose it. I read rhythms pretty well. BTW I'm a guitar player who happens to play keys some..

    This is pretty cool, but I feel like the mixing in pretty much all the examples doesn't really flatter the transitions? Still, I guess the concept comes across.

    Sometimes it's a little disheartening to see how good you are at all the aspects a musicians needs to be that isn't about playing an instrument (songwriting, production, video editing, self promotion) and still have a relatively small channel.
    That's a way of me saying you're underrated.

    • @supernothing77
