"I'm learning guitar right now"
* has a fender strat on the wall
* turns short into advertisement
Haha, exactly what I thought. Its all about advertisrment. The only reason this video exists.
every artists watching this videos thoughts.... bs. cheers mate, hope you have a great new years.
Maybe it's her BF's or GF's guitar and that she's actually on her learning journey...
5% information 95% ad
*casually has a pair of focal twins behind her*
Simple cheat code: Write, record, and produce an entire track
lmao
Or music theory
and get sponsored and pretend it's not an advertisement
There was a time yall could have used this advice and everyone's gotta eat. Chill
@@Shasha_Mynx eat or make a shit ton of money off low effort shilling? Plenty of people working hard 40, 50, 60 hours to eat without having money dumped on them like this
When I realize this was just an ad lol
All her videos are ads
Eh, if she’s able to make a living with this and not need another job, good for her.
still a dope song
@@versaii5519 Seriously?
I never knew that if you strum 2 chords, an entire beat and bass line will be automatically produced for you!
you'd knew if you're not a tool
She added those lines because she is the producer.
@@janeliu5316 Think you missed the joke bud
Right I tried it and my song sounds like shit.
@@jamie.goodson what joke?
I hate to say "dope" as well, but it is what it is! That reverse into the drop is sick
😂
No shame in bringing back the word dope 😂
it is dope i cant lie
How she do that effect in the drop? Which vst?
@@leoferr2699 Probably just reversed an 808 sample. No vst needed.
Damn a fender as your first guitar, that's living the good life man
As a beginnermediate I have been learning on my dads Les Paul standard he bought like 35 years ago I can say it is the good life lol
@@malcolmgervais8457 Just be careful not to let that Les Paul drop or you might get a classic Gibson neck fracture.
@@jl_woodworks lmao bruh i don’t think you have to worry I think if I dropped something my 20 year old father spent $3000 on I think I’d have bigger problems on my hands 😆
A fender squire
@@joetroutt7425 it’s not a squire look at the headstock
That mix is clean af
i think fuck is not really clean, its messy
It’s so true! Doubling and panning are some of my favorite things to play with
Detune one of the tracks a couple of cents to create separation. You can also nudge one of them to start slightly earlier or later than the other track to create even more separation.
@mezzanine237 with most software EQs such as FabFilter Pro Q2 you can also just eq either side of the stereo field. Lightly cut the highs with high shelf for whichever side you want to have the lower harmonics, and lightly cut the lows of the other side with a low shelf filter on the upper harmonic layer, and you will have auditory stereo separation without having to actually widen the stereo field and lose frequencies when listening in mono
@@ChuckWasHere this is solid advice. Props Chuck.
20 years of playing guitar and 2 years into leasing beats and I never thought to make a sample like that.. making something complex out of a simple thing is something so overlooked.
Picasso my friend, spent a lifetime learning to be complex, only to create simplistic.
@@_20nine_ Leo Davinci also said that simplicity is the greatest complexity 😇
Dont know about complex but ye sounds good
Sampling yourself is something a lot of people overlook!
Same case here!!!
There is no cheat code for your creativity 🔥🔥🔥
Still one of the best musical ads I've seen.
This has to be the most natural feeling advertisement ,ever 😂👍
it is a good format indeed
It was cringe and mate me roll my eyes pretty hard once I realized it
I thought the same thing!
except it's opposite
I'm presuming sarcasm.
Cheat code: add snares
lars moment
When you have an $800 guitar and the only thing you can play is a harmonic
😂
Pretty sure she’s going to use it again… and them 2 strings can cash out to a few Million😊
Only a slightly better guitar player than DJ Khalid
@Makula-px8fr so sensitive pipe down white knight
@Makula-px8fr idk you're the one getting twisted on a joke buddy
We need a full version! Please!
"just play the sound twice it helps so much!"
*skips over the panning, reverb, pitching etc and shamelessly turns the whole video into an ad
Shamelessly??? There is a *HUUUGE* disclosure that says this video is an ad.
She does explain that the doubled tracks are panned both left and right, so she didn't _completely_ skip over that detail. Besides, it's kinda difficult to fit more info while sticking with the typical YT Shorts format, especially when you have a sponsor to advertise for 😅
No important information was skipped over, and the video makes it obvious that it's a paid promotion. Furthermore, why should it be "shameful" to take a paid promotion? Musicians, for the most part are getting screwed by the modern music industry. We gotta take money when we can.
@@TheGamingDandy well. A paid promotion for anyone who doesn’t even qualify as a ‘beginner’ yet could be viewed as a bit absurd. I’d feel comfortable saying unnecessary ya know.
But now you wanna buy one, don’t you? I’d say the ad did its job because you want to buy one now!
This sound great. I love the fact, that you actually don't have to master an instrument to create cool music on your computer nowadays. You just have to be creative.
It depends what you mean by cool music I guess…..
Once you get good you hear music in your head, and without proper theory it will never come out right. There's a reaaon this song will be forgotten by every human after a few months and never cared for again, but ppl like Beethoven will still be well known even 100 years from now. Keep an eye out over the years and you'll see all the catchy stuff fade into nothingness, but the greats remain (and they were made by proper musicians who mastered their crafts)
@@Xemptuous I hope you’re right…..😂
@@Xemptuous music theory doesn’t make a song automatically good.
@@killomnii not necessarily true; depends what u mean by "good". If you know theory well, you always write stuff that sounds palatable. I've taught lots if ppl how to compose, and the ones who don't know theory write music by playing random garbled nonsense until they make something they feel is acceptable, and mess with it until it sounds "better". Well, it takes 20x longer than it should cus they don't know what notes are in the scales, what keys are close by to modulate to or use borrowed tones from, how to exoand with form, how to transpose, or use common progressions.
On the other hand, if you knoe your theory well, you can improvise sonata allegro form on the spot with no problem.
If you mean "catchy", then sure, that's a random miracle of a happening most of the time. But if you have good harmonic structure, and use counterpoint, you eill have pretty good melodies with little effort and struggle
Wow, she has an exceptionally beautiful singing voice, wish I could hear more!
I’m a much better guitar player than you are, and you still made something that sounds better than most of what I track - I dont mean that as arrogance, only to the point out that people genuinely underestimate editing and producing on most music production - Creation in all forms should be celebrated, and this is such a vibe. Great stuff :) thanks!
Actually wholesome comment. Nice.
Idk this seems like fast music to me. Like they just try to get famous on tiktok making something super repetitive. I guess ur right its not bad but i prefer music that has meaning behind it other than trying to get famous on tiktok
@@zofer1742
it doesn't mean it can't have meaning, but layering is something many do when making records. Especially on vocals, layering and picking the best takes then glueing them together gives some great results!
I think this was used as a quick example instead of a full track, but that's just my 2¢
@@benas_st possibly but idk i still dont like this fast paced approach being taken towards music. Like artists are just pooping out any hot garbage. I personally prefer artists who take their time and pour out their soul on a track but i can see where ur coming from ❤️
@@zofer1742 this is just standard music production stuff that could apply to any genre

Best production… commercials? I think you spelled that wrong.
@@Fucklifedeadshit
Literally this.
This ad was as if some famous painter put out an ad talking about a paintbrush being a 'simple cheat' to painting....
While discounting the fact you still need to paint.
This 'cheat' is just a streamlined version of something most people already do with layering.

why are people mad this is an ad? She still shared a cheat code as mentioned, which may be helpful to others.
Also almost every popular producer out there makes ads on tons of products like this so I don't see the problem.
Usually the precursor to advertising is having skill or talent. She skipped in line so we're pressed about it
we got producer-influencers now it never ends
Toxic. I hate that
Whats the Problem ?
and the problem is....
@@marvin2678 🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖
I don't see the problem until they start Showing more skin that they need to . Cuz that's pretty much what almost all these influencers do they learn a bit about art or music production to make decent shit but the real reason these people get views and subs is cuz Influencer Girls dress in Bikinis and shit while doing these videos.
You're so right! I call it "Adding the 3rd dimension." Making a song from boring 2d to a living vibe. Lol layering and planning man. So important. And tuning your percussion instruments to the key of the song!!!!
She’s not a man man she’s the most beautiful girl in the world
I call it basic elementary recording which has been around way before you claimed and renamed it.
@@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69I guess she's gotta make up for all that talent she lacks
Love when people don’t overcomplicate life. Thank ya much
Thank you❤Nice to see a new way I can do this with the pitching. Love⚡️ ✨
I love how you make nice music with minimal things
Harmonics always sound great 😍
Ah yes the absolute basics 😂
Fr
Literally "dirty projectors" with the little guitar idea and wordless vocals. And this is a good thing!
Hope the band doesn't read that comment...
I have listened to hundreds of shorts, and you are the very first person to whom I have subscribed. ❤🎶
Petition for a full version of that track she's playin RIGHT NOW HAHAHA
No
Nah, actually I want to hear this song
It’s cool that you like really generic, royalty free sounding music, but you don’t have to push it on everyone else.
Creativity is the best mentality in music. ❤❤ Beautiful there!
You are so inspirational! Love watching your little shorts
Pan r and l makes guitars sound huge .glad you "FOUND it"....
Music, as far as recording and production and software is concerned, is like a 3d box. Every element needs to hold its own place within the box. The 3 main axis of this box are panning/location, EQ/tone, and gain/loudness. Pretty much any plug-in will fall under one or two of these categories to allow you to find a unique spot in your mix for each element, but they still need to be working together to make up one singular product, which is the song itself.
Good advice
Thanks Sherlock
@@alakirte thanks grumpy, LOL
Modern day songwriting is just "wow these two notes sound great. I'll throw a beat on top of it!"
I mean replace the beat with a drummer and what’s the different. Half of the pixies songs were like four chords
@@bluemcdaniel99 Damn, Facts
L comment
@@bluemcdaniel99four chords maybe but they had the ability to sprinkle melodies all over their instrumentation and break the songs into separate parts using layers, rhythmic change and dialing volumes like a lot of 90s bands did. I'm not knocking this particular artist... Mostly just making an observation that a lot of today's music is just repetitive. One beat. One rhythm. No instrumental melody.
@@macpackmadethis3759Sorry the truth hurts bud. The death of melody is a real thing.
I love this type of people who can make magic with different songs
This is the video that convinced me to get back into guitar a year ago. I have right now and it’s a huge joy. Thank you.
So good... Honestly a female voice can make any little riff sound like really glamorous and intriguing, especially the way you did it 🥳
The track sounds really fun i like it
Wow that lick is like butter and could be the next big hit!
I've been playing over 15 years just found out 40ms delay does a doubling effect
Woahh love the track! would love to add it in my playlist!
This channel is gonna blow up
@@gaaanaaa yeh welcome to planet Earth bro. Anyway regardless she’s talented and it’s good content, I wouldn’t have bothered commenting if it wasn’t
@@gaaanaaa wrong. Talent absolutely plays a role. There are hundreds of thousands of musicians who have "stuck with it" and still play tiny bars, if that. But talent alone won't get you anywhere either if you don't use it. It's both. To say one doesn't matter is to completely miss the entire point of "perception" you are arrogantly preaching.
I was right!
Don't you have this extended? Or full? It is so cool! Dope!
Same here
I was expecting hilarity being the reason this short video is so viral, but nope it's the legitimate magic of blowing one's mind with musical tricks in under a minute!
Wall said of sound . You can keep keep adding a couple more. Sounds awesome
What you’re doing on the guitar right now is called a harmonic! Harmonics can be played on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, and even 19th fret
the harmonics on the 9th are too weak to hear normally
@@FritoTheLay on certain string yes, but it’s still possible
@@FritoTheLay Not with distortion.
4th works, and 24th or where it would be over the pickups on a shorter neck.
@@dr.kennethspeers8014 the 24th harmonic is the same as the 5th
Double tracking is a great trick.
I learned it early on when hearing about my favorite guitarist using it on songs to give extra depth or a wall of sound.
Don’t worry, you’ll be slaying on guitar in no time. Great content!
Isn't it just the same as using a chorus, delay and reverb?
The secret: “just do it already” 😂
I like listening to songs with 2 chord progressions to stretch my music brain a little bit. Born in the USA, Blurred Lines, Jane Says, What I Got, Whole Lotta Love to name a FEW great 2-chord songs. It doesn’t have to be theoretically brilliant, sometimes simplicity is best. Tomorrow Never Knows by the Beatles only uses one chord 😆
Fire!!! 🔥 that’s a nice beat double it up!
love how humble she is about her unfolding talent, nice cat too
Omg we need a full version of this! 🔥
That Apogee looks sick tbh. I'm still using a Scarlet 2i2 and I love it.
if youre just learning guitar, try experimenting without the pick, but it sounded awesome
Girl dropped a mad groove real quick, with a beautiful dichotomy of a sweet little voice over an 80s harmonic arpeggiated loop with a straight hip-hop click track, very funky very eclectic, u go girl! 😎
Underappreciated comment right here
Aye I'm learning guitar too, started on acoustic recently bought a fender. All i can say is just tell yourself you're a guitarist. You got this girl
Bro really just discovered natural harmonics 💀😂
Idc if this was a ad - the sound sounded great. I have apogee duel 3 and I love it
having hard panned them and then applying some different fx or detune them might also make it sound much unique than just pitch shifting
That atmosphere wih harmonics... A little Super Mario Worldish, cool!
A fun thing to try Instead of panning your doubled vocals left and right make a reverb track and then pan the dry signal soft left and wet to the right or the other way around. That’s a really cool effect you don’t hear a lot of
I love your creativity and how you make such amazing tunes out of what start out as really basic sounds! 😊
12th fret, 9th fret, and 5th fret get the best open barre harmonic (the sound you're doing is a harmonic barre technically with barre just meaning all the strings are covered).
Those can be heard in the background in the intro of "More Than a Feeling" by Boston. It's the chime-sounding tones that are behind the intro riff in the third measure or so.
Love the sound, would be dope if you did some more in depth stuff to see the full process
you can just hold down a note then 12 frets above place your right index finger lightly on the string and pluck with thumb. Boom harmonics everywhere. Listen to jimmy smith’s moonlight in Vermont
The beautiful thing about music is that anything has the potential to a great song
We don't talk about how things just sound so much better with money it's so crazy
Did you make this song into an actual song? Diggin it.
you have terrible taste in music if you dig this garbage. theres infinite music from the old days that shits on this
Me too
No because it's doubtful that she's the one that even made the beat. This is nothing more than a cleverly disguised advertisement and there was probably a whole team of musicians and beat makers that worked to produce this video.
Many years ago, when I was just 18 years old, me and a friend was at this other teen guys house in his impressive home recording studio. The most basic technique (he told us) that pros also use for making vocals stand out more (in the chorus part only?), is to do 2 different, but still very similar recordings of the same song and layer them over eachother, but having the 2nd take come in slightly later, so that the takes don't create unwanted phasing, but instead this doubling effect. Can't remember if he also panned them, but he probably did 😊
This was the first time I learned about double-tracking. Now, I never record any vocals, but this can obviously be used for any sound. Probably wouldn't use it for drums or bass. Maybe for bass with mid to hi-mid frequencies in it, you could actually do it by highpassing up to at least 170 hz on the 2nd take, delay the timing a bit and either keep that in mono as well, or have a 3rd track that is delayed slightly from the 2nd, and leave the 1st main take with its lows in mono, and maybe even LP it down to 150-170 or just where it sounds right. And then pan the 2nd and 3rd.
Have never done this before. I'm just getting this idea while writing this comment 😆 And I've actually never used double tracking before in the 9-10 years that I've been bedroom producing 😅 Maybe I should actually try this out 🤔
Can't go wrong with those harmonics
wow this really made me appreciate production a lot more!! I play guitar for a few years but never was able to do any of that... I'm waiting on my "new"(refurbished lol) macbook pro, and I'm excited to play around with garageband to make my own music. Can't wait :D
i love layering things like this. this turned out amazing
Hard-pan doubling sounds especially cool (to me) if there are slight variations in the parts. Not just due to error, but from having parts that aren’t written in stone. It can sound almost orchestral.
its incredible the way you produce music it really is
This is the proof that you don’t need to be a super talented musician but need to be a super patiente and motivated artist
Or have money to buy the interface the computer and the program
@@tiagocosta3492 u kinda do if you wanna make a decent song fl studio and other softwares like it are all paid and you cant really find any good ones other than garageband that are free
and have 2 million dollars worth of equipment
@@nick_phi11ips no one has that lol
From a chops standpoint I agree although it hinges on how you define or understand being a musician.
Andrew sent me here , this is great stuff. Your very talented
These 3 lines are the first three lines that came to my mind after watching this short
This cheeky ad would be more effective with some good music in it.
dang this is really fireeeee
“We don’t talk enough about” a topic everyone who edits their own music knows about…
Double-tracking is a staple in the recording industry for a very good reason. :)
I just fell in love and my ears too!
This is so good!! Is there a full version of the song somewhere? :)
the accomplished feeling of making something you truly like.. i cant relate.
I wish TV ads were like these
Can you please start making longer videos here on RUclips? Your work is great and I think I’m learning more at my age watching you than any other way jaja
We need a full version of this
I love that beat
"Chord" procedes to play muted strings pitched up and down
Your a cappella sounds more southing and sweet than the final track: Mariah Carey level 😲👏🏼 subscribed: eager to see what you have for us to hear next. Is this track available now? 🙏🏼
The a-cappella (hard word to spell) is beautiful raw and with the final track loses something. I’d like to hear the orig layered over the top of the final track
sis played a dj Khalid chord then said " there you go computer you do the rest'' XD
Dj Khalid Chord? 🤦♂️ This mf doesnt own any chord he doesnt even make beats himself
Can we just all appreciate how talented So Wylie is 😊🙌💜
LOL LOLLLLLL🤣🤣🤣
Lol no, but she should try to have a career in advertising
I've started doing this, sounds great
This was sooo beautifully done ❤
Ok. I'd like to say that drop in the beat made me to drop a like and a subscription all together. Go girl. You awesome.
Thats actually pretty dope!! Love that you're in Ableton too!!!
Very creative use of harmonics!
That sounded pretty good. The doubling seemed to add depth
