This vid not only helped as music theory practice, but helped me remember that music can be changed to what's needed at the time. Thanks Jackson, you're one of the best teachers I've had
@@JacksonParodi Actually, I would argue that Gb/F# Major is in fact the worst of all Major keys. The reason being that Cb and C# Major both have easier alternatives, B and Db Major
As an accordion player the F# chord is my favourite (especially F#m). Spices a tune right up. But I hate it in sheet music form. Though it's cute on piano because it's mostly the black keys. Ugh, F# has my heart but not my head!
Solid Jackson, really appreciate the way you lay things out - big fan of your content. Your Dwight Schrute-esque confidence and humor is contagious - keep the content coming and I’m sure you’ll continue to find great success.
This is excellent! There is no excuse for the ink spent on making lead sheets in hard keys when musicians are already expected to be able to transpose.
Makes me feel everything has been solved... Music so crazy. Things sounding almost same from different beginning notes but going in same order. Nice to write same notes different ways, too. So so crazy.
Fantastic video and much needed support for inexperienced students reading sheet music. I haaated double accidentals when I read them in school. I had to stop my whole flow and think about what exactly the note on the page was. Thank god for enharmonics. Also, did you mean to pronounce "accurate" that way?
If you are trying to learn any song out there, there is probably a MIDI file. You can put it on any DAW or sheet music program of your choice and transpose it. Then you can learn either by ear or by midi roll/sheet music and practice comfortably.
The piece Xerxes comes to mind. When I was given the trumpet part for this song, I quickly noticed an accidental C# right next to an accidental Db. Why? I don’t know.
It sounds exactly the same - only 1 half-step higher in pitch. unless they had very particular hearing abilities, no listener could tell the difference
The first "rewrite" is literally identical, it's the same notes with different names. The second rewrite difference isn't noticeable unless you listen to it right after you hear the original, or if you have perfect pitch and you know the original key. For all intents and purposes it does sound the same.
Transposing (like the second rewrite) is pretty common, especially in music with lyrics. Often one singer will not have the same range as another and they will transpose the song into a key that they can sing.
I am, but most people still believe in them. For the purpose of demonstration, I put aside my own peculiar opinion out of convenience But a lack of key sig would actually make the melody accidentals worse - in Gb and F#. The G option would still be supreme
I disagree. Let’s say you’re a beginner violin player. The less skilled you are the less likely you’re gonna have friends to play with as opposed to just playing along to the original audio. So you’d have to just play in G by yourself. The violin player sounds pretty boring by him or herself because it is a non chordal instrument, unlike the accordion. If the beginner is having a hard time playing in F#, he or she should just learn another song in G, like Pallet Town
Wtf is Accriat? You know it's pronounced accurate. This is a Short video. And you keep repeating it over and over. Really undermines your point that "this is the sound" when Your sounds are indeed 'non-accriat'. That said, it's still a little nitpic because your delivery and script are good. Just wish you Put Travers Town in the background :/
I’ve never played anything in the original key
solo guitarist blues
My mind instantly goes to the "NOOOO, you can't just X/haha Y go brrr brrr" meme format with someone with perfect pitch and Jackson inserted haha
"Let's keep it clean"
Like... Simple and Clean?
It was RIGHT THERE.
At the end of the day it isn’t anything but a G thing

Music theory at it's finest.
Basically what I'm hearing is that you dislike the G♭key signature
If it's the only option, it's fine. It is possible to do worse. But when there are choices, I'd rather avoid

“wait why is this bad”
double flats: exist
minor cello trauma: knock knock
“o H”
Jackson the fact that you begin this video with traverse town played in G major in the background is absolutely brilliant
(I have watched this like 4 or 5 times now)
it's the little things
1:44 Accriate.
Robby could not agree with the sentiments from this video more!!!!
DUDE! Even though I don't speak a lick of music I'm in love with your delivery and your humor! Loved this and I can't wait to see more of your stuff!

You missed the easy pun at the end “keep it simple, and clean.”
Well put and really awesome.
"Sheet Horror" has now entered my phrase lexicon and I WILL be using it as much as possible, thank you.

this is a great channel, you deserve more subs
This was itself a very elegant video, well done

For the musical sadist there is a third option: throw proper enharmonic to the curb and spell things however you wish.
That one is too horrible to even use as a "bad" example...
The piece Xerxes comes to mind. When I was given the trumpet part for this song, I quickly noticed an accidental C# right next to an accidental Db. Why? I don’t know.
Pure poetry.
The official piano collections sheet music in fact starts out in F♯ major, and then key-changes to A major after the repetition sign
"It fails to be elegant". A phrase to remember. I respect anyone who has this as an important measure for judging, specially in an art piece
I really wanted to hear these instead of just looking at the sheets
Absolute gold
thank you - I would have settled for awkward aluminum
This is so epic 👏🏼💯🎼
I know nothing about music theory other than I love music that gives me the spine tinglies, but I very much enjoyed this video.
The thumbnail is like: how much beer did you have?
Two ...and the other six
Be blessed by Apollo, guy who invented transpose feature on workstations
I remember saying i'd pay for jackson lessons on one of your streams, but i guess i don't have to now lol
My band director in highschool constantly made us play in 4-6 flats. literal nightmare fuel man lol
Preach the truth Jack
Could you cover some song of Celeste or Hollow Knight (on Accordion), they both have a wonderfull OST
Non-comfortable amount of flats.
I don't understand much of what was said, but it was interesting nonetheless. Thank you.
...Does it still sound the same though? When you rewrite it like that?
It sounds exactly the same - only 1 half-step higher in pitch. unless they had very particular hearing abilities, no listener could tell the difference

@@JacksonParodi aaaah, ok- Thank you!
"Please allow me to reach my climax, and show you the business. Put your gaze upon this"
Skip to 3:18 for a very different 7 seconds of video
I am a follower of the church of parodi
I thought you were anti-key signature. What is this?
I am, but most people still believe in them. For the purpose of demonstration, I put aside my own peculiar opinion out of convenience
But a lack of key sig would actually make the melody accidentals worse - in Gb and F#. The G option would still be supreme
Accreate?
Always C/Am. Nobody cares about original key except singers.
Gb is a nightmare.
We should remove it all together.
Why can’t he say accurate accurately?
Jokes on you, my takeaway from this was to write something with triple accidentals.
I disagree. Let’s say you’re a beginner violin player. The less skilled you are the less likely you’re gonna have friends to play with as opposed to just playing along to the original audio. So you’d have to just play in G by yourself. The violin player sounds pretty boring by him or herself because it is a non chordal instrument, unlike the accordion.
