How does this not have more views? I really liked seeing how you broke the song down and the piano riff is definitely my favorite part of the song. JK tops it off with those perfect vocals that add such a strangely somber tone to the whole track.
5:37 when I see the line cliche (without cheating) this feels like a c half diminished, BMaj7 going to Bb7, which already sounds pretty darn epic. (Edit: I actually meant Bb7 at the end honestly just a typo)
@@JoshWalshMusic Its amazing how easy you can pick out a tune and play it!! 🧐. A skill I definitely want to acquire. I feel I’m close, but not there yet. Thanks for the inspiration!! I’m gonna work it into my practice schedule 😎👍
@@ScottMeloney Its not always easy, and the ones that are easy for me now definitely were not easy before. A worthwhile skill to put in the hard work for though!
I like your approach to transcription Josh, some top tips here! 👌 I'm going to try your method in my next transcription- the difference I now do, is to use Forescore and notated it by hand on my ipad Pro and use a template, and then hand write ✍️ which works well too 😁🎹👍
I've always liked this song and though I play guitar not piano, I checked out the chords. And it turns out they are just a minor (though more interesting) variation on ii-V-I. It's being mainly played on the piano and starting in Eb which rather hides that.
I agree. Definitely sounds like a dominant 7 on the d flat. And I think of this chord progression in the relative major (major 2-5-1 progression) which would be the key of g flat which has a dominant d flat chord (the fifth of g flat). Even thinking in the key of e flat minor, the d flat would still be a dominant major chord. So I would absolutely agree with you.
why is it easier to understand the first chord as Ebminor than as d#-? 7 flats seems an insane amount, yet I find it really really hard to understand it as d#m.
@@JoshWalshMusic obviously the Fb and Cb are problems but it beats having that monstrous A#M as the V chord (with a d## and an e#) - mixing both types always rubs me the wrong way - damn you Cubase chord track!
Easy, because it's in the key of E flat minor (or g flat major). There are no sharps in the keys of g flat major or e flat minor. Probably why you find it really really hard to understand it as d sharp minor (because its not).
THANKS, JW!
Jamiroquai . .... favorite ever ever !
You are a genius!

Thanks! I like this video too, I think it needs a better title and thumbnail to get the views it deserves!
Enjoy the process!

It’s super clever. I love it.
I also kinda hear it as a tritone sub in a minor 2-5. But my jazz brain won’t quit some days. Haha
genius thought process
Love Virtual Insanity. Awesome deconstruction, Josh! Love the video
Great song! Thanks for walking through the process - really helpful 👍😎🎹🤘
Glad it was helpful, Scott! I wish someone had shown me this 20 years ago... haha.

great job!
Ooooh that effect at 8:02
RIP to the late great Toby Smith
Da fuk !!???? I didn’t know he transitioned 😢
@@chubayhanley3835 you're 3 years late.
I loved this song back in the day!
Also...I have no rhythm, lol!!
I may be hearing this wrong but think the d flat should be a dominant 7 (add 9)? Awesome video though, love this kind of thing

And I think of this chord progression in the relative major (major 2-5-1 progression) which would be the key of g flat which has a dominant d flat chord (the fifth of g flat).

Just discovered your channel. Fantastic content! Which music notation sofware are you using?
Thanks Ricky! Glad to have you here.
I’m a Dorico user. What about you?

Haha the age old question! My brain works better in flats than sharps. But I grew up as a brass player.
My string player friends think in sharps. :-D

Ask @MattJohnsonJamiroquai to proofread? ;)
How’d I do, Matt? 😃
