It really is a very interesting video style! I've never seen anyone analyze Marty's music in this way 😮
I've never liked music theory so much... The times I started to study something like this, I felt discouraged from playing in some way and thought it would be better to stop, but thinking about theory to understand the music I like is completely different. It even gives me a lot more insight into writing my own material
Keep up the excellent work, friend 👏

@@orfeu25 thank you! Yes it’s very good to use music that you like for learning, then you have an emotional experience that you can relate to! Some stuff might get a bit too advanced that way though, and go over one’s head. But hopefully this video helps and inspires to learn! 😊

Wow.
I wish I had your talent to analyze chord progressions.
Also... this is very ASMR to me.

[@erpaloinen]

Thank you! I’ve always loved chord progressions, and I also went to a great music school where analysis played a major part.

[@erpaloinen]

And yeah I get the ASMR part! I’m trying to get these videos to sound good for that purpose too! 😊
