Im getting a music degree just in case someone asks me if I went to college
I have one, it's not useful per say but i like having something that tells me i'm good at something lol
I want one just so I can be called a Doctor and so I can post music theory theseus... yes you can punch me
I spent 2 years trying to get a BFA in Musical Theatre lol I'm glad I got out of that. I'm trying to get into an audio engineering program soon but I'll try to be a cool sound guy

imo pop music nowadays is better than it was 5-10 years ago, but not 20-30, if that makes sense
Hard to say, tbh. 30 years ago there was a more unobtainable entry level because of the technology of recording and distribution. Lots of pop music today gets a bad reputation because it's so much easier to make and distribute songs, which lets a lot more of the garbage through compared to the industry of the 70's- mid 00's

very valid points! my girlfriend and my best friend have been getting me into current pop music/artists and it’s obviously not at all like the progressive shit, emo garbage, nu-core, and other stuff I typically listen to but it’s still really well made and enjoyable! Music is music and as long as I can see the creativity behind it my respect will follow.

I watched it. I agreed with most of the things Judy said or agreed with.

Yup
Satriani is a pretty cool guy *flashes like every bald guy in existence*
Great book called Talent Is Overrated, and there are some great interviews with goated guitar players that basically say that if talent exists its extremely small and the odds that the person finds what they're actually good at is even smaller, beast take tbh
sounds dumb and corny but in my opinion the musicians without talent are more likely of the two to stick around. sorta like the mentality that the more you work for something the more it means to you. at least that’s what i’m hoping
Bro psyched substance lmao this is why your my favorite guitar youtuber
Hahahaha I loved that too
This guy is incredible based, Uncle Judy should mean:
The BASED musician.
based pfp
Best thing I ever did was start listening to other kinds of music. I used go only listen to metal, now it makes up probably less than half of what I listen to. Now it's stuff like lil aaron, pale waves, KiNG MALA and the dead south. Learning other music has also helped me grow as a bass player.
Pale Waves is amazing
Nice
Have a music degree, can confirm. I should have learned how to weld or something.

Even christian contemporary? Lol
@@charlesmartiniii1405 you adam neely viewer?

Natural talent absolutely exists. I wanted to be an artist when I was a little kid… and I tried my ass off to learn how to draw and paint. It hit me in art class in 7th grade that most of the kids in my class were way more intuitive in that area and I lacked the natural ability in that medium… despite dedication.
On the other hand, I never had to even try with music. I just knew it.
The disadvantage with having a lot of natural ability is that it can make you lazy in the area you have it in…. If that makes sense.
Natural ability is also like a fingerprint. No two people have it exactly the same.
But, hey, that’s just my opinion, man.
Gotta say as a former student at music school, you're pretty much dead on - DONT GO. ITS A HUGE WASTE OF TIME.
People were like "OOOOH you'll make connections and network"...you can do that at gigs or on the Internet for significantly less money.
If you really want to do music in college get a music MINOR, still helps a bit with knowledge and can have benefits but putting all your chips in music school is not only risky, it's guaranteed to do absolutely nothing.
Natural talent is real. Aptitude exists for all skills.
Natural talent in instruments is simply just being genetically predisposed to have a desirable trait. Things like inheriting good ears, dextrous hands, good lung capacity and/or having the physical capacity to make music, which in itself, is a talent considering that some people are born completely incapable of playing an instrument or singing as well as the average person.
I second this, I also think the “soul” he is talking about is an intuitive understanding and appreciation for music in general, not just a specific instrument.
My friend and I both started playing guitar at roughly the same time a couple years back and we eventually drifted apart because I was picking it up a lot faster than him, the only real difference was that I was deeply passionate about music and he wasn’t
@@abr3690 I didn't mention this because I believe that soul is nurtured throughout development and not something people are born with. It does definitely seperate the great from the average. Keep playing, bro!
I feel like what you're describing as soul is more so how you summarized it- as personal connection to the instrument. I think that comes from how much the instrument allows somebody to express themselves. For example, some of the most brilliant classical guitarist's and pianist's seem like such reserved, non-expressive people. Then they play and you can see emotion practically pour out of them. Music is an outlet for personal expression, so that's how I logic it all out. LOVE YOUR SHIT THO JUDE THE DUDE KEEP IT UP B-]
Thing with pop music, is that some time ago, there was a bunch of trash pop music, and few extremely great and legendary artists, and now, there's just a bunch of good/decent artists
"You're gonna go far kid."
Thanks uncle :,)
10:00 I think you are talking about passion. If someone who is really passionate about the instrument he is playing, he will put a lot more effort into his hobby than someone with less passion. Some people are willing to take more effort and more frustration on their way than others and you can hear it. You can sum up all the hours of practice, someone who is not passionate enough can put tousands of hours into practice and won't play as good as as someone who is really passionate and only practiced for hundrets of hours. Passion is the limit of how much shit you are willing to take before you quit.
I would argue that the gap between good and bad music has widened, though it is starting to narrow again as streaming replaces digital downloads (and radio airplay) as the primary method of consuming music-and songs become more homogenized to fit Spotify playlists, for example. The biggest catalyst for this change has to do with the way music is consumed (and the way the charts measure success-in the past there were numerous instances of songs that were among the biggest in the country, yet they NEVER appeared on the Billboard charts because the way they were consumed wasn’t counted). However, other factors include the diminished threat of government censorship (given that music is considered a protected art form under the First Amendment and has been repeatedly affirmed as such by various judicial decisions), the rise of alternative media such as DVDs, Cable TV, and the Internet, and gradual changes in the discourse surrounding music as well as the social attitudes of the general public.
What this means is that songs that WOULD have been considered edgy and possibly even SATANIC in the 1950s-70s (merely for having distorted guitars, singing that invokes yelling, or lyrics that in any way imply either sex or the end of a relationship) now wouldn’t even be controversial in most cases, and that artists who would be too “left field” in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s are now able to achieve chart success. Artists can now also combine different sounds at will, even those from completely different cultures and genres. Yet while these changes are welcome, the music they have produced is of wildly varying quality, depending on the strengths and weaknesses of the artists.
I would be bored as heck if I am gonna get a music degree
All I would say on the natural talent one is that shape recognition can definitely be a key factor in learning instruments/theory and different people are naturally born with different levels of shape recog.
My opinion wasn't chosen and now I am sad :(
I got my music degree at community college for like no money, and it taught me how to arrange and part write differently. Which I thought was pretty cool. Everything else you said was spot on to me though
Actually surprised with how many good takes are in this video. I like how you were able to tie it all up with a running theme.
As someone who's taught music lessons to kids... Talent DEFINITELY exists.
But it doesn't reflect skill level, only how fast youre able to pick new things up. Its like a musical IQ in a way...
I know more shit about the universe than Socrates did but I'm not saying I'm more clever than him
Talent exists but someone with less talent who practices more can reach the same level or beyond the level of the more talented player
Eh, I wouldn't call that talent, as talent refers to natural ability/skill. I personally don't think talent exists really.
Though you're 100% right that anyone surpass someone with more experience by working hard and honing you skills.
It also is worth mentioning that people learn at different speeds. Finding the right methods to teach each individual helps.
Hot take: pop music is not bad but it has very little re-listen ability. It’s all so overly simplified and repetitive it just gets boring as hell after the first few listens. I genuinely believe people who listen to only pop music don’t think about very much at all
My problem with pop is it goes through phases of vapid party dance shit, or sad shit having a bpm lower than my resting heartrate
When pop can have fun without being vapid it comes out incredibly good
Honestly this is the best thing I’ve seen in ages. Judy really did a great fucking job
As far as natural talent, I think that's someone who can do something special with less. Like the guy who practices 8 hours a day but has no imagination or creativity versus the guy who knows some basic chords and scales yet can write an insane melody and riff that moves somebody. Like John Dwyer or Kurt Cobain I think that's natural talent
Ah, I see you covered that basically with the soul definition. I agree
The Polgar experiment did prove training over natural talent.
Remember Beth Hart's rule, "No Noodling."
Current pop music is just lacking that instrumental and vocal kick. When it's added by cover artists, then it sounds pretty good.
For people who don't think natural talent exist, just consider the opposite. Do some people absolutely suck at music and can't do anything musical to save their life no matter how hard they try? YES. Those people do exist. they are most people.
metal/punk guitarist here,
recently i've really been getting into like 80th synthpop and stuff like that and i think like exploring the giant universe that music is can be one of the most intresting things you can do idk
For the "Soul" player you should have picked David Glimour or Ritchie Blackmore as an example.
Both are rreeeaaally overrated in my opinion
*not both, just gilmour
Ritchie blackmore i would actually call underrated even though his general rating is already pretty high but it doesn't do him justice imo

I'm glad KDH turned me onto Uncle Judy!!!feeling this Channel!!!🤘👍
As someone currently doing school of rock, I hate that place, I'm the only one who knows how to play AND I"M A BASSIST. I should not be lead for every song and solo because no one else knows how to tap or alternate pick. Performance groups suck and everyone in houseband is unbearable (nor can they play music at all)
bro that fucking psychedsubstance joke was fucking hilarious
I really like Greta Van Fleet. And a friend of mine who's a massive LZ fan appreciates them a lot too.
Great points! I think every one goes through that elitist phase of what ever hobby they enjoy but I think being open minded is better for your own and everyone elses mental health. Great video!
The word for "spice" you were looking for was aptitude.
It didn’t hit me until just now how much better pop music has gotten. I don’t like a lot of it anyway, but this suddenly made me realize how much I do not miss the 2010s bleep bloop Black Eyed Peas Maroon 5 Katy Perry crap.
This is a very important video. Sharing these "unpopular" opinions lets others that agree with you know they aren't alone in their feelings. So thank you for this.
"Its something that you cant teach they just have, i dont know what to call it"...talent
These are some of the most popular opinions I’ve seen
This video gave me the final push I needed to end my own existence, thanks.

Pop music is getting better because its becoming less corporate
I always come here for 2 things: memes and philosophy
Hearing a person who actually understands music say good things about juice wrld makes me very happy. :)
Some pop artists are good now but I think peak pop music is early 2000s. I could be blinded by nostalgia but it was fun.
I agree
THIS ---> 8:23
Some people most definitely can have more natural aptitude to music in general.
No doubt just as some people have more natural aptitude for sports (body composition and inherent flexibility) some people have more aptitude towards playing instruments (could be dexterity or perfect pitch).
These things do not make a great musician at the end of the day but they will sure get you off the starting block.
I kinda disagree with him on the pop part. Pop 2010s was better than what we have now.
Uncle Judy is getting buff dude
Judy has been hittin' the gym. Swole af
“Technicality doesn’t equal creativity when it comes to playing an instrument”: I could also argue with “Simplicity doesn’t equal creativity when it comes to playing an instrument”. I know that the reason most people say this is because they’re not able to digest technical styles of music. A lot of pop stuff is popular because it’s digestible to an incredible amount of musically uneducated people. I hate when people blow on technicality just because they can’t listen to it. Like because they don’t understand how to listen to it, it’s just not creative. Yes, simplicity is important, but there is a time in your career where I believe your music has to genuinely advance, whether it’s technical in one way or the other. It’s also funny how people shit on prog but also like jazz which is a more technical style of music than prog will ever be.
This is a stupid argument. You're basically saying people who simply don't care if music is technical or simple don't exist because every person who doesn't enjoy the music you do is just out to feed their egos.
Like dude, get out of your house.
@@potatoheadhaoy I wrote this 6 months ago so maybe I didn’t explain what I meant well, but my first point should say it all. Tbh though, a lot of people do feed their egos as musicians in both areas, but what bothers me is that a lot of people say they are completely one or the other and the other one is amateurish. Maybe you didn’t get a lot of that, but I have. Both to me are important and I believe we don’t have enough of one or the other. Few prodigies I could say have found the balance.
@@AAB4ttery sorry, guess I was a bit hasty to judge. I agree with what you added here tbh.
On the one hand, there's say, metal elitists whom I fucking despise. On the other, there's a lot of these punk rock gatekeepers who just make my fucking skin crawl.
Being in both these communities kind of just made me tired of the whole discussion of merit based on technique or its absence.
if you're trying to get into pop music, I REALLY recommend Rina Sawayama.
Songs like XS, Dynasty and STFU are enough to make any metal elitist shut up
OMG this is fuckn insane
Pop music is not easy to create. The formulas are all there, but imagine the recipe for a GIANT, elaborate as fuck, vanilla wedding cake. All the ingredients are so simple, but the sheer scale of the project. At least how pop was composed around 2008-2011. They had us break apart “Toxic” (B Spears) and holy shit. Over 120 audio tracks, and more layers than a god damn geological site. All this to say, that I definitely don’t have a talent for it. I can make wildly complex audio, but can’t write a 4-chord song.
i personally love midwest emo kind of technicality. bands like Tiny Moving Parts and TTNG kind of technicality, because despite of those constant complex riffs all over their songs, there is soul within them. but other than that, 100% agree on everything u said lmao.
Whole reason I want to learn to shred is to play the fast transitions in the solos lol
These opinions are all majority tbh
Ayyyy thanks for talking about my opinion
You gonna lose an eye firing that thing in that small room lol
Pop music is slowly getting better again but for the most part it had fallen off dramatically around 2015/2016 time. I say drake - one dance was the catalyst for its death but other people seem to love drakes music so I might just be in the minority. Pop music is my favourite genre just thought I should mention
It has definetelly gotten better since early 2010s but it isn't as good as 80s pop
Ive heard car seat headrest referred to as pop. If it is, its really freaking good.
That sheetmetal mustang poster brings back some repressed memories
Guns, Guitars, AND unpopular opinions what's NOT to love this guy knows wtf is up yo skrtskrt
So this is the first video Of yours that I have ever watched and I subscribed 35 seconds in because of what you said about solo guitarists!!!
LMFAO THE PSYCHED SUBSTANCE CUTAWAY
Judy looks like a great value version of a 89’ John Frusciante😅
good video uncle judy cant wait to see your guitar solo in front of the whole family on thanksgiving
some players have "soul", some players have "those fingers" and some players have "creativity".. sometimes (Hendrix) one has everything
8:48 i think natural talent exists but people with natural talent will not become great or anything better than average without hard work, the natural talent is just being slightly better than other people at something at first like being able to use several fingers to fret vs only using your first finger as a very beginner.
Exactly what I was about to comment. Like, I can pick up any instrument and play it decently pretty quick, but I have to practice my ass off for hours before I’m good.
Judy: I'm not a good speaker
My girlfriend: *I GET OUT OF WORK UNTIL* 7 pm
(she means I'm out of work at 7, yes she really speaks like that)
0:20 Preach it brother. Preach.
Your channel should be called "Cringe dude say things that makes a lot of sense". Keep it up
I think a music degree isn't a waste of time when it comes to learning (if it's a good school), BUT, it's probably always going to be a waste of money lol
Bruh, first time I see you more honest and not in a thicc onion layer of sarcasm, very good video c:
I have 3 sons. They all have different personalities and skills. Talent is real. Hard work is also important, but talent is real.
My opinion: Almost every genre of music is good, but if one more modern country artist writes a song about his truck, his dog, and his girlfriend that he just broke up with, I'm gonna say something that's not very RUclips friendly
As a metal elitist, I try to give other genres a chance , but country music still makes me want to od on pop rocks and coke...
Got recommended this video today andim not complaining

Rob Scallon is a good example of “Soul” imo
Emil Werstler from Daath said it best, back in 2010-2011. Jazz is the new shred.
tool's songs are all supposed to sound the same, thats the point of conceptual art rock; although it can get grossly formulaic, they never fail to deliver interesting rhythms, thoughtful lyrics, brain-bending psychedelic sounds and focused aggression.
I wonder why racer x and not someone else.. Paul would rarely tap and focused on string-skipping with his long fingers. (I was more stunned since he said he liked buckethead, a inspiring student of paul's, in a earlier video.)
I practically agree with every other point though.. thanks Uncle Judy ♡~...
