    Two questions: Would you all actually watch a 1hr+ long video analyzing the entire thing even more in depth? Secondly, what other Bill Wurtz videos would you like to see an analysis of? Thanks for watching and thanks so much to all of you who have bought a shirt or hoodie from the store so far!!! You're all amazing.

    me, with no musical training whatsoever: ah yes, of course, makes sense

    EDIT: looks like i was wrong. he said so himself. honestly sounds more like A - G sharp (or A flat) - G listening again. must have been since charles played A - G sharp - F sharp and I got confused.

    What I love about Charles is that he takes something we know and like (history of the world video, in this case) and articulates *why* we like it. I always think it’s so cool to be able to break something down and describe why it’s actually good or interesting. He’s got the ear to hear what’s happening AND the language to define what’s happening. It’s the same thing we do in acting work and scene study. Such an amazing skill. Props to you, my man.

      I have a really good ear and I like transcribing stuff, but when I hear Bill Wurtz and try to analyze it, my brain is like NOPE. There are too many voices going all over the place in there for me to track, and it's so mellow that you'd never notice if one was slightly wrong. The only one I know he got right is the last one (factories with machines in them).

    Bill is the jazz historian. He's introduced so many people to the fluidity of jazz music as immersive and interesting, without them even knowing.

    P.s did anyone else noticed the double voiced "wow" at 12:25? Idk why but i thought that was really funny. Also, if Charles looks up to him that much, he should definitely try doing his style of music. A lot of my fellow composers used to copy me, and that made them aware of more options you have in music, so i think if you want to get to know all the ways to use a chord or harmony or melody or pretty much anything to be honest, try making a Bill Wurtz style-like video. You don't even have to share it
