The funny thing is, I’m sure if someone who doesn’t understand music watches this, they’ll probably think this wasn’t all nonsense. I remember listening to people talk about music when I was younger and it all sounded like gibberish 😂
For whatever reason, even though I immediately understood the premise of the joke, I watched the first minute of the video not noticing that the chords weren't the ones that Jacob actually played...
I'm going to send you my pulmonologist's, surgeon's and anesthesiologist's bills for the double lung replacement I needed after wheezing through this video.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Jacob Collier. The harmonies are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical music theory most of the notes will go over a typical listener's head. There's also Jacobs's use of microtonality, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these intervals, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Jacob Collier truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Jacob's signature chord: C#7#9b13+5+7%$69, which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Jacob Collier's genius wit unfolds itself on their youtube screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a Jacob Collier tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
brillaint.. I've been wanting to figure this out for decades and it's all clear now.. this video does need to come with a no hot drinks warning though...

This ruined my day
ye.
This made my bed
I kind of loved every second of it
@@seamusodwyer2426two days of laugh for me if it's not three
æăåªąäãâáāપªoooöööww!!!
All major chords are C, and all minor chords are bad. Yeah that’s about right
Straight from the man himself
Why am I crying laughing from that line?
Mainstream pop in a nutshell
i'm crying of laughter why is this exactly my type of humor help me
Hahaha I'm glad someone else thinks this stuff is funny
Same 😂
@@stevebacue9782 i just watched this video again because of your reply, and i cried out of laughter again. god this video is so fucking funny
Dude, same and so many people don't get it
stop crying
The funny thing is, I’m sure if someone who doesn’t understand music watches this, they’ll probably think this wasn’t all nonsense. I remember listening to people talk about music when I was younger and it all sounded like gibberish 😂
Sigh at least I can see the comedy here despite not being fluent in the musical language like we’d all like to be. Excellent point
Damn ur right
0:32 “This is C major”
C major: 🔪🔪🔪
C, C, C, C, C, those are the first 5 notes of C major
the piano shredding parts were so well done I don't think 90% of people could tell that wasn't what he was actually playing
With me lying dead on the floor with laughter, I can confirm that everything you need to know about C major is in this video
I would honestly believe that Jacob Collier could take some of that music, put it in a different context, and make it good.
For sure
0:10 i fucking lost it, comedy gold
I almost died with this one. And after just the first 10 seconds of video.
We need more ambitious YTPs of Jacob.
Loving the enthusiasm, but this is a little too humble for a Jacob Collier YTP
I love this so so so much.
"This is C major" _proceeds to play everything but c major_
Learning music theorist here.
This is such a niche subject to YTP, but I love you for doing it.
0:11 gave me the dopamine i needed for the day thanks bro
Lmaoooo glad I could help
Very nice.
me explaining something while i'm nervous
omg i lost it when they sang the triad
One of the best YTP I've ever seen. This video deserves at least 100 times the views it got so far
and even everything you dont need to know about c major. george collier really is impressive
The only piano lesson you ever need
i c it much clearer
Gold
This is THE best YTP on collier
I'm honored 🥹
I'm literally crying with laughter...
About as effective teaching as an unedited Collier video
For whatever reason, even though I immediately understood the premise of the joke, I watched the first minute of the video not noticing that the chords weren't the ones that Jacob actually played...
Laughed so hard, Jacob Collier has to see this !
I'm going to send you my pulmonologist's, surgeon's and anesthesiologist's bills for the double lung replacement I needed after wheezing through this video.
Why did the keys smashing sound like actual jazz chords
I got it C major is C/B#(add8)
🌚🌚
Dbb
I mean… arguably those notes are actually in the key of c on the piano..
the best music theory video of all time
This has got to be the funniest shit I've ever seen. What a perfect YTP
I’m dying. I’m finding this way funnier than I’m sure the creator intended
That last little run "Jacob" "played" was so believable! How on Earth did you sell those wrong notes so well! Maybe you should try free jazz.
my chest hurts the piano dubs are so fucking funny
This is some HIGH effort YTP!
Those piano mashing overdubs are so perfect! Holy crap~ lol
more of these and ur gonna be a huge channel for musical humour lol
Ty sm 🙏 that's the goal haha
Pianos are never animated correctly: Jacob Collier edition
This is real YTP at it's finest
I got my AP Music Theory teacher to show this to his new students because I explained how it helped me so much on the exam
Hahahaha
Why is this so incredibly underrated
this 3am fever dream is taking a turn for the worst
I would pay good money to get an entire course taught in this manner. ROFL
Bro this is actually gold
ᝰ cadences are my favorite type of cadence
I'm middling in music theory, but this got me sides hurting from laughter. Niche, but great comedic sense.
This is the first Jacobs meme that I see
music and YTPs are my favorite things so this is a great video
The sea was angry that day my friend.
I've never heard about 2t:rn,Fe@=L+{b$ cadences nor xtD=29{B_*v) cadences, honestly
You learn something new every day
Terry Riley wants to know your location.
This is the kind of specific humor i want my YT algorithm to recommend lmao this is hilarious
High class YTP. Well done.
This is absolutely incredible. Thank you
Now this reminded me of how laughing feels like.
This is not what i thought this video was going to be 😂 worth it
This is beautiful, such a unique way of teaching
Awesome! I guess by the time I post this June Lee has the whole sequence transcribed.
There should be more music theory RUclips poops
this was amazing.
Watching this again. Had to dig it up for a friend. OMG eyes watering. 😂
Hahahaha 🙏
Never thought I needed this. But I do. God fuck i do.
MASTERPIECE OML
I need more of these
I don’t know what YTP stands for but was bizarre and funny.
This is the funniest video on the internet
😳
this is so stupid i love this
I love this sm
this is triggering my anxiety
THIS IS AMAZING
NO u
Quality memery right here 👏 i rofl'd
LOL THIS MADE MY DAY
💙🙏🙏
i can't tell if this is so awful or so good - but i laughed like hell all the same.
exactly the content music industry needed
Any jazz musicians here?
.........
.........
Ok good
that was weird and unsettling
I can read and play music, but when someone starts talking music theory, this is what it sounds like to me!
This made my day
0:30 F#69 nice
Absolute creasing
Ah, I C.
So, this is basically any music theory class
I truly believe Keith Jarrett would approve.
I'm in tears. This was beautiful
Only 24k views ik the algorithm been brewing this one for a while, great video
Fr hahahaha
Oh god, YTPs for musicians. This is what I live for.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Jacob Collier tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
i love how you made all the piano notes sound bad lmao XD
great job syncing it to the video too
George Collier been real quiet since this dropped
0:25 - 0:30 ERIKA
Is this how music theory sounds to people who don't know theory?
We love C major
Oh okay, I see.
Thank you.
no yeah i think he's right actually. jacob cant be wrong
Incredible
Jacob had this coming. But I'll bet he loves it. 😂
brillaint.. I've been wanting to figure this out for decades and it's all clear now..
this video does need to come with a no hot drinks warning though...
thank you so much jacob
And he’s wearing a freakin drug rug 😂
I’ve never laughed this hard to a video ever, I think I need help
This is fantastic lol
Glishings
This video changed my life
