Wow, you're here! You are my biggest inspiration. I hope to meet you someday. By the way, your most recent video was amazing! I wish I could have been there. Even my mother who is not a fan of music most of the time LOVED it. I am 22 and have loved music my entire life. I messed around with it for a while, but I let people crush my dreams and stopped trying. They told me I was being unrealistic. What is being unrealistic about making art? People who could sing or play an instrument looked like they were doing magic to me. Despite how much I liked it, I was too scared to apply myself. I was constantly made fun of when I would sing. I have tried many things in life, but the one thing that I was constantly drawn to was music. I was introduced to video games by my parents because I did not fit in with other kids. They decided that this would help me fit in. Well, the games consumed me, and even though I fit in "better", I lost a part of myself. Looking back, I have finally realized that the only thing I really liked about the games was the music. That was my favorite part. I started taking professional vocal and piano lessons when I turned 20. Most people may have given up by then. I am giving this everything I have, and despite any results I may have, I will not stop. I am following my heart. I am tired of following others' goals for my life. My teacher believes in me with his whole heart, and who am I to let him and the others who believe in me down. You're awesome.
@thethirdstorypod Did you delete my comment? I had left one under jacob, just saying he was an inspiration to me. I also said some things about my current music journey. It was still up yesterday when I commented, but now it's randomly gone... my yt could be glitching but it's not likely at all. This sort of thing doesn't just happen. I put my heart into that, and i know he probably wasn't going to see it, but still. Never mind, yt hid it. Thanks, youtube...
That is so interesting. 10 years ago, wow. How different was my, your, anyone's life back then? Thanks for this little sliver of the past. It's incredible how JC's genius was apparent back then, and how he's grown since then.
What a great conversation about Jacob's process, vision, intentions and inspirations. It's a wonder to hear his clarity of vision and depth of wisdom at that age. I've learned so much about harmonization from dissecting the songs he plays on guitar (my language) that, at times, harmony is all I think about, rather than technique. It has revolutionized how I approach arranging on guitar. I can't wait to see what the future holds.
I love the way how his whole musical understanding is build out of or can be connected with everything of our realities. And how this things are put in different contexts or intentions and get different meaning as an own kind of world. And how this things can be seen in different perspectives: emotions and logics behind or in front of the final product or other meta-informations of the production- or release-process. Even topics like learning, inspiration in general with an open and patient mindset on one site and an emotional protected mindset in front of public opinions... and than translating everything in different languages like music... just fascinating. Of course the difficult nature of some things, which appear to contradict each other.. even the way to judge or not judge things like if it is good or bad... very complex, but interesting. At this moment I couldn't find better words than this comment to describe, what I want to express. And my thoughts (like all things) could change over time, because of many possible reasons that might appear to me. I think nothing is obvious like we sometimes think it is. It was very fun listening to this conversation and sensing positive energie in it.
I'll never forget it, Leo! Much love to you, my friend !!

In awe… At his age... So comfortable.

I can´t get it into my head that Jacob was more defined in what he does back then than I am now😂
