  • Viral when released and occasionally reposted by Jacob and Cory, C Jam Blues is a solid example of what Jacob Collier and Cory Henry can do in an impromptu improvisation. The key is C Blues, but Jacob and Cory quickly diverge into other keys, at times harmonically converging and at other times diverging. Here's the breakdown of the famous jam.

      Al Giovannelli I’m not a musician and even I know the level of impressiveness this video is. I’m a huge fan of Jacob and Corey. There musicianship is insane. But for this guy to be able to break down their madness is insanely impressive to me! This was an awesome video. I do envy you musicians that do at least have the ability to mimic this in some way. I will just continue to sit back and marvel.

      Ive been playing piano for 2.5 yrs and I understood about .5% of what the video talked about like when the narrator said F major, C major, Eb, etc I know what those are. Had no idea that there are notes like Csus7 (is that right?) No idea what sus is I need to look that up. Same with like, Fadd11 or whatever it was. No idea what that is LOL. Being an adult learner sucks

    • @icefire6622
      @icefire6622 Год назад +1

      ​@@cupofsadge8359Those are Jazz chord symbols. Csus7 is C dominant 7th with a suspended third. A not-suspended C7 chord is C, E, G, Bb, but Csus suspends the third up to the fourth. (Csus7 = C, F, G, Bb). Fadd11 is just a F major chord with an added 11th (F, A ,C, Bb).

    this video is so incredibly impressive. I can't imagine the number of hours it must have taken to transcribe their playing, analyze it, then create all these impressive digital visualizations of their lines to perfectly highlight exactly what is important. The analysis was well-paced, upbeat, with structural, emotional, and practical comments mixed in with theoretical discussion, without losing sight of the fact that this isn't a perfectly concocted piece, its just a jam. Absolutely amazing video, I subbed instantly.

    You put some WORK into deciphering what is a musical Rosetta Stone tablet, and then paired it with fantastic mograph work. Mad respect. I can’t imagine how long this took. You have a new sub.

Hearing, reading, and visual learning. The visual for me is very important because while I love and appreciate fancy music I need those training wheels. This is far and away the most thorough video media analysis of a piece of (improvised!) music I've ever seen. Are there more people doing this? I will look -- thank you for the inspiration and attention to detail. totally subd *and! slowing the passages down was really helpful too, hear it then sloowwwed wtf!

      BTW, people say "kung fu" when referring to wu shu, and kung fu actually translates as "hard work". Kung fu is much more than martial arts. It is the strife for mastery in any discipline through intense devotion.
      I had a meal at a Chinese restaurant once that was so amazing that I complimented the cook on his kitchen kung fu.
