Its like Rick Beato said when he broke down this song, the lead solo is so idiosyncratic to Scholz, that no one is really gonna replicate this as Tom did it. But you got really close to the LP version, well done young fella. All you need now is an old Rockman. ;-)

Thank you! That's a cool fun fact that I hadn't thought of before. I just watched some live videos, and yeah, Tom plays the organ part on "Long Time" instead of the leads. And I know that when I've watched videos of "Don't Look Back," he's playing rhythm guitar as well. It's very interesting since the lead parts in those songs sound like something he also would have written and played. Boston has got a signature sound!

hmm should i look up a guitar tab to learn this solo or just watch this 1000 times
@LennonAshtonNY Ай бұрын
As I wrote in another comment, I learned this solo by ear, so I do not have any tabs for it. The solo is in the key of E♭ major (mostly the major pentatonic scale), with some G♭s thrown in for some added color (mode mixture). If you get comfortable with that scale around the middle of the guitar neck, that will make this solo easier to learn. And to really get the most out of playing this solo, try to find a way to get the notes to sustain. I used a guitar with a Sustainiac pickup, but performing near an amplifier can also help. I hope this helps! Someone else commented that there is a Rocksmith video here on KZbin that might help too. It's worth checking out. This is a very fun solo to play!

Thank you so much! My goal was to create a comprehensive overview of some of the key topics in music theory, and I am so glad that many people are finding it helpful. I might make an updated version of it in the future. I highly recommend looking up Dr. B Music Theory on KZbin. Dr. Brellochs recorded his music theory lectures, and his style of teaching is phenomenal! His lectures cover the majority of the things that I covered in my video, and he breaks them down at a microscopic level, whereas my video is more of a macroscopic overview.

For some reason I always thought circle 4ths was 4 notes above and 5ths were 5 above. Thank you for the clarification
@LennonAshtonNY 4 ай бұрын
For the circle of fifths that I wrote, going clockwise, each key is a perfect fifth above the key you are currently on. Some people prefer to write the circle backwards compared to the version I drew, which would mean that going clockwise, each key is a perfect fifth below the key you are currently on, or going counterclockwise, each key is a perfect fifth above the key you are currently on. The perfect fourth and the perfect fifth are inversions of each other, so this could lead to some initial confusion when using the circle because people might not understand why it can be written two different ways. This is also why some people use the names "circle of fifths" and "circle of fourths" interchangeably. This is a matter of preference, and either works as long as the person writing out the circle is consistent in their approach.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! This is my favorite Yes song, and it is easily one of my favorite songs to play on the guitar! I think I was 14 when I learned it, and it was a challenge because it is basically a long guitar solo. There are very few things that are repeated, so remembering the next thing to play is what makes this song a challenge. Not to mention that a lot of dexterity is needed for things like certain chord shapes, hybrid picking, the fast hammer ons and pull offs, and using the volume pedal. Such a masterpiece!

Just an advice concerning mistakes while talking. As an actress I learn that mistakes are a very part of human beings therefore feel free to make a mistake and don't bother yourself or feel anxious about it. Myself I do mistakes while talking or explaining something in real life and I don't bother myself thinking that I shouldn't make mistakes. Mistakes happen so we deal with them as a normal thing. We're just humans and we cannot be it if we do not do so. Of course we have to try to reach perfection eventhough we are imperfect but it's not imposed on us. We try our best. So If you stop while explaining just let yourself to be spontaneous and take your time to reorganize your thoughts from new. And let it be. Your explanation is really great I mean vocally everything pronounced in an explanatory tonality and every word is pronounced well. Also making a mistake do not make you unserious or less serious. Absolutely not. You can stay in your serious mode even when stopping. Your explanation is serious and that's what I Like. Also compact and well organized. Really. Carry On🖐️🙌 There's a show on youtube called 'Al jahbath' talks about scientific vulgarization. You can nltice how the presenter is talking and explaining seriously and in explanatory mode even when using comic or sarcastic way because the purpose from this show is to make people love reading about sciences so he should make them love it. So the episode becomes both teaching and entertaining and therefore breaking the stereotype of absurdity of entertainment. This cadre on the media even in real life is important to attract the reciever and make the thing more entertaining. For me if it's a 5 hour video I would complete it till the end because Music for me already something I'm passionate about. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2TIpX5vYseAsJosi=xxA7rTfxeQOLa1p6 Free plastine🇵🇸🇵🇸 pray for it
@jeffh5388 4 ай бұрын
I agree Lennon took a very complex theory and presented it brilliantly where above average (intelligent) people might possibly understand. This is made possible by the fact Lennon understands music theory to an exceptionally high degree. For Lennon’s audience and “my sanity”, the word vulgarization needs some translated help. In French the word, vulgarization, means the act of synthesizing complex knowledge into a form that a more broad audience can understand. In English, the word may appear to have negative connotations, but in reality more accurately translates to “Making science more accessible while also making it attractive to a specific targeted group (musicians)”, which is exactly what Lennon did. This is one of those videos that should be converted to 47 different languages to help as many people as possible. Yes it’s that good. Ciao

This video would be beneficial to any musician! The first hour of this video covers the fundamentals, and those are the basics of the musical language that will enable someone like a piano student to learn how to read music. Topics from the video like harmonic progression and cadences can also help when learning new music because a musician can use knowledge of chord functions and typical progressions to anticipate what they should expect to find in the music.

Music theory certainly does take some time to master, but with enough studying and practice, you can do it! I like to give students speed tests on things like key signatures, intervals, chord identification, diatonic chords, nonchord tones, cadences, and harmonic progression to make sure they get to the point where they don't have to think about the answers. Once you become comfortable with the fundamentals, the rest becomes a lot easier. And this is a subject where practice is essential. It might make sense upon reading a textbook or watching a video, but actively practicing problems is the true test to check your understanding. Good luck with your studies!

If you have a keyboard that is capable of combining sounds, I like to have piano and strings combined with some added reverb to capture the atmosphere that makes this song so special. Good luck!
