Quartal Melodies and Autotune (the intro music!) [ AN's Bass Lessons #9 ]

[@evanuah]

perfect fourth based melodies = game cube intro music

[@Charlyfromthenuclearcity]

DUDE ! You're god.

[@BanIsNotAPotato]

Now that you mention it.......

[@thefliesband3765]

I was talking to my piano teacher today about this song and that popped into my head on my ride home

[@jamespeterson4275]

Evan Jose or ELP as fuck sounding shit

[@accieT]

Thats what i always thought. Does this mean its musical genius or stolen memes?

[@kentlofgren]

the break-downs, the insights, the knowledge-sharing.... in such top-quality format! well scripted, professional, and with a touch of humour. one thousand of thanks to you Adam!

[@michaelcaudle6908]

Perfectly said. This is what I love about his channel. He explores everything even his own intro song!

[@KeeperOfSolitude]

I agree, I always complain at videos poorly made, explaining in 15 minutes something that could be done in 5. Adam's goes just right

[@betabenja]

+1 for full version. sounds like it could be awesome. at least, release the parts for home brew :)

[@Sci-Mon1]

It would be cool if you could make a full length version of the intro. it sounds gooooodd.

[@Don57]

Yes!

We really need you to make an extended version... I mean, you need

[@AlphaEnt2]

I have to say, i would also like to hear an extended version =P

[@qotsa007]

Yes, I would actualy pay for it and I think a lot of other people would too. What do you say Adam; 2 bucks for the song from you directly, no spotify stuff. (seeing this video has 50k views, that's a 100k dolla dolla bills my man)

[@babounce100]

I want the entire song, it's addictive.

[@noel101082]

My daughter when she was about 3 months old used to go mad everytime she heard that riff. i have it on video somewhere.

[@SgtMacska]

That is amazing

[@Moonbo]

Ok, really just asked on another video, but I'll ask here as well, full version or WHHAT!?!?

[@asherpereira615]

WHHAT.

[@elmerperez7350]

WHHAT.

[@tuky2729]

WHHAT.

[@greedo69]

WHHAT.

[@musik350]

WHHAT.

[@Pedun42]

My favorite secret GameCube startup sound

[@rman272]

So, I'm basically a celebrity now! Thanks for answering the question +some! Could you do like a 1 minute snippet of you improv-ing using mostly quartal harmony? Btw, your videos are fantastic.

[@joefourstrings]

What about that dancing guy? I know I've seen it some where before.

[@VincentDoesThings]

The more I listen to it. The more I enjoy it.

[@0008890]

I just love the way you say: Bass!

[@Randomguy190]

Among my most anticipated channels. More plz

[@Rakoah]

Adam Neely you the man

[@marcelpaige4134]

I’m a tenor sax player and I watch and learn from your videos all the time. Keep up what you’re doing, it’s really great. I really want to do what you do someday and play sax in gigs and travel and do recordings and all that jazz. I’m learning how to improvise over the break, as I’m more classically trained and don’t have anything taught to me outside of school. Luckily I have a really good ear in music, and now I’m starting to branch off from just doing school stuff and learning things on my own. You’re videos teach me all these cool things that are great and are interesting to me and I love it. Thanks a lot and merry Christmas Adam.

[@nickromero7262]

Please make an extended version!!! Please!!!!!

[@lulimas]

dude, the intro is the best part of your channel! ahahhaa awesome

[@DnmOrr]

Your intro music is bloody brilliant. Does the music extend beyond what you have in your intro? Also, what is the intro video from [the dancing guy]?

[@xRaddicKx]

I fucking love the sound of riffs containing perfect 4th, sounds sooo proggy

[@DoctorCalabria]

3:35 Adam, you made me finally appreciate Britney ;) (Thanks for all your insightful lessons here and on Patreon!)

[@MrT6nis]

I really need a nice 1h version of this intro.

[@Carlo24515]

Total KNOWER vibes!

[@SihtamEmperor]

I devouring your videos.

[@PugCuber]

This was super awesome! Thank you!

[@Vintagestep]

I check this video frequently just to listen that intro over and over...

[@ulfgj]

u certainly have upped ur quality on ur vid, holmes!! BASS!

[@BleuNoirProductions]

Awesome stuff! What I love most about the intro music is what the Hi-Hat does. :)

[@onesyphorus]

the nostalgia is crazy on this one. ah.. bsck when he called them AN's bass lessons

[@jasonmitsch]

I never noticed there were words other than the super deep "BASS" at the end. I thought it was keys with a quirky filter rather than auto-tuned vocals. I like it so much more now!

[@rorymcdines8628]

this video was perfectly put together I'm still laughing! But at the same time I love how effectively you explain your process and techniques. This and every video of yours I've seen so far are brilliant thank you so much for putting these in youtube!

[@Vintagestep]

I was wondering this same thing and the video showed up in my feed, really love that intro, like REALLY

[@andorrasrevenge1683]

Man this channel is great, I’ve always had an affinity for the base, specially upright. In the group I play in the bassist is the easy guy, always the easy guy, if the bassist isn’t the easy guy(gal) get another!

[@starframeapocalypse381]

That bass intro is like tech-death

[@DanielJ]

Frickin right dude?

[@francescoberiedir]

Tech death is basidally jazz with distortion

[@twitch.101]

I love the intro music. It gets me interested every time haha

[@BlikeNave]

Plz just loop those measures and release it as like a min long song. Sooo many of us would be so happy! The catchiest thing I've heard all year :D

[@pensatorseven1898]

Always loved your opening song.

[@PR0CKBP]

dude hell yeah. I've been watching​ a lot of your videos recently. You are a very creative person I'm glad you make these videos. I haven't had the money for schooling so I've been having a lot to learn on my own. I'm would say I'm fairly knowledgeable with music theory, and several of your videos are answers to questions I've been looking for for a long time. thanks!

[@draconfir]

Plz make a full song of this. it's so awesome

[@flatmac]

I just wanna sit on my couch while everyone's gone on a friday night, and binge all adam's old shit

[@davidgerber9317]

Excellent. Can't get enough of this stuff. I never realized it until you showed the music here that your theme is somewhat similar to "Kaliedoscope", Marian Mcpartland's theme song from piano jazz. I hope this doesn't give me away as an old geezer.

[@gogreyhoundmusic]

very cool. I wouldn't mind seeing a full production breakdown of everything you did for this track. easily the best intro music on youtube.

[@Arycke]

"Those Who Chant" Walter Bishop Jr. is an amazing song with tons of quartal stuff in it

[@chatbass2468]

I really like your creativity man. Keep doing what you do, it's really appreciated.

[@kharis6770]

Missed your intro, rewatching this still feel the same excitement as before. Even though I don't understand any 😁

[@rubbereentjuh]

That intro was epic and I was hoping there was a full length intro. Liked the video anyway :)

[@KirkHMiller]

I have listened to this intro in front of every video and until I saw this video I didn't even realize the synth was auto tuned lyrics!

[@lauscho]

Don't know how you feel about prog-rock, but quartal melodies are a pretty major part of what makes Emerson Lake and Palmer's "Tarkus" sound so distinctive.

[@Soloist1983]

Love quartal/quintal harmony for that "computer-like" tonal vagueness...whole-tone does something similar but with more of a "lost" feeling, all great tone colors not often heard :-)

[@vahnrondel]

I thought it was.. I... dont... nee... eeeds.... basslessons...

[@easementh]

Now I am interested in perfect fourths.

[@briancherry8088]

lol. I never noticed the lyrics before... at least not consciously. its a cool piece though.

[@mmmpie]

full version when?! also, another notice that you and your videos are supreme

[@kevinnguyen552]

0:07 intro

[@jurrien88]

I love the "synth-80's-house" part

[@adriannacicchitelli]

I bloody love your intro 👌🏻👌🏻so clever.

[@Ogaitnas900]

Make a long version please! ha that little synth is just addictive

[@jakayboy]

No link or download to full song? No linking to this video in other videos using this song? What's going on? I found something I like that you made and I can't listen to it on repeat? Why would you do this to me and yourself?

[@MrVadymMykh]

It has been for a whole year and still no dislike! awesome!

[@BunkerM4]

and suddenly there is one dislike >~< some people

[@RedHeatOnTheStreet]

you jinxed it

[@BunkerM4]

it was disliked before I got here :b

[@thefakedeal]

some asshole already did it

[@WanderTheNomad]

It's comments like these that cause dislikes.

[@boggo3848]

Emerson Lake and Palmer's Tarkus is a great example of loads of quartal melodies.

[@lazergurka-smerlin6561]

Auto tune is sort of like unity in that both get derided for what they're used for even though they're both perfectly fine tools

[@InsaneH]

That's such an awesome intro

[@Arcae95]

Ayeeee just what i needed!!!

[@uberkoth]

Thank you for your lessons, Adam It really helps

[@rottalmusik6563]

your theoretical explainations are so easy to understand 😊👍

[@BlikeNave]

Soooo sick! I would love a full version to groove to. Also, what are the four main chords of the catchy groove?

[@tombouwmeister6254]

it's the same chords as where he plays the bassline. But instead of an emaj7 I thinks it's an emaj7/9 so there that constant switch between the f# and the f.

[@BlikeNave]

Thx mate!

[@Chilajuana]

Very nice lesson...

[@babounce100]

That intro is addicting, I agree with others, I want the extended version.. and a tab..

[@892kct]

Hello I’m here from 2020 quarantine and the world would be a better place if you make a longer version of the intro please

[@irfanchooify]

speechless, liked !

[@caseyjamie818]

Hi Adam. Can we please now have a longer version of Adam Neely’s Bass Lesson? 🥺👉🏼👈🏼

[@FingarB]

This should be a full song.

[@VELVETPERSON]

ah dumb knee please baseless suns

[@mybiggrin]

THIS. THANK YOU.

[@tonyhakston536]

I didn't even notice the vocals until it was pointed out.

[@flatmac]

sounds like the kawashima sudoku intro lmao. nintendo loves using quartal harmony lol

[@stefan1024]

Pretty cool!

[@kaemonbonet4931]

came for the lessons stayed for the bass

[@kufuorseninnosatsu2448]

Full version please

[@SendyTheEndless]

For a great creative use of autotune, check out Aphex Twin's Windowlicker from 1999. Classic electronic music! I love the part in your intro tune where the note just hangs on at the end of the vocal phrase but the chords carry on changing. Wish it went on longer :)

[@alexschuster1618]

2:30 Challenge accepted.

[@RurczakKurczak]

Make a full version of this song :D

[@CelsoARRibeiro]

Hey Adam, I - and other people I'm sure - would LOVE to see the score for your jazz-robot-fart-choir score! It has a harmonic pattern that my Harmony III Course attendee brain can't grasp just yet. Please!

[@bruhbrown9558]

Adam should open every video doing the nazely opening

[@user-cr4gn2pr5v]

Where can I find that video of Freedom Jazz Dance? I looove this rendition of it

[@organ444]

I was thinking the same! I managed to find it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnOnn6mfpdx_jNk

[@flavy1000]

JAJAJAJA ! Great video, as always, and by the way, you made my day! XD "Autotune may be used creatively...to correct bad vocals..." XD! But, that´s true...it might be used for something good...=) At least, trying to harmonize is not as bad...some way to learn something I guess..

[@d-lynnz7855]

Cool, nice lesson! now where's the video from

[@Progger7]

we need the full version

[@xFliox]

Still no full version? Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

[@mBUSHattack]

I'm glad even a super educated dude understands that auto tune still holds value as a sound design tool. I know the plugin makes everyone cringe at the thought, but it's a tool, like a phaser/flanger or any other well known effect and shouldn't be against the rules just because a couple of guys we don't like used it.

[@PiJay15]

You have to do a long version !! Please ;-)

[@FrancoGrimoldi]

great!

[@captainsanchez4829]

bro make a full song from that, make a new album with it for sungazer

[@krankenbank]

Make a longer version!!

[@IOxyrinchus]

Normally I hate auto tune because it's a way for talentless singers who can't sing to fake talent but I like it when it's used in a creative way like in your intro, you made its use justifiable by using it for a creative purpose, daft punk are a duo who I think use auto tune creatively in a lot of their songs, take for example, one more time

[@drewb5775]

yay my fav interval

[@shermanthompson871]

That's Wynton on that recording of so what! (same voicing though so I guess my point is moot.)

[@rickybasilone8989]

Please loop this for 30 minutes. My brother wood like to dance to this amazing lick

[@officialpierluk]

Autotune can be really uninteresting in a lot of pop music but sometimes really interesting in more experimental stuff. Radiohead used it in pakt like sardins in a crushd tin box for instence and in sound great in this cold noisy song

[@miki_the_little198]

Please give us a full version! ;-; im not even playing bass
