Brian Wilson & Carl Wilson on 'Sloop John B'

[@chrisvanetten3911]

Is this from a documentary? If so, where can i find it? 😁

[@theoloutlaw]

It's from the Forrest Gump VCD 2 disc version from 1995. This is the complete segment with Brian and Carl. I wish there was more :(

Aw man. This seems like one of the best Brian Wilson & Carl Wilson interview, and there’s only 2 minutes worth. That’s like finding one verse from the Nag Hammadi

[@harrygeorgebray6386]

One of the things I love about Brian is how he doesn’t use complex terminology and how he even forgets what he’s used and certain musical definitions. He’s very laid back about it. It gives him a real innocence No showing off and no music theory. Anyone can learn and play and know music extremely well if they want to, but very rarely are people TALENTED with music and songwriting abilities.

[@davidnissim589]

Brian didn't need to know all those terms, he was just a natural master of harmony.

[@joeschembrie9450]

Paul McCartney can't read notes and Brian Wilson doesn't know technical terms like 'inversion' and yet they're among the greatest songwriters of their time. I think this says something about the reductionist approach to music theory, and maybe to a lot of other things as well.

[@raywalsh2190]

Eddie Van Halen couldn't read music, either. Seems like the great ones just use the instruments to express what they're feeling. (And, as opposed to the chicken/egg question, we know that instruments, however simple, came before sheet music. So ...)

[@robsmithadventures1537]

I think it shows that talent is more intuitive than learning notes off a page

[@SeahorsesJay]

Learning everything there is to know about grammar and vocabulary doesn't mean you'll be able to write a great literary work. It's the same with music, it's a talent to be able to express yourself like that, which is why many studio musicians schooled in theory cannot actually write successfully

[@allenjones3130]

Sure, Paul and his fellow Beatles couldn't read music, but opera singer Ezio Pinza and singer/ actress Shirley Jones never learned how to read music either.
