Any musician understands that this video is outrageously impressive to make This deserves millions more views man I'm speechless

[@jonathanwilson6288]

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.

[@Diamond88keyz]

This video is made for musician's musicians. LOL

[@cupofsadge8359]

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

[@jean-lucbersou758]

Subtle and sensitive blues impro is the exact opposite of notes diarrhea you refer to .

[@icefire6622]

​@@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).

[@SamothIorio]

Everything everyone else already said + wow, a music analysis that uses a black background so that my eyes don't hurt like hell? Music is evolving!

You should check out Scruffy, a-mazing music theory youtube channel and yes, he uses a black background

When the brain is moving this fast, one doesn't even know that this is the amount of information in a bar of music. Stunning. Just a flow of creativity.

[@michawiertelak1422]

I don't know much about music theory and didn't understand almost anything what you've said. It was still fun to watch and to see how much I don't know and how crazy and complex music theory can be.

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.

*Just smile and nod and pretend you know what he’s talking about* But seriously your dedication to transcribe and analyse this is insane. All my hats off to you

newmarsvolta yeah, it’s pretty fun. We have a joke that music theory teachers go “cmon guys, it’s not rocket science” while rocket scientists go “hey what’s the matter guys, it’s not like it’s music theory”. Pretty great

[@csmarkham]

Leon, I grinned as I watched this whole thing. I SO APPRECIATE your trying to _explain_ why these interacting rifts happened. I am an absolute BEGINNER with a scant understanding of even some of the concepts put forward here. But as you've notated a real performance, I get a chance to integrat my "ear" with some KNOWLEDGE. Thank you!!

[@clumsiii]

just heard of jacob the other day. What you are doing is even more impressive. the initial scroll pan of the transcription was a great touch too. but mostly you have combined 3 forms of learning into this one detailed analysis. 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!

[@carlschafer7416]

[@wearethefirehouse]

Friend, as a filmmaker and musician, I have to say that the not only the THOROUGHNESS and tidiness of the content, but the flawlessly informative and effective visuals, is maybe just as impressive as the original piece. 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. How the heck did you even scribe this?? (Ps the Mario Kart opener killed me!)

[@_benrelf]

This vid is sick, funny and very informative, and the editing and displays that correlate with your narration are great!!! Subscribed dude I want to see more

[@tangoboy4jc]

🙏 thanks so much for this. I really do appreciate. >> Graphical illustrations are bespoke >> Explanations have been vividly churned out despite being quite complex >> The animations helped to get some air at the excruciatingly drowning moments. Definitely, they weren't thinking of this when they played. I believe tremendous amount of existing and undiscovered theory's are unleashed when musician's get into the zone... However, their limits ultimately reflect in the execution.
