As someone who plays in a jazz big band and combo, you nailed this Also the rhythm at 4:36 is called a clave. Typically a 2nd percussionist plays a wood block/fills with timbales at the beginning

[@pollosasadosalcarbon]

this is just one of many claves, even bossa uses several types of claves, not even considering other genres i am actually latin american and percussionist and man i love claves so much, i feel them in my soul and body so hard, especially after that adam neely video where he explained claves as a lopsided metronome, that shit was eye opening

[@zbolt_]

@pollosasadosalcarbon ok thanks for letting me know. I'm a trumpet player so I don't know a lot of the technical stuff. I'll give the Adam Neely video a watch. I love his videos

[@ashleymessedup]

@@pollosasadosalcarbon The one he uses in the video is a 2:3 clave, right? I'm just learning the names of these things lol

[@эзи]

if frizk was a music teacher at school i would go back to irl school just to attend the music classes, the sheer amount of enthusiasm in frizk's voice from explaining something as simple in music production as chords is just insane

[@antitese3327]

As a Brazilian, I just wanted to make an errata, bossa is not a subgenre of jazz, it is actually born from samba that came from the outskirts and goes through a process of cultural appropriation by a richer, whiter class, especially in Rio de Janeiro, which used jazz references on top of samba in order to make samba more commercial to foreign people, but the root and initial genre of bossa is samba, which is a specifically Brazilian rhythm

Verdade, detalhe MUITO importante!!

[@GDRhythmic]

If it came from cultural appropriation, can i still like it?

[@pedroyoshinaga8326]

@@GDRhythmic I don't believe there's anything wrong with enjoying bossa nova also considering that it played a role in important social subjects like in the fight against Brazil's military dictatorship Like even though it's more elitist than other genres there's nothing necessarily wrong with liking it there's still artists and a history involving the genre that has nothing to do with this cultural appropriation but it is a good thing to know and understand when sharing or criticizing tradicional bossa nova songs this is all just my opinion tho id like to hear what other ppl think 😭

[@windyaik]

Im a big fan of bossa nova and that chord progression is known as the classic 2-5-1. basically you take the 2nd note of the scale and turn into a minor 7th, and then you take the 5th and 1st note of the scale and turn them to major 7ths. It is such a simple formula and it just sounds so good and funky. love the vibe!

[@rickcupola6262]

Adding a tritone substitution (from ii-V-I to ii-ii♭-I) makes it all the more interesting. It's used a lot in the Getz/Gilberto (holy grail) recording a ton, and it adds a descending chromatic (1 semitone) progression into a resolution, which gives a spicy tension yet a satisfying resolution.

[@DaviDsilva-pe6ce]

This video warms my heart, especially when you said “it’s so fun making music!”. Keep doing this, man! You’ve got talent!

[@itsduckietime4473]

Over time, I’ve learned coding, 3D modeling, advanced level design, and this one little goober of a video is inspiring me to stop ripping music and develop my own. Take a sub dude. ❤

[@kiraoshiro6157]

god I FCKING LOVE bossa nova, especially acoustic with that grainy vintage noise very good for keeping the night tulpas away

[@morshu.4158]

I guess I may have perfect pitch too, because as you put each chord in, I thought the next ones should be the same as you did! Great tutorial, Frizk! You're genuinely inspiring me. I've never managed to have any musical ideas before, but your "how-to/how I made" videos have helped me a lot! I might even try writing something soon.

[@texoco9280]

I dont think you have perfect pitch, as that is being able to immediately recognise any note that you hear, like seeing colours and being able to sing (for instance) a D perfectly without a reference. I think you just have a lot of musicality and flow, which are much more important than being able to tell what note is being played. Have fun making music though :)

[@morshu.4158]

@@texoco9280 Yeah, I don't know notes by name from hearing them, so probably not. Thanks man! You have fun too, if you ever decide to make music. :)

[@segg530]

@@texoco9280 relative pitch is what you are looking to describe this skill. It's just one step below Perfect Pitch honestly

[@amosbatalden5871]

Nah he's just flexing his luck, anyone can learn to write chords like this with some time

[@mattmann1623]

What Frizk calls perfect pitch here seems closer to "relative pitch", which is more about knowing the relation between notes. E.G., if someone plays for you a C and an A, you can hear that it's a major 6th/minor 3rd interval

[@cariboux2]

Finally! After years, an FL Studio producer who's into what I'm into! I play piano in a jazz-y band, but love producing my own music. But in the DAW world, I feel pretty much in the minority with my taste. This is sooo appreciated! I love getting ideas from others and your stuff sounds great. You definitely have the feel of it spot on!

[@SupaKoolEnt]

If you're old enough to experience video games of the late 80s and 90s, there are some game music remixes out there where the artists used FL Studio. A lot of the Sonic the Hedgehog themes had jazzed up remixes. I even remixed an X-men game level and did it in a jazzy house style!

[@Man_Jr._Studios]

Yes! I think remember a kid requesting a Bossa Break type song in your last video, so thanks for doing this!

[@pontus6030]

I love when producers explain how they make their music, like you and closet, its really fun to see how other people do it

[@wompietunes]

I just want to say Frizk, you are doing what I dreamt of doing as a kid. I’ve been making music for about 5 years now, and this inspired me to branch out some more. It’s interesting, seeing all the people in this comment section being amazed how you said “making music is fun,” while the whole point of making music is to HAVE FUN! Be creative, improvise, change that instrument that is out of place, add that drum beat to give it a nice vibe, let your imagination go! So, keep doing what you’re doing, and have fun! ❤️ - ThatsOwen | 11/28/2023
