"HEY JUDE" in a MINOR KEY - Tyler Ward & KHS COVER

[@ruwanthibernadette6657]

Please make "Minor key covers" a thing :') kurt you're awesome ❤️🙈

[@LexicalTortoise]

+Kurt Hugo Schneider Chase Holfelder is currently working on a major to minor project. He's done quite a few different songs now which are quite similar to your arrangement of Hey Jude. Maybe you guys should do a collaboration? Regardless, he's worth checking out :)

[@HeyItsLolly]

I'm beginning to think Kurt isn't human. It's the only reason I can think of to explain how he has so much talent

[@Kleo3392]

Yeah, minor is always better than major. People don't realize it, but it's true regardless. It's just psychology.

[@evelynisela8361]

Despite the change from a major key to a minor one, in what ways are both versions of the song similar?

[@ahumblewaffle]

Die and let die?

[@MrAdamArce]

This version so much more haunting and mysterious, as if he's trying to run from a problem that keeps dragging him back in. I like it.

[@natashajumari]

What made you change the key to this song like what goes on in your thought process why does everything you do sound so good KURT TEACH ME

[@KurtHugoSchneider]

+Natasha Tsui

[@monkeyman123321]

+Natasha Tsui 0_o the process is instead of playing the major keys play the minor key version of the same notes. Basically instead of playing white keys play the black keys.

[@debran940]

+monkeyman123321 Yeah that is not how major to minor works... Basically you have transpose the main key to a minor ie C major to C minor which means instead of having no black keys you have 4 sharps and a B flat which is 5 black keys, not all

[@monkeyman123321]

***** in a nutshell ya it is 0_o Look at a D minor on the piano. all black keys. then most of the rest have one or more black keys.

[@ceilidh169]

+monkeyman123321 most major keys also have black keys. and D minor only has one (sometimes 2)

[@MacMilanBHV]

This sounds like someone, desperately, trying to cheer someone up, but secretly they know it’s too late.

[@lzyprsn]

I enjoyed it. You freshened a classic with out harming it. Nicely done.

[@kletap4463]

When its in a minor key, it sounds so much more... Dark

[@TheGoldenSkye]

Waddle waddle

[@citrusaurus1970]

Well, that's what minor keys are supposed to do.

[@FullElven]

+Krishna Letap To me it honestly takes this song that once sounded like it was meant to cheer someone up, now sound like a dive into drug addiction with a drug codenamed "Jude" if you think about it. I dig this version though!

[@samuelhodil1458]

+CitruSaurus Actually that's not entirely true. Minor keys don't make a song sad. You can put lyrics to the minor key to make it sad, but the key itself, whether it's D minor, A minor, or any other minor key, does not determine if it's sad or not. It's just that our modern music uses minor keys to reflect sadness. It was never like that until very recently.

[@TheProbstX]

+Samuel Loshark What you're saying is not true either. A minor chord means that the 3rd tone in the chord is a ½ (sometimes 1) tone deeper. Therefore a minor chord is definitively darker (deeper) than a major chord.

[@jeanettedemon1660]

Covers like this make me wanna get the next airplane to LA to hug you guys and thank you for your awesome job

[@JaredHalleyMusic]

such a creative take on this iconic song! Love it guys.

[@mohakmosh]

This cover is a genius. So it feels a bit odd that the song is not the same as the original, but at the same it feels like you continue listening in search of the tune the ears are used to. This creates a reject-and-accept effect! Great creation! Cheers!

[@luishenriquefalconifilho2124]

This looks so... haunting... for some reason... XD

[@andretsang7337]

Maybe because it's in a minor key?

[@GregorMilneVideos]

Do you not mean sound?

[@winghaylau1962]

I agree definitely!😂

Kurt you work with the most incredible singers, and you are an incredible artist yourself! I am so impressed with this. A fresh twist on a classic.

[@sergebernier8146]

It's common to see musicians taking an average song and turn it into a hit..But here you took a hit song and made it yours, it is original, keep it up!

[@johnd5574]

Whoa! I've never actually liked the original song... but this arrangement and performance was very cool! The minor key is a little haunting, the performance was powerful and really compelling. Loved this!

[@jameslott6329]

Absolutely wonderful! I will have to add this to my collection as a Music teacher. I now have a state standard to expose students to minor keys in Elementary School. Putting this next to the original version would also make for a nice compare/contrast discussion! Thank you for a wonderful teaching piece, and keep up the work. My students LOVE what comes on your channel almost every time. Know that you are inspiring children to break free from their normal genres and explore other types of music.

[@Sarxos2003]

Totally needs some Chase Holfelder guys.... he would add that special something to the rockin' parts of this arrangement

Oh great, a bunch of comments about how the Beatles were such a fandamntastic band. Look, i'll give them sergeant pepper, that was a cool album, but they are not the end all be all of music. They did something cool for the time, but music would have evolved just as well without them.

[@scarlotred6313]

Hey Jude, don't make it bad Take a sad song and make it better Remember to let her into your heart Then you can start to make it better Hey Jude, don't be afraid You were made to go out and get her The minute you let her under your skin Then you begin to make it better And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain Don't carry the world upon your shoulders For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool By making his world a little colder Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Hey Jude, don't let me down You have found her, now go and get her Remember to let her into your heart Then you can start to make it better So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin You're waiting for someone to perform with And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do The movement you need is on your shoulder Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah yeah Hey Jude, don't make it bad Take a sad song and make it better Remember to let her under your skin Then you'll begin to make it Better better better better better better, oh

[@EdsAttentionToDetail]

I am impressed after knowing what the original song sounds like in Major that he (Tyler Ward , KHS) could stay in Minor. The whole time I kept expecting it to go into Major. I listened to the song as part of a Music Appreciation class and not sure how I feel about the class but I enjoyed listening to this track. I guess I now have a deeper Music Appreciation!

[@clockworkorange1]

In my opinion, cover should sound different than an original song. That's why I admire what you did, although I prefer The Beatles one. But keep going, you make awesome videos. It's not about copying, it's about showing people how you understand the music. Just "take a sad song and make it better" :) That's the thing! Have a nice day, everyone!

[@TomoGermany]

What is Jude ? In germany is Jude = Jew :D So i only can laughing about this lol ...

[@NikkiTheViolist]

+Tomo Jude is just a name. As a male name, it comes from the name Judah or Judas; some women have it as a nickname too (from the names "Judith" or "Judy"). In the song, though, Jude is Jullian Lennon (nicknamed Jules, but in the song it got changed to Jude because "it sounded a bit better.") whose parents were going through a divorce, and the song was written as a comfort-song ("Hey, everything is going to be better. You don't have to hold your pain in. You don't have to suffer alone." and so on.)
