None of us interpret music the same due to nature, nurture, and how our brains perceive the world. I started playing guitar to play rock and punk...As I developed, what I thought I wanted, I was trying to force upon myself. It turns out I excel at R&B and Neo-Soul genres, and I fell in love with it. Not that I can't play Metal or Rock, I can just enter a state of flow with R&B instantly. Excellent video!

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! And R&B and Neo-Soul?! LOVE IT!

[@jarenr4041]

You're crazy talented, thanks for the advice

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Thank you!!!

[@Trads_Tabs]

It all makes sense now! I absolutely see those three styles in your mixes. Another great video, it’s given me some things to ponder!

[@isaacmaze7897]

As someone who can't decide between folk, dance, rnb, artpop and techno; this was super inspiring to see, big thanks. And that demo track was absolutley fire

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Thank you hahahah and just keep following your passions. Your sound will emerge

[@mdue72]

The universe provides us with healthy passions for the purpose of making great music and create, good point 👍

[@jasonmc8011]

It’s great to see the way that you use different genres to create your style. I think my style will eventually be mixing orchestral, rock/metal guitars, and risers/FXs. After watching this, I have to see how you make vocal shots. That was awesome. I could see that in an action track as well.

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Agreed!!!! I can’t wait to see what you make!

[@isaac_o7599]

I’m currently in love with k pop and Korean hip hop but I also love Japanese rock and metal and different American rock bands and English rock bands. I love hip hop I love soul music and jazz. I don’t know how to make music because I can’t decide between them and song writing is so hard and beat making is so hard to do when I have so many influences. This video was definitely very encouraging thank you so much 🙏🙏

[@VesselForHonor]

This was very encouraging and helpful :) The mix you gave as an example was just absolutely shnasty

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Hahaha thank you

[@Joe_Hunter]

Dude - Great topic for a video that I've not seen before! The Ven diagram is brilliant - never thought of using that before but it makes so much sense!

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Thank you!!! Glad it helped!

[@KaitavSapreMusic]

Something I have been struggling with a bit lately even after producing music for years, but this is a good reminder to continue to go down the rabbit holes and make progress without overthinking. Funny enough though, what you said actually starts happening automatically over time and you start blending various elements subconsciously in the effort to create a certain sound. So the takeaway I think is to keep making music and not worry too much about the genre. Great perspective and interesting video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, appreciate it.

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

And thank you for your comment!

[@bartonreder5474]

Dude, that’s actually helped, thanks 👍

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

I LOVE it when things work as advertised haha

[@bartonreder5474]

@@AndrewBarrMusic yea me too 😂👍

[@Divuar]

Thanks, I needed this! Btw, the song is siiiicckkkkk!

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Thank you! And glad you enjoyed it!

[@famouswww]

Great advice! Thanks for sharing your experience with us :) My friends in highschool hated that I'm switching genres in matter of weeks, but I never gave up and now I can create for example, an 80's sounding disco-pop track with elements of jazz, funk, trap and metal that still sounds fresh.. Production is all about style and creativity, but technical knowledge is a must if you ask me. Gotta know all about that sweet gear 😅

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Technical knowledge is definitively important, but the longer I do this the more I think songwriting and arranging is key. There are technically awful sounding songs that have hit top 100 this past year and it’s because it’s a killer written song. But I believe it’s all important

[@famouswww]

@@AndrewBarrMusic Agree ✌🏻

[@gigiwhite.mp3]

Just have fun with it. What was fun yesterday may not be fun today and that's okay.

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

“And that’s okay” is one of my favorite sayings right now haha

Excellent video, deserves a lot of views.

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Thank you!!!

[@manolohusky]

Really fuck with your vids, man. Really informative! Thank you for sharing!

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Thank you for watching!

[@iambruceleroi]

I WATCHED THIS VIDEO & THE HATING YOUR VOICE 1. KEEP GOING BRO UR CONTENT FYE & EXTREMELY HELPFUL.

[@colej3360]

Started out influenced by metal, nu-metal, post/prog rock. My life needed more chill and less chaos so got into acoustic finger style and my current interests and what I’m working on are blues travis picking stuff, slow blues playing changes and Pink Floyd style progressions. My lead skills still need work but something good will come of it I’m sure. If I locked myself into a genre I would lose passion for it no doubt.

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

As would I. We should always be growing IMO

[@sachetsofrelish]

Steve Jobs was the Fonz! Now it all makes sense.

[@crowdkillproductions.]

I struggled with finding my sound for about 20 years. Im into super modern metal but also grew up on nu metal and og deathmetal. I ended up finding my sound but now where im in a wierd spot where my music isnt heavt enough to be dsathcore but is way too heavy to gain much traction. But it sounds different so thats neat :)

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

You’ll find an audience for it. Keep pushing it!

[@iambruceleroi]

DON'T MEAN TO COME OFF LIKE A WEIRDO WITH O'D COMMENTING BUT UR MUSIC TOUGH🤧

[@SinfulSoulBand]

Linkin Park eill forever be the band that introduced me to genre blending. BMTH is always gonna be a part of it too, but in my personal journey linkin park has definitely shined in the rabbit hole.

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Completely agree. Linkin Park always has a special place for me

[@skogangcobra4604]

Got your email.

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

🤘😭 thanks bro

Steve jobs finish that anecdote saying "And because apple had the first fonts and MICROSOFT COPIED APPLE, we all have fonts" Which Steve doesnt aknowledge is that Microsoft copied apple and still reigns over the market. So at the end, it only matters if you are good enough, unlike apple.

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

Apple is worth 1.9 Trillion right now… I’d say they’re good enough to keep selling computers to the same market. The point remains tho. Someone’s rabbit hole served them

[@ArielAfk]

​@@AndrewBarrMusic Im not arguing the video, I think you are right be as much you as possible, just the anecdote, At the end its only his sense of design which embeded on the company made it worth that much. On NeXt he did pretty much the same thing in a new way

[@greenloungerecording9362]

I come at this from a different perspective.. I play in bands where I bring a different approach (blues, soul, country, classic rock) into bands that are predominantly indie, indie rock, and the philosophy is that you stir the pot with the original songs and see what comes out. It is pretty amazing to see a song morph from its 1st cut to something very different at the end. It is the fact that everyone brings something different to the table, that can result in some surprising things.
