I found this lost piece of music HISTORY!

[@Gee-no]

Now let Nik Nokturnal turn it into metal🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@BuildEnvironmentTV]

Last time I found ~20 year old sheet music it was an orphaned viola part from a string quartet I wrote freshman year, the other 3 parts had been lost to time and/or a shoebox in the back of the cellist's closet. Though it was a fun exercise to try recreating the rest of the instruments without changing the viola part at all, using that part and half a memory of how it originally went.

Aka Limp Bizkits Significant other album

[@danielj_music]

Stellar video editing! You're a true entertainer! Love the tune!

[@jarrodhroberson]

this is my favorite kind of video, explaining what you were/are thinking, why what works works and why what does not work does not and how to "fix it" in different ways.

[@timbeaton5045]

Such a good point about the lead sheet. I used to be a regular at a Jazz basement spot in London (Hi Paul at the Spice of Life!) where it was definitely a music education, especially watching groups of musicians, who might never have played together before often being handed lead sheets by a singer on the spot, and basically just playing the song. No tabs, rehearsals, or discussions. Just great musicians who knew their craft, and understood what they were doing, and what the singer wanted. This level of musicianship i have rarely encountered outside of the Jazz world.

[@timbeaton5045]

Re the Song itself... sounds like when you were writing it, the first half, which flows nicely and naturally, led you to the point where you wanted a modulation, but that got away with you and it lost its way somewhat, not helped by probably shoe-horning in that particular lick you mentioned. Always good to come back to stuff one did as one's younger self, to see how one's knowledge and taste has changed over the years! 😃

[@bwoods311]

Hey, I remember you working on this on Twitch stream the other day! This turned out awesome!

[@Rightchickenwing]

2:52 Reading music! It seems like black magic but opens so many opportunities when one learns

[@josiahrainford8982]

Dude, I seriously love your content! Damn! True musician, genuine vibey person! 💯

[@axzilluber]

A small part reminded me of the theme for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" LOL.

[@dismalcreekmusic5314]

Very cool. I liked the direction you took it. As always....life doesn't suck!

[@grs177]

That “Gimme the jazz” part made me do a spit take! Haha

[@andrehofsink4848]

Beautiful.

[@nervrenders]

This 20 year old song never knew who its father was until now... And now its out for revenge!

[@LintBisquick]

that's a crazy piece of music Trey! Kinda no wonder you didnt remember any of it...very abstract. That's Jazz for ya!

[@xenonvinc]

Thats fire

[@TheOriginalEUrban]

Ending on that stutter... epic man!

[@andrewpappas9311]

It does give off anime opening vibes so I won’t deny that but it especially makes me think that I’m out at a fancy restaurant on a date and some nice jazz is playing in the background, definitely dig it even though I’m not that great at jazz myself lol

[@luisgpr1]

B section harmonies remind me of NES games like Bionic Commando (chich I loved).

[@tmsnge]

That new version really reminds me of Cardiacs. Just a lot less chaotic...

[@jenniferlow166]

I felt like I was transported to an artisan coffee house and sipping of a chai latte with the original composition, top tier lounge music 😊 The drum and bass was much more walking to work getting into boss mode vibes 🤌🏻

[@WoffieGlickWAYD]

Sounds like Anime? nah. F-Zero? YES!

[@treyxaviermusic]

NOW you're speaking my language

[@andrewjacksonmusic]

Great video. Always great to watch guitarists try and sight read music. 😂 you did very well.

[@SorooshMhs]

The came out pretty sick!

[@bigkidband5731]

Very cool, Trey!

[@yungvirticus]

That is some gangster jazz morphing and manipulation. Awesome song.

[@AtlasAtPeace]

That was sick! I heard some Orbital vibes in there.

[@JeyGore]

Dude, I've given a lot of my eye-hole and hear-hole time to fuckin' KZbin in the last 10 years. I gotta say you've really done some shit to hit the top of my list in the much less than 10 years I've been consuming your tasty jams, sexy streams and other video vittles. Thanks for the things and stuff. Also, I'd love to do those 50 push-ups, but I am unable to can. So I won't. But I will in spirit. With great honor.

[@treyxaviermusic]

Thanks, I appreciate that! I can't do 50 either haha

[@russellzauner]

I played it backwards and the lick ended up being The Lick.

[@Rafaelinux]

I believe the triplets still haven't found their home there. Nice video!

[@Rafaelinux]

Also... Stay awesome!

[@Scootch2192]

Yayyyy new Trey vid

[@leonardobucci6801]

Ahora la versión metal !

[@jarrodhroberson]

someone was listening to charlie brown christmas - Skating shortly before they wrote this melody.

[@treyxaviermusic]

I've never heard it before but I just went and listened now and there are some STRIKING similarities haha

[@peeweesermon2231]

Hi Trey, I know that your songwriting course goes on sale occasionally, I was just wondering if any sales were coming up in the near future?

[@treyxaviermusic]

If you complete my Riff to Song Challenge, you might be pleasantly surprised when you get to the end: bit.ly/RTSCHALLENGE

[@TheOriginalEUrban]

Been waiting for this to drop!

[@luiscorreia2285]

Jazz!

[@nickwilson6888]

Someone get Adam Neely on the phone NOW!

[@CommanderReplay]

Also a Berklee guy, strongly agree on the insufferable part. 😄

[@JaFoste_Studio]

Hey Trey, just finished your lyric course. Is there a way to easily apply the lessons in the lyric course to lyrics that I have already written?

[@treyxaviermusic]

Awesome, thanks for taking the course! Well, there's rarely an easy way to do anything in art, but you can totally apply it to what you've already written - if you're willing to be ruthless with it and not precious. If you're too attached to what you've got, then it's better to start with new material. Otherwise, take stock of what you've written, objectively as you can, and replace words with better ones, remove filler and cliches, move things to rhyme better, and find better and more interesting ways to say the same things you're saying. Good luck!

[@Rightchickenwing]

Dude wheres the new In Virtue album?! Please?! 😃😃

[@shellbournian]

sounds like Steven Wilson reimagined the Megaman soundtrack. I mean that in both the best and worst way at the same time.

[@JoshFryer]

Christmas song! Christmas song! 🙋‍♂

[@CelestiC]

What about you challenge yourself and make a full jazz album ? mmm ?

[@treyxaviermusic]

I'm already challenged enough

[@reverendprophet]

If I did one of my songs from 20 years ago it would sound like Primus meets Nine Inch Nails

[@treyxaviermusic]

I mean, I could get on board with that hahaha

[@lianneconroy5289]

Definitely prefer your newer songs

[@jme214]

If we connect we do. This spicy meatball , I am not ok with this lack of reality. Nevermind notes. I am your ultimate drummer while inhave the ultimate singer. We no spring chikens. Trey will never love his chat

[@GuitarAnime]

i really really love the 2024 track, beautiful, must have been a bitch to mix though hahaha awesome

[@treyxaviermusic]

That’s why I leave the mix to the pros hahaha

[@MechaNobi149]

i LIKE THE MAIN LICK MOTIF. tHE REST NO SO MUCH. The fast tempo DNB is kinda naughty. TO many notes. as a famous king once said that was later hung. The main lick though is legit and solid. Over all a polite Coffee House jam. Well done! Earned my FOllow for real:) I think I can learn a few things from you!

[@KINGJADEX]

Haha, sounds like an anime song! (An awesome one)

[@treyxaviermusic]

50

[@KINGJADEX]

@@treyxaviermusic Damn, I can't do push-ups like I used to. lol

[@A.Moortal]

Let's get Adam Neely in here

[@treyxaviermusic]

[@jme214]

Not gonna join you4 madness but this is a reverse ghong my dear

[@SamBrockmann]

The motif, man, the motif! 🤘

[@Blazikenas]

Honestly, I prefer the original one for some weird reason

[@tophertaylor68]

Nintendo Core

[@tophertaylor68]

Super noodling in musical form

Mister Rogers would be proud.

[@treyxaviermusic]

Would you be mine? Could you be mine?

[@treyxaviermusic]

[@Monkeymansdrums]

[@Monkeymansdrums]

[@treyxaviermusic]

at least you'll be an in-shape weeb

[@Frank_Kreepy]

That's one piece with one punch man ... didn't say it 🥴

[@TheOriginalEUrban]
