He always seems to be able to produce a "hey c'mon kids" energy when he sings in concert. It's so fun to watch and you feel like he's really talking to you through his music

[@RoyKaarla]

can you elaborate on "hey c'mon kids" energy?

[@jamesbrixey8102]

How is he *such* a good guitarist on top of everything else

[@ATLTraveler]

whats hes doing is really easy. Not taking away from his talent but just being honest.

[@Nedwin]

His musical sense can be transferred to any instrument.

Jacob Collier plays so many instruments with such mastery that you'd think each one was his main instrument

[@thelouisjohnson]

1:55 such a wonderfully clever choice of note. I'm in awe.

[@StuartQuinn]

I thought you were going for 1:33 with the unusual note choice.

[@thelouisjohnson]

@@StuartQuinn Haha that one is unusual, didn't find it as hauntingly effective though!

[@henkdevries2002]

@@thelouisjohnson Yes he talked about that note in his livestream with Charlie Puth, they were talking about the minor iv chord, and that playing the 4th scale degree over that chord was underrated and no one ever plays it. But this part is my favorite part of the song, its also right after the bright II chord, which is a beautiful contrast.

[@1998XBOX]

@@henkdevries2002 he sings the 3rd though

[@henkdevries2002]

@@1998XBOX I was talking about the first note on the word 'now' at around 1:55 where he sings ''I hold you dearly now''.

[@ballislife6643]

@@EnzanHibiki yeah trash opinion

[@mrpolaroid123]

A multi-instrumentalist, with a distinctive/instantly recognisable style. An exerciser in musical flamboyance and pretty chords, one that appeals on a mainstream level, while presenting itself as something slightly cleverer and 'a cut above'. And yet, the music has nothing to beyond the surface level of where we find it. It merely just, exists.

Love this man! Sounds cliche but he really is a piece of sunshine. a musical genius with a pure heart and soul!

[@robertfox4114]

Cliche is not always bad! On one side there is cliche like Nickelback and on the other side there is cliche like Devin Townsend - Life (live in Plovdiv)

[@nathanjordon6950]

@@robertfox4114 I think they meant that what they were going to say was cliche. Not that he was cliche.

[@GizzyDillespee]

This song does kinda borrow from the Starry Starry Night (Don McLean) cliché. Even tho the commenter obviously mean that their own sentiment was cliché, the song itself references a sort of cliché way to express this sentiment. Perhaps "a widely if subliminally understood shorthand that can help musically support his communication of a feeling" would be a better way for me to put it than "cliché". That word can have some negative "mailing it in" connotations, and I didn't mean it that way. I meant in in the sense of the phrase I put in quotes. You could also call it "musical subtext". This is meant as a compliment. It's a skill, not a defect.

[@unholylemonpledge9730]

Good technique but no soul

[@aguilarrojasoctavio4402]

[@JohnLeidegren]

Jacob is unreal. It's like he's been genetically bred and trained from day one to be this amazing musician. On top of this he seems to be this incredibly happy and pleasant person. It's just too much.

[@mikeg3439]

I've never been one for hyperbole, but I'd nearly say Jacob is some sort of Angel of Music on earth. I've been playing all my life, I've enjoyed music all my life. Jacob is up there with a very rare few, but the wildest part is he is the one who makes me feel emotions when I listen, and I'm a hard, cold, scarred person when it comes to that.

[@lins_paula]

Just met him. What a nice surprise.

[@tylermccaw8092]

How can one man make you feel so unintentionally incompetent yet blessed at the same time?

I'd lie if I'd say I did not have a crush on every single musical perfomance of him

I've listened to this song 100 times, but every rendetion he does is just as amazing the first. Can't wait for him to visit my city!

[@onenothingless]

Wonderful!!! I am surprised to hear how much his guitar playing has improved, his voice also is becoming more mature and pleasant

[@WhoctorDo]

His guitar runs are fantastic.

[@moadharfa500]

I do not really think it improved, I think he just invested more than 2 min on the guitar... he does play 20+ instruments afterall ......

@@davidbrucemusicvideo maybe it's a banjo inspired tuning but idk

@@davidbrucemusicvideo Taylor made this guitar only for him, it’s the only one existing atm. However I have no idea about the tuning he’s using sorry !

[@jodajoda2863]

@@florianbeguin it's not a custom guitar he just took out the tuning peg

[@DSteinman]

This is the custom 5 string guitar Jacob had Taylor make for him, optimized for the funny tuning he likes to use. He always has played down his guitar playing, but really he approaches it very unconventionally to suit his taste. There are guitarists who can do more with their instrument than he can, but he's certainly very effective with what he's going for!

[@locolocomal]

It's probably one of my favourites Jacob's songs

[@jedd1995]

So much beauty Jacob.

[@Bozomine]

I experience Jacob's music as pop/rnb music with added complexity. There are familiar sounds and melodies but he finds ways to translate far more complex ideas and thoughts through plaing modified notes and expressing a doubt with a change in sung lyrics. I like it.

[@JasonToutat]

Just jamming at stage with a smile at his face 🖤

[@nathanyein9968]

that "of you" has made this my favorite rendition of the song. the timing was perfect. it was so sweet, so understated, so humble.

[@emorycarroll]

Jacob, you are a huge inspiration to me! This composition is so beautiful! How did you get that guitar to sound like a harpejji? Is it really light gauge strings + tapping?

[@HermelThePolyglot]

I think it boils down to the piezo pickup + playing very close to the neck + lots of legato

[@davidbrucemusicvideo]

Also, he’s using a capo, which is why the strings sound different.
