Feels like the resolve of a feel-good family holiday flick! Always great watching these - learning lots!

[@TrevBarnes]

Thank you!

[@GG-zt1nt]

i feel like making jazz is the equivalent of abstract painting, its just so relaxing and theres no wrong way to do it

[@TrevBarnes]

That’s a great way to put it

[@morgan4948]

Hi from France, this a really relaxing video and I had a good time watching it.

[@TrevBarnes]

Hello! I’ll be visiting the French countryside next year, very excited for that. Thank you for the kind words!

[@starlorday]

hey man, just wanna let you know that i’m loving this series. please keep going!

[@TrevBarnes]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much

[@bloodknightbob]

Lovely!

[@TrevBarnes]

Thanks!

[@GG-zt1nt]

this is the kinda stuff you‘d usually have to pay for! youre a life saver for making these, thank you so much

[@TrevBarnes]

Thank YOU for watching

[@GG-zt1nt]

i loveee how your switching up the styles! could you maybe do like a 60s - 70s kinda rock (beatles a queen ish)?

[@TrevBarnes]

Sure thing!

[@unclep_tty]

man, it's cool! harmony not to complicated, and yet it is interesting! my only advice is: guitar bends are not for jazz, as i think. you dont hear em when you listening Pat Metheny or Joe Pass. but hey, that's my opinion. keep doing it, these are good

[@TrevBarnes]

I think my muscle memory of my traditional soloing overpowered the thought of not bending haha. It’s definitely something I should play more, it only makes me a better player. Thanks for watching!

[@tomasnovotny4108]

I think Django did bend a lot tho

[@Thomsworth]

You have such a relaxed and comforting style, makes this video so easy to follow and understand. One of my favourite things to make to relax is a soundtrack to some (imaginary) videogame, because you can shape it however you feel is good. May be an idea for a new video?

[@TrevBarnes]

Absolutely. I love creating scores inspired by film and games so I can 100% make a video on this. I have another video that sort of dives into this, but would love to do something more catered to atmospheric sci-fi. Here is that “cinematic orchestra” video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqmTe4qbq7iSeNk

[@VVV-bu5if]

Hey Trev, could you create a video discussing the various stages of music production and providing guidance on progressing from a novice to a skilled producer, along with the necessary steps to achieve this?"

[@TrevBarnes]

Yes, absolutely

[@Pawel1211]

Would be interesting to see you have a go at making a heavy rock track

[@TrevBarnes]

Absolutely

[@benkeister1697]

Time for a funk track

[@TrevBarnes]

Yes yes yes yes

[@clazz2867]

Maybe you could make a bossanova type/feel song?

[@TrevBarnes]

Sure thing!

[@tomasnovotny4108]

Just a question - you said you dont know much of a music theory but how do you play all those jazz chords on piano?

[@TrevBarnes]

By trial and error and if it sounds right to me. I think I feel theory more than I understand it, it’s strange. I will just find chords that sound like what I hear in my head.

[@Fons1765]

Do you play Ukulele? a boywithuke type of song could be cool

[@TrevBarnes]

I sure do, would love to try something like that
