Writing an INDIE ROCK SONG like SONIC YOUTH!

[@aNgElandPaRaMoReRoX]

Sounds like the silversun pick ups more lol

[@bananalabs]

Haha Good ear! It’s that octave/interval with that open low E string.

[@clemensmaguire2953]

My heart jumps when another Willie show is online. So inspirational. Thanks so much.

[@bananalabs]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you!❤️💪🏻

[@braydenwickeymusic]

Dang, this is crazy! Love the video and how it breaks down the production of each instrument. I'd love to see you make a song like Twenty One Pilots!

[@bananalabs]

Thanks, Brayden! A Twenty One Pilots video is on the list. Stay posted!

[@positive.juice.apartment]

sounds like silversun pickups lol. great vid

[@bananalabs]

Haha thanks, Moonrat!☺️

[@brodiedaniels9234]

intro reminds me of lazy eye by the silver sun pickups

[@bananalabs]

I thought the same afterwards haha. It’s that E interval that’s doin’ that. 😅 Nice catch!

[@brodiedaniels9234]

@@bananalabs Yeah its that droaning low E. I've written a few songs with that are similar. Very indie haha.

[@rooinns]

Wow the finished song was actually beautiful

[@bananalabs]

Thank you!!!

[@Robokiller80]

Sounds more like Silversun Pickups actually. Nice job!

[@bananalabs]

I was waiting for someone to mention that! Haha, I thought I was the only one for a sec. Great ear! 💪🏻

[@oliverbroadgate3000]

could you do duster?? i love them and your videos!!

[@bananalabs]

I’ve been meaning to do one of those! Stay posted!😄

[@williamspires8820]

Great stuff!! Could you do Pixies?

[@bananalabs]

Thank you!!! I’ll consider doing a Pixies style song. Stay posted!

[@JTPlayingTunes]

Could you do one about Loathe? Or maybe even Modern Color? I think those would be sick

[@tomorrowsghost]

Another great one! Excellent work. No small task taking on a band like SY. 🔥🔥🔥

[@bananalabs]

Thank you so much for your continued support!❤️💪🏻

[@theredoneParody]

Wooooow! Really Awesome!!! Thank you so much for this brilliant work! Really cooooool!🔥

[@bananalabs]

Absolutely! Thanks for your request! 🙏🏻💪🏻

[@tomgrimes2674]

Amazing work on this one man! Your videos are continually of huge value! If you were to find the time, I'd love to see the writing and production/mixing of a song inspired by the Australian band Spacey Jane. Perhaps along the lines of the track 'Skin' or if your prefer, their tracks 'Good For You', 'Cold Feet' or 'Feels Better' could make for good interesting inspiration too. They're one of Australia's biggest up and coming bands in the Indie Rock world at the moment. Cheers :)

[@bananalabs]

Thank you so much!!! Thanks for the request! I’ll check out those tracks and consider doing one💪🏻

[@rustykid2298]

Do Dinosaur Jr or Silversun Pickups plz🖤

[@bananalabs]

Great bands! I’ll consider. Thanks for the request!

[@mephisto7188]

This is amazing, great tones man

[@bananalabs]

Thank you!

[@christian84093]

sonic youth actually uses a D# D# A# D# G G tuning for this song hahahah (an open d# tuning)

[@bananalabs]

Good to know!

[@kevingarcia5704]

Sounds like Lazy Eye lol

[@bananalabs]

Finally someone noticed! Lol

[@aarondeaver9358]

Please give the band sweet trip a go I'd love to see how you'd do them. Their song chocolate matter is one of the best songs I've ever heard

[@aarondeaver9358]

Also your vids are so helpful

[@bananalabs]

Thank you! I’ll check out that artist and track and put it on my list.💪🏻

[@Soap_yukii]

can you do a video on how to make a song like the band vacation??

[@Reprodestruxion]

Guess you got to do Soda Stereo for THAT segment of the audience

[@SOMETIMENOISES]

Could you do Ovlov? I would love that!!!

[@bananalabs]

I’ll check them out! Thanks for your suggestion!

[@de-freitas-matt]

Could you do nothing nowhere? Sort of indie Emo music, very authentic!

[@bananalabs]

I’ll look into that. Stay posted and thank you for the suggestion!

[@jasonk125]

Smokin'

[@bananalabs]

Thanks, Jason!💪🏻

[@ryfkiherdi]

Sick video! What tiny drumset are you using. It looks small but sounds sick.

[@bananalabs]

Thank you! It’s called the Pocket Kit from Ludwig

[@ryfkiherdi]

Very cool drumset man. Looking into one now!

[@bananalabs]

Super fun to play on!

[@lMarcosCobain]

Let's gooooo

Release this on streaming 😿 I don’t listen to sonic youth but damn this is good. Guess I’ll check em out

[@bananalabs]

Thank you for watching! Pretty soon I’ll be releasing some of these songs from my channel.💪🏻

[@clemensmaguire2953]

Great news. But when is pretty soon? A good way to increase your traffic on YT. Which you deserve.

[@bananalabs]

Within the next month!

can you do the wallows?

[@bananalabs]

Already got them on the list! Stay posted✊🏻

[@sammorgan6991]

You should do The smiths

[@bananalabs]

I’ll put them in the list and consider. Thanks for the request!

[@Reprodestruxion]

Or Johnny Marr solo

[@rodd1000]

I noticed before you said you mix on old wired Apple EarPods, just wondered how you get around the lightning connector? or are they the really old ones that were 3.5mm? Thanks.

[@bananalabs]

Yup. The old ones. Before the lightning connectors were invented 😅💪🏻

[@lunarsam]

Underrated tbh

[@bananalabs]

I appreciate you!

[@kuwa4865]

would you do smashing pumpkins??

[@bananalabs]

Yes! Stay posted

[@AlexKashner]

DO DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, CUTIE

[@bananalabs]

Haha I’ve actually been waiting for someone to request them. Challenge accepted 💪🏻

[@AlexKashner]

@@bananalabs omg ily

[@clemensmaguire2953]

If I can have one request: could you explain more about the harmonic decisions you make and mention a bit more the chords you play. It's hard for me to follow the guitar part as a keyboard player and semi guitarist. And noooooo! Just 13:23. You are not getting shorter are you? I'm could listen at least an hour. More about mixing, panning etc. Please. Take care .

[@Nic-tg2ei]

I liked this song.

[@bananalabs]

Thank you!

How about God Speed you Black Emperor?

[@zynel413]

Jesus that's going to be some challenge lmao... idk if making a sonic youth song is on the same level as a 20 minute song composed by a 13 piece band.

[@Nic-tg2ei]

@@zynel413 Absolutely, but it would be nice to see. Maybe a series - sound collecting, experimentations, collaboration. things like that.

[@MickArtz]

deftones pls!!

[@dhairyabhardwaj1732]

Do you think its okay if we implement some chords or any ideas you use in these videos and kind of experiment with them because i dont like the fact of just seeing another persons video and just doing the same thing lmao . If you get what im saying

[@bananalabs]

Absolutely! Do what you feel! I don’t expect anyone to play the same thing with the same arrangement I play- I mean, I’m sure there are some folks that would do that, but that’s not really my intentions. Just take what you need!😄👍🏻

[@dhairyabhardwaj1732]

@@bananalabs tysm willy (idk how to spell but i hope its correct) also could you try doing a mac demarco type song

Of course! Yeah! I’ve actually been meaning to do one of those. Stay posted!

Do you release the music?

I haven’t in a while, but I have some music on all streaming platforms under the projects Banana Cream and Pure Mids.

This is better than most of their songs imo.
