[YTP] Jacob Collier Explains Harmony On 5 Different Levels

[@jacobcollier]

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE VIDEO ON THE INTERNET

[@Ken-fx8rb]

Bless

[@benjaminrosenbohm8910]

Jacob Collier Only a handful of people can say they feel “happy” at 0:36, and you’re probably one of them 😅

[@kyokusei]

did not expect to see you here

[@Rafa-mv4nn]

I concur very loudly mr. Collier

[@Orzakelol]

Thanks for the story

[@AndyChamberlainMusic]

My sides literally hurt, when the girl said "happy" I just lost it

[@ShirubaGin]

It's Avant-garde you don't understand it

YES KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[@anikumkum]

This is easily god tier. The guitar fuzz section had me dead.

[@MiloItz]

when the fuzz sounded i had to stop the video because i couldn't stop laughing

[@fl4135]

Lovely amp

[@Tunkkis]

Fuzz is an effect, the noise in the video is called hum or buzz, depending on the source.

[@jordanmiles106]

Tunkkis you are just sucking the fun out

[@anikumkum]

@@Tunkkis oh dear sir I really apologise for my lack of knowledge and education. In my 19 years alive this is the first time ever that I've felt so speechless and so at loss with words. Thank you for your kindness in helping me realise my mistake and I hope you bless me with a long life ahead. Namaste

[@TheUKNutter]

“This is C major” *(PLAYS A Gm7b5 with C on the bass)*

[@dynamo5326]

"Sounds dark and spooky" - C major

[@Tulanir1]

Gm7b5/C (equivalent to C11b9) is actually an incredibly beatiful dominant chord pulling to F major. it's basically a minor plagal cadence with V in the bass, and some extensions. So that's definitely not what he played

[@dynamo5326]

@@Tulanir1 he was joking

[@TheUKNutter]

Tulanir1 This is actually the chord that he was playing!

[@asukalangleysoryu6695]

@@TheUKNutter Pretty sure it's just G C Db F. I definetely don't hear a Bb in there, and it's got G in the bass, not C. That would make it a C phrygian suspended kinda sound. Or a Dbmaj7b5/G.

[@metashrew]

That glorious 240p quality. This entire video is gold by the way.

[@eye_producer]

144p increases comedic aspect by 9000

[@k-Gonzo]

watching YTP in a higher resolution is heresy

thats amazing

@@r.figueroa I know

[@tokenofdevotion]

That part fucked me up lmao

[@ryanwisser2480]

My favorite part of the original is when he asks the college student if he knows what the circle of fifths is

[@questionsayer]

But... What is the Circle of fifths?

[@ShoH]

@@questionsayer The circle of fifths is a chart of the smoothest progession of key changes possible, essentially. Go up a 5th from your current key - or down a fourth (not quite half an octave either way) - and you can get an almost invisible key change. Jazz does this thing where it rapidly goes from one key to another, using the keys along the way on the circle of fifths as stepping stones. Of course, you can always not use the circle for other fun effects. But it's a neat compositional tool

[@ShoH]

@vh4m v: I know this probably wasn't directed at me but thank you for the reminder!

[@Trumpophone7]

vh4m v: Yes before teaching someone how to do calculus u must teach them how to breathe so they don’t pass out while doing problems

@@Trumpophone7 No, but before teaching someone calculus you must confirm that they know algebra
