- I've been making UA-cam videos since the very beginning of UA-cam - my first upload was February 2006, so I thought it would be fun to take a look back at over 14 years of UA-cam content.

Who else needs a full version of this AESTHETIC LICC arrangement???
This is the best licc remix I have ever heard.
Please do make that licc arrangement available on bandcamp, Adam ! I'd gladly pay for that ! Love the mood it's got !
Yes! The bass reminds me of the newer Tron OST with Daft Punk, good vibes and mood as mentioned.
@@blackkanto lol it sounds nothing like Tron OST, it's a typical synthwave arrangement

i'm your 666th upthumber, dude. now this shall come true, for real.
I feel like one of the only people watching this channel who recognizes the source of that intro (it was a segment from an old Canadian kids TV programme).
Hey Adam, I met you after the NAMM 2019 panel you did with Paul Davids and Taylor Gordon. I asked for a picture, and you made the most awkward smile I’ve ever seen anyone do. Also, congrats on 1M.
I've been wearing the same "licc" t-shirt for two weeks straight. It now smells like jazz.
This scared me. I thought this was a “I’m quitting UA-cam” type video for a second so I’m glad it isnt.
Same thing for me.

@@jensmander2244 Bruh, it's not so common in UA-cam comments. All I see is that horrible "nodody:" thing.
so, I'm not a musician. Never had any experience with an instrument or any theory. But since I started watching your videos back in 2016 I've learned a lot through you, discovered an interest i didn't knew i had, studied some theory and have since started learning to play keyboard and to compose a bit too. And it's all thanks to you. Thank you for everything. I'm proud to be one of these 1 Million. To the next 14 years of youtube!
I was there watching you play Maple Leaf Rag back at the start of it all! Congratulations on hitting the 1 million subs Adam. Been so cool to watch the channel grow over these past few years. All the best man. You deserve it.
I wonder why he didn't talk about the "How to not suck at music" series. I actually loved those videos.
I think he's mentioned before that he's sort of embarrassed by that series.
@@musikman43204 Still, it was part of his history. He also said that he regretted deleting some very early videos. That is basically why I ask
@@musikman43204 Would you recall why he feels embarassed by them? I remember them as being well thought out
@@Genkidayama I think maybe it was addressed in an IG Live. Just because he's taking the submissions of his fan base & picking it apart & critiquing their ability. I never watched one that seemed overly mean or critical, but, I think the name of the series doesn't really fit the content of the video. Neely would helpful hints or ideas on how to improve. I believe " how not to suck @ music " was intended to be sort of " click baity " & to get viewers to watch out of outrage with the series name itself. 💯
@@musikman43204 Makes sense, thanks!
...I'd been saying "music educator", but you're right - "music communicator" is a really apt way to describe what you do.
Now THIS is how you show gratitude to your audience, a proper celebration of a huge milestone. Congrats and thank you for helping me re-ignite my passion for music, which at some point i thought i had lost in a way. Cheers to another mill subs and to another 14 years! 1 2 b3 4 2 b7 1

You should make a comeback man
12:08 for everybody wondering what it says under "techné":
it says "totally not the right pronunciation" :D
He's not wrong
Congrats on 1M wow. This video is one of those, "I know but didn't know I know" kind of information that you put together so nicely. Stay safe, wash your hands, and don't touch your face.
Thanks man.
This video must have cost a fortune if he just left all of these cameras around the city
I'm so happy
@@BrunoNeureiter Are you really? Do you want to talk?
"Demystify music" ~ I think these gig blogs also help illustrate the professionalism that goes into a gig. Perhaps it helps people appreciate that doing that isn't just showing up with an instrument.
Masterpiece of a video, Adam. It's kind of the unspoken part of this summary: how your video editing skills have grown along with your channel. Let's hope you stick to this for a long time.

Adam Neely: delivers a heartfelt, intriguing deep dive into not only his own 14 years of content creation on UA-cam, but an overall reflection on UA-cam content creation, societal forces that influence it, and what it means to be a music communicator as a whole to celebrate 1 million subs.
Davie504: PEEPEE REVEAL AT 6.9MILLION SUBS
We come for the Davie504, we stay for the Neely.
I freaking love Davie. They're like the chaotic bass Brothers
100% read that in his voice. SLAP like
Davies formula is getting stale though. Oh Em Gee!
@@Segagens I don't think the formulae is something to take seriously in all honesty.
When Adam called himself a “music communicator,” I felt that.
I remember 2-3 years ago I was forced to play boring piano stuff and I ended up hating it for a while.
About a year ago, I got into jazz and got into piano again. I started to look on youtube for piano tutorials and synthesia videos for how to play songs. Once I realized that I needed to learn actual sheet music, I got a real book for my birthday and let myself go free.
It was awesome getting to play songs I liked through the real book, but I eventually started to get bored of my style of playing that only consisted of playing chords in 1st inversion all day, but that’s how we all start isn’t it?
I came across Adam’s channel 9 months ago, and that’s when my improvement really started going. His videos sparked my interest in music theory and all the different aspects of music. I’m more serious about learning music now and i’m having even more fun with it than I did before. Thank you for getting me and a million others into music, you’re videos are awesome!
Also, I now have the lick stuck in my head 24/7 at 7/11, which officially makes you a jazz meme communicator as well. Thanks for that.
I used to walk across Pulaski Bridge every day. Seeing you set up there at the beginning brought the big feels. Stay safe and healthy.
Yes I remember you very well
Well, at least we learnt how to play the lick
I just found out the lick is also in a deep purple guitar solo... WEIRD
12:08 I love that under "techne" it says "totally not the right pronunciation" in phonetic letters lol
Thank u it was confusing me
lol thanks! I missed that
Omg just realised 😂
Oh, how I've missed his visual easter eggs.
Funny thing is, as someone who studies ancient Greek, it was surprisingly accurate!
I'm not a musician at all, and I can confirm that the "How and why classical musicians feel rhythm differently" video was the first of yours I saw. I haven't missed many since.
I feel like I just had a bro moment with someone I have never met...
BRING BACK THE INTRO!!!!!!!!! It’s the best part of the lessons
Seconded. That intro instantly caught my attention when I first stumbled across your videos.

So, I'm not a musician in any way. I know about 4 simple songs on the piano and Smoke on the Water on the guitar, but I still love to watch your videos. They're not only educative, but they're also entertaining. They're also great for background audio. I saw a comment on one of your videos calling you the "Vsauce of music" on UA-cam, and I completely agree with that. Keep up the fantastic work.
His hair was the real journey. The music was just the addon.

@@bt3743 Greetings friend, I'm a guitarist who has a lot of knowledge of music theory.
8 years ago i stopped going to music theory classes in my conservatory because i deeply hated music theory and the way those teachers approached it. Now, 8 years later i am so motivated and thrilled to learn music theory again because of you and your amazing videos. THANK YOU!!!
Even the frogposters are inspired. wow
@@bansku1137 haha
Man, 14 years is really kind of a small lifetime.
This is really a reflection not only on your career here on UA-cam but the evolution of the platform itself in general.
I remember starting to watch your videos around 2017 and up to now I've been enjoying each and every video you've put up, and I've been growing more and more into liking theory, jazz and music in general. So keep it up just like this
Respect. you're putting in the work for 14 years while so many other youtubers complain about not reaching success overnight.
First the Library of Alexandria, and now Adam's back catalogue. History is a cruel elusive mistress! :p
And that's why it is so important for people to learn about. The more who learn, the less is lost.
"When I first started posting, George Bush was president, and now a million people are subscribed to this channel." thank you bush
do NOT mention bush around my mom (shes a 911 conspiracy theorist, dumb)
As a German, i thought who was chancellor back then. It was Merkel. And she still is. Hmmmmm
@@Crazyclay78YT she is correct
@@tfwnoyandere I wouldn't care if she kept it to herself but she tries to shove it down me and my dads throats saying we're wrong
Why tf is it on the left
That Myspace thing makes me a bit sad. In this age we have every means of keeping and maintaining history no matter how small or big, but stuff like that happens.
It reminds of Silent Hill 2. A masterpiece of a game where only fragments of the unfinished product exist and the remaster severely suffered.
It's incredible how we simultaneously have access to information that would have been considered lost 20 years ago and have basically no archives of the past 10.
If you ever choose to quit UA-cam I would respect it, but man oh man would that day be a sad one. It is not everyday you get to discover such a good-hearted person such as you and everytime I get to watch one of your videos, even if I do not understand a single second of it, it becomes a better day than it was before. Thank you for letting us take part of you and hats of to your dedication to not only the channel, but to us the viewers.
Better title:
"Watch Adam turn more and more into a snack during 14 years"
Truth
RIGHT?!
😁
I am waiting for jazz and cooking colab.
I know several channel that does insanely spicy food. Now..i want that in musical form...
on god
That Canon Rock was a deep cut, I didn't need to be called out like this
This is one of my favorite channels on all of UA-cam
"So how the F&#K did THAT happen?!" You're a damn genius, create incredibly engaging and thought-provoking videos, and I could keep going. Keep up the great work! Here's to the next 14!!
You've sparked interest for jazz and music theory in a lot of people, possibly inspired a lot of future musicians. You should be very proud, and keep making great content

Me: *trying to guess where is adam coming from*
Adam Neely: "NO LICK THAT TIME"
Me: DAMN YOU
I read this comment and 10 seconds later in the video he said it.
i need a recording of that sweet 80s style "the lick" lmao
Yes, bring back the "Bass!" music intro!
He’s the Bill Nye of music... that actually makes a lot of sense.
PLEASE BRING BACK THE "ADAM NEELY'S BASS LESSONS" INTRO!!!
OH MY GOODNESS. The mention of MX TABS just took me WAY BACK - to think we may have crossed paths many, many years ago....
You are absolutely right, that Adam Neely Bass Lessons intro is the hot fire that we all need brought back.
The fact that you're at one million now is a huge milestone, congratulations and I'm really happy for you. 14 years on UA-cam is a long time, your content has also improved tremendously.
And it was good already before improving so much
Didnt know you were into music too
I didn't know you watched Adam. But then again I'm not surprised
Do you watch every channel on UA-cam ?
I see you everywere
I'm just so grateful that you corrected the whole hair situation.
Congratulations on your 14-year overnight success, Adam! It has been a joy to be along for the ride, as a content consumer and Patreon contributor.
oh my god............ this channel is almost as old as me
well thats insane, but puttin that aside we love you adam heres to the next million subscribers
I have like 4 of your “the lick” t shirts so that i never have an excuse to not be a walking jazz meme.
"So I feel like the role of music communication in the world around us is to get people excited about music. So that people might want to grow up and be musicians..."
Well Adam, thanks to your videos rekindling my love of music after burnout. Last year I decided the thing I wanted to do with my life was music. I first failed my jazz audition, as I really had no idea on jazz, but I worked my ass off the last 6 months and just got in on my second/last audition attempt. You will never know the impact you have on young musicians like myself.
Thanks for the videos and congratulations on 1 million subscribers Adam.
That's awesome
@@maxsilbert Thanks man
The fact that he's still doing all of the video editing by himself is like, beyond amazing. Most channels who pass, or get close to a mill. subs would've at least have hired a video editor to help out.
Though, I do think it brings a certain consistency to the channel. Every video editor is going to work in slightly different ways.
It's actually fun, how a lot of channels who do employ video editors will tell who edited the video in the video, I guess as a way to explain the slight inconsistency, and also to just pull back the curtain a little.
Aaaaw it was so surprisingly nice to see you expressing emotions
And yes, you do express them about music, but here it seemed like a personal thing.
And actually you DO inspire. I remember myself watching your videos through the whole night while having insomnia. Now I’m going to the musical college (even I’m “old” to do that). And I think that it happened not without your help. So thank you, Adam, for making the world of music less scary and much more exiting.
And also thanks for sharing that you have tinnitus, helps me to make peace with my own
Where does he mention his tinnitus?
The thing I hate about Adam's Channel
is that it doesn't have enough subs
Duchi amen brother
its got enough doms tho
Yeah we need more subwoofers for more bass
"mildly self-indulgent"
*plays the lick three times in the intro*
When I was little I used to record my songs onto cassette tapes and my Dad was always reminding me to keep the tapes safe and how important these recordings would be to me in the future. I remember being totally unfussed (typical child) but now I'm sooo glad I listened to him and kept my old tape collection :)
I've been following everyone of your videos for, at least, 7 years now. I even didn't know that, 13 years ago, I saw the Maple Leaf Rag video in which I commented about the tuning. This is fuckn crazy, you started this channel 1 year before I decided to study music.
Congratulations, Adam, you made something really great here. If the world allows it and the whole communication system does not collapse, or the Covid-19 doesn't mutate into a zombie virus, I hope we can have 14 years more of your content :)
I got one thing to say :
Doo-dee-doo-dee

it’s completely unlikely that you’ll ever see this, but the aberdeen gig vlog (as well as your excitement about music in general) is one of the biggest reasons i got into pursuing music as a career. it made me think “is this what music performance can be? that’s what i want.” thanks for that.
2:19 that harmony with the train was actually quite spicy!
Your combination of humor and expertise really makes your channel one of a kind, I'm so happy for you Adam. :)
I recently wrote my undergraduate dissertation on 'High' music theory - Mostly Jacob Collier's Djesse Vol1 & 2, and in order to discuss most of it with any context, I had to write about youtube music theorists such as yourself! I think it's mad that the wider world of musicology doesn't really seem to care about the huge wealth of knowledge that is available on this platform! You taught me the introduction to Xenharmonic writing man! You got me 90% on my paper! Much Love! Don't stop!
Can you share your dissertation? :)
@@AnitaMay currently working with my university to try and publish it right now, got some edits to do and some more research. Fingers crossed for mid September 🤞
@@edwardwalshie5350 So glad to hear that, congrats on your 90%! I'd love to read it as well, if you're eventually gonna be able to publish it. In part because I, too, have to write a dissertation starting sometime end of this year, and I'm thinking of writing about some part of acedemic music culture on UA-cam. I'd love to be able to cite you :)

@@noashore2312 Ur englesh is much more good than peoples english whose not gooder than as your english is on here. Especially than most writed things on youtube.
I dreaded the simplest pieces of theory in music class in high school, but it's like everything else that you can learn. Once you start to understand it and find your way in, the want and even the need to expand on it and go further reveals itself and it becomes a lot of fun. You could've chased teenage me with notes and chords, yet here I am a decade later starting to get into modes.
This channel is partly the reason why I picked up an instrument at age 27 and it's the first thing in my life that I haven't given up on, just because it was hard sometimes.
So I guess, mission accomplished.
love your videos, thanks a lot

June 2006 here. I’m sorry to have missed you until now. I came to my senses and smashed that sub button.
I greatly enjoy that Adam has been recording all his recent videos walking around my neighborhood. I walk that bridge everyday to go to work and I can only imagine how cringe it would be to catch him recording himself playing the lick
I think "Music Communicator" is an apt title. Like, I got into this whole mess from Tom Scott having 12tone guest on his channel, then there was something that got linked between you two, and now I'm here as a (generally) non musician. I find this all fascinating and love watching the videos because they talk about ideas and concepts that I haven't really seen or messed with, probably heard, but never really understood. (I still don't but I'm getting there)
I love watching your stuff, and it's breaking me out of my comfort zone in all the best ways.
I sort of want to do a channel idea like this for technical theatre, there's a lot of stuff that gets glossed over or half mentioned and it's super fascinating stuff too. I haven't seen anything like that (maybe bits and pieces, like the Hamilton videos Adam Savage did) but nothing quite like the same... Ideas and planning and what it's like to gig thing like this.
Keep on making awesome stuff Adam and I'll keep on watching it.
WHAT!? THERE'S A TOM SCOTT VIDEO WITH 12TONE! I NEED TO SEE THIS.
