He ain’t playing random chords bruh… Most of the changes before the G7-F#maj7-Fmaj were 2-5-1s with Tritone subs… The G7-F#maj7-Fmaj is a common jazz progression to tonicize Fmaj7. It’s a 2-5-1 with a tritone sub as well but a little more nuanced. G7 is the V of V, F#maj7 is the tritone sub of C7 but since it’s maj7 you get the b9,4 and most importantly b7 of the C7, which resolves really well to Fmaj. Edited typos.
@@blow-by-blowtrumpet Yeah exactly dude and not everyone has to get it either. However if you’re gonna make a video on a topic you don’t know much about, why just label stuff you don’t know as random chords and deprive not only yourself of the opportunity to learn something new but also the viewers who may not know what’s going on and will just take your word for it lol. The worst part is we’re gonna have people who don’t understand all this walking around telling people how Jacob Collier doesn’t know stuff and just plays random chords. Obviously it’s not intentional and the guy seems chill but it is what it is I guess.
The way I felt about major and minor since I was a kid was always more like major sounds like it "radiates outward" and minor sounds like it "radiates inward" rather than it having any specific emotion attached to it. I don't know if that even makes sense
Hi! Classical guitar noob here...that piece at 09:24 is that an etude or something? The way I've always "studied" the circle of fifths is playing straight dominant arpeggios along the circle or going with the ii-V-I cadence along the circle 😅
I find the video quite strange. I can't imagine having the audacity to assume I'd have something insightful to teach college level musicians and above. Surely even at college level, there's a chance you'll come across someone that knows a lot. That said, I do like Collier. Good energy and enthusiasm goes a long way. He's really hard to dislike. Nice reaction video idea too. It might get a lot of attention as a portion of his fans are crazy.
@ Beyoncé is highly talented, even if her music isn’t my thing. You picked a massive outlier on purpose though, so it’s whatever. Choose to ignore that every fantastic artist that he’s come across is blown away by him…
@Joshsclips I, too, have been blown away by him, I like him. I also don't happen to think Grammy numbers are very telling, hence my Beyonce comment. He really doesn't have a lot to teach professional musicians, though his enthusiasm and spirit are very inspiring (for many people).
Jacobs youtube channel is actually really pretty good, he does these tutorials and deep dives on his music engineering workflow in ableton where he goes into extreme detail about putting a song together and mixing and layering it's really nerdy.
Collier seems a bit immature with his attitude. It's a bit shallow and technical. Some of his arrangents are kind of gimmicky, out of touch with or unrelated to the song. It reminds me of Roland Barthe's essay about the art of singing, where he talks about the artist obstructing the art.
Honestly I hate jazz. Jazz musicians take a song like amazing grace, and the make substitutions to the chords. Then the play melodies that change keys with the chords and have no resemblance to the original melody of the song. Then they have the audacity to say "im playing amazing grace" and "if you don't like it, you aren't smart enough to understand it".
I’m not sure I’d paint jazz with such a broad brush. If you haven’t already, check out Ted Greene and Julian Lage. Both players that are considered to be roughly in the jazz genre, but their playing is incredibly tasteful and inspired.
@@JaxonBurn I'll be honest, I did paint with too broad of a brush. I haven't heard of the folks you mentioned, so I will have to give them a listen. And honestly I don't hate all jazz, i have just found very little of it that I would actively chose to listen to. Most of the jazz that I've heard is best when used in the background, and not actively listened to. There are some individual jazz songs that I thought were ok, but the genre as a whole just isn't my cup of tea. And to be fair, this may just be my take on it, but frequently jazz musicians and fans act as though it is the end all be all of music, and nothing else exists to them. When I was studying music in college I dealt with a boat load of jazz musicians, even when we were studying other types of music, they acted as though jazz was the only kind of music. And to them, anything less complicated than jazz was garbage, and anyone who liked it was garbage.
Jazz is my harmonic shield and classical my technical sword; with them my hubris increases daily
This
did you just come up with this? I really think it is so fucking funny
Jazz taught me the importance of improvisation and classical taught me the importance of graceful playing that wasn’t swing oriented

And right before saying that he literally plays it and doesn't hear the voice-leading. I guess his ears just aren't used to the sound.

@@Sorhandsno problem man, happy practicing.
This video is rage bait
Since more notes are better from now on I'm going to harmonize every note with all notes.
"We're just kind of hitting random chords and just plopping them around" - plays a ii V I with a tritone sub.
Yup haha. But I think this guy just wants people to comment on his video to correct him.
This is hilarious
I didn't go to school for music, and I have like three brain cells to rub together, and even I didn't learn anything new
I like Mozart's 25th Symphony - I think they used it in the movie Amadeus too. Anyway, great to find a classical guitarist on here :D Thanks YT algo.

I get what you mean, I can hear major as wider and minor as more narrow
"D minor, saddest of all keys"--Nigel Tufnel
never thought like that but it makes a lot of sense
it's entirely about context
for me is like color, minors are blue/green/purple/black/brown and majors are yellow, red, orange, pink etc
Collier adding 9ths, and even 13ths to chords I'm sure blew that college kids mind!!!
😂
When Cameron made the comment about patronizing the college kid, I think the kid's face was like, "don't patronize me, Jackson!"
You left the professional interview out! What do you add to sound professional?? More notes??
Part 2, all your questions will be answered 😎
Bro Bachata is fire 🔥 put some Bachata all the women will flock to this channel
You’re easily my favorite guitarist on UA-cam
You are too kind, I appreciate it😄
Dude that's a bold move he has fanbase like Tyler Swift 😂 I agree with the last two videos very much my man 😂❤❤🎉🎉
That cliffhanger! 😱
Collier has some EXCELLENT shirts. IDK if he sells merch. The prodigy I really can't fathom is Kit Armstrong--he's nuclear.
im certain they're mostly thrift store hauls lol

A lil Bach for ya, check out some practice logs and you'll hear it pretty often ;)
Check out your uncle, Edson Lopes--he's amazeballs!
First comment again! Giving up on this at 5:00. See ya later
13:31 is sick

Audacity? Bro has 6 grammy's and counting and Quincy Jones said that never in his life had he met someone like Jacob, in the best possible way.
@@JoshsclipsYou drank the Koolaid
@@Joshsclips Beyonce has 32 Grammys. Have you really stopped to consider what those awards really mean?

I'm not so much into Mozart symphonys but the coda to his 41st is a miracle...a five part invertable countrapuntal masterpiece.
He's over-playing, which I guess is just to illustrate the concept.
I prefer this version of the video:
/watch?v=vYXX8Zs5EYc
Maybe we can just solve this whole music thing already, just play all 12 notes at once for the nicest possible harmony.
The most interesting harmony 😂
@ the MOST harmony
The more notes the better!
*dies of cringe*
jacob music is terrible
Thank you for demolishing this guy
You are embarrassing yourself by pompously acting like you understand harmony when you clearly don't
That Tyler Swift fanbase I was talking about. That's this one right here 😂😂😂
@@val_de_mez I'm not even a big fan of Jacob Collier, just felt like pointing something out that irritated me
Welcome to the musical jealousy channel😂
😬

If it's obscure enough they might buy it--so as not to look ignorant. In fairness, I probably had a more immature attitude when I was his age.
great comment
perhaps you're taking things too seriously and you envy his childlike sense of joy

I think that's only Lennie Tristano. Or, if we're honest, Milton Babbitt.
I say the opposite.
If someone doesn't understand my incoherent cover of a song, then they simply aren't dumb enough.
