    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.

    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.

    • @StevenBornfeld

    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".

      @@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.
