So, today we learned, not only is Ibo not tone deaf. He's actually very tone sensitive. He's just untrained.

Now 2Set is going to have to find an actual tone deaf friend to do more fun videos with.
I think those challenges are more about memorization than tonality. Also, you can have perfect pitch and an imperfect instrument (his voice).
@@greencloud9092 or a series where they train him
Ibo did better than me and I thought I was "tone average" LOL
I really don't think Ibo is tone deaf. I think he just doesn't know how to sing, meaning, the sound he makes doesn't match the sound he thinks he's making. Which means, next episode should be, does Ibo know how to sing! 😆😆😆 love you Ibo!
He isn't, the biggest give away is that he isn't monotone in his speech patterns, if he was truly tone deaf, he'd be monotone.
Yes, I can't sing but I'm definitely not tone deaf
I agree. I can't sing to save my life. I just can't control my vocal chords that way. But I can hear pitches just fine (which makes me cringe every time I try to sing). I don't know if voice training would help, but I'm happy playing my instruments.
GET ZACH FOR IBO!
Not only that, he has shown before he has a pretty good ear for rhythm as well.
Ibo is actually more talented than the average person with no musical training. He'll do really well given the training. Kudos to Ibo! You're a good sport!
I think that Ibo has very good general intelligence and can be developed to do very good things - maybe never had a good opportunity or environment to do so :)
ibo is more tone sensitive than i am i failed most of them and ive been playing piano since i was five :') guess i need to practice more
@@feveria I don't know what he does for a living but I'm sure he's successful at what he's pursued. It just hasn't been music.
id say hes about average
@@mypoorbraincells how do you do that lol.
no way.
"I never thought I was tone deaf. You guys are the ones who made that up" IM DYING LMAOOOOO. I love this friendship so much! I hope to see Ibo more with TwoSetViolin in the future because it's always fun to watch the three of them together.
FACINATING!
Yes man, im still laughing xD
6:28
Eddy/Brett: you're probably not tone deaf, you just haven't trained
Ibo: I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS TONE DEAF YOU GUYS MADE THAT UP IN YOUR HEAD
Brett: that's ✨fascinating✨
🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying laughing!!

This moment was hilarious! True friendship here!
This was the funniest part! 🤣🤣🤣
I laughed way too loudly at 6 in the morning.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love seeing Eddy and Brett's reactions when they find out this guy isn't actually tone deaf
Yeah, actual Tone Deafness, Amusia, is rare, most likely if you can recognize and remember people's voices, you aren't tone deaf.
Yeah like me he's not (completely) tone deaf but can't reproduce notes reliably. I can hear when someone is off key (if it's bad enough) but can't tell what's wrong with it. There's l-o-o-o-o-t-s of us out there I discovered (just go to any karaoke event...)
He just cant sing the notes in his head
Like me 8)
@@christopherbedford9897 : A neighbor of mine was telling me just the other night that he was tone deaf. And wouldn't you know it, I had a guitar in hand, so just played a Major third and asked witch one was lower in pitch and he could tell easily. That doesn't mean his ear is "good," but he can hear the difference, so he is obviously not deaf to it. It's just practice and perseverance to develop the skill further.
Then him saying he never called himself tone deaf and that that was them
I legit think "Two Set Academy" would be really fun to watch
Like a series of episodes where they teach Ibo or another friend the basics of Music or how to play at a beginner level
They can even invite a musician friend to collab and give tips on how to buy your first instrument or techniques to practice.
For those like me that aren't musicians it'd be an oportunity to have fun while learning about Music
Well said! I agree & 💯 %watch!
Yes!!!!! 🤩
I was just thinking Two Set Academy dictionary now has a new word added... HAHA
Sacrilegious
Lamentable
Amazing
Interesting
"Fascinating"
^_^
Seriously, guys, please think about an occasional TwoSet Academy episode where you touch on stuff like this to teach musical concepts and theory in a casual way. My theory sucks despite singing and playing for years; I run on instinct but I can’t explain *why* stuff is like it is. Most people learn well when it’s edutainment, right? And how could more TwoSet be bad? ❤️
100% agree! I would watch the heck out of TwoSet Academy ♡
i love how when Eddy plays a major chord it zooms in on Eddy, but when it's a minor chord it's on Brett.
Brett is a whole diminished chord man
The most surprising for me was that Ibo didn't know Eddy had perfect pitch.
He says it so much, no one could missed it, you mean? Amen on that!
@@xandraxandra1437 totally! The whole world knows. But maybe Ibo not knowing shows how good of a friend he is to them.
😂😂😂😂
so now we know Ibo doesn't watch their videos
When did he say that?
I think this is one of the chillest twoset vids ever.. Just 3 friends having a fun conversation and forgetting about the camera.. loved it
@Don't Read My Profile Photo k I won't
i gueess
if you enjoyed this, you gotta watch their Hilarry Hann's interview where they just eat dinner(?) together and discuss about serious or fun musical topics, one of my favourite videos because it has the vibe you describe at your comment :)
@@MarsLos10 Yess the fact that its >1 hr is so great too. Tbh if twoset had a podcast it wud be amazing!
Fascinating
When Eddy is playing a major vs minor chord, explaining one sounds happy and sunny and the other sad dark and dramatic and Ibo goes "... The difference between you and you" 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 That was a clever roast LOL

Now the TwoSet vocabulary has widened with a new phrase
the last time i was this early, bach only have 1 kid.
Wait does Bach have kids??
@@-vunhatgiang-1811 he has like 1000
@@emloise Wait what.😧
Last time I was this early I got a phat overtime check

I think the 1 in 20 statistics being tone-deaf is too high. It's more likely that lots of people just aren't used to tonality. I think having any kind of musical background just develops their sense of tonality to a level where non-musicians seem tone-deaf. I have no musical background and I have never really thought about notes or tones until I started watching Twosetviolin.
I agree that stat is wrong. Tone deaf means a person can't identify pitches at all. A tone deaf person can hear rhythm, but but can't distinguish melody and harmony. However, everything is a spectrum. Just because a person can't always identify if a note is flat or sharp doesn't make them tone deaf.
Yeah it's actually like that, I had a keyboard since I was a kid and that developed my tonality (and also my interest in music) such that I got all the answers, meanwhile my friend who got a guitar some time ago can't yet play a melody by ear
Actually, according to Wikipedia, that statistic is true: _"Studies have shown that congenital amusia is a deficit in fine-grained pitch discrimination and that 4% of the population has this disorder."_
But "tone deafness" is not an accurate description, because too many people who actually aren't tone deaf still label themselves as "tone deaf", because they are bad at singing or feel like they have no musical talent.
_"Symptoms of receptive amusia, sometimes referred to as "musical deafness" or "tone deafness", include the inability to recognize familiar melodies, the loss of ability to read musical notation, and the inability to detect wrong or out-of tune notes."_
Basically, if you can recognize the familiar melody someone is playing, and you can hear when they make obvious mistakes, you aren't tone deaf. All in all, if you enjoy music, you probably aren't tone deaf.
I failed this test but I don't feel bad. I always thought the definition of tone deaf was not being able to tell if a song was out of tune. lol
@@MaggaraMarine Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's bassist, lyricist/singer for most of The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, greatest hits) is supposedly tone-deaf. His singing is certainly off/not great, and maybe he's just going by fret positions, but I have a hard time chalking the truth of it up to "tone deaf" - not completely anyway. Just average dude. Meanwhile, you listen to someone like Whitney Houston (not a fan, personally), she's dead-nuts on every note every time without correction - so that's perfect pitch, but also an amazing amount of vocal control.
I've played in (folk instrument) bands as the anchor everyone else tuned off. As the instruments warm up, they sharpen, and people have to be able to pull out a bit, retune, or the collective group goes up from 447 to ~450+ after they're warmed up. The problem is (because of my perfect pitch) I'd lip down and stay at 447, and then >I'd< be the one out of tune-with the collective- even though I was the one they were all supposed to be tuning off of, because they thought tuning was a "set it and forget it" thing. It's really frustrating being in the wrong because you're so right, lol.
Get him to one of those "Learning how to sing in 1 hour" formats!!! I absolutely want to see the next step of Ibo's character arc!
That’s be a great idea! He has so much potential!!
TwoSet knows exactly what we (audience) want to see: Ibo is not at all tone deaf, just not professionally trained...
Alternative title: Classical musician with perfect pitch think his friend is tone deaf, what happens next is SHOCKING!! Inspirational! Fascinating! Touching!
Ibo is such a precious soul!!
And Edward Chen (lol), seeing you flexing your perfect pitch on the piano made me miss the perfect pitch game and also the improvisation game!! 😭😭😭

Eddy is a Major chord
Brett is a Minor chord
basically
I thought that it was the opposite.
@@xandraxandra1437 have you heard their lofis?😂
@@KoiYakultGreenTea Yes, I have, but I think Brett is more cheerful than Eddy who is more analytical in their personalities.
Brett played with the music app and ended up with the lofi. I don't think he thought that it would come out that way.
@@xandraxandra1437 check out old school playing videos and bretts dead face
was Editor-san hinting something? When Eddy played the major chords, she showed Eddy, and vice versa. Tbh, personality-wise, it seems that Brett is more cheerful than Eddy, especially in a social setting. InTeReStRiNgLy, Eddy's compositions (lofi, hans zimmer cinematic composition) are more cheerful, and positive while Brett's are more haunting and chill (to the bones).
"i never though i was tone deaf! you guys made that up in your own heads"
LMAO THEIR REACTIONSA ARE PRICELESS
All my life I thought I was tone deaf because I couldn't sing. I started learning the violin a year ago (thanks two set! ) and have no problem recognizing notes and playing what I hear. I think there is a popular misconception that poor singing =tone deaf and that is not true. If I had known this wasn't true I would have started learning the violin years ago.
Similar story. Except I knew I wasn't tone deaf cos I could hear and recognize my singing was out of tune. But I believed it meant I have zero musical ability = pointless to try to learn to play anything. So I wish just as you I realized that earlier that it's not true.
Yep, a lot of people can't connect their voice to the notes they're hearing very well without training, but it is something that most people can learn to do, which is awesome :D
Think of singing as hand-eye coordination. A lot of people just never developed the connection between hearing the tone and producing that same tone with their voice because that's something that is practiced
I'm the same, well I didn't really think I was tone deaf just really bad cause I sing like a strangled chicken xD I can hear what I'm supposed to sing in my head but I open my mouth and something else comes out and it's not right. I guess that's the definition of "not tone deaf just don't know how to sing"
Tbh it was quite obvious in the previous videos with Ibo, that he just isn't a trained singer/musician and that he doesn't try too hard either. I'm sure he could turn out as a good musician with a good ear if he practices hard. I don't know if I would have scored higher than him before I started to learn the violin and I never considered myself tonedeaf. But I'm glad his musical skills are redeemed after this video 😄
Yeah, he got a lot of melodies almost right and he had the right rhythm every time!
he's very tone sensitive for sure, being able to hear that 2hz difference was something i expected even twoset themselves to maybe struggle with. Musicality, however, I think most people who end up as good mucisians will be a bit more of a natural in musicality than Ibo. Not to be mean of course, but I just think a certain amount of musicality has to be there from the beginning. Some kids you'll see are such a natural in singing and stuff, without the parents making them do it. Idk
@@minephlip Nah, his inability to sing does not make him a bad musician. Instruments are for the "not needing to sing" part in life. And not every great musician is a great singer. Rhythm on the other hand is universal.
@@blauespony1013 There are different aspects of singing. Many great musicians might not have a great voice. A great voice requires training and the physical properties for it. But they can hit notes when singing, because they have an imagination of the pitch they have to produce. And even with very little practice that is enough to sing a melody. It might sound bad, but it'll be correct pitch.
He could of course learn, but most musicians have learned that from an early age.
@@salia2897 I know enough people who can sing as long as they hear the music/accompaniment, but die once they have to sing a capella. Especially when they have heard the piece only twice in their lives. So I don't see your point at all.
Just to eliminate any confusion and to make sure everyone knows- Eddy has perfect pitch
Thank you! I know he doesn't like to talk about it so people might have been confused
@@Casutama he tends to be a bit shy about telling people so I decided to spread the good word instead
lmfao love this thread
I have perfect pitch too. Realized it as soon as I could hear the refrigerator making a noise and say "That's a Bb." just immediately. I think it's part of why I hear a distinct character to every key regardless of temperament. Like if someone were to ask me "What key sounds majestic to you?" I'd say D major. Or if somebody asked me "Which key do you think encompasses the entire spectrum?" I'd say C minor. Or like if somebody asked me "What does G major feel like to you?" I'd say "It feels warm, there's definitely a warmth to it, makes me think of a sunny day." Or if somebody asked me what F minor feels like I'd say "It's very melancholic, like you just can't let go of the melancholy. It's like if you're grieving over somebody's death. You can't just let go of that grief. Same with F minor. Except for Beethoven, Beethoven somehow makes it sound very dramatic, but otherwise, yeah, deathly melancholy."
@@amyosullivan8629 Wait, why? Isn’t being able to hear a pitch in non-musical noise and immediately say what note it is something that only people with perfect pitch can do? And what about those key characters for every single key in equal temperament, I’ve only ever heard of people with perfect pitch having that.
And this is how I learned I was tone deaf..
as a music teacher, i'm inherently opposed to the idea that anyone is tone deaf. there are so many layers to your challenges: recognizing high/low sounds, bigger/smaller intervals, direction of a melody and whether it's going by step or leap - and then being able to remember specific melodic patterns and accurately reproducing them with your voice.
ibo's been doing great! he can generally recognize pitches and he's got a good sense of rhythm. and he's just here for a good time - all of these are foundational building blocks for a strong musician! loved this video and how much fun all of you seemed to have :)
For them, the question is “Are you tone deaf?” For me, the question is “Are you aware that you are tone deaf?”
Honestly, Ibo is quite musically atune! (lol) He can hear note relationships and rhythm- he’s just not been trained. It’s hard for him to reproduce the sounds with his voice (match pitch) which, again, warrants more ear training. Now we know that he is not tone deaf, I am totally up for some Ear Training or Theory with Ibo content! He seems like a great & receptive music student!
Agreed what I've seen from two videos so far he is pretty good rhythmically and here he did really nicely on everything, most notable the intervals (even if he did slightly miss). Impressive really.
👍
And one must admit, that they were quite hard on him in this respect. Picking up a complex melody from hearing it just once is not that easy. If it is what you have done all your life, it might seem that way, but it is not.
Is more studying/teaching videos with Ibo, it would be *fascinating*
Ibo: “You’re not observing some sort of foreign creature!”
Meanwhile me: _The Australians are a ✨f a s c i n a t i n g✨people_
Now Ibo needs a violin lesson. You underestimate how much I want to see Ibset Violin.
I have taught music for over 40 years and I do not belief there is such a thing as being "tone deaf", the term is a curse that closes the door to a person's musical potential. I wish musicians should stop using it (sacrilegious it is). It would be more accurate to describe it as "tone ignorance". It is where we all start on the journey to developing relative pitch, and eventually perfect pitch (the ability to recognize each pitch as accurately as we can recognize different colors on the spectrum). Some people ignore the subtleties of sound and tone, to the point they have never bothered to compare pitch, and have yet to develop the ability to discern differences which are obvious to many, because they have paid attention. Do not let this video shake your confidence in your sense of pitch, we are all at different developmental levels when it comes to relative pitch, all musicians are naturally improving this skill over time.
I kind of agree with you. Though I think there may be people who are tone deaf.
I am color blind. My eyes don't see the way yours do. No amount of training can fix that.
I think there are but they're pretty rare.
@@eriks2962 Very different though. For color blind people certain receptors in the eye either do not work or react to some degree to the wrong frequencies of light. So there is a physical cause in the eye.
"Tone deaf" people can actually hear all frequencies as long as they can hear and identify other sounds and especially language. The ear seems to detect sounds quite fine and the brain is able to analyse them as well. So I don't think there is a physical cause in the ear. As I am not a doctor or biologist, I cannot be perfectly sure about that, but I have never heard of such a cause or even as "tone deafness" as a medical condition. So it might be a mental limitation, maybe more similar to a learning condition. And people with such conditions can usually improve with training.
@@salia2897 There are people who can't hear all frequencies. Even as human we usually only hear a certain range. Some hear less than others so it's not a stretch some/a few can't legitimately hear differences between some since that seems like the grey area between hearing and hearing loss. Or that perhaps some people can technically hear them but it's a brain thing where it doesn't process as different.
@@wombat4583 We cannot only usually only hear a certain range, we definitively only can hear a certain range. And yes, there are of course people that have some physical damage to their inner ear or some other issue. But that is not what is referred to as tone deaf. People that are "tone deaf" can typically completely normal hearing. I've looked it up, and yes it is an issue with the processing in the brain, so it is a cognitive issue. So it is much more similar to something like dislexia than it is to color blindness. You cannot train a color blind person to see colors, because the biological ability is just not there. You can train most dislexic people to read to some extend though. It is just much harder for them.
Of course brains are different and mental ability is also. Some might not be able to learn to distinguish simple cords. But "tone deaf" is not a medical term and saying someone is "tone deaf" makes it sound like that it is not something they could be able to learn. But most of them probably can.
I am 1000% here for Ibo being in more videos! Anyone with me?!
Watching you guys help Ibo understand basic music theory stuff is really fun and interesting
I second this idea! They should make a series of them teaching Ibo music theory stuff and basic classical music stuff. Or music history. It’s perfect for the non musicians subscribers, too!
I want to see Ibo try to play violin in 1 hour 🤭
YES! Ibo is adorable and I love the energy of their friendship.
One might say it's * f a s c i n a t i n g *
My pitch has always been at the level of being able to tell if the pitch goes up or down in a series of notes, or telling the odd one out. But just being given a note and having to place it on a scale, that I could never do properly.
Big props to Ibo though, what a charcter 👏
Same, but I think it's just because I am not used to it and with practice I could
Same, I could get the note maybe within a few tries, but identifying chords is pretty much impossible for me
The way I did it was just by holding the scale in my head and comparing each unknown note against every note on the scale. Takes a minute but it works.
I think when you're familiar enough with scales you can just tell how far apart two notes are by the change in pitch, but that's way beyond me.
@@ashurean The same thing worked for me. Did the same thing for the earlier tests too, just on a much smaller scale.
I think it definitely took a while. I havent played an instrument in years and I definitely had near perfect pitch when I did. Now I have to focus more and compare each note mentally and it takes a lot longer than it use to. That or I'm just getting old.
That moment when a tone deaf person has better aural skills than you, a musician
Supposedly tone deaf
he isnt tone deaf at all
IDK - the first "tone deaf" videos with this guy didn't have me convinced. He could hear the passages and identify them, which to me isn't "tone deaf." Not being able to sing them back in-tune is more a lack of training/vocal control. I have perfect pitch but can't sing for sh!t - drives me nuts, because I can't hit the right notes! Not because I don't know it's not the right note but because I lack the physical control over my voice to do it. But play any note and I can tell you what note it is and the deviation from 444.
Always love seeing your friendship with Ibo!! Reminds me of all the busking videos and how far you've come🥺
Who else wants TwoSet to make a podcast talking about their life as (former) orchestra musicians and analyzing classical pieces and stuff? I would definitely listen to it
Brett actually did podcasts years ago with other classical musicians. 😊
@@serena_davis Really?! What was it called?
It's really more like a memory test than a pitch test. That's why the slight hertz adjustment is WAY easier than some of the other tests, because it just keeps replaying in a loop and no memory is involved. The last "tone deaf" video was also more of a memory test.
Well, no, that herz test just murdered me, I can't hear the difference at all, no matter how hard I listened, I couldn't hear the difference. (Everything else was like ok, I can do this, but the herz literally just didn't register at all.)
@@eiralinnea Tbh, I didn't hear it either, but I'm listening with bad headphones while sitting in a train, so I have an excuse xD
Then again, I also didn't manage most of the questions with more than one tone in them, so yeah...
@@eiralinnea Same, they all sounded the same to me and I'm learning the violin. Yikes! Hope my 'ear' improves with time!
With this Hz test, besides being able to perceive a difference, you also need to remember what the previous note sounded like, even if it is just for a few milseconds. So yeah, hearing pitch involves a lot of memory (or represention, basically imagining/recalling the sound as you heard it).
I knew all the answers to the rest except the slight hertz one which I kept replaying and still couldn't hear the difference. I think my question is : Are you hertz deaf?
"Wow you're not tone deaf!"
"I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS TONE DEAF"
How does Ibo not know that Eddy has perfect pitch? I assume everyone around them knows lmaooo
i think he was joking
when ibo said in 7:06 minor and major cords looks like diffrence between brett and eddy i gave up and laughed for solid 5mins. thanks twoset for make me laugh that much after a long time
I wonder who is minor chord and who is major chord.
@@hildewong5281 i think eddy would be major chord and brett would be minor chord because of sad/dark and happy/light personality lol
Not gonna lie, the test felt like it went from "are you tone deaf" to "do you possibly have untrained perfect pitch?" 🤣
On another note, I thought being tone-deaf meant you can't replicate the note... like when you sing.
"IBSet" Violin. LOVE IT! Ibo is such a cutie patootie!
There are many of us out there like Ibo who can identify major/minor, tone, notes, etc., but we cannot often vocally replicate the notes that we hear. We're not tone deaf, we are just unable (as in my case) to carry a tune in a basket into the next room, lol.
I love Ibos confidence 😂 seems like such a great character haha
I play 10 instruments. The only one I couldn't do was the one where one note was a few hertz lower than the others. Even after I knew the answer, I couldn't hear the difference. YET THIS GUY KNEW AND SAID IT WAS EASIER THAN THE PREVIOUS CHALLENGE??? EXCUSE ME??
I still don't hear it 😿
I couldn't hear it either and I supposedly have perfect pitch
It was also the only one I couldn't hear. But then I also can't distinguish or hear the different temperament tunings. For example well temperament sounds the same to me as equal temperament. But intervals, hearing and recreating melodies etc.: No problem. I can also hear whether my guitar is tuned to E or to Eb. And I absolutely don't have perfect pitch.
I thought it was super clear for some reason?? like the first time through I knew immediately because 4 just sounded slightly off, though I can't explain why. Maybe it's just because I play 15 instruments and sing so I just have so much experience with tuning? Idk man, I can totally understand how that's hard for a lot of people. I don't have perfect pitch either so I'm surprised it was so easy for me
I heard that 4 was different but struggled with numbering sounds 1-8 and differentiating B and C. I think its because in the 2hz challenge you had 4 sounds that were exactly the same whereas 1 was slightly different. But in the B C challenge all the instruments sounded completely different and i had the same reaction as ibo. they didn;t sound like they had anything in common
6:55 i like how editor san is also comparing brett and eddy as sad and happy here HAHAHAAH
10:30 Eddy suddenly switching to Asian Mum tone 😆
Hearing the intervals is actually really hard and I'm so amazed by how Ibo got some of those right!
There are simple “cheats” to help you recognize intervals when you hear them. For example, the first two notes in “Here Comes the Bride” are a perfect fourth.
i want a whole series of this, now bring a singing teacher to see if he can learn to actually reproduce the pitches
Ibo was hilarious! Roasting Brett and Edy! And “Ibset!!
sooooo there are very few people that are actually "tone deaf". He can *hear* the difference between the notes, what he lacks is the coordination between hearing and reproducing those notes. it's also possible that there's a physical restriction preventing him from hearing his own voice properly. I'd like to see him try reproducing sounds using a mic and on/in ear monitors with noise isolation to see if there's any improvement. the volume of the monitors might be quite high to overcome the buzzing that he's likely creating in his head when he talks... he does seem to be using a lot of nasal amplification which would be adding to that
The equivalent of a colour blind person trying to identify colours
When Ibo did better than you 🤣 tbh though I had a feeling he wasn’t tone deaf 🥰🙌 great video guys! A lot of fun!
Ibo reminds me of the brown bear mascot with round glass eyes and a pure, friendly smile that gives warm and kind bear hugs.
Part of me wants to see the counterpart to this video even if it isn't music related, Ibo testing them on something he's great at that they've got little experience in. Just so he can return fire with some "~*~I N T E R E S T I N G~*~"s of his own
Yessss! Brilliant idea, or should i say, *^f a s c i n a t i n g^*
6:25 they were so shocked that he's not tone deaf and then he's like "I never said I was" hahahaha
I think my musicality level is about the same as Ibo's, so I was happy to find out that he isn't tone deaf 😁
I really like the videos with Ibo, he has such a warm personality and it's always fun to watch their friendship. Also, Academy sounds fun, I'd like to learn some basics 🙋🏻♀️
When there is ibo, the funnist thing of the video is brett and Eddy's reaction 🤣🤣🤣
So cool that they are back in Australia so they can collaborate with their friends! I WANT a video with producer Shawn SO MUCH!!!
Ibo is wholesome, TwoSet reaction is wholesome, whole video have this "classy" and "swaggy" (actually not), but chill vibe filled with heartwarming sense of friendship. I LOVE this!
I love the idea of Ibo being a puppetmaster and hamming up how tone deaf he is in order to come back on the channel
This was so fun to watch. I took that test too, and to my surprise, not only am I NOT tone deaf, but can recognize down to 1/16 of an octave. As someone with no music education (other than Twoset of course), it WAS ✨fascinating✨. This was also why I commented on last video with Ibo, that he is not as tone deaf, too.
5:59 if you hear it carefully and you’ll hear the beginning of still dre
My dad is tone-deaf. However, it only applies to him singing. He can hear a note and look it up on the guitar or piano to hear which note it is. However, he will 99% of the time sing the wrong one.
This is the case with many tone-deaf people which I think includes your friend. Think of it as a... Musical dyslexia or aphasia. They think the right thing is coming out, but it's not.
Instrument specific absolute pitch is a thing. Especially with notes that are particularly ‘interesting’ on an instrument
That's me. I'd listen to songs as a kid, and then just play them. My mother went and told my first instructor about that, and my instructor just shrugged and said that's how some people are, and didn't seem surprised at all. But I have always struggled to read music - like, I can look at it and play the notes on it, and with a LOT of effort maybe count things out very slowly so the notes are the right length, but with no musicality. I had to listen to my teacher play it or listen to a recording so I knew the notes and rhythm and just how the piece sounded in general, and then I could play it fine (and about three decades later, that's still the case...now I'm on UA-cam looking for recordings so I can learn new pieces).
I've been told I have near perfect pitch, because I can't just hear any note and name it, even if I could hear a note and promptly play it on my violin.
Going through this video was fascinating (lol) however, because I was watching it for fun, not to test myself...except then I kept getting confused by TwoSet's surprise at Ido getting things right because the right answers seemed so easy and obvious to me. Like, obviously that was an A not a B, and obviously #4 was the one 2 Hzs lower than the other notes...that type of thing. If you just played a random note and it was an open ended "what note was that" I'd maybe fail, but with the multiple choice "is this A or B" it was so easy. It helped to imagine that I had my violin and needed to play those notes, and then it became easy to tell if it was an A or B.
Now I get why my mother was so surprised/confused at my playing songs by ear as a child, because this test was so easy and I was baffled as to why TwoSet's reactions were so surprised when Ido got them almost or entirely correct.
Anyway...I had no idea that instrument specific absolute pitch was an actual thing, and it's nice to finally have a name for it!
I'm not that surprised he did well. You might very well have a good ear, but still not be able to SING the right notes as he had to to in the previous videos. The voice is an instrument that must be trained, which is harder for some people than for others.
Lol twoset’s reaction is like my grandparents’ reaction when they realise I know how to use chopsticks (I grew up in a western country).
I like how he said that Eddy is major and Brett is minor
"I never thought I was tone deaf." 😆😆
If it makes you feel better, Ibo, we didn't think so either.
A new one word meme is born for two set...."fascinating!"
Ibo here representing the non-musically-aligned everyman! A very ✨fascinating✨ watch, absolutely loved how genuinely excited Brett and Eddy get whenever he got it right!
Told yas all! I'm evolving! 🐣>🐔
I feel like people nowadays use “tone deaf” really loosely. Like “tone deaf” means completely unable to parse pitch, but most people just use it to describe anyone who they perceive is “below average” at recognizing tones lmao (my mom used to call me tone deaf even though I played clarinet and was first chair in band lol)
“Do you have perfect pitch?”
Well SOMEONE hasn’t been watching TwoSetViolin…. 🤣
I was in a choir all through out middle school. At some point in my childhood, albeit very briefly, I learned the violin, piano, flute, and guitar. I’ve been told I can carry a tune. But as I played along taking the quiz with this video I started questioning whether perhaps I am tone deaf somewhat…
I know, some of it was really hard.
Me too, I thought I could ace it, but no. I'm worse than Ibo...
@@xandraxandra1437 I feel ya! I also did worse than Ibo 😆
I played flute and started taking voice classes at school with some friends. The teacher literally told me to stop singing and get the flute to 'help others get the right tone' xD
Became a (flute) soloist tho
I feel prior starting to play guitar (still not long) I struggled less doing a test like this. I don't know why. :D
I have been playing guitar for 18 years and I still absolutely crash and burn when it comes to recognizing intervals/scale steps.
I've played classical violin for 11 years, been told by my teacher I have the best pitch sensitivity of her students, BUT I CANT HEAR THE STUPID DIFFERENCE IN THE HERTZ TEST 😭 my life is a lie
there has been another word added to the twoset violin dictionary guys:
✨Fascinating✨
Favorite part:
Eddy demonstrating difference between major and minor
Ibo pointing at Eddy and Brett: Difference between you and you?
On a side note, I used to be a Chinese flute player and am now a violin beginner and I scored worse than Ibo
Ibo is the definition of “good sport”
You three are a whole vibe
Oh no! A wild Ibo appeared! How fascinating! Grab your binoculars! Quick! Quick!
Fascinating. The hardest was to identify which note in scale was played. I was close but slightly off. And I had absolutely no problems with any of the other tests. Is this relative pitch?
You have good relative pitch, all but the first few tests actually require some musical training or experience.
could not do the scale ones. Even though I know my intervals ... Closest was 1-2-6 .. for the 1-3-6. ....
Yeah identifying the notes are harder for me than the hertz one
i love the ibo content we've been getting recently! hes so funny and wholesome
I honestly love this guy he’s so chill and seems like a really kind soul
NOW HE JUST NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE VIOLIN AND THEN THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WILL BE COMPLETE
I got everything right, but that answer to the 5-note question was just a feeling rather than actually hearing the difference. How Ibo could get that so confidently is truly FASCINATING.
That’s what I said about Ibo previously - he’s getting better each time, that’s what PRACTICE do!!!
Love to seeing your guys have a such good time.It’s fascinating !
Fascinating plot twist. May be Ibo is likely not tone deaf but he (and also us) is learning a lot. I would definitely join the Two Set academy!
So much fun to watch and challenge myself to, I wanna see you do this with others in a competition
I agree with Ibo that differentiating notes by different hertz levels are easier. I think it would take a lot of training to be able to differentiate between 2 notes with a half interval difference.
aaahhh this was lovely! love the energy IBSET! 😂 Needed that
This was really fun to watch and play along with. I did a lot better than I thought I would. Hurray for Two Set Academy. Where do I sign up?
Plot twist: Ibo isn't tone deaf after all, Twoset just made him to fit their narrative 🤣
Edit: and the second plot twist: Ibo just made them believe he was tone deaf, so he could come back to the channel.
yes!.... ibo is back! loads and loads of our love to him
This video is ✨fascinating✨
FASCINATING!!!! I LOVE THIS VID ~~~
Love this fastinating chemistry between you guys 👍✨️
2:22 Brett is too pure for this world 😭😭😂😂
I love your evil plan Ibo! Really enjoy having you on the channel. So chill and funny. 😉
Love these videos! Takes me back to all those ear training and sight singing classes 😋
Mad props to Ibo! Dude's got a great ear 💪
You should make a series of Ibo taking vocal lessons to see how his ability to repeat melodies improves! It would be super interesting.
This challenge was quite hard actually. I'm not a musician, by the way. I just enjoy listening to it.
yeah, once it started with the sequences, i was out
@@stevqtalent For me the sequences were the harder part. The major and minor were quite easy and I could also tell the Hz, even if not 100% sure. Like Ibo, I think that most people just aren't musically trained and with practice and familiarity between the sound of the note and its connection to the name of the note it would be much easier.
as a mucisian I couldn't even figure out the last one, the one with the major 9th. The challange started very easy, the first questions had me shook because i really thought any human should be able to hear which one is higher pitched... but it got so much harder as it went on
@@minephlip That's probably because you capped out on your aural training. A lot of people just do intervals within the octave and don't go any higher. You should brush up on your jazz chords.
@@brassholio yeah, at first i tried to use their method of 'feeling' what chord it is, by the vibe it gives off. But i cant instinctively 'feel' the major or minorness, as with normal triads. And theorywise, yeah i wasn't too sure which part of the chord would be major or minor indicative. I thought there would be a third in there that got lowered, and the 9th itself would remain a major 9th in both
I'm down for more IbSetViolin, ngl. 😂❤
Fascinating merch NOW
