    I’m currently in love with k pop and Korean hip hop but I also love Japanese rock and metal and different American rock bands and English rock bands. I love hip hop I love soul music and jazz. I don’t know how to make music because I can’t decide between them and song writing is so hard and beat making is so hard to do when I have so many influences. This video was definitely very encouraging thank you so much 🙏🙏

    None of us interpret music the same due to nature, nurture, and how our brains perceive the world. I started playing guitar to play rock and punk...As I developed, what I thought I wanted, I was trying to force upon myself. It turns out I excel at R&B and Neo-Soul genres, and I fell in love with it. Not that I can't play Metal or Rock, I can just enter a state of flow with R&B instantly. Excellent video!

    It’s great to see the way that you use different genres to create your style. I think my style will eventually be mixing orchestral, rock/metal guitars, and risers/FXs. After watching this, I have to see how you make vocal shots. That was awesome. I could see that in an action track as well.

    Great advice! Thanks for sharing your experience with us :) My friends in highschool hated that I'm switching genres in matter of weeks, but I never gave up and now I can create for example, an 80's sounding disco-pop track with elements of jazz, funk, trap and metal that still sounds fresh.. Production is all about style and creativity, but technical knowledge is a must if you ask me. Gotta know all about that sweet gear 😅

    • @AndrewBarrMusic
      @AndrewBarrMusic  3 місяці тому

      Technical knowledge is definitively important, but the longer I do this the more I think songwriting and arranging is key. There are technically awful sounding songs that have hit top 100 this past year and it’s because it’s a killer written song. But I believe it’s all important

    Something I have been struggling with a bit lately even after producing music for years, but this is a good reminder to continue to go down the rabbit holes and make progress without overthinking. Funny enough though, what you said actually starts happening automatically over time and you start blending various elements subconsciously in the effort to create a certain sound. So the takeaway I think is to keep making music and not worry too much about the genre. Great perspective and interesting video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, appreciate it.

    I struggled with finding my sound for about 20 years. Im into super modern metal but also grew up on nu metal and og deathmetal. I ended up finding my sound but now where im in a wierd spot where my music isnt heavt enough to be dsathcore but is way too heavy to gain much traction. But it sounds different so thats neat :)

    Started out influenced by metal, nu-metal, post/prog rock. My life needed more chill and less chaos so got into acoustic finger style and my current interests and what I’m working on are blues travis picking stuff, slow blues playing changes and Pink Floyd style progressions. My lead skills still need work but something good will come of it I’m sure. If I locked myself into a genre I would lose passion for it no doubt.

    Steve jobs finish that anecdote saying "And because apple had the first fonts and MICROSOFT COPIED APPLE, we all have fonts"
    Which Steve doesnt aknowledge is that Microsoft copied apple and still reigns over the market. So at the end, it only matters if you are good enough, unlike apple.

      I come at this from a different perspective.. I play in bands where I bring a different approach (blues, soul, country, classic rock) into bands that are predominantly indie, indie rock, and the philosophy is that you stir the pot with the original songs and see what comes out. It is pretty amazing to see a song morph from its 1st cut to something very different at the end. It is the fact that everyone brings something different to the table, that can result in some surprising things.
