Holy what a god tier channel and underrated af, as an ableton beginner producer this amazes me as the exact type of music i would dream to create. i love this video too for your in depth explanations and just the music in general. great vid! also u kinda look like jake gyllenhaal and ryan gosling combined
Both are cool in very different ways! It's neat that they share the same the same connective tissue though. Almost sounds like the kind of thing where you could form a single song by using the fusion version for 2 / 3 minutes, and then having a half-time breakdown of the original version to end the track. Love stuff like that Beautiful chord progression as well. Without passing chords it still sounds so dreamy and smooth
absolute gem of a channel, I’ve been a metal musician for the last decade or so and now I’ve just uploaded my first lofi/jazz tune on distrokid. Your channel has been a big help bridging the gap!
Whether you've 'ruined' it or not depends on artistic intent and that is an entirely subjective call. The two trigger completely different responses, I wouldn't necessarily say one is better than the other, which i guess is your point :D Personally I prefer the stripped back version where the metronomic drums serve as a bed for the melodic elements, in the fusion version there is a lot of competition between the different elements. Not a value judgement, just a preference.
Such a great video! As a fellow lifelong learner of music making, I’d like to bring a note here that can potentially benefit each of us here: Over the years, one thing I consistently observed in great producers and mixing engineers is that they work pretty quickly. For example, J Dilla was known to produce most of his greatest beats in 10-15 minutes, 9th Wonder as well. Pro mixing engineers apply this as well because they don’t want to lose perspective by spending too much time on individual parts and problems. What I realized is that what we call “vibe” is most of the time our gut feel so listening to it can hopefully help as well. I hope this helps somebody one day!
Why do you feel that if one part becomes complex all the other parts have to be made complex too? Couldn't it be interesting to mix degrees of complexity within a single piece?
while the second version certainly is impressive regarding technical and musical knowledge it is too complex for my taste. a lot is happening quickly, so many chord changes. the second is more simple and relaxed. just make the drums more interesting, expand the bass line at certain points and you have a proper lofi beat, perfect for background music
THIS IS CLICKBAIT, because you did not ruin your improv! :) It's actually pretty dope IMHO. I would love to hear (& see) an arrangement, where you develop the simple vibe of the two chords into your overthinking fusion piece, cuz i can relate to both hahaha

Lujon is an amazing tune, thanks for your great lessons.
Great stuff many many thanks ! Love the improvisation 🎉

I love it all , i like the fusion version even more. Inspiring melodies and techniques !
Great work man
Thanks for checking it out!
both r pretty sick. the bassline on the second one is gnarly
I got into music production last month and just wanted to say I love your content, super useful stuff and you explain and show it all really well.

Love all your videos & shorts
Great vid, love the music, love how you explain a bunch of steps of the process in detail.
Reminds me of Weather Report! The faster stuff is way more interesting, keep it up
RIP Chick ❤
Everytime I learn some cool harmonic stuff and think to myself that it's somewhat complex, I come to youtube and see thing like this 😂
Well done Jaron
Bro that sht is FIRE!! Id love to add some backing ..city sound,syncopated(slower track) ...love your videos! makes me expand chordwise.
Gold , thanks for share Dude .
So nice
Dude, I just need those harmony videos. I really need to practice composition and to learn those concepts better I know I have to apply them. Cheers
very useful video thanks Jaron!

Holy Shit Dude!
You had it at 6:00 and at 6:44 you went Hulk smash :)
i want to see how you would approach making a pluggnb beat
woulda been dope if u transitioned the old to new in the same track
i love your videos
Snarky Puppy trumps J Dilla for me (here, and everywhere), by miles!
Crazy that this only has 300 views
the remake sounds like some unorthodox future bass tune lofi cover

4mn in it's already too crowded somehow ?

great vid, subscribing for the Chromatic Motion and Dominant Harmony videos

it' s Jazz from hell by Zappa ^_^
Where's the Dilla?
