@@SharaniShamman you're welcome dude! I'm in the conservatory studying to become a music teacher, so I love teaching and explaining music shit. Glad I could help!
@@justaperson554 oh man, you are going to be an amazing teacher. i would love to do classes from you, you seem very cool. I got another question, you know if this song is in A# minor... so the notes are A# B# C# D# E# F# G#. Why did he play B# to B in the riff? B is not in the scale right?
@@justaperson554 That is not correct. First of all, you'd rarely ever say a song is in the key of A# minor, especially when it comes to modern guitar/bass based pop/rock, and other genres based in jazz theory. 9 times out of 10 you'd say it's in Bb minor since it's easier to read the 5 flats of Bb minor than it is to read the 7 sharps of A# minor. String musicians are probably among the only ones who would prefer reading music with sharps over music with flats. This makes the notes of the scale Bb minor: Bb, C, Db, Eb, F, Gb and Ab. Do note that there is a C, not a B# in there. Secondly, the studio version of this song is NOT in Bb minor (or A# minor, as you said), but in F minor. The scale notes of F minor are: F, G, Ab, Bb, C, Db, and Eb. Also here there is a C, not a B#. Lastly, Shawn is NOT playing the song in F minor (as in the studio version) in this example. He is playing it a half step down, in E minor (I'd guess the song was originally written in E minor, only to be raised to F minor during recording to better fit his voice, but that's just a guess). The notes in E minor are: E, F#, G, A, B, C, and D. Same thing here, there is a C, not a B#. My point is, in none of these cases is there a B#. It is always called a C. Only in very special cases and keys is the note C referred to as B#. I don't mean to be a rude know-it-all or anything, and I'm sure Shawn just messed it up in his head when explaining it. I just wanted to clear things up and hopefully help to understand it better! :) Source: Many years of academic music theory studies, including college education in composing, arranging and notating.
Hey I know my question is completely random and wierd but here it goes. I've been learning music but the chords and the bass walk down went over my head. Where do learn such stuff I am learning music on my own so it's pretty much impossible to know such things help me if you can thankyoy
@@a_beats5529 Hey, learning guitar online, especially on your own, can be very tricky. If you have the possibility to take irl lessons with a private teacher or a conservatory (just an example), then you should. If that's not the case and you can only rely on the internet, then you should look up exercises, NOT SONGS, on bass walks, chords and whatever you need. There are exercises on youtube for just about anything strings related. Right hand, left hand, fingerstyle, strumming, open chords, barred chords... I hope this helps.
@@a_beats5529 What that guy said sounds boring. If ur playing guitar then just play songs of ur fav artists so that u stay interested. Mine is john mayer and theres a channel called Zartimus that gives extremely detailed lessons. To learn his songs takes a long time for a beginner but there is so much packed in to them that u learn a lot through it.
@@mochie678 the fact that you call it boring lets everyone know you don't have a clue. Dudes right, exercises and scales are the way forward. John Mayer didn't get to where he is by ignoring the fundamentals.
Am I the only one comparing Shawn from the old Life of the Party tutorial to now Higher and being flattered by his hair style 🤩🤩🤩, he's totally different person 😱
@@justaperson554 yea i know. it's just that i was listening and was confused for a sec and then thought it was funny. but i often think in piano and then it's just C since the key is white. but i totally understand why he says it, especially since he was coming from B.
I usually do this strumming style a lot but I don’t know how to play this 100% percent but I’ll try to explain the best way possible. So it goes: D(down strum) twice then he hammers on a note then U strums U(up strum) then D or slap pause then D down strums on notes. Short version: D = down, H = hammer on U = Up D D H U D or slap, D D D Hopefully this gave you an idea or understood what I was saying
@@ibrahim47x lol bruh!! 3 years of Bachelors in Music but still i havent heard a single note of B# in my life. Yeah Bb is a thing but there is no such note like B#. And research properly before commenting you dumbass.
@@Julius_Smith pretty sure it is a custom shop, those fretboard inlay markers (especially the first fret) don't look like anything Martin normally uses
maybe there was already a C# in the key so he had to call it B sharp just to come correct with the key. haven't really thought about the theory behind this maybe he just misspoke but that does happen sometimes. good on him for being that musically smart with his words if that's the case though.
