Rob sure knows how to swing!
Uhhhh.
yo its jazz bass music theory youtube guy
It’s pride month nothing you say can be gay
Swing sure knows how to Rob
@@scootinand In Russia Jazz plays you.
the motif of adam saying "i'm so sorry" quickly followed by rob's "i'm not" is music to my ears
I think it's a really valuable tool that Rob refuses to apologize for being bad at a thing he doesn't know how to do, instead of getting stuck in his head getting frustrated
It's a metalhead thing. 🤟
“I’m not” HONK
Haha yea
I’m just being silly of course
I have tremendous respect for jazz musicians and especially horn players (obviously)
Takes a tremendous amount of skill, and in an area I have no experience in
So I’m just not embarrassed to be terrible at it
@@robscallon rob, please reply to me.!! You’re my idol brother. I hope I don’t sound insane!
"So jazz starts with the bass"
Rob's metal brain: "not the drums?"
"No, upright bass"
Rob's metal brain not computing: "sooo...not drums?"
I've been playing drums for 27 years. Jazz starts with the bass. Most metal songs too. Bass is the first step.
This sounds like Spinal Tap dialog or something, I love it
The double pedal legs shaking
Then he remembered Ace of Spades existed and went along with the thing
@@johnwick1883 Let's be real for a second, most, not all but most Metal Songs start with a Cool riff on a Guitar all the way back to Metallica.
as a saxophonist I will literally never judge rob for not being able to learn how to play a wind instrument in 10 minutes haha
same
i think his reed was completly dry too which definitly didnt help
yeah I don't know how to play any wind instruments but it all comes from the "wind", the diaphragm. and seeing as I have no idea how to control that I think rob did an outstanding job on the sax. its such a cool and unique instrument
@@codeRenniX actually that's a fair point I started on sax then went to low brass because all our schools tuba players quit and I learned all the low brass instruments due to proximity. Now I'm learning guitar and I can see how it doesn't cross that easily
I mean it’s just impossible lol
Overlooking the sax sounding like the CIA waterboarding a swan for information, it's amazing how Rob will already have the hang of what Adam's explaining by the time he's finished explaining it.
That has got to be the best description I've ever read of someone muffing a musical number (apart from my mother saying "What the hell are you doing in there, torturing a cat?" the first time I brought home my violin when I was in the 5th grade)
This comment made my day lol
After this, I won't be able to look at swans without bursting into laughing anymore. Thanks!, I guess!:)))
Was looking for a way to describe that. Now I don’t have to. The word blasphemy did come to mind.
That's jazz BABYYYY
I love how happy Rob looks when Adam "allows" him to do a guitar solo
Yep
I mean when you have to struggle with instruments you don't play.
"Daddy, can I have some candy now?"
"Yes, son."
**squee**
@@nathanjasper512 true
got the 1000th like
As a saxophone player, watching the blind lead the blind was painful but hilarious. Especially seeing the neck get pulled out to tune the instrument. Bless your hearts.
So how are you supposed to tune it, then?
@@maxwilson7001 pulling the mouthpiece out a little to make it flatter or pushing it in a little to make it sharper. The neck should always be all the way down and tightened that way at all times.
also the reason it was so sharp was because he was playing a C#
Me, a trumpet player, watching them do it: "yeah, that makes sense..."
Blind leading the blind..spot on!
Robs “When life gives you a saxophone, play it like a lead guitar” mindset is everything
The best call-and-response in this is Adam's "I'm sorry" and Rob's "i'm not"
also the "including today"
I can’t wait to see Sca-Taylor release their first saxophone!
It's going to be similar to when the guy from Moon Hooch uses a traffic cone, but with only the traffic cone part
It will look like something the Blue Man Group uses, but it will need two other people to hold it up while you play.
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS!
HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6

“For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
Yes please
Just a couple rusty pipes with holes and a mouth piece
10:33 Rob shreds on the piano and Adam still decides to tell him which key is the Bb, love it
He also pointed out where a chord was on the guitar. I guess it's kinda his thing?
@@theodorekaczynski2138 It's not just rob who he's teaching but all of his viewers so it's not just for rob but all the people watching who may not know
"Shreds"
just the unimpressed mmhm
@@theodorekaczynski2138 yeeee but Rob didn't react to Adam saying the chord until he pointed so. I mean, its not rare for metal musicians not knowing named of chords or their funktion.
The smash cut of you two running after asking Adam if he brought the instruments is just pure gold
I dpnt think ive ever laughed so hard in my laugh then in that first viewing of both of them running at full speed to the music store.
Man, hearing Adam explain how the different instruments take care of different parts in jazz really helped me visualize that concept. I've heard the idea explained before, but hearing a concrete example of how the piano took up the voicing of the lower notes that Rob wanted to play on guitar really drove the whole thing home.
At which point of the end?
@@joshjams1978 At 11:18 if I’m not mistaken
@@notesrhythms6446 thankshuuuuu
Its actually an idea that works across genres when your aranging stuff. Its really easy to just layer on 20 different instruments, but if they are all on top of each other, chances are you'll hear none of them and it'll be a big ol' mess. Even orchestral music requires a composer to be *really* careful to avoid creating nasty sounding mud. Even in rock and roll, if you've got two guitars slinging around the same region of the fretboard, chances are it'll just sound confusing (Which is why the lead stays high, and the rhythm low, and if the lead wants to go low, the rhythm has to dial it right back.)
@@shayneoneill1506 please stop making me realise I'm really bad at arrangement :(
When rob throttled that sax, the look of bewildered uncertainty on adam's face was priceless. He was so unsure if what he was hearing was terrible or about to go somewhere epic lmao
@18:02 LMAO
The answer was yes
The amount of times rob says "really?" Is oddly profound. No matter how knowledgeable you are, and no matter how deep you've gone down the rabbit hole of genres and instruments, music is surprising to everyone at times.
Maybe I will pick up my instrument today
Or maybe you'll pick up a saxophone instead
Also he isn't used to anal jazz musicians
this is the most wholesome comment here
Play them!
“Maybe I will pick up my instrument today,” I love it, me too
This and the metal videos made me realize how a series about these two trying to learn to play different styles would be great, they have so much chemistry
I want it. I need it.
YES. More metal and jazz subgenres, please!
@@Zinetha or break into different genres
This could be the best jazz solo ever by a complete beginner saxophonist.
Yes xD
Hey, was doing now 20 minutes of training on the job already!
prodigy af
not if the beginner saxophonist is also a clarinetist
Have you ever heard H John Benjamin's "Well I Should Have Learned How To Play Piano"? Very similar energy. Like Rob, John totally catches the vibe, even if he doesn't actually know what to do with it. His phrasing was really great. Like if you put some real notes in Rob's solo it would have sounded fantastic because he knew what he was going for, just not how to make it happen.
Adam and Rob have some of the best chemistry and the two of them super HAVE to collab again! It's crazy how much fun they are together.
Rob is such a fun guy, he has a good chemistry with so many people.
@@FairyCRat yeah ikr
We have to have a yt musician band, with Rob, Adam, Andrew Huang, maybe Roomie or Dave, ect
Add Andrew Huang to the mix and lock all of them in a studio for a day and see what happens!
+
Rob is like that kid in 101 that obvs should be in advanced courses but still has to take the intro class first as a formality, and Adam is the teacher just trying to get him to relax and follow the ciriculum lol
I love the difference in attitude between you two: "I'm so sorry to all my friends who have dedicated their lives to the study of this wonderful instrument..." "I'M NOT" *continues figuring it out."
18:18 "I found another button half way through" made me laugh so hard
😂
#metoo
How fortunate of Adam to be working with a metal head who actually knows music theory. Otherwise it would have been a very different video 😂
So true😂😂
yea this. I wrote an acoustic song with some jazz chords for my rock band once and explaining it to our guitarist was like teaching your 100yr old grandma about computers
ua-cam.com/video/9mrCvtOmvv8/v-deo.html
Agreed. Metal music is one of the lowest forms of expression. Any Neanderthal can "play" metal. Adams aura of complete disgust and contempt when Rob was showing how to make a metal song was palatable. I especially enjoy how both of them treat it like the joke that it is.
@@blazejecar I couldn't imagine working with brain dead metalheads.
Count basie's guitarist played quarter notes for 40 years and never played a solo. Absolutely amazing commitment to the rhythm.
Freddie green. He also didn't have electric guitars so he would get the biggest strings and guitars he could find and just bang out the down beat.
I bet he had some mean chops under wraps
I love how the rhythm section is simultaneously the most important part of jazz and by far the easiest for anybody with music experience to just step in and play
Adam being like a proud teacher whenever Rob pulled off meat and potatoes jazz parts filled me with joy
Rob could definitely use some more time on the sax, but honestly, he didn't do a bad job overall.
Now the two of you need to work up a metal-jazz fusion recording.
Is it finally time?
do you think the world is ready for *_"Djazz: The Album"_* ?
Djazz 2 leaked
check out clown core, they... got something like that, no one is sure what it is exactly but it sounds jazzy among other things
@@nightinthewhite3817 plus electronic synths and EDGINESS
basically Thank you scientist
Wow, I’m pretty impressed at how that all came together in the end. Adam really knows his stuff, and it never ceases to surprise me how quickly Rob can pick up random instruments.
Lemme guess you commented this before the sax came in?
I’m a tenor sax player and I about died. How mashing keys sounds that good is mind boggling
Pulling the neck out to tune😭
I love how this all actually sounds good and then the sax starts hahahah
Adam teaching Rob how to jazz: it's berklee time
Rob teaching Adam how to metal: guitar go brr
"That was my first take...shall we just keep it?" Good advice indeed. Having been with a few people in the studio who insisted on doing multiple takes (pre DAW comping!) where the original idea worked, but just went down hill each and every time they tried a new take...!
Even in my (less than professional) occasional recording/producing role, i ALWAYS got someone to think they were doing a dummy run for levels, etc, but always recorded it, just in case it needed to be pulled out of the bag after the above process.
Worked many times!
That's clever! It lowers the blood pressure lol! My mom wanted to show me a piano piece she had just found "mastery" over (she's a total beginner) so I excited said yes, let's hear it, take your time and don't mind mistakes.... and she was playing and saying things like "that's weird, it went so well yesterday..." Performance anxiety is basically its own instrument lol
Yeah man. The second you're "doing it for real" you think too hard about doing it right instead of just DOING it right
Rob picked up the sax and started blowing like he's covering Moon Hooch
20:11 The contrast between Rob tearing it up on the sax and Adam standing like a disappointed dad got a good chuckle outta me
As a jazz saxophonist, this did not disappoint. Absolutely loved all of this! Makes me really want to give this a try, I always thought it would be so much more complicated to put together a little jazz piece.
Can't wait to see Adam turn metal!
Makes me think of H. John Benjamin's music albums! Absolutely love it all!
Exactly what I was thinking! I think Adam mentioned (jokingly) that "Well I Should Have..." is one of his favorites in a q+a. Big Jon Benjamin vibes
I love Adam's take on metal
I was dying seeing no one looked up fingering for a C and then spent some time trying to figure out why an open C# sounded so... sharp.
wait archer /Bob Belcher is a musician?
@@jedinxf7 That was my reaction too! lol
lmao I love Rob playing a C# on the sax - I mean, technically Adam was right, it's a C, just really sharp
I play rhythm guitar in a bigband and it was very fascinating watching Rob figure out how boring guitar is in this genre haha
Idk man jazz guitar can be great in like a gypsy jazz thing or on a ballad vibe w no piano
When Rob was playing the sax for the first time he was actually playing a C# (No keys pressed) but he made it sound so flat with his lips that Adam thought it was a very sharp C.
Please do more collabs together, the chemistry here is insane 💛
Absolutely! And seeing people try out new things like this is a lot of fun
Rob really should be in a future sungazer song, I feel like the energy he brings to his music really matches up to a lot of sungazer music. I especially could see him playing on a song like DRUNK (ua-cam.com/video/0BRxDp2u02U/v-deo.html), Sequence Start (ua-cam.com/video/of_BPHHHY1w/v-deo.html), or even possibly THICC (ua-cam.com/video/SaaUpqf4kJc/v-deo.html).
+
Adam doing metal was a nice one as well!
this video feels like two programmers talking about an obscure feature of some programming language/API and prototyping stuff and i love it
Obviously Adam loves to teach Jazz and has made it his whole thing, but you can REALLY see his passion come through in this one. Was so much fun to see!
Man it's so cool getting to see Adam get super excited like this. He's usually so reserved on his channel, watching him gush over you on the piano section was so fun.
As a bari sax player, I’m lightly impressed with Rob’s sax playing
*nintendo-smash the sax* "I found another button halfway through"
im surprised he was able to get a sound out
@@ArsenalTheProtogen as a tenor sax player: I'm not. I maintain that tenor is probably the easiest of any of the single reeds. Just slap your face on and blow and something will come out. Will it be good? No. But it's certainly more reassuring than bursting a blood vessel on a more resistive smaller reed. Bari reeds will move even easier, but it requires a lot more air to support. Tenor is right in the sweet spot
@@stevedotwav none of that matters because literally none of that is the difficult part for any lifelong musician like rob. its not the first time hes blown a reed instrument whatsoever. once youve tried a few you should easily have the intuition to pick up the rest easily.
Rob seems like he would pass out doing actual rhythm guitar, he cannot be contained lol
I love Rob's incredulous "really?!" Shows how much learning is going on
I love how in metal rock etc. bass is almost an afterthought but in Jazz it's this God everyone looks to for guidance
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS!
HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

“For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
Tbh i think in most GOOD music everybody is looking towards the bassist and drummer for guidance
I would say in metal both guitars and bass generate a block of sound so they act like a single instrument if that make sense, so its individual importance diminishes, but 90% of the presence of the strings is still on the bass
“…And Justice For All” proves how unimportant bass is in metal.
@@frostythesasquatch Its kind of meant to be a joke.. bass is important in all genres, without it metal and rock especially would feel very naked in the low end
Rob playing sax to the tune of adam being disappointed is hilarious
Yeah...the "That not was on purpose" strat on faking your way through have worked before :)
As someone who played in a jazz band for 6 years, I learned so much about these two videos about arrangement and composition that I never picked up playing the saxophone
Watching this one, I now understand why Adam thought of 'I love you mom' for his lyrics. I like that there's a common lyrical thread running through these two pieces.
Is this a breakdown of djazz? I am ready for my ego to be broken again.
Edit: I love seeing Adam emote and have fun like this. He's always so stoic in everything I see him in. It's kind of a breath of fresh air seeing him laugh and smile.
I know, right? I love seeing him have fun with some of his musician friends, it's like "holy shit, he is actually human and can let himself go and show emotion" 😂
I can't express how much pain I was in when Adam said "yeah that's a C just really sharp" when Rob had no keys pressed on the sax.
I nearly fainted when he looked up how to lip down down the note.
For those unaware, holding down no keys gets you a C# but Rob, with no developed mouth muscles, was playing disastrously flat, giving the sharp C. Lipping down made the note even more flat.
I play sax for close to 20 years and I died a little inside.
@@delirium3181 well, pretty sure this was Rob's first time playing Sax. And Adam isn't a sax player either, so he is def not the best to teach it.
@@aringrey it was his second time
You mean it was as if neither of them knew anything about playing sax? Oh wait..
They didn't even try to look up a fingering chart!! Hahahahaha
Jazz explained in a wonderful way!
"I'm missing you, mom." Had me dying. It's so sweet but also it was a good song too 👍
INCLUDING TODAY
LOL I love you guys, this collab needs to be a whole ass show on a regular basis, just you two stumbling over genres together, bring in a third person as an expert. This shit is GENIUS.
Seconded!
If they put that on Netflix, I‘d extend my subscription.
yes please! Adam and Rob do.... Punk Rock! Pop Ballad, Soul, Folk!
The only person that could be the ‘expert’ is Rick Beato. And after every explanation he has to say, ‘like that’.
My dad has been a jazz musician for over 50 years. I've been playing metal drums over 20. Never could make that connection, but this is changing that completely. Absolutely fascinating.
You should absolutely get on that, buddy. Some of the most interesting metal I've ever heard often has jazz influences in its foundation. The drummer of Gojira, my favorite metal band, went to a jazz academy and his creative, groovy drumming is the core reason the band's music is so great
@@solcrac9445 my favorite drummer :D
honestly my entire drumming style has been formed around listening to gojira lol
It would be cool to hear Adam and his buds actually do this properly considering there are some really nice notes in the tune. And same for Rob to do Adam's metal song in full death lol. The tunes deserve it!
This partnership is so delightful. Watched the metal one first and then came to this one. I actually love that you were time restricted also - the anxiety of getting the song recorded quickly makes both videos all the more entertaining!
"i don't understand how to get any other notes," he said, while having no fingers on any of the pearls. i died inside, fantastic video
Saw Adam's metal debut first. This was great to see musicians venture in genres they are unfamiliar with. Gives new appreciation for other styles.
And both of you look like you had too much fun! That's what it's all about.
The whole sax part had me CRYING with laughter I love both these guys and seeing them together is like the best kind of music nerd energy
The sax track sounds like a wheezing asthmatic goose with bad phlegm and then Rob clears his throat into the mic 🤣
9:45 "VOICE LEA-DING!" That cracked me up
Same
Don't I know you?
i love how hyped adam gets with the piano melody. that's what music is all about
that saxophone solo slaps yooo 🔥🔥
I anxiously await the upcoming Neely Scallons album. Featuring Rob on sax, accompanied by Adam on drums.
Rob looks so sad while playing the drums lmao
I’m extremely late to this but the fact that rob missed the keys on the sax is hilarious to me
THE best collab I never thought I needed. Love both you guys
It's funny to see Adam holding Rob back for this whole video after seeing Rob egg Adam on for the entirety of the metal video
Incredible collab between you two! I already loved jazz just at a casual level, but seeing the techniques come together in such a concrete way was something else. Piecemeal building up the tune. And both of you are so knowledgeable that you're just leaking insight left and right
The sax part was hysterical.
Thank you guys. This and the sister metal video are the best thing I've watched on screen for WEEKS!
You forgot the most important part of playing saxophone - always blame the reed
He f*ckin' KILLED it! Intonation and totally wrong hand position/fingerings aside, that's incredible that he managed to work the sax so well
If it works, can it really be considered wrong?
You can note that he has bad intonation, fingering, and other stuff, which while it will not ruin making good music will be noted as a weakness of the player when they try stuff that needs to use more of those things.
@@iantaakalla8180 I think the biggest weakness to note is that he is not a sax player lol
@@spracketskooch I mean, kind of. I don't play sax either, but know the basics, and basically Rob was doing the equivalent of playing open strings on a guitar, except there is only one string, and 1 extra fret he figured out. While it's fairly impressive what he managed to accomplish with those 2 sounds, there's absolutely no versatility in that playing method.
I'd more ascribe this to his skill as a musician. There's a joke about how a musician just needs 2 random noises, and make a song out of it, and Rob definitely proves that part true.
The rough camera work with the master class level still shots is really making this an amazing video
Both vids were so much fun to watch, thanks a ton to both of you, and the crew :-)
This was everything I needed in life. Amazing collab!
Absolute banger. Robs ability to jump into basically any instrument(besides sax) and play it with heart still astounds me! You’re a true jazzer now
Well, I think he also put heart on the sax part, like, no technique whatsoever but lots of heart.
@@gab_gallard I cannot disagree with this 😅
what an awesome duo!! this was a lot of fun an also incredible informative, keep up the duo hahaha
these 2 videos you collaborated are the best thing ever! Awesome!
There’s no words that can describe how happy this makes me to see these two in the same place ❤️
Wow, "I don't know how to play the sax" is one thing, but I kind of expected Adam to at least know which buttons Rob's fingers should be on. Trilling was a great idea, though. That was my go-to for "I don't know wtf to play in my solo" in middle school jazz band. Works wonders.
These two videos have been amazing guys, really enjoyed them both. As a metalhead with a finger in the jazz guitar pie I found both videos so entertaining and a bit educational too. Great videos!
I LOVED this collaboration! Both videos were excellent!
At first it was "how many instruments can you play?" - Rob: "yes."
Now it's "how many styles can you play?" - Rob: "yes."
...While improvising on an instrument he has no connection to and handled for a total of 15 minutes
Rob Scallon on his ongoing quest to learn all of music.
and still Adam tells him where to find Bb on a piano lol
the sax is the perfect representation of "repetition legitimizes"
The energy and passion of these two are so complimentary! The cross over we all needed
I learned so much about Jazz music watching this. I think it's a briliant way of making music. Adam is such a good teacher and Rob is such a talanted musican!
Now time for the ultimate test. Both of them write and record an orchestral piece of music.
With Alex Moukala being the "teacher"!
Adam studied composition, and he does compose, not fair really.
Adam already did this on David Bruce Composer's channel and it was great
With Twoset Violin
As a metal guitar player who recently started to find joy in listening to jazz music this video is incredibly interesting! And I feel like I even learned something about jazz while being perfectly entertained. 👍
I love how much joy your getting out of adapting your knowledge to new stuff
I really like the dynamic between them! I hope they'll make more videos together.
Turns out when Rob plays the sax it is a halfway between A and Bb instrument
ah yes, A‡
When you suck at the saxophone so you play microtones.
Judging by what Rob usually plays, I feel like he would've done a better job at (and would probably enjoy) playing the more modern style of jazz. But this is cool!
Maybe, but it's much more complex on a lot of the instruments, isn't it? If you only have an hour and a half, I think this sort of basic old jazz makes sense.
This is more easy to do in 1 hour tho, so i think it was the right choice mayhaps. Also its like a crash course in the basics which I think was better in terms of learning probably
@@NZsaltz Yeah fair point! But I feel like modern jazz in the likes of artists such as Ari Hoenig, Hiromi and Kurt Rosenwinkel would be right up his alley. Rob has played some pretty advanced complex music on the channel. (Even if it its not jazz)
Also he got Adam to play in the newer style of progressive metal in the other video and not traditional metal music like Iron Maiden so I was assuming the same thing was gonna happen here.
@@LMVtron1 Adam absolutely did not play prog metal. What he did was metalcore, a modern but simple genre, probably the easiest to play of any metal genre barring drone. Iron Maiden would've been more difficult except for maybe the double bass drumming.
Adam, Rob and Brandon Acker need to make a classical jazz-metal fusion band and dominate every genre at once.
This is my favorite thing Adam has made since I saw the metal side of this collab. So great to see y'all teaching each other the essential elements of the genres. 11:55: This is my favorite thing Adam has said. As someone studying jazz, this was very informative. Very advanced outside playing by Rob on sax.
Rob/H Jon Benjamin jazz collab album confirmed
I know Rob's channel since 2014, and Adam's since 2016 and always wanted this kind of collab, I'm soooo happy !!!!
Thank both of you for your incredible music work
Every video Rob has been posting lately is a gem, keep up the good work you re amazing and full of ideas
love the shirt, shout out intuition. Rob always representing!!
This is a scam, don’t respond
I'd love to see the unedited hour long version of this and just see how truly chaotic it was
I hate that Rob casually walks up to the piano and immediately knows what to do why does he know everything?
I mean Rob does know how to play Piano, there are a couple of videos on this channel from like 10 years ago playing some piano songs
Piano is very similar to guitar
Have you seen him rollerblade? This guy is just stupidly good at everything he does.
@@grivoc Except saxophone apparently. Lol
piano is just guitar that actually makes sense, be a pianist, save yourself the hassle of learning the amalgamation that is guitar tuning
