Im getting a music degree just in case someone asks me if I went to college
I have one, it's not useful per say but i like having something that tells me i'm good at something lol
I want one just so I can be called a Doctor and so I can post music theory theseus... yes you can punch me
I spent 2 years trying to get a BFA in Musical Theatre lol I'm glad I got out of that. I'm trying to get into an audio engineering program soon but I'll try to be a cool sound guy
Loved this

imo pop music nowadays is better than it was 5-10 years ago, but not 20-30, if that makes sense
Hard to say, tbh. 30 years ago there was a more unobtainable entry level because of the technology of recording and distribution. Lots of pop music today gets a bad reputation because it's so much easier to make and distribute songs, which lets a lot more of the garbage through compared to the industry of the 70's- mid 00's

When I opened this video I expected to actually agree with most of the things Judy says in this video.
I watched it. I agreed with most of the things Judy said or agreed with.
10/10 would wear a mic on a stupid ass hat again
Yup
This video confirmed that Uncle Judy believes Tim Henson is as revolutionary as Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix.
Pretty much will be
Hot take
Proves that he's got a kinda crappy taste in music but i still like him
The ony thing is i don't see tim inspiring non-guitarists to pick up a guitar, infact tim is probably a bit intimidating. But tim is certainly the new van halen for people who are already familiar with the guitar (I may be completely wring on this but who knows)
@@Jerry-tg2lj Nah, picked up guitar cuz of tim. Can play the goat riff now.
very valid points! my girlfriend and my best friend have been getting me into current pop music/artists and it’s obviously not at all like the progressive shit, emo garbage, nu-core, and other stuff I typically listen to but it’s still really well made and enjoyable! Music is music and as long as I can see the creativity behind it my respect will follow.

This guy is incredible based, Uncle Judy should mean:
The BASED musician.
based pfp
Have a music degree, can confirm. I should have learned how to weld or something.
Best thing I ever did was start listening to other kinds of music. I used go only listen to metal, now it makes up probably less than half of what I listen to. Now it's stuff like lil aaron, pale waves, KiNG MALA and the dead south. Learning other music has also helped me grow as a bass player.
Pale Waves is amazing
Nice
It's incredible. You're incredible, I mean..
Satriani is a pretty cool guy *flashes like every bald guy in existence*
Great book called Talent Is Overrated, and there are some great interviews with goated guitar players that basically say that if talent exists its extremely small and the odds that the person finds what they're actually good at is even smaller, beast take tbh
sounds dumb and corny but in my opinion the musicians without talent are more likely of the two to stick around. sorta like the mentality that the more you work for something the more it means to you. at least that’s what i’m hoping
Fun fact: If you listen to the halo 3 theme you listen to a Steve Vai song.
That *is* a fun fact.

When it comes to pop music, I don’t hate it, in fact there’s some songs I appreciate as someone wanting to get into song writing. But I don’t put them in my playlist on Spotify because of how often I’ll here them outside of that. It’s kinda why I don’t put songs like Hotel California or bohemian rhapsody in a playlist.
forreal like they are such obvious picks and Spotify gives those songs more attention than other songs
Seriously: judy rants are the best thing and I love to just hear your opinion. positive words my friend, and as a reminder this is your platform and you're free to speak on whatever topics you choose. Thank you for your dedication, keep up the great work.
Natural talent absolutely exists. I wanted to be an artist when I was a little kid… and I tried my ass off to learn how to draw and paint. It hit me in art class in 7th grade that most of the kids in my class were way more intuitive in that area and I lacked the natural ability in that medium… despite dedication.
On the other hand, I never had to even try with music. I just knew it.
The disadvantage with having a lot of natural ability is that it can make you lazy in the area you have it in…. If that makes sense.
Natural ability is also like a fingerprint. No two people have it exactly the same.
But, hey, that’s just my opinion, man.
MUM I MADE IT INTO THE UNCLE JUDY CONTENT, WOOOOOOOOOOO
oh also, this rant style video was very entertaining. more would be cool :)
I feel like what you're describing as soul is more so how you summarized it- as personal connection to the instrument. I think that comes from how much the instrument allows somebody to express themselves. For example, some of the most brilliant classical guitarist's and pianist's seem like such reserved, non-expressive people. Then they play and you can see emotion practically pour out of them. Music is an outlet for personal expression, so that's how I logic it all out. LOVE YOUR SHIT THO JUDE THE DUDE KEEP IT UP B-]
Natural talent is real. Aptitude exists for all skills.
Natural talent in instruments is simply just being genetically predisposed to have a desirable trait. Things like inheriting good ears, dextrous hands, good lung capacity and/or having the physical capacity to make music, which in itself, is a talent considering that some people are born completely incapable of playing an instrument or singing as well as the average person.
I second this, I also think the “soul” he is talking about is an intuitive understanding and appreciation for music in general, not just a specific instrument.
My friend and I both started playing guitar at roughly the same time a couple years back and we eventually drifted apart because I was picking it up a lot faster than him, the only real difference was that I was deeply passionate about music and he wasn’t
@@abr3690 I didn't mention this because I believe that soul is nurtured throughout development and not something people are born with. It does definitely seperate the great from the average. Keep playing, bro!
I have an issue with number 5, sure they sound good in every circumstance and they're convenient, but they sure as hell make everyone sound the same as well. Okay, when everyone was using Marshall amps that was kind of the same thing, but the speaker, the room, the mic placement, everything else in the signal chain all give it the chaos it needs to sound different. Amp sims are great for making demos though, I use them for that.
Additionally doesn't it feel good to have an amp rumbling behind you on stage?
I love everything you say in this video. "Pop music getting better because its more of an art now", thats a fact. I think mainstream music in general is getting better so thats cool. Also its cool that you are calling out all those metal elitists and the technical zombies that lack the simplicity. Respect for you my sir, you are gonna go far sir.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not😂
@@user-fv3kl7dc9n im not
"Lack simplicity" like imagine strutting up to guthrie Govan and saying "dude take some inspiration from pop, learn to play simple".
@@charlesmartiniii1405 there is literally a comment below mine saying your guthrie govan said “It doesn’t matter if it’s fast or complex if it isn’t musical”. Go play scales.
@@PuncakeGamingVG bruh music theory is one of my favorite parts about music. And sure I'll "practice my scales" along with the circle of 5ths, 4ths, triads, arpeggios, altered dominance and the like. Theres nothing wrong with simplicity and playing slow if you utilize it well aka b.b king, miles Davis, and Dave grohl. But most of the time its an excuse to be lazy with songwriting. Why play slow if your doing nothing interesting with the chord changes. I get it though alot of people take it to far but at the end of the day I think virtuosity for the most part pairs directly to complexity and by extension feel.
I want to apperaciate u for video man i was becoming a elitist and stucked in that mentality like a stepsister and u save me from that you are a real stepbro man u saved me and make me remember everything thanks for that
And now that I’ve finished the video you have become my favorite music channel.
The pop music thing is on point, I honestly think it’s kinda thanks to SoundCloud/UA-cam and even Bandlab.
10:00 I think you are talking about passion. If someone who is really passionate about the instrument he is playing, he will put a lot more effort into his hobby than someone with less passion. Some people are willing to take more effort and more frustration on their way than others and you can hear it. You can sum up all the hours of practice, someone who is not passionate enough can put tousands of hours into practice and won't play as good as as someone who is really passionate and only practiced for hundrets of hours. Passion is the limit of how much shit you are willing to take before you quit.
Thing with pop music, is that some time ago, there was a bunch of trash pop music, and few extremely great and legendary artists, and now, there's just a bunch of good/decent artists
I'm glad KDH turned me onto Uncle Judy!!!feeling this Channel!!!🤘👍
Actually surprised with how many good takes are in this video. I like how you were able to tie it all up with a running theme.
I would be bored as heck if I am gonna get a music degree
7:25 I think the same thing applies for metal guitarists after yngwie malmesteen became famous: almost all guitarists in the 80's tried to copy either his style or EVH's.
you definitely became my favorite youtuber. inlove u judy
OK wtf just happened. I was watching the reaction from Nik on your "fighting guitar youtubers" or whatever and I have seen some of your other vids before but jesus, why was this vid so emotional towards the end? You had some great takes on creativity and music opinion, I respect you for advising others to have an open mind cause I feel it's the only thing that holds back this insanity that is politics and all sorts of discussion, be it music or no. I came in this vid expecting goofy things but holy shit, you caught me off guard in all the best ways.
Great points! I think every one goes through that elitist phase of what ever hobby they enjoy but I think being open minded is better for your own and everyone elses mental health. Great video!
This was pretty fucking cool and informative a bit. I think it's super cool to have a conversation about this shit as opposed to bashing these opinions. Great video Judy
So this is the first video Of yours that I have ever watched and I subscribed 35 seconds in because of what you said about solo guitarists!!!
All I would say on the natural talent one is that shape recognition can definitely be a key factor in learning instruments/theory and different people are naturally born with different levels of shape recog.
cool video, i agree with most of the statements. however i cant agree with 'pop music has gotten better', and i try to stay updated. but just look at early pop Michael Jackson or some 90' stuff and compare with todays pop. to me there is a huge differenence in feeling and authenticity also creativity.
"You're gonna go far kid."
Thanks uncle :,)
My problem with pop is it goes through phases of vapid party dance shit, or sad shit having a bpm lower than my resting heartrate
When pop can have fun without being vapid it comes out incredibly good
Outstanding vid. Has a more serious, genuine tone. I truly enjoy these more when you don't mention "wanting to die" etc. With that in mind I hope you're doing well in that area of your well being. Clearly hittin le gym. Heyooo! Keep it up :)
Found your channel the other day. Love your attitude.
I really like Greta Van Fleet. And a friend of mine who's a massive LZ fan appreciates them a lot too.
Honestly this is the best thing I’ve seen in ages. Judy really did a great fucking job
As someone who's taught music lessons to kids... Talent DEFINITELY exists.
But it doesn't reflect skill level, only how fast youre able to pick new things up. Its like a musical IQ in a way...
I know more shit about the universe than Socrates did but I'm not saying I'm more clever than him
Talent exists but someone with less talent who practices more can reach the same level or beyond the level of the more talented player
Eh, I wouldn't call that talent, as talent refers to natural ability/skill. I personally don't think talent exists really.
Though you're 100% right that anyone surpass someone with more experience by working hard and honing you skills.
It also is worth mentioning that people learn at different speeds. Finding the right methods to teach each individual helps.
6:43 as a school of rock kid i completely stand behind your statement.
good video uncle judy cant wait to see your guitar solo in front of the whole family on thanksgiving
Yeah all of these are true except for number 8, talent does exist. And that message at the end was on point.
I'm glad you mentioned the thought of "soul" behind someone's playing alongside the opinion concerning talent. Cause while I also think talent doesn't exist, the fact that some less experienced musicians can sound 10x better than those who put in the same hours is undeniable. Some people may find it too vague but simply put, I see it as someone that is really into what they're playing. That specific sound can come either by someone who really feels what they're playing, or someone who just knows what feeling specific notes convey using their big brain knowledge.
And to apply it to when kids are just learning an instrument, how passionate they are, and their environment could play a huge part of what allows them to pick up on certain things that allow them to play in way that other musicians can't.
tldr
some peeps just know how to make simple sound good
i'm glad i got to see this video before it's banned, someone should make a copy and reupload it just in case
This is a very important video. Sharing these "unpopular" opinions lets others that agree with you know they aren't alone in their feelings. So thank you for this.
I disagree about pop music getting better IN MOST CASES. There are some AMAZING pop artists nowadays. Lil Nas X, Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes, Camilla Cabello, Dua Lipa, among many others. But 2000-2010 pop is just unbeatable. Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Ne-Yo, Shakira, Adelle, and stuff like that. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I feel that was the golden age for pop music.
Thanks for the amazing video Judy
I think with time we will see
I feel exactly the same. I feel like in many cases pop isn't meant to be really deep, so 00's was just great with all the light hearted optimistic party songs. But in the 10's although I surely see some interesting artists, they tend to take stuff way more seriously, and I feel that kind of collapses on themselves sometimes. And specifically I really don't get what people see in Dua Lipa, her voice sounds absolutely boring to me.
He said 'last decade'. I think pop music nowadays (olivia rodrigo, Dua Lipa, BTS, The Weeknd, J Cole, Billie etc) are miles ahead creatively, musically and emotionally (all subjective!!) over Kesha, BoB, Taio Cruz, Tinie Tempah, JAY-Z of the 2010's!
I always felt like 2000's era music had a very uncomfortably empty or airy sound to it. Like people were just getting used to digital recording.
Now way more producers really are treating the DAW as the truly versatile instrument that it is. Like holy shit "Bad guy" was just a straight boring blues, but the production just makes it such a journey to listen to
Well I ain't listening to "there's some hoes in the house ×10" .
Ngl i have started to enjoy more of the pop music coming out today, it seems some of the pop artists from the last 5 years are realy switching it up. Ive been realy enjoying bruno mars's stuff recently and the weeknds new album.
I absolutely agree with the soul thing. I love music, I love guitar, I love the theory. But damn this shit does not come easy for me. I enjoy it very much so I'll just keep going forward with it.
metal/punk guitarist here,
recently i've really been getting into like 80th synthpop and stuff like that and i think like exploring the giant universe that music is can be one of the most intresting things you can do idk
I think it depends on which pop artists you look at, like considering someone like cardi b, I would not say it has gotten better. But when someone can put depth into their lyrics and the song can leave an impression, that would be better pop music.
judy: no one will listen to all technical shit for more than 5 minutes.
technical death metal: *uuuhhh*
Yea or like any prog band.
As far as natural talent, I think that's someone who can do something special with less. Like the guy who practices 8 hours a day but has no imagination or creativity versus the guy who knows some basic chords and scales yet can write an insane melody and riff that moves somebody. Like John Dwyer or Kurt Cobain I think that's natural talent
Ah, I see you covered that basically with the soul definition. I agree
There’s some good stuff in just about every genre, my favorite pop band is IDKHowButTheyFoundMe, awesome sound and great vocalist
Bruh, first time I see you more honest and not in a thicc onion layer of sarcasm, very good video c:
i personally love midwest emo kind of technicality. bands like Tiny Moving Parts and TTNG kind of technicality, because despite of those constant complex riffs all over their songs, there is soul within them. but other than that, 100% agree on everything u said lmao.
I can agree with the “soul” thing. Bough my parents spent a long time trying to learn guitar and just couldn’t get it. I picked it up pretty quick. I’m not a pro or anything but I think I’m ok.
The soul thing is so spot on, and if im not mistaken, you do have it.
The Polgar experiment did prove training over natural talent.
Remember Beth Hart's rule, "No Noodling."
Current pop music is just lacking that instrumental and vocal kick. When it's added by cover artists, then it sounds pretty good.
0:20 Preach it brother. Preach.
For the "Soul" player you should have picked David Glimour or Ritchie Blackmore as an example.
Both are rreeeaaally overrated in my opinion
*not both, just gilmour
Ritchie blackmore i would actually call underrated even though his general rating is already pretty high but it doesn't do him justice imo

Dude ... I'm 44 fucking years old and agree w/ literally 99% of what you just said . And yes !! I've been made fun of BY ALL OF THE (Idk , current , at the time , pop lovers ???) generations !! I grew up hearing Country / disco & classic rock in my house as a kid . I remember the birth of hip-hop / rap AND LOVED IT (Sugar Hill , DMC , Big Daddy Kane , Whodini , Fat Boys , ETC , THEN saw Metallica play "One" at the grammys ands it just made me LOVE the guitar .... It felt like something new and nothing i've ever heard . IT INSPIRED ME !!! I paid a local friend ($10) to teach me how to play it and the reason he charged me is cuz he said "If youve never played guitar before you just wont get it "(ONE .... Really ??? )BUT I GOT IT . And I have not stopped since . No , I'm not great or even good . But I can play most of my favorite guitar heroes songs and I STILL FUCKING LOVE IT!!! EDIT : I really shouldnt say "heroes" but they were more inspirations .... I kept finding more "INSPIRATIONS" and that helped me grow as a guitar player .
Love the psychedsubstance cameo
"Its something that you cant teach they just have, i dont know what to call it"...talent
I noticed the exact points about Pop Music too. Even Mainstream machine Justin Bieber made some respectable stuff i dont particularly listen too but actually has some musical value.
Some pop artists are good now but I think peak pop music is early 2000s. I could be blinded by nostalgia but it was fun.
I agree

The word for "spice" you were looking for was aptitude.
Some people most definitely can have more natural aptitude to music in general.
No doubt just as some people have more natural aptitude for sports (body composition and inherent flexibility) some people have more aptitude towards playing instruments (could be dexterity or perfect pitch).
These things do not make a great musician at the end of the day but they will sure get you off the starting block.
For people who don't think natural talent exist, just consider the opposite. Do some people absolutely suck at music and can't do anything musical to save their life no matter how hard they try? YES. Those people do exist. they are most people.
