One of my music teachers said “if you hit the wrong note while improvising just keep circling back to it. It convinces the listener it’s supposed to be there.
I used to play a lot of loop guitar, typically 7-8 second loops. Whenever I played an unintended note, I had about 7 seconds to figure out how to resolve that note so that it sounded intentional. Some of my best loops came from these kinds of 'mistakes'.
A lot of music theory is learning a certain set of rules that makes the music make sense. However, pretty much anything that you study will start off with rules, and end with you finding ways to break them. That's how things progress.

well you actually have to play the consequence xD if it's just in your head how is anyone supposed to know what your idea was for that little weirdo note?
That’s a very good quote actually Like you can say that in life to « I don’t know why you are never stoping studying, you are missing your youth » « it just hasn’t found its consequence yet »
in my cultural music, there is something called (translated to english) "sweet misnote?". where we purposely sing a wrong note. but still somehow sound pleasant to the ear. looks like weve done that breaking rule for centuries... in every arts i encounter including painting, dancing, filmaking, and in this case music, the rules were still needed for initial understanding, otherwise it will become chaos... but after that, the rule breaking itself becomes beautiful arts. in music, two rule breaking things that i like the most are that "sweet misnote", and different instruments play in different time signature simultaneously...
@@alhfgsp now That u ask, i'm wondering too... hard to explain in words.. But i think it's in the overall composition... if we purposely sing a B note or Bb note in a C major chords, they just become CM7 or C7. Or some chords we already knew... Doesnt seems too impressive... So i think the composition play a role, where the placing of the sweetmisnote will give such weird sound, but unexpectedly pleasant...
This is inspriing not only for musicians but also as a life advice: There is no wrong decisions or useless experience. It all depends on how you see and treat them. Trust the process and be confident and positive, you will figure things out. Thanks Jacob.
I love that a lot of life is about interpretation. Wrong decisions can absolutely be made, but whether you use THAT experience to do something positive with it, will determine if it's a wasted opportunity or not.
this resonates so deeply with the way that I currently view the art of dance/movement and compositional principles. the more flexible with contexts and what flow means, the more possibilities there are. so exciting to have come across this particular video and to have more insight on your artistic views!! :)
It is just amazing how these ideas apply to more global aspects of life - that there are no wrong life decisions, and everything can be validated and justified through a proper consequence, and at that very moment "everything makes sense". And rather than rejecting something, you should be finding that next "chord" - and it will turn out exceptionally beautiful❤ This is profound and life-changing, thank you🌠
I don't play piano, ive started the guitar but this advice transends more than just music...music is a great teacher and philosopher to many things, i appreciate this knowledge!
If you replace the word "note" with "person", and the word "chord" with "environment", this will suddenly turn into a heartwarming motivational speech.
Music Theory I - "There are rules" Music Theory II - "You can break some rules" Music Theory III - "You can break most rules" Music Theory IV - "Hmm rules are kind of stupid" Jacob Collier - "There aren't really any rules"
There are "rules" depending on genre. For example if you want to compose baroque or romantic music from the classical era, then there are rules that you should follow to compose for those specific genres, but if you are to compose a more contemporary and modern classical piece, or maybe pop/rock, or even metal, then those rules/guidelines doesn't apply anymore, it's all about context, genre and what you want to compose. Most of the great classical composers did in fact follow some rules and guidelines, and there is a reason for that since music and harmony works in a specific way. But yes, music is an art form and you can do whatever you want with music at the same time, as long as you think it sound good for yourself that's the most important thing. Additionally, I would say that it's essential and important for all musicians to study music theory and harmony on at least a basic level, just to learn how frequencies, dissonances and overtones work, why they work that way and how to treat them. With this knowledge, you can choose when to break the rules, why to do it and thus having complete control knowledge over what you do with your music.
It's usually around Music Theory II-III where you realize that these are just rules for a very specific type of music and are irrelevant for most other types, but you still have to finish the sequence to graduate.

when you've been playing the keys for 5 minutes and its fine and then the part where you sing backup vocals starts to approach and the microphone decides to go home
Was doing backup/keys for a concert in our college back then and my mic just started bowing down on me 😂 Thankfully, the Student Affairs Head was kind enough to fix it for me.
He played that first chord set and I immediately thought it sounded like something from BotW. It kinda made me realize how they use that weird dissonance in the music to create a really unique atmosphere that you just wont really find elsewhere.
This is basically any subject: The more advanced you go, the more you realize that everything you were told was "wrong" at some earlier stage of learning can actually be made correct somehow.
my god is your comment profound beyond profound! Its like one of those wise realizations you come to after reaching an unrealsitic amount of experitise in a subject...
You're oversimplifying but I like where your head is at. A lot of people have this assumption that you have to be taught or told by an "expert" of any given subject to give creedence to the subject to which you are referring. But what I've always realized is that SOMEONE had to figure things out on their own to write about the subject you're learning. With that said, I firmly believe some people really are "naturals" and they are meant to do the "thing" they do. Jacob is a very clear example of this idea. He just "gets it". Thus the phrase, "you can't teach that."
This is me when I was studying the philosophical and axiomatic foundations of mathematics. I used to think math was the one subject that was true and impenetrable, but that notion quickly fell apart upon further study.
1:34 "I don't think you should ever reject a note from a chord before trying all of the possible solutions to that chord." Words to live by as a musician.

No, he said every problem has a solution. He didn't say fuck around and out, and he said work out and resolve the dissonant notes stepwise or chromatically in the next chord. I know you're part joking but that's a very reductive take
@@cyanhallows7809 I would have suspected he had another intentions with such statement, and of course i was totally joking. Either way im glad someone actually managed to take a joke.
@Kristopher Chavez You don't understand. - his point does not boil down to fuck around and find out. His point boils down to every note being accessible under any harmony in the under the right execution. Trial and error, or just doing what you want is perhaps good advice, but it is not what Jacob is saying in this paticular video. Your example of a house being built on a foundation is beyond stupid. That is just a factual statement where as the comment I responded to was I as mentioned, a reduction and a misconstruction of the point. I understand the intial comment was in a jovial sprit. Your comment clearly isn't. If you want to call me an elitist prick Kristopher, you can

And it's still the most pretentious way to explain what he is trying to convey. This guy is a horrible teacher. The only master class he teaches is how to say everything in the most convoluted way possible so everyone goes, "oooh, what a musical genius."
A quote I recently came across “To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” - Beethoven I don’t think it’s about the note, it’s about what’s behind it
That is kind of an applicable quote and yet also it's not. Classical is very rigid in that the expectation which is to follow what's written to the tiniest of details and then yes add your passion aka emotive interpretation to it...without being too individualized in your interpretation. That's why Glenn Gould was so loved by some and so disliked by others because he did what he wanted in interpretation... Jazz on the other hand is so much focused on improvisation that it's hard to compare the two in expectation of where the music takes us. Yet, to play without the emotive quality that can only come from the heart, yes it is criminal and inexcusable. I play classical, church music and jazz and there is that special place in all different types of music where it just tugs the heart of those listening because they know it really came from my heart. I try to always play with my heart though I don't always get there, I know it makes a colossal difference when I do.
Interesting concept. I remember playing in a rock band with this lead guitar player who would actually land on a “wrong” note just so he could bend to the right one. It was so pleasing to hear him bend into the current chord.
Hello. I've uploaded a track called ODDITY. You'll find it in the playlist: Pop-Ballade I used the 4 chords that Jacob Collier gives as examples in this video. Pleasant discovery. JM.
This reminds me of an idea Victor Wooten was mentioning when he was talking about experimenting on bass licks, the idea is you are always technically a half step from the right note. So even if you make a mistake if you play it as if it were intentional and then resolve it, it was actually the right note all along
Me studying jazz: "Damn, I hit a bad note on the strong beat. Should I try to resolve it or hold that note until it resolves on its own?" Sax player: "Hold my beer."
This is great to see because our understanding of music in the west is very different from elsewhere. The middle east, for instance, makes great use of semitones that would sound "out of tune" to western ears but in the context of the style of music, it's beautiful. I recommend taking a look at Brandon Acker's video on the Arabic Oud.

He explains complicated concepts in such a simple way that even a none musician will understand ... you can only make things seem super simple when you have a more than expert understanding about them ... what a guy. He's modern day mozart basically.
Well said dude. Relatively speaking, I know very little about music from an educational standpoint. However, I'd like to think I have a pretty good ear. With that said, I am always intrigued and fixated on Jacob's videos. He's so immersed/meant to be with music that he can explain it to anyone on any level. There's a great video where he breaks music down for a child all the way up to Herbie Hancock. To paraphrase a common/cliche...but also very true...saying....If you can't explain it to a child, then you don't understand it enough.

Legitimately discovered this about music at the beginning of the year. My guitar playing dramatically improved. I used to stay on all the scales we know and love now I venture out into my own stuff and haven’t felt more creative in my life.
"hmm, how about we give this A a little friend. How about... a Db?" "Now what I love to do is add a little bit of piano just to compliment the trumpet. I think it adds some more personality to the music!" "Mr. Dan, now he's a wonderful guy, he sent me over these beautiful vocals, and it really gives this piece life. It's gone from a *slow swaying* to *head bobs*" "Now this is my favorite part of the piece. It's basically a few blips and blops, and they are basically talking with each other in order to kinda fill in the background."
And example from my youth: Nivana’s Man Who Sold the World. As Kurt was opening the solo, I always just thought the first two notes were a cool little intended dissonance that resolved into the third note. Never thought for a moment that he had actually made two mistakes before getting to the note he actually intended to slide up to. 😉
Agreed, that slide always catches me. Theres so much honesty in that performance. Theres a quality in honesty that showmanship can't make up for. Nirvana's version of Man who sold the world and disturbed version of Shout are the only covers ive head that are so good that I can't believe they're covers.
@@mr_space_toast1074 Johnny Cash’s cover or Hurt by Nine Inch Nails is another one that to me feels so incredibly authentic and personal that it’s hard to believe it’s a cover.
The greatest comfort when improvising is knowing that a friendly note is always waiting to save you and its sitting right next to the one that tried to ruin your day.
Nice to see the young'ins giving the same lectures that music teachers teaching Music Theory have been giving for decades. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Just Awesome.
Me: doing what Jacob wants I can follow my heart but I don't know what it has to offer, I need to know how to make things sound the way I want them to do On that note, anyone got advice for that? Getting the sound in your head on piano
It's crazy how much this sounds exactly like some chess ideas. It might sound weird but the idea that a note can be justified later on even though by many it might be considered a "wrong note" is like how really good chess players make moves that look ludicrous but a few moves later were brilliant shows of foresight and knowledge.
This applies to everything really, there are "incorrect beginner moves" when you're just starting out, then when you become really great at something, you can see the value in those "incorrect beginner moves" and start to use them in skillful ways.
I understand what you are saying but this analogy isnt really the best fitting for the example he is giving, in his example he is using he is saying that any note can FIND a possible combination of OTHER notes to fit in NOW - as in you playing a chord NOW. Whereas your chess analogy has to do with two different moments in time, when you play a move in chess that you will LATER come back to make use of, that is a very different concept of like sowing a plant and harvesting it way way in the future. Whereas his example is something that can be fixed in the very instance. For example you cant play a weird note and let it be, then move on, then play that note again and add to it - well actually hold on, now that i am thinking about it... if say he plays a C major chord then plays a random like single note hit of F# (the most dissonant note i can think of in a C major scale) that at this moment will sound weird and off.. but then if everytime he goes back to that F# and adds something to it that starts to closely tie it back to the C major scale, to "smoothen" then transition from F# into something can link back to C major.. i guess then in that sense it would be a smart reward for the listener, kind of like a piece of event in a movie that doesnt make sense and confusing, but everytime we revist it we give u more clues and more clues untill it finally somehow ties in with the main story. Sorry I am high, but you know what I guess you are right after all, I just in real time typed my thoughts coz im stoned, but super interesting thought

I’ll think this Is the most accurate way to explain music to someone to doesn’t have any clue to music reading and understanding. But not yet to listen and appreciate.
As someone who’s heard a lot of “wrong” notes from extremely confident players: there should be a huge asterisk attached to this statement. You gotta know what that note is doing to the harmony and that requires a LOT of study and you gotta play that note because you meant it
@@renhope9092 To clarify, 'Everybody" isn't required to study anything to hear how one note works with other notes. For instance, Wes Montgomery, one of the greatest of all time. Never touched a theory book and didn't read a note of score. You or i can do the same. You just have to love music.
@@toddkreuzburg4162 I should clarify as well: I’m not saying Jacob is wrong here at all. It’s just that as a professional musician and as a teacher I’ve run into a prevailing attitude of people who “play by feel” without realizing that they’re playing without intention. What he’s talking about in this video can’t replace an understanding of music, and I’m not talking about a theory book. Wes Montgomery clearly knew what he was playing, what the chords were, and which notes went with the chords. I’ll never argue that you need a theory book to do that. What I am arguing is that in order to play remotely like Wes, you need to learn a lot about music and can’t just stab in the dark, which is what I worry some will get from this video. That’s all
I agree with Jacob. There is no wrong, ever, just like there cannot be perfection. It’s really just a concept of the mind. It takes YOU to put what IS in whatever context you choose.
I feel concepts like these is easier to understand in color; red isn't wrong, it just doesn't necessarily look the best in all places. Sometimes it might surprise you how well it works tho

Of course extreme hypothesis can lead to bizarre conclusions. Having that said, yes absolutely, maybe in a different social context a person with those ideas and that personality would have never escalated in such a terrible thing. Keep in mind that is unlikely that a man can change the world by himself. If no soldier sign up there's no war. Of course is a complex and deep subject and my point was that music has always served as a bridge from alienated people to the world therefore the analogy I made sounds to me just right.
@@MarcoMazzuoccolo I was joking, but I do mostly agree. That being said I think there are still actions people take that are objectively wrong no matter the context

There are even wrong notes in jazz. But if you have confidence and know how to resolve it properly, then it works.

However, pretty much anything that you study will start off with rules, and end with you finding ways to break them. That's how things progress.

Because people composing music back in the day didn’t study music, they just made music to begin with then came music theory trying to study and learn from the OG composers

"This note hasn't faced the consequences of its existence"
“This note has yet to S U B M I T”
This chord progression is RAW!
Why did I read this in Top Gear voices
This took me out!
This is inspriing not only for musicians but also as a life advice: There is no wrong decisions or useless experience. It all depends on how you see and treat them. Trust the process and be confident and positive, you will figure things out. Thanks Jacob.
Doing crack is probably a wrong decision. Molesting children is a wrong decision. Let's not get stupid here bud.
I love that a lot of life is about interpretation. Wrong decisions can absolutely be made, but whether you use THAT experience to do something positive with it, will determine if it's a wasted opportunity or not.
this resonates so deeply with the way that I currently view the art of dance/movement and compositional principles.
the more flexible with contexts and what flow means, the more possibilities there are.
so exciting to have come across this particular video and to have more insight on your artistic views!!

The same principle can be applied to what he is wearing. "There is no wrong outfit, you just lack confidence."
YO haha
It's true though (to some extent). When you try a new, "weird" style and get used to it doesn't feel out of place anymore
That's actually a pretty smart take.
"its not an ahegao hoodie, its a work of art"
I'm pretty sure he repeats that saying in his head over and over in the morning
It is just amazing how these ideas apply to more global aspects of life - that there are no wrong life decisions, and everything can be validated and justified through a proper consequence, and at that very moment "everything makes sense". And rather than rejecting something, you should be finding that next "chord" - and it will turn out exceptionally beautiful❤ This is profound and life-changing, thank you🌠
I don't play piano, ive started the guitar but this advice transends more than just music...music is a great teacher and philosopher to many things, i appreciate this knowledge!
If you replace the word "note" with "person", and the word "chord" with "environment", this will suddenly turn into a heartwarming motivational speech.
The parallels are indeed that literal. We are all walking talking musical notes in the grand orchestra of life and we all have a unique note to play

Applies to basically everything
hahahaha fantastic comment
There are "rules" depending on genre. For example if you want to compose baroque or romantic music from the classical era, then there are rules that you should follow to compose for those specific genres, but if you are to compose a more contemporary and modern classical piece, or maybe pop/rock, or even metal, then those rules/guidelines doesn't apply anymore, it's all about context, genre and what you want to compose. Most of the great classical composers did in fact follow some rules and guidelines, and there is a reason for that since music and harmony works in a specific way. But yes, music is an art form and you can do whatever you want with music at the same time, as long as you think it sound good for yourself that's the most important thing.
Additionally, I would say that it's essential and important for all musicians to study music theory and harmony on at least a basic level, just to learn how frequencies, dissonances and overtones work, why they work that way and how to treat them. With this knowledge, you can choose when to break the rules, why to do it and thus having complete control knowledge over what you do with your music.
It's usually around Music Theory II-III where you realize that these are just rules for a very specific type of music and are irrelevant for most other types, but you still have to finish the sequence to graduate.

He played that first chord set and I immediately thought it sounded like something from BotW. It kinda made me realize how they use that weird dissonance in the music to create a really unique atmosphere that you just wont really find elsewhere.

This is basically any subject: The more advanced you go, the more you realize that everything you were told was "wrong" at some earlier stage of learning can actually be made correct somehow.
my god is your comment profound beyond profound! Its like one of those wise realizations you come to after reaching an unrealsitic amount of experitise in a subject...
Lego set.
You're oversimplifying but I like where your head is at. A lot of people have this assumption that you have to be taught or told by an "expert" of any given subject to give creedence to the subject to which you are referring. But what I've always realized is that SOMEONE had to figure things out on their own to write about the subject you're learning. With that said, I firmly believe some people really are "naturals" and they are meant to do the "thing" they do. Jacob is a very clear example of this idea. He just "gets it". Thus the phrase, "you can't teach that."
This is me when I was studying the philosophical and axiomatic foundations of mathematics. I used to think math was the one subject that was true and impenetrable, but that notion quickly fell apart upon further study.
i was told that doing cocaine and sleeping with prostitutes was wrong but just wait until i make it correct
i bet all these people make such great music

Musically speaking, he basically told us "fuck around and find out"
No, he said every problem has a solution. He didn't say fuck around and out, and he said work out and resolve the dissonant notes stepwise or chromatically in the next chord. I know you're part joking but that's a very reductive take
@@cyanhallows7809 I would have suspected he had another intentions with such statement, and of course i was totally joking. Either way im glad someone actually managed to take a joke.
@Kristopher Chavez You don't understand. - his point does not boil down to fuck around and find out. His point boils down to every note being accessible under any harmony in the under the right execution.
Trial and error, or just doing what you want is perhaps good advice, but it is not what Jacob is saying in this paticular video.
Your example of a house being built on a foundation is beyond stupid. That is just a factual statement where as the comment I responded to was I as mentioned, a reduction and a misconstruction of the point.

He's spot on. Context is always key - Jazz has been using that concept for decades.
Thats why its one of the least listened genres today
A quote I recently came across “To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” - Beethoven
I don’t think it’s about the note, it’s about what’s behind it
Very different to "there are no wrong notes" tho, Beethoven never says that because he is... You know... Actually good.
@@marcossidoruk8033 and a wrong note in classical is actually a wrong note
This quote is of a film. “The teacher of piano”.👀
That is kind of an applicable quote and yet also it's not. Classical is very rigid in that the expectation which is to follow what's written to the tiniest of details and then yes add your passion aka emotive interpretation to it...without being too individualized in your interpretation. That's why Glenn Gould was so loved by some and so disliked by others because he did what he wanted in interpretation...
Jazz on the other hand is so much focused on improvisation that it's hard to compare the two in expectation of where the music takes us. Yet, to play without the emotive quality that can only come from the heart, yes it is criminal and inexcusable.
I play classical, church music and jazz and there is that special place in all different types of music where it just tugs the heart of those listening because they know it really came from my heart. I try to always play with my heart though I don't always get there, I know it makes a colossal difference when I do.
Interesting concept. I remember playing in a rock band with this lead guitar player who would actually land on a “wrong” note just so he could bend to the right one. It was so pleasing to hear him bend into the current chord.

This reminds me of an idea Victor Wooten was mentioning when he was talking about experimenting on bass licks, the idea is you are always technically a half step from the right note. So even if you make a mistake if you play it as if it were intentional and then resolve it, it was actually the right note all along
That lesson from Victor Wooten is etched in my mind.
I worked that one out myself long ago, I have a somewhat forgiving audience though, just me.
@@DR-nh6oo you're lucky! Some people have that same audience and it's not at all forgiving
alvareo92 Somewhat forgiving, somewhat abusive….I was having a positive moment, lol.

The only real composition lesson you need
This is great to see because our understanding of music in the west is very different from elsewhere. The middle east, for instance, makes great use of semitones that would sound "out of tune" to western ears but in the context of the style of music, it's beautiful. I recommend taking a look at Brandon Acker's video on the Arabic Oud.
But their use of semitones isnt wrong or sound bad in their culture. While dissonant chords (without resolution) can sound wrong for western audience.
They use *microtones which are smaller than semitones
And eastern music ALWAYS resolves usually on the 5th or the octave. It's drone music lol

He explains complicated concepts in such a simple way that even a none musician will understand ... you can only make things seem super simple when you have a more than expert understanding about them ... what a guy. He's modern day mozart basically.
Well said dude. Relatively speaking, I know very little about music from an educational standpoint. However, I'd like to think I have a pretty good ear. With that said, I am always intrigued and fixated on Jacob's videos. He's so immersed/meant to be with music that he can explain it to anyone on any level. There's a great video where he breaks music down for a child all the way up to Herbie Hancock. To paraphrase a common/cliche...but also very true...saying....If you can't explain it to a child, then you don't understand it enough.
Modern-day Mozart? ffs...

Really amazing performance. As a visual artist music is inspiring. When I’m drawing musicians I realize, there are no wrong notes.

Legitimately discovered this about music at the beginning of the year. My guitar playing dramatically improved. I used to stay on all the scales we know and love now I venture out into my own stuff and haven’t felt more creative in my life.
Gotta have that foundation. Gotta know the rules to transcend them. Rules can only be transcended by following a higher law.

"hmm, how about we give this A a little friend. How about... a Db?"
"Now what I love to do is add a little bit of piano just to compliment the trumpet. I think it adds some more personality to the music!"
"Mr. Dan, now he's a wonderful guy, he sent me over these beautiful vocals, and it really gives this piece life. It's gone from a *slow swaying* to *head bobs*"
"Now this is my favorite part of the piece. It's basically a few blips and blops, and they are basically talking with each other in order to kinda fill in the background."
@@homemadefilms5718 nailed it
Thanks for the piano lesson, Neo
And example from my youth: Nivana’s Man Who Sold the World. As Kurt was opening the solo, I always just thought the first two notes were a cool little intended dissonance that resolved into the third note. Never thought for a moment that he had actually made two mistakes before getting to the note he actually intended to slide up to. 😉
Agreed, that slide always catches me. Theres so much honesty in that performance. Theres a quality in honesty that showmanship can't make up for.
Nirvana's version of Man who sold the world and disturbed version of Shout are the only covers ive head that are so good that I can't believe they're covers.

@@linux_b1969 you spelt practise [verb]. It's practice [noun].
It's crazy how much this sounds exactly like some chess ideas. It might sound weird but the idea that a note can be justified later on even though by many it might be considered a "wrong note" is like how really good chess players make moves that look ludicrous but a few moves later were brilliant shows of foresight and knowledge.
Know the rules to break them. That's creativity.
He somewhat reminds me of magnus carlson
This applies to everything really, there are "incorrect beginner moves" when you're just starting out, then when you become really great at something, you can see the value in those "incorrect beginner moves" and start to use them in skillful ways.
I understand what you are saying but this analogy isnt really the best fitting for the example he is giving, in his example he is using he is saying that any note can FIND a possible combination of OTHER notes to fit in NOW - as in you playing a chord NOW. Whereas your chess analogy has to do with two different moments in time, when you play a move in chess that you will LATER come back to make use of, that is a very different concept of like sowing a plant and harvesting it way way in the future. Whereas his example is something that can be fixed in the very instance. For example you cant play a weird note and let it be, then move on, then play that note again and add to it - well actually hold on, now that i am thinking about it... if say he plays a C major chord then plays a random like single note hit of F# (the most dissonant note i can think of in a C major scale) that at this moment will sound weird and off.. but then if everytime he goes back to that F# and adds something to it that starts to closely tie it back to the C major scale, to "smoothen" then transition from F# into something can link back to C major.. i guess then in that sense it would be a smart reward for the listener, kind of like a piece of event in a movie that doesnt make sense and confusing, but everytime we revist it we give u more clues and more clues untill it finally somehow ties in with the main story.

I’ll think this Is the most accurate way to explain music to someone to doesn’t have any clue to music reading and understanding. But not yet to listen and appreciate.
This all went right over my head.
As someone who’s heard a lot of “wrong” notes from extremely confident players: there should be a huge asterisk attached to this statement. You gotta know what that note is doing to the harmony and that requires a LOT of study and you gotta play that note because you meant it
Not really.
so you read the title and didnt actually listen to the video?
@@renhope9092 To clarify, 'Everybody" isn't required to study anything to hear how one note works with other notes. For instance, Wes Montgomery, one of the greatest of all time. Never touched a theory book and didn't read a note of score. You or i can do the same. You just have to love music.
@@renhope9092 no I did both, please read my comment again without a preconceived idea of what you think I’m saying
@@toddkreuzburg4162 I should clarify as well: I’m not saying Jacob is wrong here at all. It’s just that as a professional musician and as a teacher I’ve run into a prevailing attitude of people who “play by feel” without realizing that they’re playing without intention. What he’s talking about in this video can’t replace an understanding of music, and I’m not talking about a theory book. Wes Montgomery clearly knew what he was playing, what the chords were, and which notes went with the chords. I’ll never argue that you need a theory book to do that. What I am arguing is that in order to play remotely like Wes, you need to learn a lot about music and can’t just stab in the dark, which is what I worry some will get from this video. That’s all
I agree with Jacob. There is no wrong, ever, just like there cannot be perfection. It’s really just a concept of the mind. It takes YOU to put what IS in whatever context you choose.
I feel concepts like these is easier to understand in color; red isn't wrong, it just doesn't necessarily look the best in all places. Sometimes it might surprise you how well it works tho
