Yannick Andrle he doesn’t mean “the” four chords of a key as he writes. He means that most pop songs only uses ‘the same’ four chords of any given key which is quite true and really repetitive to listen to. The repetitiveness and lack of melody is why pop music has gone down the drain even though it in aome cases surprisingly sounds good.

Hi Brandon. I'm a 65 yr old jazz guitarist who has been a teacher and performer all my adult life. I have had to retire early due to several serious health issues. You've done a great job of getting the reality out there on what it takes just to be ok or better in the music world. Your time into this is very obvious to me and just wanted to say "hi" and wish you continued success. The angry guitar guy works in my opinion since it's done in a tongue in cheek fashion. Keep it up. Happy everything !
I saw the title, and thought, "He's gonna have to rush these". Then you started talking before playing and I was sure it was going to be hard to pull off 25 songs in 6 minutes. Then you're done before 5 minutes, and it didn't feel rushed at all.
You have chosen well, sir....but you left out Of Monsters and Men and Bon Iver...and Mumford & Sons who basically sparked the whole indie Folk pop scene.
@@niekvanwensen i mean what even is pop at this point? One day you got a bassline heavy song from billie eilish or dua lipa, the next day you got some dance music from random artist like tones and i and now you got synthpop from the weeknd.
Well jpop and jrock always were heavily influenced by jazz and funk music. One trope I really love about 10s jpop and jrock tho are fast-paced riffs, I think we should thank wowaka (RIP) for it.

Read my mind m8
This list is just plucking, not really riffs
90AlmostFamous if you,listen to emoji of a wave, free fallin, heart of life, or queen of California, you’ll see he has excellent fingerpicking skills
His older songs seem like an alternative blues/rock/pop mix and less of just pop

best part of the whole video imo
