Producers are super underrated today and this series is exactly what producers need right now! Thank you Genius!
Talk-Ink Kid kid producers ate getting more recognition than they have ever been
They are thanks to things like this. And it is still not nearly enough! Just because something is better it doesn't mean it's good
Talk-Ink Kid to me they are 50% of what makes songs good
lol exactly
so true
This guy needs to produce for post more often
Take what you want ;)
Agreed
Yeah. Where is he? He's not working with him anymore?! First 2 cds of Post were The Best , imo. Raw, heart felt, the rhythms, Lil shit in background. Just fucking amazing. Like Watt said, SO BEAUTIFUL 💚💜🔥
@@heatherkoolaid He was involved in Feeling Whitney and No Option on Stoney, Stay and Over Now on Beerbongs & Bentleys, Die for Me and Take What You Want on Hollywood's Bleeding and finally he did a single with Post called Burning Man.
@@heatherkoolaid He also got Coronavirus so he's been recovering.
did anyone else get chills when they played post’s voice by its self? wow they’re both amazing
Anabelle Upton same
Yes! I had to replay it over and over. Such a beautiful and strong voice
Si su
Yes
yes i almost wish it was acapella
If anyone is wondering about the chords:
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 - Cmaj7/G - Am7 - (walk up tab) [Low E 3rd fret, A open, A 1st fret, D open, D 2nd fret, D open, A 3rd fret] - Fmaj 7 - Cmaj7/G - Am7 - (walk up tab) - Fmaj7 - Cmaj7/G - Am7 - (walk up tab) - F major bar chord - F minor bar chord (just lift up middle finger)
[Chorus]
Cmaj7/G - Am7 - D7 - F major bar chord - F minor bar chord (just lift up middle finger)
[Verse 2]
Same as verse 1
[Chorus]
Same as first
[Interlude]
Fmaj7 - Cmaj7/G - Am7 - (walk up tab) - F major bar chord - Cmaj7/G - Am7 - (walk up tab) - F major bar chord - Cmaj7/G - Am7 (walk up tab) - F major bar chord - F minor bar chord (just lift up middle finger)
[Chorus]
Same as all the previous two
Hope this helps - look up the chord fingering if needed!
EDIT: It's a very easy song, just a lot of repetition, so it shouldn't take long to master.
You are the real MVP
Not all heroes wear capos. Thanks for this!
Thanks
thnx man
And the strumming pattern most the time is: DDUDUDD
Beautiful song, one of my favorite on the album. This is probably my favorite thing to watch on UA-cam, great to see music being broken down from the producers point of view
Especially since it's from a great producer, this is way better than those dumb 5-track trap beats
D̶U̶S̶K̶ FACTS
Bro I was your 1000 like
FOR SURE!! Anyone mind checking out my music? One minute would mean the world to me :) I make and do everything EVERYTHING completely by myself. I’m ONLY 15 year old, and all the music is created originally by me from scratch. You will be very surprised. It takes so much hard work and it’s hard to get noticed even if it’s good quality. You won’t regret it. I do not have a ton of money, and this is all I can do to show my hard work.
The slide guitar is the best part of the song in my opinion
Ikr
Besides Austin singing, of course 👌
That steel guitar was really beautiful
this is like russ' cool cousin that doesnt want anything to do with him
Mathias Johannesen lmao legend
W
Russ is a good ass producer I’m not even gonna front on him like that
Russ's cousin whose actually talented
Jared Coleman LMAOOO GOOD ONE
Getting to hear Austin’s raw vocals without any sound surrounding it is INCREDIBLE
And i wonder who that is..
corny
This guy is talented
Sunjam Beats have you heard the song he did with post ‘burning man’? It’s amazing
and he's a really chill person aswell
nah
heroinhero69 👎🏼
@heroinhero69 looks like a tool but seems pretty chool
This guy got so much soul. The enthusiasm in which he talks about the whole process, and describes each part is just proof of how invested he is. He’s not just a “let’s slap another sample” kinda producer.
6:22 that was unexpected lol
Dat why u everywhere
dat*
I literally see you in every single comment section
bruh you everywhere
Dat yea, kinda
best deconstructed yet. such a nice vibe to this video
passionfruit is still the best
Finally a legit music breakdown
If you mean ”legit” by acoustic and real instruments, then you should watch Redbone breakdown
go watch rockstar breakdown. its amazing
SilverrulezGaming dude rockstar beat sucks
MisterBurger2 you must seriously have a shitty headset then. Thee beat always bumps in mine. The bass is unreal.
I think you’re forgetting Ludwig’s breakdown of Redbone ...
He couldn't be more right about people wanting live instruments again
Great to see a Deconstructed where the producer focuses more on vocals and real instruments rather than going step by step on their 808, hi-hat, etc. patterns and all that
Now it makes sense why when I first heard "stay" it immediately became my favorite song on the album it just sounds so emotionally raw and straight from the heart. It would be interesting to see this guy work with other rappers like asap rocky sway Lee, juice wrld, or even LIL Yachty.
You predicted the future
cuzzo predicted a diamond hit
Producers using raw instruments are so underrated!
This guy really reminds me of the guy who randomly tries to convince people to do Yoga.
*One of my favorite tracks!* ✌
Its my favorite track, and I went in expecting it not to be
Feeling Whitney breakdown better be coming soon
:(
We need more deconstructed videos like that, there's too much rap/trap ones but nearly not enough ones like this
This guy and post should realize an album together.
💯👆
They have made multiple tracks together
The most beautiful song on BB&B
R.S b&B*
Lil Thug man it’s the exact same thing
b&B*
Yes I want a damn video ... but then again I don’t want the video to taint the image I have in my head for this song
Proly the first breakdown where Gross Beat isn’t used 😂
Benno Platteau or Omnisphere lmao
If he's not using Nexus repetitive hi hats, or 808s then its not a real song.
Benno Platteau check out the vid for redbone
Benno Platteau or fruity loops
Benno Platteau 😂😂😂
4:40. DAMN. THE HEAVEN!
We vibin
Such a satisfying noise
Can we just talk about how calm/soothing the producer’s voice is?
I knew "Feeling Whitney" had to be connected to "Stay" in some way, both great songs and two of my absolute favorites.
bro keep smashin thee space bar
Was wondering that, I was watching this half sleepy and woke up cuz of the hulk smash on the keyboard🤣
Hi Genius. Thanks for the video. Peace
this guys love of music is so damn clear. So rad
Yeah I'm a new fan! This guy gets it, like Posty. I hope they're still working together.... I gotta go check all the credits now on Post's cds
Watt, PLEASE continue to work with Austin, you guys together, just 💯🔥🙏
You can tell he LOVES music with s passion and it carried over with production. He even knew the genres and the instruments down to the very last detail. Such a good watch.
I want that studio ball pit. Haha!
*Raw*
dawg
Fawg
*Gordon Ramsay has left the chat*
whenever I'm feeling extra sad, I'd come here, watch and listen to this explanation and how raw everything is. not sure why, but it gives me a little comfort.
This was really one of the greatest Deconstructed episodes ever. I knew Watt as a singer, didn't know he produced this. WOW. This video had a different vibe from the regular hiphop/trap deconstructed beats. Very inspiring and well spent 7 minutes. Thank you.
Andrew watt is a lucky charm , because whoever he joins ,he makes them famous
4:53 I finally know the official name for the Spongebob guitar now, thanks Genius :)
Wow I can't believe that joke launched over your head
@bob joe yeah you're kinda being an ass
bob joe how are you mad over a spongebob joke ?
@bob joe are you okay everything going alright at home
He looks like he’s in love with the song. It’s beautiful 😍
I watch every single deconstructed video. Keep it up, Genius. I would recommend foraying into deconstructing other genres and not just pop and hip hop.
Agreed
This song holds a special place in my heart…. It’s the song my girlfriend and I had our first kiss to! We’ve now been together for 4 years now, we went and saw him live for the first time last week and when he played this song we were sobbing the whole time. Such a beautiful moment I’ll never forget. I love you Kylie… forever
*Post malone* the only one Guy who enlightens while burning shit down .it's crazy how that album beerbongs & Bentleys just gets better after every listen🔥🔥🔥 .
As a producer these videos are so informative and helpful, thanks for doing what no other channel on UA-cam is willing to do.
Post is actually an excellent vocalist, and with the chords really an amazing song.
Andrew watt is one of the finest. A real artist and producer.
Not going to lie this was actually the first musical breakdown y’all ever put out 💀💯
come on ua-cam.com/video/lGKlIJsz7bM/v-deo.html
K supreme you really need to check this out if you haven‘t yet, Ludwig is a genius
redbone? Wakanda theme? Ludwig da goat
they are all musical
The drake passionfuit one
These producers didn’t even need a software they too good lmao
I mean, they were using chords I believe, and they had to use the software. That's how they recorded.
what? lol
You mean software instruments? Yeah that’s pretty cool but a lot of people record using real instruments still it’s not that rare
Diffensive e This is what music has come to? It’s an accomplishment just to play a real instrument?
Dude what are you talking about
We need the making of witchblades by the legend.
Yes please!
Yea fr get big head on here
finally an actual breakdown. You can tell he actually loves what he is making and really cares about it. Amazing episode of an amazing song
The editing in this video is sublime!
It’s interesting that in almost all Desconstructed videos, the producer says it’s very simple, and it really is. The great majority of the best musics are simple in terms of instrumentals, chords and tecniques.
This song is beautiful. Producers and songwriters deserve more credit! Post is so incredibly talented to not only sing this song but also co write and co produce it 👏🏽
there’s something so beautiful and simple yet so complicated about this song that makes me and so many other people love it. so much went into it and there’s so much going on yet it’s so simple sounding.
I like the producer's voice dont know why its relaxing
YES THANK YOU! This song is so well produced; the clarity of every strum and the beautiful reverb makes it really stick out
Omg I saw this guy in the bud light live where post had sung it for the first time. I didn't know it was him who produced it!
Lucky. Ugh
This was my favorite song on the album, next is Blame It On Me, and the reason I love this song is because its chocked full of emotion not only with Posty’s vox but also the instrumental. Its just a beautiful song put together so well.
Stay is hands down one of the most beautiful songs Post has ever made. Almost brought a tear to my eye the first time my bro and I listened to it
Not only is this one of my many favorite songs from post, but the way this guy explains everything is so cool and how he did this I look up to him. This makes me wanna be more into the music industry.
2years later but this part will always hits hard on me 5:56 - 6:25
who else is feeling so emotional and wanna cry a little right now after watching this beautiful interview and all of the work he did to make it so big?
genius makes music look like a beautiful work of art with their deconstructed series
im obsessed with this! the slide guitar is such an important piece
This song was amazing. Behind every great song and artist there is great production.
This has been my number one song for 3 years. Still gives me chills and makes me cry sometimes. I love guitar, (I’m garbage at it) and this was the first song I learned that has chords.
They need to release the sound files for this song, music and vocals are great togeather but I'd love to hear hear them seperate, cause hearing them here like this was a special experience I keep this in my music playlist specifically to hear them separately and the last part is in my important books and speeches playlist
The best songs are the ones that can either make you cry, or give you chills. Definitely got major chills .... great song.
This is amazing - definitely my favourite Post song and I'm very glad this video dropped.
best deconstructed ever. I like the other trap beats as well, even if they require less time and effort. but there is something so special about a simple beautiful guitar solo song
What a cool view into the minds and makings of today’s music. I’m definitely adding STAY to my playlist after watching this.
that last comment really got me about Post's work. it is really a great song. im in tears.
Love this passion. He's a genius. Beast producer. They get no credit.
I love the way Andrew plays, feels the music and complements Posty, great team
A very refreshing breakdown and break from the loads of 808s, clap and gross beat slices. no disrespect to those producers, I enjoy their breakdowns, but it becomes a bit repetitive at times. lol
ThisIsTheRemix305 305 I start with the drums you gotta have that Bounce
The melody on this is SO INCREDIBLE
Deconstructed at its best
Thank you genius for going beyond just the usual hip hop production and giving us breakdowns of unique styles like this too
RIP space bar
So much talent with tons of vibes in this vid. You can almost feel how it was in the studio when they recorded this. Amazing
That "Burning Man" track Watt has with Post Malone is also fire.
Nice to see the use and appreciation of classical musical instruments. This breath of nostalgia is what I think helps post stand out from the rest, and help him become one of the biggest in 2018 !
First song I learned on the guitar 😍
I love this song so damn much!! I basically deconstructed it once I heard it! It's just so beautiful 😭❤
This and Psycho are my favorite 2 songs of the album no doubt...
These videos are so good. I wish there was a "Deconstructed" for every song ever.
I hope I live this life one day as a producer
No need to hope! Start executing, you got this :)
Mozart Gates yeah man gotta grind my way through it:)
we’ll get there brother 🙏
Jay D' Great for sure man!
Good luck! (Not being sarcastic)
This guy isn’t only an artist, he’s a real genius
This was hypnotizing to watch and hear. Loved it!
all dese other yt channels wanna copy producer grind and genius. They're da og's for doing deconstructed ! Salute to dese kings fr fr.
That’s a real talent right there. Wow he’s amazing at what he does.
Finally after so many days a deconstructed video of a song that is not of the hip hop genre.
Hey genius can y’all do some breakdowns that involve actually instruments more often
The most underrated song in his collection.
George was my favorite song on the album
Is it just me or do you gain a whole new respect when you learn how the song is actually made
The Making of "Better Now - Post Malone" please!!
Fucking magic. And here I am at age 62 loving the velvet guitars and Post’s voice.
gooddd
Damn Russ did a great job on this one
Jeremiah Brooks that's a big ole first
Still listening to this track...
Candles on speakers makes me anxious.
The ultratone slide tone is perfect
