"...which I learned yesterday.." definitely something he would say😆😂
Was looking for this comment😂
@@AtTheThrone Even me😂
Commented this and now had to delete. Dammit
But he also learned Blackbird - so that's 2 Beatles songs
@@davidavien4338 He didn't "learn" blackbird, he just heard it once(a person in the back row of his concert hummed it) and then reharmonized it as a microtonal negative harmony thing in just intonation from memory
this guy is lowkey flexing all his musical abilities at once while perfectly imitating jacob collier, what a beast
I know I saw the video and thought it was a bit to parody Jacob in a playful way. then I realized who this guitarist was haha. freaking guitar master over impersonating jacob, the musical prodigy 😂
yeah nice spot-on singing pitch
Like a typecast actor playing a role that is not too dissimilar to their own personality.
This are not ALL his musical abilities but serves to get to the point of the video
He's flexing all his musical abilitie by imitating Jacob flex all his musical abilities, so meta.
Now I finally understand harmony 🙏🏻
Happy to hear that Charles, soon I’m doing a video on bass tapping stay tuned! 🤣
F*cking practice 😂
@@LucasBrar I'll make sure to tap like!
@@LucasBrar can’t wait for that
@@gitaristangakawntant3038 yea! I Just wrote my fifht synphony en 15 min!
Takes a true genius to distill Jacob Collier into this perfect concentrate.
No it doesn't lol That's the point
JC - the guy responsible for some of the most atrocious music of all time.
@@exhainca 😂Are you sure of that statement though ? I think you're just having a personal preference issue, which resolves pretty easily, don't listen to them.
@@Artitrouille Of course it's a personal preference. What else would it be? I also don't buy the argument that one just should not listen when my feed is bombarded by his crap, analysis and news about him. Fk, I'm pretty tired of wet blankets like you telling everyone they should not voice their taste and personal preferences. Here it is again: Jacob Collier is insufferable both in the music he makes and the crap he utters in every interview. Music for unimaginative bores who go crazy for musical gimmicks. Music for people who think sand projector art is real art. Sit down and get a life.
This is a great example of how well you have to understand something to make fun of it. Well done!
People make fun of stuff they do not understand all the time. Just rather not in a sophisticated manner.
This didn’t feel like poking fun … more like an ode to Jacob’s brain 😅
If it really were Jacob, it wouldn’t be ‘in 45 seconds’…it’d be more like ‘47.5 seconds and 30 cents sharp’!
😂
He did make me appreciate that microtonal rapper; I believe his name was Half a semitone, or something similar.
@@charstringetje That's a musician joke right there.
hell yeah nice profile pic
I love how he sings the notes and then plays the guitar to show that he actually nailed the pitch
Something jacob would do
Jacob actually does it to prove his guitar is tune !
@@davidespinosa1910 Oh man I just realised that there's a TONNE of Chuck Norris jokes that can now be transposed to the musical context. This is SO exciting!
@@willemakkermans4067 HEY NOW! Chuck Norris is 'Merican - and that right there is an English TONNE.
so i'd like to congratulate you on the international joke. well played, sir.
@@purposefully.verbose actually it's an Irish tonne, but whatever it is, I'm sure that Chuck Norris can bench press it before Jacob Colliers divides it up into equal tredecuplets.
Damn! So cool to have him over on your channel Lucas
Rickard?! Från Popskolan?
@@LucasBrar Haha, Oui!
@@rickardengborg1441 när hänger vi?!

The pinpoint accuracy singing the C is magical
Nothing is worse than people trying to explain modes. "You just take a major scale (plays major scale at 300 BPM) and then start it from a different note (plays mixolydian scale at 300 BPM). Now you understand modes, so if you can't produce a high quality fresh reharmonization of the entire Kind of Blue album you might be a moron. It's important to stay positive though"
It's like you want to learn painting, and all they ever tell you is how the colors are manufactured.
Well modes are just different starting points of maj scale so ye
pfft, totally.
I only understood Kind of blue just because i own the album
Modes in a jazz setting I presume? Because that explanation also fails for the original music modes were part of so it applies both tho jazz and medieval/renaissance/baroque.
I mean, only if you're in 12 tone equal temperament, amiright?
lol
12,000 actually, as Mersenne would appreciate
Lol why did that make me laugh
Why does no one ever do microtonal anymore 😢
U right
That C pitch was hella accurate
that was spot on (at least to my untrained ear).
if his super-accurate pitch was real,then he would outrank charlie puth just like that 🤣
The C# you mean?
@@dexterdexz5275 may have been pith corrected or maybe he just practice those notes a whole lot before he started.
@Laik Tavuk Döner I am sometimes fooled into thinking some vocals are Antares'd. Then I remember old barbershop quartets, or '60s and '70s folk harmonies, or good Appalachian style americana and damn, some people do have some clean voices. I envy them :)
First time I've heard both a British and a heavy Swedish accent at the same time.
Haha
@@LucasBrar hjahæ*
Bridish
Hähä
Brïdish?
That might be my stopping point. Idk 😌
Wow, after seeing Jacob interviewed by Paul Davids recently, this is spot on! 😂
😂😂😂😂
I don't really comment on youtube videos, but this has to be one of the best things I've seen all year... bravo. Also, I need one of those sweaters for any upcoming holiday parties.
I'm dead!! Literally like that! You got all the essence of this lovely guy!! You've make me smile in a very stressful day, thank you a lot!!
Me too 😁
Me too!!!
Me too
I have been studying music for 14 years and this video changed my life. Best masterclass ever made
Set the playback speed to 1.25 to get the full experience closer to the original Jacob😅
Ugh wow HAHA you were right!!!!!!! :)
good call, goosh
Absolutely correct.
That has absolutely no business being correct, but here we are. Lordy.
Had to, spot on
Almost three years later and still funny.
Idk who this Lucas Brar guy is but him getting Jacob Collier to post a video on his channel is pretty cool!
Blackbird reharmonized sounded really really good. I'd love to hear the full version of that.
Yes, please!!
Yes, first thing I thought was; maybe I could steal that for a new song.
Up!
Yesssss Please
After watching this thorough tutorial you should be able to do it yourself! Tsk
"The classical guitar, which I learned yesterday," made me crack up a bit. This is a pretty accurate representation of Jacob Collier.
It's not only the classical guitar. It's a 5-string-guitar with a special tuning to accommodate to his "beginner skills" as he stated in a recent interview with Paul Davids.
Wonderful! The thing that impressed me the most is how he is able to grow and sand perfectly his nails in a day. That's pure genius.
Thank's for your work Mr Brar, always a pleasure, always inspirational.
Classic example of "Let me demonstrate that I know a lot" when the actual goal is "Let me help *you* understand."
I’ve conducted the Berlin Philharmonic for 25 years, but I feel that I now truly understand harmony after watching this inspiring video 👏👏👏👏👏
Accurate enough, we know he knows a lot but he's got so much passion for his thing that he can't teach to save his life before he calms down lol
Compared to Jacob's microtonally colorful outfits, your sweater looks diatonic. But you almost Lucas good.
Seriously, that was maniacally fun!
Chromatic outfits indeed...
you forgot his diminished looking hat
Lusekofte FTW
It's not about the clothes you wear, it's about the clothes you don't.
sad no body got this: lucas (look as) good
I am a professional musician and every time I hear Jacob Collier try explain something I'm utterly lost after 3 minutes. Glad to realise it's not just stupid ol' me!
Because he explains it shit
Jacob doesn't seem really interested in enlightening others. I think he could communicate clearly and thoroughly if he wanted to. Taking nothing away from his extraordinary skills and knowledge, he has ALWAYS struck me as someone interested in showing off.
@@rumi5547 I think it is unintentional. His choice of becoming an inspiring teacher may not have been the best usage of his superhuman skills though.
@@knotwilg3596 His showing off goes beyond the "teaching." It's obvious in most of his recordings and live shows. Instead of working with others and going for a visceral soulful performance he insists on doing everything himself. This is why those recordings are so antiseptic and dispassionate. They lack life because they don't have humans responding to each other in the moment. Vocal harmonies sound better with a mix of voices but he does them all himself. That sounds unnatural to me when anyone does it. He does this process in concert where it becomes preposterous unless the point of the presentation is to show off. Watching him layer tracks is more of a demonstration than a concert. It's not nearly as entertaining as performing a piece. I look forward to him working with, and gaining from, other high caliber musicians.
@@rumi5547 Finally someone who gets it. Thank you my man. I feel the same way.
Was stuggling for decades, but I finally understood everything in 45 seconds
That’s actually kinda beautiful, please do a full re-harmonised cover of Blackbird!
I request a full version of black bird harmonized. It sounds so cool !
This is amazing, you embodied the spirit of Collier so well, the pitch vocalisation had me LOLing 🤣🤣
I like how you bring guests now to the channel. Huge success bringing Jacob! Congratz
So spot on. Every one of his vids claims to teach you something but he never truly explains anything. Just seems like he just likes to show off how much he knows and how good his ear/pitch is.
You learned me harmonie better than Bach did !! Thank you so much Jacob !
Lucas! You're my biggest inspiration, now I use a hat all the time. With a great power comes a great responsibility.
Made me happy to read:)
"Which I learned yesterday"
Accuracy 100%
Haha such a perfect imitation of Jacob, the line "I'm gonna take the classical guitar, which I learnt yesterday" so relevant... this guy seem to absorb anything so quickly, and the singing around 0:39 amazing! Great Job Lucas!
Great Jacob Lucas
Fixed that for you
Right, that was hilairous!!!
@@SomeNiceMovies get em with that J.C.
hahaha that's how I feel when I see his vids. He is hyperactive, his explanations are muddled, his music is alike : he hesitates between different directions and chooses none. He adds layers and layers and make a music that I would qualify as indigestible (but hey that is my opinion, anyone can have theirs). Obviously he knows a lot but I cannot listen to his creations and see him as a genius
Lmfao yes, I’ve tried hard to enjoy Colliers music but I come to the same conclusion as you every time
The planning for this :45 second masterpiece must've taken so long. So packed with humor 😂
Not even joking, but 90 percent of videos regarding that subject are like that, which can be pretty frustrating for a beginner..Theory is not scary but it takes time and patience to learn. Total beginners need things to be super simple and vocabulary simplified to a toddler level. I know because that's what I needed..
This is exactly how Jacob explains harmony.
That’s exactly him!!! You are a talented actor too :)
Just listened to a video of Jacob collier explaining harmony while I was driving, this autoplayed and I thought it was the same video until going back and looking at my watch history
"...which I learned yesterday!" LOVE IT!!!!! :)
As Jacob Collier, I can confirm this to be true.
This was as perfect as Jacob Collier's pitch.
Hahaha, this is amazingly accurate.
Good job
The funny thing about that is that he´s not even exagerating at all.
It was nice of Jacob to do a cameo for your channel.
Honestly that was super interesting and very informative. Not about anything related to harmony, per se, but wonderful ear training hearing the regular harmony and the spicy harmony back to back like that, plus the vocal arpeggiating of that really dense chord helped me to hear all the stacked voices.
Great lesson? Or satire? Idk, still funny JC joke
best cosplay - cover of him. Waiting for a collab #Jacob&Lucas
You really nailed it with this one!
That's about right... I feel like if I watched a 2 hour Jacob Collier tutorial, I'd walk away with less knowledge than I started.
Dude obviously lives and breathes music and has probably forgotten more about music than I've learned..
But he's a terrible teacher.
I've played piano all my life (35+ years) I've had maybe 4 or 5 teachers on and off in that time and it always felt frustrating to progress.
I picked up guitar during lockdown and taught myself for a year before finding a real teacher.. and damn.. I've never been happier with a teacher as much as I have this person..
Honestly, he explains things SO well. Every lesson is a treat that I look forward to rather than a chore and I actually learn and understand what he's saying.
It just goes to show that just because you know how to play an instrument, doesn't make you a good teacher.
I teach music production, which is extremely complicated at times and I've had numerous people tell me how good I am at breaking down concepts and helping my students progress.
Mad skills. I was kind of expecting microtonal harmony to enter into this, but hey, it was only 45 seconds not 60 😂❤
* i just tuned my g string 3,234 sharps lower to match the harmonic series of my room but nothing too complicated *
Real Jacob Collier would have shown that the piano is out of tune at the end.
I see Lucas is the chosen one, because he can reproduce Jacob’s teachings
I felt compelled to subscribe after watching that. Good stuff.
Your reharmonization is way cooler than what Jacob would do.
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”
Although, there's nothing mediocre about you! xD
Haha, I definitely am in comparison to Jacob🤣
@@LucasBrar you're better. You're creating like he does but without taking yourself too seriously.
This is unbelievably hilarious - there was no need to explain :D
His friend Stevie, who’s blind by the way, does this all by ear, which is amazing
Jacob Collier is the Hikaru Nakamura of music.
Dude. What a niche commetary. Nice
Additionaly, Hikaru is a giggler.
So true and that's absolutely fine.
Ok now I want to see Jacob playing guitar like Lucas
This was absolutely brilliant and well observed. It made my day while I was sick in bed.
Greetings from Brazil ! 🇧🇷
Sempre tem BR em todo lugar, hahaha.
Thank you for this! Absolute laugh out loud moment!. Perfect summary of the Collier videos I've seen.
This was perfect. Flawless victory.
Thanks. You nailed the annoyance of his mania.
I can’t stand Jacob Collier. This dude pulls all of why I can’t stand him and distills in into this 45 second thing of beauty. Thank you.
Do you have perfect pitch? Or incredibly good relative pitch?
Because the way you sung that last chord was genuinely incredible.
He played the video backwards, so he played the chord first and then sang the notes. You can see it, his shirt is on backwards
He probably practiced it beforehand
You are honestly very talented yourself man :) high regards to you and your creativity and musical intellect !!
This is really really REALLY funny stuff! :-D Not saying that Collier isn't brilliant at what he does, but as a parody this is even as brilliant! Love the "cute harmony" intonation and the accent 😀
YES!!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way when watching Jacob.
okay this chaotic calm energy is something that i was not expecting but now i'm here for it
Don't get me wrong, I understand that Jacob has an absolutely amazing musical ability, but he's one of these people who is on such a higher level than anyone else, that only musicians can listen to his music.
I say this as a jazz musician: I can't listen to him.
@@sandalero Music is only for musicians to listen to? Hmm
Put your ego aside and you will enjoy :)
@@AndreasDelleske finally. thank u so much !
I don't see it like that. I think he's a great musician, but not a great composer. There are many musicians on the same level as him who created songs pretty much everyone can listen to, like Herbie Hancock, Coltrane and Quincy Jones.
@@andrearieta8291 no
This made me laugh so much. I’m dying. And yeah Jacob would definitely say that and not be joking.
"I'm going to take the classical guitar which i learned yesterday" Ha haaa haaa!!!))Like two drops of water))
If only I learned classical guitar yesterday, I could buy the accordion I’ve got my eyes on.
When he said "...classical guitar, that I learned yesterday" I lost my shit. Best JC impression ever lmaoo
Funniest and most hilariously accurate video on all of UA-cam. XD
Beautiful parody! Also impressive: your ability to hear-sing notes demonstrates ear training and the REAL way to understand music... WITH YOUR "Ears" ( meaning brain of course)
This is 10 times more musical that anything Jacob ever produced.
Thanks Jacob, I finally understood harmony after trying for 1 day. Now maybe time to learn guitar…
Dude nailed perfect imitation and impressed everyone again with his genius guitar skills. Love it.
a musical genious being explained by another musical genious with a less severe form of adhd and with a tendency towards comedic, but still socially and educationally pedagogic values. *applaudes on the back of my hand*
Thats what I meant to say
I'm not usually into people making fun of people lol but I've been feeling a lot of fatigue from how much everyone falls all over Jacob Collier, saying that he's objectively a musical genius and today's Mozart etc that this is really feeling like a breath of fresh air to me right now lol
His accent killed me lmao
this made at least 3 of my days, thanks!
When I watch a Jacob Collier video, I'm usually overwhelmed every time. I know he's really, really good.... but I couldn't explain why.
Accent is accurate confirmed
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK MUITO BOM, FICOU IDÊNTICO KKK
Opa! Um BR aqui! Top d+!
I know its just meant to be funny but I always feel sorry for jacob since hes incredibly emotional and musical too
You're at the top when people start making publicly fun of you. I think nobody has to feel sorry for Jacob. He knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it this way. To be made fun of in this very friendly way means to be recognized ;)
Why does UA-cam randomly put these videos in my feed?
I don’t have time to go down to Jacob Collier rabbit hole tonight, but now I’m stuck.
spot on.
Jacob Collier invented music
Супер, посмеялся от души)
=
LOL
Hes such an underated singer on top of his amazing guitar skills
That’s some funny stuff right there. You’re spot on.
You forgot to have a facial expression of constant wonder and awe that only a child of an upper-class family that invested their entire lives into their only child could have.
