Improvisation | What it is?
มุมมอง 432 หลายเดือนก่อน
Bach was able to improvise in a form of fugue. Jazz musicians are improvising all along. Guitar shredding is an improvisation. So what is it? Can you improvise? Thank you for watching. Follow me on: Instagram - fyoung_kurzanov TikTok - www.tiktok.com/@fedorkurz
Unequal Equal Temperament | Music Theory
มุมมอง 782 หลายเดือนก่อน
Have you ever noticed how some things in life look perfect on paper but don’t quite work out that way in reality? Well, equal temperament tuning is just like that! Just like how a best laid plans always have unexpected detours, musical tuning doesn’t always follow the rules. Is equal temperament tuning actually as "equal" as it claims to be?

Why we are using 12 tones in music?
มุมมอง 6063 หลายเดือนก่อน
Pythagoras of Samos (c. 570 - c. 495 BC) was a really cool guy. He connected math and music by observing, listening and experimenting. And the 12 tone music system is what we're using today, after 2500 years! Thank you for watching.

It’s not only about music. This question applies to all aspects of our lives
Of course. If you know how to ask a question.
Haha! 😂
Well this is deep
Why? ))
😂
nice!
Thanks!

ان شاء الله
great video, great ideas, thx
Welcome )
fifty shades of improvisation 😅
I have a pleasure room. A rehearsal room. )
You answered my question, thank you for such an insightful video.
You’re welcome my friend.
Yay! I can improvise!
Of course you can! I saw it
Да не мучай себя, говори по русски.
Примерно 0.2% просмотров из России. За всю историю этого канала. Вопрос: зачем мне это делать?
Famous polish bass player W. Pilichowski once said: 10h everyday practice for 10years and you'll become master. Provided you are talented enough 🙃
Unfortunately there is no recipe for everyone.
25 hours a day
Good luck. And remember about muscle memory and mistakes. )
If you don't like practicing everyday then change your practice until you like practicing everyday. I hate this idea that people have to unlearn bad mechanics. If they like the instrument enough to get it wrong everyday then eventually they'll get it right everyday with good instruction.
Yep. But why forcing yourself to do something you don’t like and don’t really need? If you can express yourself in other more pleasant ways?
Haha! 😂 That ending!
Thank you
You're welcome
Don't play while watching TV or youtube, concentrate only on your playing (scales, chords, technique etc)
Yup! Also don’t read about quantum mechanics when playing. ))
I play all the time while watching TH-cam or Netflix. It helps massively with muscle memory and the subconscious internalizing of songs and scales you already know. Having separate dedicated practice for learning new stuff or focusing on scales and technique is important, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
It's important to get intentional practice, but passive practice is super useful too. you have to put in that active time to say learn a complex song, but you don't want to have to be in that activated state to play it every time, because that's mentally exhausting. passive practice lets us take what we've learned and push it into our subconscious so that we can play it without even having to think about it. got this idea from victor wooten and it's been very helpful.
It is exhausting when you’re in the gym for the first time. But over time it becomes less and less exhausting. Your brain also needs training. So train your brain and it will be more and more simple to exercise.
Bad video. Prog rock is progress compared to standard rock, so that's why it's called that. It's not trying to compare itself to classical
Thank you for your honest opinion. )) But tell me why prog rockers have decided to take so much from classical music? And if I take some medieval music and play it with some trap beats can I call myself progressive? How much is the fish, for example.
Amazing video, great wisdom!! And regarding your last point... about if you can live without playing your instrument then don't bother with it... the insightful Nietzsche gently reminds us, "without music, life would be a mistake" :)
Well, maybe I was not very clear on that. What I meant was: if you can live without it why bother doing it instead of things that really matters to you? Priorities you know. You will never succeed in something if you have other priorities.
thank u for the video
You’re welcome!
Mussorgsky really? I love you. Definitely subscribing here
Thanks!
May the algorithm be with you LOL
Obi Wan taught you well )
Drum beats are a melody
Yes and no. Some parts of a drum kit are producing noise, not a tone.
@@fyoung Yes, I see
The great drummers are known to play melodically.
Leaving a comment for said algorithm! Algo...melody...
Thanks!
Awesome. Great emotion and vibe 👑
Thanks! I like this piece a lot))
Hail the algorithm!
Cool video. I never knew the origins of that Modest Mussorgsky piece, I thought it was just some cool melody on a Wu Tang song lol
You should watch the Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s interpretation of Pictures at an Exhibition. It will blow you away! Hell, those good old 60’s when rock musicians knew how to play their instruments.
Some other early prog rock/metal influences include composers like Igor Stravinsky or Gustav Holst. That's one hell of a bass btw!
Thanks! This bass is… I think of it as a multifunctional device.
Well yes, but no. You are totally forgetting the production side, technology and recording methods helping create unique feel or sounds, in conjunction with the simple and remarkable matter that every mind and emotion from every human being, is as different as fingerprints are one from another. That being said, music, as an art form, is subjective and my own interpretation, and agreeing with Jon Anderson, my definition of prog rock would be: adventurous music. Thankfully there is a lot of music out there and new forms of expression to come through the existence of human minds. Yeah.. I fell for the bait
I think late XIX century was the most progressive in music history. I mean, technology was yet to kick in but composers and musicians did so much progress that the whole XX century artists was recycling it.
And thank you for falling for the bait ))))
then the rock itself wasn't a progress at all. so prog rock rescues at least something...
Rock has made some progress along the way. At first - yes, it was just a blues and country combined (in my opinion). But it evolved pretty fast.
@@fyoung then it rescued at least something too... actually, i treat every style as a unique result of some evolution, so it is always some kind of progress. even simplification may be
Evolution is a very complicated process. For example, our feet much more advanced in comparison with chimpanzees. But our hands are more primitive.
@@fyoung evolution doesn't mean improvement. it is just changing with time
Yes Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky was a genius and true rockstar! You just need to learn more about his personality 😂🍾🎸🎶
Exactly! He was badass! ))
Bach, Mussorgsky etc has composed everything. Nothing new in music nowadays. We just need to listen them more carefully
In greek we use the term "parthenogenesis" (virgin birth) to describe something that is trully original, like it came into existence out of thin air. That is nearly impossible in music. Artists almost awlays use existing references when they create, even subconsciously. Similarly, prog rock is heavily inspired by classical music which is incorporated it in the pop/rock form. Most musicians at the time were honest about it, since they were graduates of classical music schools. They even referenced and and adapted Bach's works like Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (Jethro Tull - Bouree, Egg - Fugue in D Minor, Ekspeption - Toccata etc). Innovation usually emerges when merging previously existing genres and creating something new out of it, similarly to how evolution works with combining genes. For that reason, I think it's a slippery slope to take the term "progressive" literally and judge music by this criteria. If you apply this logic, then you get only a handful of innovative people across the entire human history that drastically changed music by bringing something truly original to the table. The first cavemen were progressive, ancient civilizations who created the first string instruments were progressive, monks writing chants were progressive, Chuck Berry was progressive, Black Sabbath were progressive, Giorgio Moroder was progressive. And now the term progressive has lost its meaning as a music genre. In conclusion, I don't care if prog rock is "progressive". I like all the elements that it has brought in rock music and I'm glad that there are still modern bands keeping this 70s sound alive, like Wobbler, Mondo Drag, Astra, Birth, Hypnos 69, Agusa, Anekdoten, Anglagard, Elder etc.
Wow! That is a thought process! ))) One thing: evolutionary speaking our hands, for example, are far less progressive than chimpanzee’s hands. Though our brains is much more progressive than any other animal. So progress in one part doesn’t automatically means progress overall.
Neil Pearts politics were pretty regressive
Politics? Never heard of Peart’s politics. Tell me more.
You just want to be controversial to reach out more and more people. But everything you said is just... duh... If you listen to "shine on you crazy diamond", you'll notice "progress". There is a change of mood, tension, rhythm... you name it. It's not a dictionary definition. It's going beyond standard music composition.
I like controversy. Cause it is a different perspective, a view from other angles. And I grew up listening to Wish You Were Here. And there is a lot of things happening in this record. Quadrophonic sound alone is outstanding. But. In terms of rhythms and harmonies there is nothing progressive at all. And that is what I was talking about.
Yeah, using pink floyd as an example... they're pretty much the least prog band of prog bands (and sometimes not progressive at all). I would rather have mentioned genesis, elp, yes, uk or king crimson, some of the other british ones
There is nothing new except what has been forgotten.😅
Actually there is. No one ever forgot synthesizers. It was entirely new thing. ))
Nice video, nice channel! I just discovered your channel.
Thanks man! Glad you like it
The envelope is something more musicians should be taught. Us synth people learn it pretty early, but it applies to any sound.
And how big of a role envelope plays in the rhythmic aspects
nice
Thanks!
Your definition actually makes more sense than ADSR. It should be decay last. But it's not. The rest of your video makes perfect sense. Groove is all about envelope control. Great video
Thanks! Maybe that's why I always confusing this terms.
It's actually ADSR, Attack -> Decay -> Sustain -> Release.
Yeah my bad. Words are hard 😁
this is what makes difficult to solo with licks going from the low E to high on a guitar. Low E always messes with my timing !
Take a look at Victor Wooten's metronome lessons. It is very helpful.
Singing behind the beat is hip.
Yes. The tightest most grooving music is when bass plays ahead, drums plays straight and leads are behind.
Hi, I think maybe you have R and D reversed. My understanding is that Decay is the ramp down to the Sustain level and Release is the final ramp down after the sustain level. At least...that's what it is on my very old Pro One mono synth.
Oh my bad! You’re right, these two words always confuse me. But I hope my point about what it is remains clear ))
You're the Salvador Dali of bass players 🤣
Thanks! )
super interesting thank you! would have loved to have further explanation
Sure! Stay tuned, I have a plenty to share
Good stuff, more please
Thanks! Give me couple days. These animations are taking time to draw ))
Wow! Clear and engaging explanation 👍 Thanks! Will keep an eye on future videos 😉
Thank you for watching! New video is coming soon
It is still difficult 😉
It is really not
Well done
Thank you! 😀
