    This is such a great video. Not only as an analysis of this particular solo, but as an explanation of how to analyze solos in general! Great stuff in here man, I love that these solos are so prominent in the Mario Kart 8 soundtrack!

      ahh yes, walking into a place and actually saying you were able to understand the inexplicable of a jazz musician.
      That didn't confuse me actually, but I can tell you this. There is no limit in jazz music theory, because it both embellishes and screws itself at the same time, in such a glorious manner that no one can understand what you are thinking musically, because you practiced so much that not even you know what you are doing anymore.

      Actually it does matter because now according to the graph time is slowing down, speeding up, and reversing as the interest rises up and up.

      Echocookie besides waiting in the middle of a race, you can save the footage for a race after it finishes by adding it to your favorites (the star icon). Then, go to Mario Kart TV and watch the replay. The music will play all the way, and you can even turn off the sound effects so that nothing gets in the way of that sweet, sweet sax.

  • @holyflutterofgod

    One of the most amazing things about Music Theory to me is that I've watched dozens of videos on the topic, and literally every single one of them has had dozens of vocabulary words that are not present in any of the other videos I've seen.
    I sometimes wonder what it would be like to apply such a monumental amount of theory to other mediums. I'm a video editor by trade, and I think a lot of the rhythm of editing can be compared to the rhythm of music. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't just _feel it out_ most of the time. It all comes very naturally.
    As much as I'd love to get creative with music, every time I try my hand at it I find myself pouring hours of research and thought into what I'm doing, and it still comes out mediocre. Whereas I can fly by the seat of my pants on a video, and still churn out something intensely cathartic to watch.
    I don't know, music's very very interesting, but not interesting enough to justify the work I'd have to put in, to get good?

Basically, without these videos, it would be difficult to completely understand these concepts. THANK YOU.

However, once I got past the great graphics, the 200cc I could not help but notice that I was loving all the music and that it was studio recorded instead of, say, chiptunes. The music of MK8 is amazing and I'm glad to see such a close up analysis. Thanks for this video.

    I didn’t get anything you said due to my low knowledge in music, but this video made me think about how complex a music may be. Everything sounds like a building. It’s fantastic.

    If I'm not wrong, the tune in the beginning is the Wayne Shorter tune called "Free For All" Recorded with Art Blakey.

    In my music class, we're actually studying jazz chords and typical chord structures in jazz, so this video was really relevant! I'm glad it popped up in my recommendations.

    Great example of musicians edging their listeners.

    Really exceptional job here- the 6th scale degree escape tone as a piece of musical vocabulary was particularly insightful to a novice like myself and I'll be working to incorporate it in my practice.

    ive discovered the best concept for a channel ever. Small note; i think it's worth taking a look at how the theme of Simple and Clean is used and expanded upon and changed in quite a few areas of Kingdom Hearts' soundtrack (IE Dearly Beloved, Xemnas boss fight, obviously the orchestrated version)
    Also noteworthy to just have a descriptive analysis of some of the more grandiose orchestral pieces in the soundtrack such as Destati.
    Genius stuff. Maybe im biased because much of the music is in the style of a Piano/Orchestra concerto-like thing which is right up my street, but i love this soundtrack and I think it would be beneficial to have a good look at it.

    • @WilliamAhlert
      @WilliamAhlert 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      the clarinet counterpoint in KH2 Dearly Beloved is also worth a look

    • @WilliamAhlert
      @WilliamAhlert 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The orchestration in of itself is worth having a look at but i'd be if there was a study score or something like that, and god knows it would be hard to write one from ear. I might just do that in my spare time....but i'd die before finishing.

    I often find myself passively improvising whistling over music, but lack any practical knowledge in music theory.
    Even with this brief video, I have learned an awful lot! Now I'm eager to see how far I can push myself with it!

    Wonderful, amazing video. I know you've done a lot on Mario Kart 8 already, but I'd love to see an analysis of the Mount Wario theme, since I feel like it's pretty dynamic and goes a lot of places. Keep up the awesome work!

    I'm not the only one here but half this stuff is just going over my head. Even still, it intrigues me so much... I love music but I'm not too good at actually playing it. I can't read sheet music either so like... I don't know where to go. I just love listening to it.
