Bro i just found your channel and now you’ve not uploaded in forever. Rip king 👑

[@KilaKaKa]

Is he actually dead?

[@Inequities]

@@KilaKaKahighly doubt it

[@paroxysmal42069]

Well, Rivers was studying classical composition at Harvard at the time he wrote most of Pinkerton, so that would explain why there's a lot of muscial theoric stuff involved. Rivers is such a great musician!

[@HenryNeville]

100 percent. Brian Bell once said in an interview that Rivers' songwriting was 'a lot more complex' after returning to the band from Harvard.

[@henriarm367]

Too bad this album was initially a failure before it was highly rated

[@mattcasey3506]

These are fantastic, TH-cam needs more of these "in-depth" Weezer lessons, A+ I can't wait for more!

[@weztalkinweez2thee422]

Thank you for watching!

[@LiamTolentino]

I love these analysis videos! could you do one on Tragic Girl? it's my favourite weezer song and I'd love to see a good musical analysis of it

[@bunkbeds4920]

Liam Tolentino that’s an interesting song, a lot of key changes

[@keepafriend]

Right on. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@mexicanfutbol]

The analysis I wanted! Yeah

[@riversjackson1]

Fantastic analysis, I can actually understand the theory talk in this video.

[@JEMHull-gf9el]

You're amazing at breaking down these songs!

[@justinandroxide]

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing

[@drumz556]

[@Jamekae]

Fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing your insight into the inner workings of these songs :)

[@stephenhare7369]

[@Inequities]

OMG THIS IS THE VIDEO IVE WAITED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR

Your channel is super underrated. This is such a great video!

[@joeswansonanator]

Finally a video on one of the greatest weezer songs

[@Zeradok]

Thank you for the in-depth analysis!
I've watched this multiple times and loved the way you explain the theories behind my fav Pinkerton song.

[@pepsy910]

this was a very good analysis! probably the only falling for you guide I could find lol, thank you for this!

[@mexicanfutbol]

I always come back to this video. Damn, so good. Hope you get the chance to do this for Across the Sea some day.

[@ilovegoo1123]

[@MistakenSound]

great man!

[@reinald8794]

this vid deserves more views

[@dr.mullholland763]

amazing

[@alexvalenzuela637]

I come back to this video, to remind myself why it's my favorite weezer song

[@guitargatekeeper]

accross the sea, superfriend and pink triangle pleaseeee

[@themarkmanila]

This was really awesome. You’ve got a great way of teaching and analyzing but not in an overbearing way.

[@lilyking222]

you are the MESSIAH of guitar tutorials. thank you.

[@superfriend7793]

Let’s hope for a second coming

[@ThePatrickHoban]

Very impressive breakdown for one of Weezer's best song IMO.

[@HubLocationSound]

Awesome breakdown. I really love this song. One note/possible correction (according to the Pinkerton Tab Book, and to my ear) is at @15:34 when you say that fourth chord is A (after the E). It is actually 2 chords = C (IV) and D (V) which walks you into the G key (2nd half of the solo). I agree this song is absolute chaos with multiple layers in that section... but try it out. "Lil Ole 30-chord me"

[@Wellsinho]

The irony of Rivers referring to himself as "little ole three-chord me" while completely inundating us with master-class theory in this song is why I love Pinkerton. What a brilliant piece of music.

[@canrt8092]

Nice video! I found it a little strange that you didnt even mention the awesome lead guitar parts during the verses and post solo though.

[@philip_j_fry_1999]

B sharp and Matt Sharp xD

[@clipPRmusic]

Nice shirt

[@lininc9606]

anybody else catch the 'I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams' main riff at 15:30 ?

[@lb2696]

Hey, could you do one for The Good Life?
The section of the solo into the bridge sounds really interesting musically, like a lot of stuff is going on there.

[@stlh815]

Great video! Where did you get your speaker stands?

[@eloisapantazis6232]

So how many chords in this awesome, one of my favorite Weezer’s songs used?

[@josalt3190]

Was convinced for years that Falling for you was one of the few songs played in regular tuning.

[@Sharkistas]

Hey make some more vids!!!

[@weztalkinweez2thee422]

I swear I will. Thank you for wanting more!

Is that from a japanese radio show? Cause that’s coicidential as this album was japanese themed and about 18 yr old japanese girls.

[@joeswansonanator]

When they were recording the transition from Pink Triangle into Falling For You, Rivers' guitar got interference with Korean radio. He later said that it was a divine intervention for the album.
