If you like the song, please consider buying it on iTunes:

i haven't heard someone besides myself talk about the technical details of a song in so long, it's absolutely lovely to hear. thank you.

[WoWanate]

I am learning, very slowly, to understand how to produce music. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate these.

[barbaric]

you sir are a true musician, you never cease to amaze me.

[OobooChoo]

The most inspirational and talented man on youtube.

[Killrekob]

Everytime I watch you I feel inspired to compose, Jack. Thankyou.

[qwertydeluxe]

So cool to hear you talk through the physical performance as well as the composition experience!

[HelmetBoii]

I hear some SERIOUS Radiohead + Chopin and Debussy all up in here.
It's beautiful. Jack, I hope you realize how big of an influence you are to all your musician followers.

So much music theory, it's bloody brilliant!

[Wschaffels]

I study music theory in college, and that's not a bad explanation, man. You've overlooked some things, but It's pretty good. Glad to see some artists still think about what they're doing and not just hammer chords!

[MUSICbySCAN]

jack conte, you are a music theory mathemagician

[AmuseMe]

Thanks for this video Jack. The segment from about 5:30 on where you talked about the chorus and how you used different bass notes to avoid resolving chords progressions really gave me some good tricks to use in my own songwriting. Thank you so much.

[barelybueno]

I'm glad I understand this. I take music theory and now I understand your nerdiness. :)

[adwagmusic]

this actually helps me alot, because i;m working on a little chord progression that i felt had too much resolution in the middle of it, so maybe i'll play with a few other notes

[TheJHam]

It's like, I heard the words he was saying, but I didn't understand a word of it. I have taken a little bit of music theory, but I was hopelessly lost. I wish I could just... think like that, have intention to the chords I chose, because whenever I write mine are just whatever sound good at the time. It is amazing to see why he plays things the way he does. I want to be able to do that.

[Stratomacaster]

WooHoo .. Long time no hear ... I'm always excited to see new "how-to" videos from you... Thank you. :-)

[Grumpist]

I didn't understand ANY of that, but still, intensely fascinating.

If you want to know how this "September Chord" is called: It's called "Pop-Dominant" it's basicly a Dominant Chord with a 7 a 9 and a sus 4 without going back to the 3.

[Cloroqx]

You should do way more behind the scenes videos, really helps beginning musicians.

[myoozzick]

Jack, please make a video where you go through and talk about all your effects pedals.

[Alvinsch]

Since you already show many of your production tricks on VideoSongs, why don't you make videos showing some of the things you do when mixing and mastering? It would be awesome!
