Jacob Collier explained on Microtonal Guitar!

I love Jacob Collier's division of minor 3rd interval into 4 or 5 equal steps and still makel it musically beautiful.

Guitar: Adjustable microtonal guitar designed by Tolgahan Çoğulu in 2008.

He made me lose my ear pitch for a few moments, I’m on my piano trying to get it back again

[alexanderallegra]

Last notes a little harsh but great visual. Collier is my favorite, also king gizzard which is pretty ironic considering they are pioneering microtones for western music

Jacob: "...you erase all idea of, like, notatable harmony..."
Primary school kids: "we just wanted to learn some Christmas songs" 😐

[onesyphorus]

i love how you timelapse you setting it up while hes explaining the concept

[davidwave]

What’s funny about this is that singers did this all the time before pitch correction. You listen to Billie Holiday or Ella Fitzgerald, and a bunch of their vocal melodies are like this. Is it “microtonal, ” or is it just natural/how humans move between pitches?

[poultriarchy]

Dua Lipa’s main hook on Good In Bed is a microtonal descent which is kinda fun, drops 5 notes where only 4 should fit

[Snickers]

This is an amazing ear exercise to do this with any nite on your guitar, I did it for a few weeks and finding pitches and chord is sooo much easier now.

I sometimes do this kind of thing on my cello. At last a little advantage of having a fretless instrument 😉

[rageprod]

That's so cool. I've played a little with this with bends on the guitar, like fitting 3 equaly spaced notes in a 2 semitones bend. It's a subtle microtonal touch than can be sound interesting.

[Ishigami]

I’ve heard music that use microtones and every time i try to imitate a descending 4 or 5 type of sound like here, but i would always miss a note and was always confused on why that note was missing. i now understand

[EtreGenerique]

This year. I was fell in love with his music and days after. I totally forget him. His music dont touch me deeply.

[virtualnuke-blym]

Sevish makes some awesome microtonal stuff if you're interested in exploring. I'd say that "Gleam" is by far their most approachable song but personally "Droplet" is my favorite

[SeanLaMontagne]

Ohmygod yes
Confront our comforts with the 12 tone system!

[letMeSayThatInIrish]

What surprises me is I can whistle or hum these microtones and they feel completely natural and harmonic. I never knew this! I thought microtonality would necessarily sound weird and experimental.

Amezing Guitar player with perfect pitch 🔥😮👍

[pdubzpyro]

I have the ear to spot these things but not the vocab. I respect you music class fellas

[marshallgrey]

I literally once confused an octave with a tritone and this guy divides intervals into zenharmony... but at least my music has a soul imirite

[Unholygamewinner]

Just discovering microtonal music. Love King Gizzard had no idea what they were doing. Still don’t but hey😂

[NonDrv]

This is going to make a smashing remix

[michaeldelazerda]

🤯🤯🤯
This is the first time I've ever seen this... harkens back to ye olde frets that went completely around the neck and moved/tuned to whatever/whoever you were working with or whatever piece was being played...
