My whole body starts shaking in anticipation every time it senses a "repetition legitimizes" coming up.

[IAMEEBA]

14:56 - Adam utilises his Berklee education to its maximum.

[figloalds]

The Bill Wurtz simply became a genre of his own, brilliant dude indeed.

[KnowArt]

'That's a chord"
Thanks Adam...

[JUdrums]

2 years from now: "dont use 9ths, use 11ths!"

[chordalharmony]

That phone thing seems so STUPIDLY useful. I never would have guessed that something like that would work

[luisgonzalez]

Adam, you're the epitome of "constructive criticism." I applaud you. All your comments were kind, insightful, and empowering. Even though it was obvious that the musicians you reviewed presented different skill levels, you treated them all respectfully and with the dignity they deserved.

Adam: "... I think this is probably one of the best examples I could think of of the age-old maxim-"
Me, in unison: "-repetition legitimizes"

[numbers]

The folk jazz arrangement with the recorder is amazing.

[IsraelWokoh]

That first singer's voice when she riffs is like... free-flowing honey.

[designator]

It's fascinating how ubiquitous smart phones have become, to the point that we refer to using one as "free".
It's pretty much true, of course, but it's still funny to me.

Adam: “My favorite chord extension is the seventh”

[ZackSeifMusic]

That hip-hop track was AMAZING. Love hearing guitar in modern music. MGK, Juice WRLD, anything with Travis Barker...
Making a comeback. Love it

[banigrisson]

I love how this guy always puts the original clip or image when he talks about something...

[merseyviking]

As a follow-up from the last episode, Erin Snape has just released her first album, due in no small part to this channel. Go buy it!

[marcosgruchka]

next time this segment be called "well you're pretty good at music already"

[ilikefrogs]

me who doesn't even know what a 7th is: of course you would need to use 9ths instead

[ErinSnape]

"That's a chord" - Adam Neely 2020
Truly a work of art, thank you for your wisdom and talent Mr. Neely

[NoThumb]

That dude using diminished chords in his song was crazy cool!
