jazz musicians: spend days figuring out what key hey joe is in
guitarist: haha Eminor penatonic go weeew

[colinedmunds]

Discussing the physicality of an instrument is such an essential and overlooked element of analysis.

[noblefrost]

I imagine if Jimi were alive watching this, he would be enjoying this and also having a laff sayng"Oh so thats what I did there "

[anonymone]

Music Theorists: It's a little more complicated than that

Any guitarist: It's way less complicated than that

[spearmintt]

"What key is it in?" "It's on guitar"

[scari_]

The real purpose of this video is so that Adam can flex on how many books he have

[skalpathal]

I never thought about it beyond "It's a bluesy song, we can use both major and minor chords and notes". Glad to see my deep harmonic analysis affirmed. :)

I like how he says that a little music theory knowledge can be a dangerous thing more than once, because repetition legitimizes.

[santiagoriosarango]

The fact that you didn't quote repetition legitimizes when speaking about the repeated E chord deslegitimized repetition legitimizes due to lack of repetition

"A little bit of music theory can be a dangerous thing."

I will be forwarding this quote immediately to the person that tried to tell me that "Just the Two of Us" is in the key of C#.

[SsoUuLl]

I like how Adam is not even trying to look educational anymore, he just humiliates you with terminology while looking through pages of his thick clever books and then casually quotes some random guy on the internet like yeah whatever. Absolute madman.

[martinisbutik]

Theory me: Interesting
Guitarist me: Fuck it, Em pentatonic it is!

[cazgerald]

He squeezed my hand and whispered his final breath, "A little bit of music theory can be a dangerous thing."

[Aimaiai]

I was thinking that, as a guitarist, I literally just play whatever chord kinda sounds cool in the progression im trying to make. Guitars are specifically really good at randomly creating complex key changing progressions because of this.

This guy have some balls smashing music theory books on a table with a cup of coffee and a piano beneath it.

Respect.

[MMadjansen]

So *that's* where the term "guitar lick" comes from...

[CuriosityandCats]

"What key are we going to play this in?"

Jimi: E

"Major or minor?"

Jimi: Yes

[calebfudrums]

I’m catching references to 12 tone, paul davids, twoset in 1 video... this Adam guy’s love for the music community on youtube really shines through

[livefromstudioa]

“We’re just going to pretend that it’s in E for the sake of EASE.”

SUBSCRIBED.

Girls: Like dangerous guys
Me who knows a little bit of music theory: 😏😏😏
