I used to think that way. That every piece of music had to be technical and complex. Im glad i dont anymore

[jordanj]

A lot of musicians really don’t get that it’s not a sport

[cassierxse]

he’s got a funny way of using the same four chords in every song he makes!

[RobertMiller-gmmw]

The more I learn of this dude the more I like him

[adrianshegstad]

Pentatonics are the first thing I teach. They're good for a reason

[conorkelly]

Same for all the kids wanting to learn Oasis on guitar.

[MoshJunkie]

Thats why its so good, great music with simplicity

[greenblue]

It's the tone of the guitars that hit me hard.

[ldeguzman]

Best way to learn guitar is to play songs you actually like.

[jhamPlays]

Guitar teachers should jump at their students naming music they want to play. Teach them what they want, and when it gets to a part they don't understand or can't play, then you can teach the theory.

[AlmostLakai]

Just learn whatever skills you need to be able to express yourself. It never hurts to learn as much as possible but once you can get to that point practicing almost doesn't even feel like practicing anymore and learning everything else comes naturally from my experience 🙏🏽

The bass parts are my favorite they set the whole song off and give me 80' funk slap bass vibes. Play that funky music white boy.

[AleksandarIvanov]

I don't think anyone minds if you do or don't, just keep doing what you doing, we love it!

[andreiarca]

Then they're like: "Okay then, how about Polyphia."

[callummarch]

I was the same as a kid. Obsessed with green day and blink 182. Learned power chords 😂 rest is history. I’ve recently picked the guitar back up and am always learning something new

[plantfuture]

he’s playing it down, the genius is the layering of the instruments and the FULL use of the major key with suspended chords galor🫶🫶🫶🤩🤩🤩 also he has amazing rhythm…i also remember the first thing that made my head turn by the1975 (back in 2013) was matty singing and playing the riff in chocolate at the same time… simple but impressive

[playafasho]

I’m 38 and I recently got back into guitar for the sole purpose of learning The 1975 songs 😂

[robinthebobin]

Preach. So many musicians don't understand that it's not all about playing a billion scales and knowing every single point of music theory.

I'm a classically trained musician, I can easily read sheet music, play most scales and modes, understand chords etc etc - but none of that is a substitute for just being able to make good music that people want to listen to and play

Major Pentatonic is sort of by definition more catchy in a way because the notes chime together better as a whole better than 7 note scales
