I never realized the lack of tritone relationships in Major/Minor.... Very cool and thanks again!

[MrDrewbies]

That part about the Ionian and Aeolian modes, and their I chord's absence of tritone with other notes blew my mind!

[obeychad]

Oh crap, someone just learned how to key in his video editor.

5:45 This is beautiful. I'm studying Medieval and Renaissance music right now and it makes so much sense: the other modes gradually get modified through accidentals to avoid tritones and thus converge on Ionian and Aeolian

"The Despacito rhythm that has been popping up the last 2 years" dude i've been hearing that rhythm since i was born

I liked the part where your cat walked over the rite of spring.

So, I was trained as a musician on the Suzuki method from a very young age (for those who don't know it is a method of teaching young kids string instruments by starting them playing by ear and then introducing them to written music once they get the fundamentals down). It literally never occurred to me until I watched this video that audiation (sp?) isn't a thing that everyone does. I just innately remember all the parts of a song and when I think back to it or it's stuck in my head, it "sounds" fully realized. I thought everyone does this, but of course, if you haven't been trained to hear music that way, why would you? Wild!

[DeckardRJ]

So amazed with the "no tritone" interval thing... I study music for yeeears and never noticed it and I don't remember any of my teachers talking about it.
Thank you for the good info!!!!

The Quality of your Videos, both in content and in visualization, are actually incomparable to anything else on this website. Thank you so very much for this.

Question for your next QnA:

Hey Adam, I'm a multi-instrumentalist considering music school. How should I choose what instrument to pursue or how can I persue all of them?

[Kraghinkoff]

Man, I’m amazed by the structure and the length of the video. When I got to the last question I was like “well I’m kinda bored but let’s see how it goes” and after you answered it I thought “meh I think I’ve seen enough I’m gonna close” but right there it ended. I value this in all the videos I watch. Well done.

[RCSmiths]

Oh man, I missed the classic Adam Neely Schooling and information! Great video my friend!

Also that Lick composition tho

[MollyWiseViola]

The answer about ionian and aeolian brought so much meaning to my life Adam, thank you so much

[ValseMelancolique]

I love what you said in the last minute.

[roberthovey]

I’m so glad you mentioned delayed gratification Adam! I just finished my first year of teaching general music and chorus (although I’m an instrumentalist) and I have been preaching those words for years! Technology (and many other factors) have sucked people into an “instant gratification mindset” and I could not agree more that music can break that toxic way of thinking! Thank you for being you man! Love your content!

Adam: What's your opinion on parents who push an instrument on a child to learn that the child has no interest in?
