Thanks for watching today and a big hug to you if you share this video with someone!

[andrewhuang]

Thanks for watching! Leave any ideas for future Theory Thursday vids below! Much love.

[DavidBennettPiano]

Really clear, effective breakdown of an often confused topic! Nicely done Andrew 👍🏼🙂

[sakurahertz]

The visual representations at around 3:10 are such a nice touch

[disuyetin]

Music teachers: we're going explain the concepts to make it more understandable
Andrew: *cow*

[RoomieOfficial]

Enjoyed this video a lot! You’re killing it my friend

[gabrielkaul]

The way Andrew represents the difference visually at 3:10 is genius

[MisterTingles]

oooh... that graphic with the letterspacing/wordlength was actually really useful

[inspir.edmusic]

That polyrhythm midi editing in ableton just blew my world apart.

[InVacuo]

"What is my purpose?"
"You pass butter."
"... Oh my god."

Had to think of this.

[ZethKeeper]

Didn't know Andrew has his twin as a slave that passes the goddamn butter.

[Lukr]

It's amazing how much you do for the music community. So much free information organised into concise and entertaining videos. I've learnt so much over the years and feel like I never had to "study", just watch entertaining videos.

[chaschmerscholucasaege]

Holy, I love some of the random sprinkles of over the top or unexpected editing (like 3:02 where another Andrew passes the goddamn butter or 6:05 where everything just hits differently)!

[musicplaylists]

starting at 6:05 the amount of editing correlating with visuals and then audio plus to mention the emotions expressed simultaneously is extremely impressive. *hands applauding*

[crapadopalese]

0:25 someone finally freaking said it. And doesn't surprise me it's coming from the one youtube music persona who writes odd rhythms but makes it actually sound like it is musical.

[jessewarren]

That animation of the words at around 3:20 was pure gold

[Aldoistaken]

Yo fellow Logic Pro users, to use the method shown at 8:26, hit control + T (on Mac) while in the piano roll, have funnn<3

[clonazepanda]

The video, the editing, Andrew him self, just so professional

[frombulapuhskinti]

The fact that you used king crimson as an example for math rock has just won me so many arguments.

[augstn]

the cow-cowbell thingy could do as an awfully effective alarm

[talimn]

you have no idea how much it pleases me to see this broken down for viewers in a manner that simplifies the misuse of this term. Ive had this conversation more times this year than I could possibly remember and now I can just send this link instead. Nailed it.
