I just feel like Djazzpacito is litteraly just a troll that has mashed random chords over the melody and wanted to see what you could possibly think about that

[DavidDiMuzio]

I loved listening to what they were saying. I just couldn't stand listening to Djazzpacito.

[AimeeNolte]

I could listen to you two tell people how not to suck at music for hours.

Marvel: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover in history.
Adam Neely: Djazzpacito.

As a complete amateur, this is like listening to two wizards talking, and still it's incredibly compelling.

[SkelloSwarm]

I feel like everybody who reharmonizes songs for jazz always overdo it. They always make the chords too far out, and to me they aren't really very listenable

So happy to see a father and son discuss the music theory behind Despacito 2.0 👏🏻

[NahreSol]

Hilarious editing and quality critiquing!! Loved it !!

[marek.p]

This is so sad, Alexa play Djazzpacito

[GammerJoaq]

The collab, the thumbnail, the music. Instantly clicked. This might be the best crossover ever... Guys, good times are coming.

[TomboFry]

Oooof! That major at 13:17 is absolutely beautiful sounding - even Rick thinks so but no one ever mentioned it.

[kristiansharpe]

I’m waiting for them to reveal that a computer algorithm was responsible for the reharmonisation 😂

[LordOfFlies]

Was expecting djent+jazz despacito. Dissapointed

[UkuleleAversion]

That Despacito reharm reminds me of the cringey shit I do. Complexity does not equal taste.

[lonelykid]

Adam: So Rick, do you have any feedback for this one?
Rick: My son has perfect pitch

[mememem]

The Djazzpacito submission sounded like it was only half finished, as though he was just lazy and mentally gave up, or sent an earlier version of the file on accident. The most impressive thing about it was how he managed to achieve both a lack of variation and a total lack consistency throughout. Towards the end it begins to seem more like a parody or troll than simply being amateurish.

How to Not Suck at Music (w/ Rick Beato) is my favourite anime.

[oldgoat]

My biggest criticism of the third piece:
My accordion won't actually play half those bass notes

[DavidSJ_DAP]

I have absolutely no idea what any of that meant...but it was fun to watch...

[andrefrazao]

Petition to have Adam's "the licc" in Rick's "What makes this song great?" XD
