There seems to be a lot of hate on this video for me "telling people what to do." That's literally the point of this series, people submit me things they want critiqued. With the reaction on this video being so negative, I'm not super likely to continue this series, but let me know one way or another.

Simple rule: don't play anything that sounds like shit

[juno]

why the hell would someone click on a video abt critiquing music, and then get mad when the person in the video is critiquing music

I wonder if the dude who sent the email about his composition saw the title of this video and was like

[Powerslider]

I've been working on amazing compositions by Frederic Chopin lately and i've noticed that he sometimes uses bizarre note combinations that sounds like absolute shit when played equally loud. But, when you drop the volume of certain dissonant notes, it suddenly becomes magical and beautiful! So if it sounds like shit, try fiddling with dynamics. New doors could open.

I wrote a song today. The chords was C F G and then back to C.. And I'm happy with just that

Sleep paralysis, but The Billy Bumbler is playing on repeat.

That instrumental metal score be sounding like I’m battling the Elite Four champion in a 90s Pokémon game.

I'm a year late to the party, but I just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed this vid. I've had several music teachers/mentors over the years, and if they'd been as constructive in their feedback as you are here, I might still be playing.

You're honest without being cruel, and it appears that you prioritize support and encouragement in your assessments, which is integral to any performer's (or at least my) growing confidence. "Here's what I think you're going for. Here's what I like. Here's what I don't. Here's why. Here's how you could choose to address it. Here's to you and all the effort you've put in."

Major respect, man!

11:00 Sounds like a nightmarish version of Pikmin music.

Adam looking as though he's about to steal my widescreen TV
