1:18 for an aural delicacy! :p

[aakkoin]

I'm all for music and playing, but that guy is kind of a geek

[OpethNation]

@aakkoin What an ignorant comment

[ProducShuns]

watching this is a bit of a mind asplode tbh. its like every piece of music ive ever heard lied to me. here i was loving how magical it all sounded, but really theres all these complex systems going on in the background. fuuu

[SmokestackPancakes]

i got so hyped when robert johnson came up. LOVE DA BLUES!

[dtm106]

Absolutely brilliant series. I would dispute his claim that certain modes were fixed to certain keys, but aside from that little detail, this covers everything perfectly.

[charlatanbaby]

URGH! he has demystified music! This will end up detracting from its mysterious charm!

the duende is dead :(

[antiFoolishness]

I don't know how to thank you.....

[datalal624]

Wow, now I understand why the Coventry Carol always sounded so lovely, but kind of odd at that particular part.  Thanks for uploading this excellent documentary. It's very edifying for someone like me who didn't have much musical education.

[brandonb1100]

Where's part 4?

[Morphis]

Yule tide jollity ...........:)

[khazardslover]

That Coventry Carol in this documentary was the best i have ever heard! If you have heard better, feel free to recommend me, i like it very much.

[sharonmary]

@khazardslover kings singers do a lovely version.

[epower]

I adore music... but after a while this show hurts my brain :(

[superexcellent12]

Is it just me, or does he have just a little bit of a goggle tan here?

[valiantcold]

Thank you very much for uploading.Excellent!!!

[Tyrael451]

[ItsNotOverBand]

[anhbht]

Oral delicacy

[BudPrager]

@anhbht Aural delicacy...

[luxemkingII]

@anhbht thats what she said

[keepthefunk]

great!

[fupasack2]

why do people say that white people stole rock and roll from blacks because it has blues influences? it looks like there is a lot more influences than just blues. and didnt this guys say every peice of music has the pentatonic scale in it? and the pentatonic scale is supposed to be way older than blues? why are we told this???

[seekerbiswas]

@fupasack2 We are all influenced by each other I dont think in the world of music there is a thing called patents. so you steal I steal in the end we all steal from each other. Then it makes me wonder. is that really stealing. maybe music was designed by a bunch crooks. or is it the other way round in the end I think it does not matter if one steals or not it is music, music is as important as food and water and air. We as humans need it to live. so long live piracy.

[bloodtypebloodtype]

i think im in love with the singing girl

[AnarchisticLeper]

So with regards to the "new minor scale" it was essentially the harmonic minor ascending and the natural minor descending? If so, what of the melodic minor?

[claus93Sethsen]

1:15 oral delicacy .. mhhh

[greenday07ryan]

aural^

[profkuchar]

e minor and G Major share all the same notes, so the difference between them is subtle: through rhythmic and/or harmonic emphasis you can imply one or the other to be the tonic or "home key." (@Because88)

[because88]

'God rest ye merry gentlemen' - could someone help me as to how this is a key change from Em to Gmajor? Wouldn't the chord shapes be the same, as it is all part of the Gmajor scale? I thought I understood modes, but this (brilliant) series raised more questions than answers.

[atombat]

If you watch it again he says, Eminor (churchy) to Gmajor (happy). The new major and minor are both compatible with each other, so they are interchangeable, something that you can't do easily with modes.

[GreendogStudios]

What do you mean?

[guitaraddict4life]

@because88 its in e minor because of the opening tonality, in other words it starts in minor establishing the tonic as e. then the tonality changes to a major sound and tonicizes the g. and you are right, the chord shapes are the same and have the same name. this is because e minor and g major a relative keys meaning they use all the same notes

[FretboardToAsh]

That's not minor that's harmonic minor...

[GreendogStudios]

It's actually melodic minor, but minor is an umbrella term for the three minor types. There is no such thing as "minor". The minor your thinking of is called natural minor.

[worriedaboutlife]

ie. most people will choose the simpliest option and go eat in mac donalds - I don't work for macdonalds...

[worriedaboutlife]

I read a scientific study which looked at how musical vertiousos were made essentially it boils down to 10,000 hours practice and the WILL to want to do it - if you've got a good hearing and a analyical personality and a great need to be a performer - or composer the only thing that reals matters is having the freedom and commitment to pursue it .. btw 10,000 hours is about 1 hour a day 7 days a week for 3 years... but then the real issue in music is an economic one

[wilkyx]

its amazing how they analise it after the fact. i doubt very much that blind lemon jefferson knew the theory that howard does. but he had the knack of doing it.pure natural talent to make something new.you're just born with it. either mozart or hendrix.

[DEVIMON111213]

jefferson might not know.. but how really knows?.. as for mozart.. and other baroque composers they really have this musical standards and pattern... talents are born really but music is not at all pure talent... it is dedication.....

[Exhume2Consume]

@wilkyx who the fuck says "analise it"

[wilkyx]

@Exhume2Consume er....obviously not you without chuckling to yourself that you said 'anal' oo err

[surrealillness]

@wilkyx Hendrix didnt invent anything new musically just instrumentally..revolutionized how to play guitar and its sound..

[chakolo]

nice vocal harmony!

[musicalmenace1]

does anyone who the singer's from the conventry carol are - i love that part! it's so beautiful. i sang it with my choir but in an altered version, this is much better!

[musicalmenace1]

does anyone Know ofcourse - verb..

[oregonskateok]

I loved singing coventry carol in my choir =).
