Level1 Ensemble Berklee Guitar Sessions 2007

[rbsanchez100]

How much more money they will spend in this School?

[manu1695]

Dude pace yourself it's not about speed

[fredmoonlight]

What a suck!

[Andrewrb010]

THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT BERKLEE........

WOW not only does it sound like shit..... WAAAYYYYYY off time in SOOOOO many spots.

[melissblissers]

berklee ruins peoples lives..

[ChewUpz]

some ones out of tuuune ear rape!

[legendofakira]

Once again proving that you DO NOT need to go to any school to learn how to suck.

[Lovro222]

you HAVE to be kidding me, what the fuck!? What are the girl and the feelingless guitarist doing there!?

[atl2maryland]

i think Berklee as a school is a whole bunch of hype

[alepaan]

They are the best being the worst.

[swood07413]

dude these are the summer sessions not actual academic classes. its like their guitar camp for anyone.

[panamanian911]

every couple weeks i watch this and remind myself that i might most probably get into berklee lmao

[runwidaguitar446]

r u kidding me? THEY got in to berklee?

[SworDsYv2]

metalhead guitarists man...insane chops but they always play souless music like this. however, the insanity of their chops is enough for Berklee.

[jasperpickering]

that was terrible.

[wilm923]

this video makes me want to kill myself. i just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

[piccicacca]

kudos to the bassist and the drummer .

[Whatisthescore]

@wags699 It's immoral and fraudulent. They accept untalented students and designed an unfair learning curve to force these students to drop out after a couple semesters of paying tuition! Berklee should be sued.

[misanthroposy]

The only people that look like they know what their doing is the bassist and drummer and the look on their faces sometimes are like "what the hell am I getting myself into here " That kid with the white vai ibanez is pretty good though with the impovised solo.

[KindOfBlue27]

i cant believe any of these ppl actualy got in, terrible everyting!

[Whatisthescore]

These kids are being scammed into paying tuition.. They don't belong in music school.

[MartinZ136]

this sounds fucking horrible man, cmon u have to work on this a lot

[Tonycaveman]

This sounds so indescribably bad.

[HippieDrummer06]

EVERYBODY! this is a LEVEL ONE ENSEMBLE! which means that this is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to talent/skill and blablabla....the levels go up to 8! in other words, they get pretty fucking insane...

[misanthroposy]

@HippieDrummer06 Yeah but this is what a bunch of 13 year old boys sound like. that have been playing for maybe a year. And that improvised solo was all over the place. I'm pretty sure he hit every note on the neck.

[paulefty]

looks like loads of fun!

[chud89]

got to love it when these young guitarist get cocky they have there own costume one with shades the other with some kurt cobain hair goin on hahahaha good luck

[jdkjkjdkjdks]

hhaha, rubbish, seriously pure rubbish. I thought Berklee holds the mega star.

[RoberCnp00]

This is Berklee?

[arturorulesfuckers19]

jajajajajajajajajajaja it sounds like shit

[Kiejzo]

I would love to go in there and play, they'd be like oh thats how you do it. Lol jk Im not that great.

[jclp777]

yeah neither are these guys, i thought you had to be at least decent at your instrument to go to berkley

[Kiejzo]

Yea, no you dont, I know a professor that works there and he told me I'd be better off going to MI over in L.A.

[Basti618]

I can't wait to go to GIT dude, I've been trying to compare this two eccentric schools for a while... And I believe MI is the way to go, its pricey though!!! ;)

[Gu1tari5t]

clearly you can pick it up for the first time and you can get into berklee, they are all out of tune

[rkalamdani]

there not into berklee they are at the 1 week summer guitar sessions. These are the beginners. they have three levels. btw i got in check my stuff

[Ang3lus2006]

the bassist and drummer are actually very good

without them it would sound worse

[johnnny1112]

this looks almost like a summer like week class

[DyerMaker2110]

ah i get it, these are the people who gave Berklee a big check at their audition after failing miserably.. iiii ggettt itt.

[Whatisthescore]

Berklee's a scam everybody knows that!

[pmacj]

man i might be able to get in there after watching this

[xDrizZt]

...are you kidding?

This is how good you have to be to get into Berklee?

[nthsieh928]

they said "level 1" ensemble. the ensembles there get pretty fucking ridiculous

[MerlinBunny1]

@xDrizZt This isn't "Berklee". This is the summer course that any kid can get into if they've played for 2 years and just pay the price. This is the lowest level ensemble of those kids.

[melissblissers]

I heard Berklee was a scam

[nartrock]

Don't expect much from summer sessions, but that chick with the strat is hot!

[headbanger623]

wow that guy on he jackson sucks the sweat off of a dead guys balls.

[Drucef]

LMFAO!!!

[Drucef]

Why the hell would you spend $2000+ on a Steve Vai signature JEM? People think that just because they buy the guitar that they're going to sound just like them. Even if you buy all of the preamps and every little electronic instrument your hero has, you're not going to get the exact tone. The ultimate tone comes from your fingers...and with that being said, you might as well just buy a good guitar that's worth the money.

[Phrygian12]

or maybe he bought it cause he likes it lol

meh jems are okay imo i dont like them that much

they just seem like eye candy to me

[Drucef]

Perhaps...I like the RG models the way they are. The JEM is a custom RG. I just bought an RG2550Z and it's fuckin' sweet. I would feel so lame showing up to Berklee with a Steve Vai signature guitar. People would and should laugh at you if you do.

[Phrygian12]

lol your comments are funny

people shouldn't laugh if you have a signature guitar,that just tells me their either a big fan of who ever or they just really like their set up,and some people are guitar collectors, i dont see why you find that funny or lame

whats lame is your musician ship

have respect for others

as for gear the only ibanez guitars i like are all the S series(S,SA,SV) so on

[Phrygian12]

what i really want is a Caparison Horus(Scarab/GO)

and a Shawn Lane Vigier omg that guitar is super smooth!

[Drucef]

That's what I thought....YOU have NO clue, so shut up bitch.

[Phrygian12]

lmao dude chill out

okay mr.music theory teacher

explain to me what a Revers Polarity is?

=p

[Drucef]

...now you're trying to insult me for teaching theory because I know more...typical. 'Reverse polarity' is used to describe changing the values of certain chords in a given key. Like in a major key, changing a ii to a II and iii to III and IV to iv, or a vi to a VI, etc...

Is that the best you got? You still didn't answer my question. If you're working with reverse polarity, then you can study related topics and figure out how to answer my question, but you're a bitch, so you probably won't.

[Phrygian12]

im just amazed on how your so serious lol

you do know alot more theory then me

but take this advice...get of off youtube

hang out with some friends or love one.

and relax

i dont care how great you are with music theory(that i give you respect on) but your musician ship is lame =p

so what exactly did you mean with V/IV chord in Eb? are you talking about a parallel?

[hisami09]

wow,you might be one of the nicest person ever on here.

[Drucef]

No...what I said is if you show up to Berklee with a Vai signature guitar they will laugh at you. How does that make my musicianship lame and portray my lack of respect? You're an idiot.

I have an S series. I like 24 fret prestige necks so I like the RG better.

[Phrygian12]

lol and my point is proven

you really have no idea

btw great video guys hope yall can find what your after,i will be going to Berklee soon

-peace

[Drucef]

I have no idea? How do you figure? Berklee doesn't want Steve Vai wannabees. You have no idea and I can tell from this conversation. You're obviously not a good guitar player. 23,000 dollars of mommy's money for a semester MIGHT help.

[Phrygian12]

lol your very imature

btw your talking to a guitar teacher

and soon to be music theory teacher

i would love to see some of your great guitar playing.

thats great that your going to berklee wish my parents would pay for me to go

[Drucef]

Again, it's 'immature'. Get it right. I'm a guitar teacher myself...and I DO teach music theory. So obviously, YOU have no clue. Oh, and learn to read a bit better. I was ripping on you for using your mommy's money to get into Berklee. I know tons of people who have and are attending Berklee. You don't know what you're talking about and you're in for a serious reality check if you think this video demonstrates the life at Berklee.

[Phrygian12]

lol so what is V6/5?

i did read it right i was insulting you lol

and so what every one makes typos

jumping the gun on a mistake like that tells me alot on what kind of person you are

i dont care about being famous

im going there for an education in music

so far what ive been looking at and talking to others experiences its a hard school "this video demonstrates the life at Berklee." what summer camp? its just a one week program just like M.I.

[Drucef]

V6/5 is a first inversion dominant 7th chord. You can't school me. So don't even try. Tell me...what is a V/IV chord in Eb, and where is it likely to go? ..and don't ask your boyfriend.

No...you didn't read it right. How do you use something I said to you and say it to me? That's retarded.

Yes, you do care. ...and I'm fully aware of this video. It's part of a 5 week program. Not 1 week.

[IChinaManI]

V/IV in Eb? So basically an Ab dominant 7th, and it's likely to resolve to Db major?

[kalamdani1]

V7/IV in Eb is Eb7 which resolves to Ab

[kotzen081]

lol sorry dude, you DONT have a Clue

when did Berklee state such a thing also

your totally inmature

its a shame your mommy is paying for a lame musician or player or what ever the heck you are

[Drucef]

Sure...I don't have a clue...so tell me...what do you know that I don't? By the way, you haven't done your research on a school you want to go to. You're just another dumbass who wants to go to Berklee because you think it will make you a big rockstar. People from Berklee always state those things...again...do some research dipshit.

Oh also, immature is spelled 'immature', not inmature.

Good job with the comeback...using what I said. Typical noob.

[Drucef]

Oh, I was paying attention...two different people posted. Kotzen081, learn to read before jumping in a conversation and making yourself look stupid. Another noob.

[hisami09]

Noob? i think some one needs to get off of youtube for a little bit

you know all this stuff you can pretty much google so in reality you may not know much.

same goes with Phrygian

for a person that knows theory and teaches you would think they know how to approach a person

if you dislike Berklee why even bother people who are going. and so far this argument you were trying to handle,you did a poor job on i would hate to be your student

your Musicianship IS lame sorry

[Drucef]

No I have a degree. I'm a guitar teacher and I teach elements of theory.

Who said I dislike Berklee? You need to learn to read dipshit.

No one cares what you think. Go jerk off in your mom's underwear.

[hisami09]

lmao please

enough with these childish insults

to me it sounds like your a lonely 25 yearold man who lives with their mommy and daddy who still has wet dreams about making with a girl

=D see i can throw the same silly insults just as you

seriously take Phrygian12's advice

get a woman.

lol also how can i jerk off in my mothers underwear? i dont have a dick unlike you.

seems like thats a little to far up your ass.

im done =p go head and make a kiddie come back

[Drucef]

Oh wow...you got me. I'm crushed! :(

[Whatisthescore]

berklee loves scamming people like this lol they will never graduate and they know it. they'll just take their money.

[delpimpo]

how many levels are there?

[hsantana91]

Lesson No. 1: This is not an example of Berklee's music program, this is an example of their reknowned summer program for people who aren't in their school (obviously attractive to teens).

Lesson No. 2: Nothing personal guys, but your thumbs have more use up your butt than wrapped around the guitar like a baseball bat.

[Drucef]

LMAO!

One of my friends will use his thumb to create certain chord voicings. I hate it, but it was the only way to do it. But yeah, that's obviously bad technique.

[GetOutOfMyYard]

This raises the question...If THIS guy can make it into Berklee, then is it really all that it's cracked up to be?

[pacificguitarist]

This is a summer session one week long type of summer camp. Not actual berklee.

[GetOutOfMyYard]

Thank God.

[mattGK]

oh man.

[reverster]

That is way off key. Tighten it up gentlemen!

[thejiggsaw]

i'm so glad that my ensemble class during that week got to play some Zappa...

Peaches En Regalia and Echidna's Arf

[dillyo40]

this is a one week summer guitar session the school offers so potential students can come check it out. Its not tremendously involved and the rate people on three levels, this is the lowest level. Not a good representation of the school at all

[capnkansas]

sick im going to that this summer!!!!

[ViolenzaPlebea]

Oh my god this is pure crap, here in italy we have the mith of american music school...but I'm starting to thik that we ARE THE MUSIC!

P.S.

WE=(europe)

[Phazer89]

alla lizard gli facciamo il culo a questi...

[ViolenzaPlebea]

ahahahaha si si e quando andavo io la qualità degli insegnanti era pure superiore...già che mellner non c'è più hanno perso molto a livello di insegnamento

[KSeshreddr0205]

Man you cant judge a whole country by this video,i agree tho,its not very pretty

[dugli19]

What you're saying is crap too, because you can't judge all american music schools from a 4 minutes video. And I'm in this video, and I'm french (=europeen) so you are saying shit

[Fadurblinz123]

pretty good, but the video quality sucks
