 Well hey everybody let's make another me music video. If I sound a little bit ridiculous it's because I'm just getting over a cold and I don't think I'm quite there yet so I apologize for that. But anyways this is a video which has made the rounds many times over the years and is tremendously popular and I think many of you may know it and I think this is a really good one to do because it again we're dealing with some singing and then we're also dealing with some how do I say this I think I think we have an opportunity to draw from our environment to create rhythm basically meaning we might be able to just strip a beat out of thin air well not out of thin air out of sounds that happen in the video but you know what I mean so let's check it out. Hi yes hello before we start here's a list of faces I will make in this video please enjoy thanks okay I don't know how many times I've seen the video in my life um it's still funny I'm sorry it is it just is so let's dig into the very first part of it which is she's doing some singing and I think uh I think there's a chance that we're sort of maybe maybe a little in between keys we might be kind of in and out of some places but that is our job as accompanists to try to figure out what's the singer doing and how do we follow them so yeah let's just transcribe what she's singing so let's get into it okay so let's see what's going on in the very beginning here so we have so I think that's that's pretty you know but then we kind of we drop a half step there yep and now we're in a new key I think we might be in between A and B flat there this is one of those scenarios I think I mentioned it in the last video it's like okay well we kind of we kind of have an in between note so what's going to serve us better so so right there I mean if we're talking about harmony that's A flat B flat C I mean that maybe the most obvious thing to do there's you know just because it's one two three of A flat but we don't like doing the obvious thing we want to make it more complicated for literally no reason uh how would that let's see go to a four like a D flat sound but then she drops a half step so we can just drop right down and then where'd she go okay and then the next note is the one we're not sure of could be either one of those so if we're coming from oops is there any other way we could do that how else would that work well that could work on how would that work let's see minor I mean that kind of works it does work but it's it's a little it's a little tough what about it works there but again it's a little bit obscure uh how about hmm it works there it's the same thing right so uh that is let's see so we're either talking about D flat to C or we're talking about B flat to A which is basically the same thing just one is the relative minor of the other so if you have D flat major seven you have B flat minor seven it's the same it's basically the same quote uses all it uses like pretty much all the same notes pretty interchangeable so we could do either one so I think it's going to depend on where we go next like what are we going to do after that so then we have this we know that's the right one but then we're somewhere in the middle of that you know what in my brain I was hoping that it was going to be perfectly in between so that we could pick whatever one was going to be more useful uh but I think the reality is she kind of slides through it or to it but I think it's a B flat my brain was hoping it was going to be in it I was going to be able to get away with an A because that would that would allow us to stay in this sort of new in this new key I guess in this new place that we kind of came to after that first chord we could do something with it like or but now we got to deal with a B flat so we got to go from here that's not that hard what am I talking about that's really not that hard no I don't like that I everyone's in a while just play something totally stupid and you immediately just go ah no okay here's an idea what if we what what if we did this thing where the first two notes we're using we're using the major seventh of the whatever the chord is so D flat the melody is the major seven C the melody is the major seven right what if we stick to that for just a second just for this opening bit of this piece which would make the next one and then oh it's a little weird let's see I don't like the ending I do like that's not bad oh what if we made it a suscord my problem is going to be flat there is that the melody is B flat and like how boring is that to use literally the chord that the melody is it's just not that interesting so I'm trying to get away from that somehow where's that bringing us two suscords in a row secondary dominance oh no well where does she go next let's find that out may that be a helpful piece of information to have all right so now now we're in G started in well G I say G I don't know what it's going to be but we started now we're here so we've we've dropped that melody phrase down a half step oh now that's an A so now this is okay so that's easier to deal with because we're not really kind of changing key so we're gonna start definitely not going there oh I kind of like that let's see that's not bad okay what's next we are up on the table now things are about to go down huh huh so now we're getting into the song so it's some of the notes are really good you know it's just like the consistencies it's a it's a it's a little bit all over the place but that's okay I mean you know the tone of her voice is really nice okay wait uh we're not there yet we're not there yet that B flat really throws everything off because I mean there's a lot of different ways I can use it but no matter what I have to introduce a sound that's a half step away from the one I was just on which means that I've got to use something where the entire tonal center is going to be a half step off somehow unless the only way I can get away from that is if I use some sort of like some sort of of uh alteration like an upper extension of a chord that that brings that in where so for example I mean we're still in G in that point which is the same but the problem I have with that is that this whole sort of vibe that we're creating isn't really it doesn't really lend itself well to something that different sounding uh and it's not just that I couldn't find a way to make it work but I'm trying to stick with this sort of lots of major seventh chords lots lots of minor you know minor ninth chords or like sus chords sus 13 chords I'm trying to stick with like a diatonic kind of sound rather than like a super crazy alteration heavy upper extension world of these crazy chords you know like like um you know all all kinds of not so stuff that I could play but it's gonna it's gonna change the sound right so that's why I'm trying to stick to something where it'll work in a more congruent way with the rest of what I've come up with so far but I I do kind of like that it's kind of a neat it's kind of a neat theme girl I feel so bad for it but it's so funny um I'm just gonna leave those last two notes as they are because that's hilarious I think we got something do you hear it listen I'm gonna break that up so that so that you can hear it easily hold on listen to this it's literally it's the chair the chair in the foreground when the table hits the chair it makes like a real small kind of like backbeat snare almost so stupid okay um so that sounds awfully close let me let me maybe maybe in time you can it might work it might work we might actually have the crash of the table at the same tempo that her song is so after we play through the whole thing we can literally go back and use the crash of the table as like a drum track for the whole thing um wow okay let me mess with this for a minute and I'll be back all right I got it it's it so here's the deal it was it was almost perfect but I did I did take the speed and duration and I dropped it down to like 95 percent because it was ever so slightly too fast but normally I don't ever touch the videos I work with in any way shape or form because I just think it's better if you know if I'm literally transcribing exactly what's going on but in this case I don't know I just thought this was too good to pass up so I slowed it down by by just five percent so that it would fit here's here's the finished product you ready for this watch this it's so stupid it is literally the dumbest thing I think I've ever made in my well no it's not because my videos are pretty dumb but it is on the list of the dumbest things I've ever made and yeah it needs a little tweaking it needs a little uh a little finesse but I think it's there I think it's there so what we're gonna do is is uh we're gonna make the video and uh and then I'm going to I'm gonna add all the chords that we just worked on and and we're gonna figure out how to make this thing into a song so uh yeah let's let's um I'll be I'll be right back with that and so for this video I've gone into logic and I've added some additional instruments for that last part where we've got like a kind of a beat going on um just to make it even more ridiculous and yeah so here's the finished product and that's it for today's creation thank you so much for watching uh please let me know in the comments what video you'd like to see me build from scratch next don't forget I'm available on cameo and as well I have a link to my patreon in the description thank you so much for your support and I look forward to seeing you in the next video
