  3. Idk, the vocal on the Perry hook kinda sucks. Sounds like she's really straining her voice, has a really strong peak at, like 4-6k, really compressed, way too forward. Almost sounds like she has a bitcrusher on her voice. The Dagny vocal is alot better. Smoother delivery, more dynamic.

  7. Guitars have been on the rise for a decade or so now. Alot of the underground hiphop guys used that tone on their rise and its only natural that trends in HipHop made their way into Pop. What's gonna be interesting is if we get out of the 80s and 70s and into the 90s with the tone. Punk and grunge are seeing a big revival in the underground.

  11. Radio pop is basically trap music right now. Pop as a genre is pretty varied these days. Electro, Synth, Indie, Art, Baroque, K/JPop, etc. Just takes a little more digging than flipping on the 'pop music' radio station.

  17. I've never been a guitar-music guy but I love how particular guitar musicians are about strings, frets, amps, etc. It reminds me of the way mix and mastering engineers are about phase and resonances. Also, there is definitely a tangible difference between these takes. If you think about how the amp and cab are are responding to the voltage input, having a different set of input amplitudes is gonna give you a different timbre post-amp/cab. It's the same concept as flipping your tone switch or doing the same distortion pre or post amp. All of these gauges have their place but the 8s and 9s seem more useful/flexible across the board.

  25. I wish there was an app or program that could visualize all chordmodes in terms of brightness and darkness from a selected key and then you could choose another target and make a progression out of it.

  28. Yeah, alot of these takes are straight up untrue. They are true if you only consider pop music or, as Tantacrul calls it, "the big dumb lake". The key reason I can see that drives this whole thing is a lack of familiarity with the explosion of subgenres with the advance of the internet. Like, if you only look at Billboard Top 100, you'll never hit on a Clipping, Sturgill Simpson, Kamasi Washington, Aphex Twin, or FKA Twigs as a very very small sampling of all the possible organizations of music. Music is better than ever without question. Judging it by the big dumb lake is an antiquated 'old head', 'goat farmer' idea.

  29. I actually recently got another one to add to this list (from 12tone). Augmented 7th (ie V+ of harmonic minor) introduces a tritone that leads you to a major/minor key. Since the Aug is isomorphic, you can move to one of three keys off it (similar to the Enharmonic Dim7 trick)

  31. Only temporarily. We're coming out of the 80s and into the 90s.

  32. Grab a fretless and play quartertone Middle Eastern music. Atonal/inharmonic music. Basically anything that's not 'normie' music.

  33. He's talking about hitting polyrhythmic stuff really really fast.

  34. Gonna be really stoked when reggaeton and dancehall go the fuck away. Of all the possible exciting Latin grooves, every single artist chooses the exact same one and its irritating. Like, wheres the samba, batucada, salsa, merengue, ya know? Change up the speed, the rhythms, the instruments... something ffs

  35. It's alot easier when you have resources like Rick available, for sure.

  38. I come back to this and the first one alot. If you ever redo em, Rick, please keep these up and link to the new ones. I can't afford to lose this info. EDIT: Oh, it's all in the Beato Book 4.0. Nevermind, do what you want lol

  41. Lol, have you never played a first person video game with mouse and keyboard? You probably hit the spacebar a million times more than this.

  42. This might be a joke but I legit love his book. There's alot of guitar fingerings but the stuff inbetween in priceless.

  43. I'm pretty sure he uses EWQLSO

  44. So this is improper use of trap hat rolls. The goal of hat rolls is to take the place of open hats, reverses, and other fx that transition between snare/clap and primary syncopational elements. It's like the reverse clap you hear in funk tunes before the clap or the reverse tom/snare in 80s synth-heavy tunes.

  45. Hmmm, I get this sorta stuff but doesn't it feel static? Don't you want it to go somewhere? I have the inkling to isolate a part and then 'reharm' it and move the track into that section. Maybe sonata like? I feel like this is only the beginning information.

  46. How does the Epica track not sound like symphonic metal always has?

  50. Hell yes. I love this. People don't really share this sorta stuff and this is what will grow people most. Connection is powerful, whether it's through music or conversation or anything, really. We ground each other and validate experience and grow together. It sucks to lose someone but we all know we have our time and, hopefully, we spent it well when it's over. Be thankful for each moment, good and bad, because there will come a time when you can't be.

  51. "famous" being the operative word. Fame is not synonymous with talent, expression, or a message. This last decade is proof of that. I can't imagine Hendrix doing TikToks and screaming his brains out over trap beats.

  52. For some reason, alot of the shapes the lead guitar uses reminds me of Vektor... but phrygian instead of lydian.

  53. I really like these new mode videos but idk that they surplant the previous videos. They're kinda like companion videos. I really enjoy the chord lists, talkin about the upper extensions, and the more theoretical stuff.

  54. I was thinking, yesterday, that Billie Eilish is kinda on the threshold of doing some real crazy interesting stuff. She reminds me of Radiohead, Bjork, or some of the IDM guys.

  58. I'm 30, have been listening to music (that wasn't my parents' music) since I was about 11. I started off with alt metal and hard rock, went quickly to EDM, and since my 20s, I've basically been listening to anything. Metal, jazz, rock, pop, hip-hop, world music, classical, etc. What I've noticed about my tastes is that my adolescence was spent listening to visceral, accessible music and, as I grew older, I gravitated to more thoughtfully composed music. Now, I'm starting to go back in the opposite direction. I appreciate a cerebral jazz tune or contemporary classical piece but I can also find enjoyment in a well-made pop banger, as long as it's made with intention and care. At the end of the day, it's about effective communication and an interesting message.

  62. Yeah, NBM is where its at. If I can tell the vocalist from the guitar from the cymbals, it's not metal.

  63. So it's basicially an +7 chord without a 3rd, with a 2nd, or with a b3rd that prepares the dominant chord below it.

  67. Damn. That first Stapleton track grew hair on my chest and put a glass of whiskey in my hand. Honestly, I was only interested inasmuch as Kendrick could win a bunch of accolades for NLU. He deserve it aaaaalll

  70. Haven't even started and I'm forecasting 'This isn't even rock.' EDIT: Color me impressed. 8/10 were actually rock songs. That's certainly an improvement.

  71. If people are legit thinking these songs are complete throwaways, they've probably forgotten why we make music in the first place.

  72. Totally agree. Apple doesn't bring anything but a headache to the table. If companies actively made software for Linux, I wouldn't ever have to use a Windows system.

  74. Hey Rick! What sound library are those woodwinds? EWQLSO?

  75. The difference between crystallized and procedural memory. Some people just 'get' facts and figures. I never did. I have to rep flashcards to remember half of what I know. But if you put hard science in front of me, I become a insatiable monster. I see the lines and not the individual points that make them up. Neither is a disability; it's just how you are built. Once you know that, you can press your strengths and mitigate your weaknesses. It's never the status you're born with that makes a person great, it's what a person did with the status they were given.

  80. Okay so, like, I get the diatonic and relative minor/major mediants but I cannot intuit a use for the parallel minor/major mediants in a jazz context. They just seem way too dissonant to be anything but passing chords.

  81. I was thinking the bandaid was supposed to be an allusion to Nelly but I remembered that he had the bandaids on his cheek. My brain encoded him as 'the guy with the bandaid'

  82. Hey Rick, Is this project file or MIDI available?

  83.  @Metalton95  Cause it's not different. Metal has never been significantly different than anything in the normie music sphere.

  84. Somebody once told me (the world was gonna roll me) that metal is just rock that rocks too hard to be rock.

  85. I'm not debating skill. I'm not so familiar with both artists and singing as an artform to make a qualified opinion on either's technical skill. However, I will say that either this take (or, probably more accurately, the series of takes that were stitched together to comprise her vocal) was pretty poor or the processing (particularly the compression and distortion) was overdone. Whatever is going on here behind the scenes, this is not a good outcome.
