nerd

Any musician understands that this video is outrageously impressive to make This deserves millions more views man I'm speechless

This was so so so good

The mario kart thing was sofucking funny, legit laughed for a couple minutes

Oh yeah you know I loved that Mario Kart intro.

*shows a bunch of crazy stuff* "ok now to part III, the first crazy part"

Everything everyone else already said + wow, a music analysis that uses a black background so that my eyes don't hurt like hell? Music is evolving!

He straight up analyzed the “ah ah ah!” Inflections of Cory Henry surprising himself. 😆 we went from harmonic analysis to psychoanalysis

The fact that you took the time to transcribe AND analyze this amazes me. The time you put into this is deeply appreciated by all of us music theory nerds.

Im glad they solved music. Now i can burn my fiddle as firewood and finally go to sleep.

This is amazing. Bro you should be teaching advanced jazz theory at Berklee.

Your editing and presentation is STUNNING, beautiful graphics. This must have taken you ages, so many lovely details. Yes and I agree the colour blue looks very good. I love the visual minimalism. Not to mention great bit of musical analysis. Subscribing.

I don't know much about music theory and didn't understand almost anything what you've said. It was still fun to watch and to see how much I don't know and how crazy and complex music theory can be.

This is crazy like I did not know this level of musicianship existed

When the brain is moving this fast, one doesn't even know that this is the amount of information in a bar of music. Stunning. Just a flow of creativity.

*Just smile and nod and pretend you know what he’s talking about* But seriously your dedication to transcribe and analyse this is insane. All my hats off to you

Analysis ✅ Editing ✅ Delivery ✅ Presentation ✅ Amazing video, even though I didn't understand most of the theory 😆😆

this video is so incredibly impressive. I can't imagine the number of hours it must have taken to transcribe their playing, analyze it, then create all these impressive digital visualizations of their lines to perfectly highlight exactly what is important. The analysis was well-paced, upbeat, with structural, emotional, and practical comments mixed in with theoretical discussion, without losing sight of the fact that this isn't a perfectly concocted piece, its just a jam. Absolutely amazing video, I subbed instantly.

The color blue looks good in this video

Now I definitely know that Jacob wasn't alone when he came from his planet. You came with him.

I really appreciate that I was able to watch this video for more than 5 minutes without it being interrupted by an advertisement. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know what is higher, the level of content quality or the level of madness!

The editing in this video kills me 😂😂

I love how he just hammers down the crazy chords frustratedly after analysing them :D

How on earth did you transcribe this??! That’s genius in itself!! To unscramble that - what incredible ears you have! Thank you!

I really like your editing style. You have a nice voice too.

Bro you are so underrated this is the best video I've seen in a long Time

that’s what i was gonna say

Man it's so cool to find people making high quality vids on people I really do be vibing with :^)

C jam is a meme at our school lmao

Daaamnnn! Hats off to you my brother.🙏 Some crazy amount of time, effort and quality went into this video! Very pleasing for the ears, eyes and brain. Keep it up! 💪

Man this video is awesome. Your visualisations are top notch.

PDF of transcription and audio files are now available at www.leonwaves.com/shop. Details in description.

You know that wonderful feeling you get when you take a chance on a video that comes up in your feed and you discover a whole new channel full of goodies you never knew existed until now and you click the subscribe button right away because you don't want to miss anything else? This is it for me!

Leon, I grinned as I watched this whole thing. I SO APPRECIATE your trying to _explain_ why these interacting rifts happened. I am an absolute BEGINNER with a scant understanding of even some of the concepts put forward here. But as you've notated a real performance, I get a chance to integrat my "ear" with some KNOWLEDGE. Thank you!!

10/10 sent me to therapy

Personally, I thought blue was a color.

The Mario kart thing just made my day :)

just heard of jacob the other day. What you are doing is even more impressive. the initial scroll pan of the transcription was a great touch too. but mostly you have combined 3 forms of learning into this one detailed analysis. Hearing, reading, and visual learning. The visual for me is very important because while I love and appreciate fancy music I need those training wheels. This is far and away the most thorough video media analysis of a piece of (improvised!) music I've ever seen. Are there more people doing this? I will look -- thank you for the inspiration and attention to detail. totally subd *and! slowing the passages down was really helpful too, hear it then sloowwwed wtf!

Can't even begin to describe how long this would have taken I am completely in awe.

I don’t understand music like this but youre enthusiasm and humor made me almost watch the entire video lol

The editing on this is great. When the mario kart bit started I lost it 😂. Great video!

This videos make me almost understand music

This is the music equivalent of kung fu/martial arts fighting. The way they respond to each other so quickly is like watching a fast paced fight scene in a movie.

the composition in the thumbnail scares me

I feel so musically dumb right now. This is is amazing.

Friend, as a filmmaker and musician, I have to say that the not only the THOROUGHNESS and tidiness of the content, but the flawlessly informative and effective visuals, is maybe just as impressive as the original piece. You put some WORK into deciphering what is a musical Rosetta Stone tablet, and then paired it with fantastic mograph work. Mad respect. I can’t imagine how long this took. You have a new sub. How the heck did you even scribe this?? (Ps the Mario Kart opener killed me!)

This vid is sick, funny and very informative, and the editing and displays that correlate with your narration are great!!! Subscribed dude I want to see more

This analysis in a nutshell dominant 7 chords everywhere mixed in with a nice dump of Lydian inspiration Great analysis Love from Sweden

This is so well edited and put together, keep up the great works

Jacob just posted this vid on Instagram!

Holy crap. That fact that you transcribed and analyzed this. Wow!!! Dude.

As a person who failed music theory in high school, this is a well done analysis video.

Umm....holy crap man. Just listening to Jacob and Cory play this blows my mind. Your breakdown of this makes my mind implode. Unreal.

Leon, this video is superb...really made my day to nerd out on this after teaching music lessons all day... Excellent breakdown and very cool presentation! Would love to see more transcription breakdowns in this style....maybe some of the greats too? Bill Evans, Art Tatum, Herbie, Oscar etc ? Subscribed!!!!

your animation and aesthetic are so intuitive and clean! I would love to see the making process of your videos :0

The fact that that was improvised and it sounds like something that was worked on for 5 years.

Best KZfaq recommandation since 2008

Damn. Even Jacob be acknowledging this video now

i don’t know anything. ANYTHING. about music or music theory but I watched the whole video and it was great. that’s a sign of a good video

I can’t imagine the amount of work that this video took you.. actually incredible

That Mario kart edit totally earned you this like.

Stunning analysis and presentation. Enjoyed it greatly. Hugely impressive, well done!

Any video that puts mario kart sound effects gets instant sub. That’s the cross over content I love.

Best transcription video I've seen, bar none. Damn. Amazing work.

this site is a treasure chest of knowledge.

I legitimately could not BEGIN to understand half of all of this

Wow! Dude this is awesome what an amazing content, the animation, the topic, the transcription, the explanation, everything on point, please give me more

Feels weird to call something blues that doesn’t make me feel anything but “hm, that’s pretty interesting”

Thank you for putting in this work. The subjects and the commentator seem to have the kind of brilliance that doesn't shut me down but inspires me to play better and think better.

My God that Mario Kart intro part absolutely killed me. Took me completely by surprise. This is amazing content.

This is one of the amazing transcriptions I've ever seen in my life!!!!! Subbed!

As a 2nd-year music ed major this vid both amazes me and hurts my brain in the best way possible

one of the best music vids on youtube. thank you for all the effort put into transcribing, graphics, the sound editing, and analysis, idk how you did all of it

KZfaq's algorithm can't flag this because it doesn't understand wtf happened. 😄 great lesson!!

Impressive. I won’t remember a note of it. But I realize these guys are just having fun, and they can play it, so more power to them! Can’t believe you transcribed all of this. You’re amazing man!

Your knowledge and transcribing skills are on the same level as those two legends. BIG UPS!!!

I think it would have taken me lifetime to transcribe this. This is totally crazy man!!!

Dense but with great clarity, even for those of us not as well-versed in theory. Superb visuals. This is a mind-numbing amount of work. Thank you.

I'm just casual music listener, I can't read note, not basic music edu, nor transcript whatsoever, but that....that sounds made my brain juggling (in happy way)!

It's mind boggling how there's people out there that improvise stuff and the rest of us study it in a master class just trying to figure it out

I had heard of the legendary scribes but never had i seen one do his thing... you sir... are amazing.

Leon, this is mind blowing content. You’re graphics are ultramodern & beautiful. Kudo’s to you young man.

The work you’ve put into this is crazy, thank you for tuis crazy video

the editing on this is absolutely superb. i don't really understand any of this but you explain it in a way that somehow makes me it.. make sense? i guess this is a reminder to go back and study some more lol

The amount of talent and effort that went into this - damn man. Subscribed in the first 2 minutes.

Transcription and analysis of a virtuosity matching that of the players - bravo!

Cory is just a frickin beast!!!! How does he even come up with these solos

You are a mad scientist my friend. You really decided to transcribe this?? Goodness.

Honestly i'm more impressed with your amazing job (transcription, analysis, video editing) than with the song 😂 great job man!

This is some high level shit right here, amazing analysis. Just transcribing that jam is a pretty big undertaking, let alone analysing bar by bar. Hats off mate, whew

Crazy how you transcribed all of this, mindblown

Anyone else hear "it gets funkier" at 2:00?

Hello I came back after 9 months to say again that this video is a masterpiece!

there is so much skill and expertise between jacob collier and cory henry. it makes me question why i even try when there’s people like that out there with crackhead level improv skills

That smash bros. X Mario kart level intro to the transcription was Brill 🤣

KZfaq be killing it with the recommendations of late. Subscribed! You, Neely, Cornell, Omniboi, Everman, TwoSet, Collier, MonoNeon and Vulfpeck pretty much round out my core KZfaq music block now. #Thankful

i have found the greatest youtuber of all time

the work that goes into analyzing this is so crazy

Gold content. This channel deserves way more.
