Lol, had my guitar lesson and my teacher said that the lead singer took guitar lessons at our place and then jumped ship after he learned all his major and minor chords and then just started to write songs and started vampire weekend, these guys are great
@smelltheglove203810 ай бұрын
I mean, let’s be honest, once you learn the chord shapes everything else just comes naturally. Well, I guess that depends on how much music you listen to and if you have any sort of inherent musical talent. You have to listen to lots of music to be a good musician, imo. A friend of mine has been playing guitar for well over a decade but still cannot jam with others, or improvise a solo. Still cannot play in the proper key. Some people just don’t have it.

@Casey3-P-O Жыл бұрын
Simplicity. This song is just based off of simple harmony. 3rd intervals. They hang on one chord from the ending of the first verse and it takes you to the next section very naturally. They have great lyrics. I'm guessing at least 1 or 2 of them know a bit of music theory. Sometimes people are really good at taking simple things, like basic harmony for instance, and using it in really original, yet classical ways. They're just smart, basically. But they don't do too much. The best things are simple. Even a lot of things that seem complicated are very simple when you break them down to their parts.

This is so brilliant. It brings up the excellent point that small errors, such as grammatical errors, in properly conveying an idea are quite insignificant, and begs the question as to (if this is idea is understood) why the one critiquing cares about the error anyways? The song is most likely implying that critiquing is used to feel above or better than the person who made the error, even though they made an excellent point. Amazing real-world application in these lyrics, and a very musically sound structure! I cannot get enough!
