Honestly, I have felt some boredom, but then I remind myself of the prominent greats in jazz, and that renews my enthusiasm towards it.

Good Lord, your improvisation is much more tuneful and passionately played than the cerebral dry drivel of Collier that you seem to look up to so much, ^oo^

@@bernardthedisappointedowl6938 Right?In my opinion, Jacob Collier is sooo much better when he has fewer options. In most of his music, it sounds like it's complex for the sake of complexity only and doesn't have a purpose.

Very true, Adam.

don't everyone think this??

seems legit

😂😅😊

Hahahahahaha, thank you for this new information

Jaja no he doesn’t

Who needs music school when you got Charles Cornell and Adam Neely?

@@raftag590899 well he's at least saving me hella hours trying to figure it out on my own. Theory is really basic math but if you can't flex it in context then you get stuck where I am - I love playing but I can't compose for crap and sometimes don't understand what I'm playing even though I can feel it's right or correct. Makes it easier to visualize when someone keeps giving it structure with examples and connecting bits and the reasons WHY we're doing it.

That basically implies that the I is the orgasm of music

@@SteampunkPirates it is.

@@SteampunkPirates Releases tension, so...

Nah. I like SOME jazz. I can really get behind what I erroneously call "melodic jazz" aka jazz where it sounds great and not like a mess to impress. Like every small tidbit Charles does on the piano in this video is enjoyable. But then you have instrumental masturbation and howmuchshitcanicramintothisbox jazz and I go NOOOISEEEEEEE.

@@SCHTRAM its the same stuff, just faster. People like Charlie Parker are able to make it sound smooth enough that its enjoyable to some, and doesn’t just sound like chaos but has a flow and very clean rhythm, but I can see your point.

@@SCHTRAM go listen to Free Jazz: A collective improvisation from ornette coleman

@@SCHTRAM Don’t let anyone else discredit your opinion because that’s exactly what it is; your opinion. You can’t be wrong about your own likes and dislikes.

I don't like jazz.

The critics/haters would also have an easier time absorbing the music if they understood that the typical forms are, usually, relatively short and recognizable… But you actually have to “listen” to the music in order to “hear” it.

That’s what made Miles fantastic…. Sometimes his short phrases were almost out of place with the music stylistically, but still somehow made sense and went straight to the heart

I REALLY hope he does!! Tatsuro Yamashita could be a different video entirely, he has too many bangers..

Also Sparkle by Tatsuro Yamashita

City pop is basically japanese 70/80 r&b

a video on that. please!

Neo Tokyo Rhapsody

It's true tho

Yeah there's a lot of diversity in pop especially if you include K-Pop and J-pop.

"Isn't it supposed to?"

@@2m7b5 I say that a lot, but specifically about western pop and specifically about harmony.

I've heard it about classical too. So yeah... who cares?

spotify has an album

Yes, obviously.

I swear, if you start mowing at 7am on a Saturday _one more time_ .... I'm going to fire up my chop saw at 1:30a, and take care of breaking down that pallet. THIS IS WAR.

If you try singing the words "The grass is always..." over a ii-V progression after watching this video, it's almost impossible to avoid using the tonic when you get to the word "green". I find it really interesting how musical syntax is just like spoken language. It has "rules" that must be followed if you want to be understood by a mass audience. Of course, jazz improvisation relieves boredom among jazz connoisseurs, but it sounds like gibberish to most people.

You can just google all that stuff

@@charliecampbell6851 I mean yeah I probably will anyways but it’d be cool to see like who his influences are and such

Also also Charles: I'v probably played it a thousand times. 12:43

yes congrats you found the joke

Yeah, if you go to his Instagram and find the video that’s from June 14, 2019. He plays that lick/phrase. Literally in the first second 😂. Love it

Yeah, jazz musicians just put an insane of effort into learning their vocabulary. He really has played that passage about 1000 times.

@@marciamakesmusic Thanks

More accurate to what I hear. 😂

That's if you focus on the melodies or individual instruments rather than the chord progressions

@@Margar02 If I would say this to my non musical friends they wouldn’t understand….I gave up on them😂

I was just asking for a collab with Adam and Rick Beato. This is close enough for now.

Yall is not a word *jazz face

@@MGPL_ *jazz intensifies

@@MGPL_ you're right, it's two words conjugated together similar to I'm or They're. Languages like Spanish have it as just a single word e.g. Ustedes though so I find attempts to discredit it's usage (what it appears you are doing) likely rooted in discriminatory assumptions about Southern North-American's and their dialect where its usage is more common.

@@GuacJohnson damn bro.. i just wanted to comment lmao

I recently got addicted to last train home. It does sound like elevator music, but i don't mean that in a bad way. It's better than most elevator music, for sure, but most of what is typically found in elevator music is in that song. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if last train home was played on elevators, it wouldn't sound out of place. I sure would be happy to hear it on my elevator ride.

Unfortunately, Pat Metheny, especially certain selections of "The Road series"(mid 1980s), ended up first as background music on the cable Weather Channel in the 1990s (Metheny needed some cash, I guess) and it actually found it's way into "Muzak" collections for commercial background music - *quite literally elevator music.* People recognize the distinctive sounds, but because their experience to it is as background drone they are conditioned to not pay attention to it. Scott Hamilton (my chosen mentor) did the same thing around the same time. His sax, and his blues, ballads and swing style ended up in many grocery stores and restaurants. His improvisation style is distinctive and recognizable, but many hear it as "elevator music" because that's how they were exposed to it. Don't be infuriated - to each his own; you just have a deeper understanding of the music they pay little attention to. As in Victor Sabiá Pereira Carpes' comment, I once heard Scott Hamilton playing in the background in a restaurant. My waitress saidd it was "just one of the tapes from Muzak we put in during dinner hours". I was very happy to listen to it while I ate my dinner knowing I was probably the only one in the room that knew anything about the music being played or the artist playing it.

People don't know how to listen to music without a standard backbeat.

But it is elevator music. Doesn't mean it isn't awesome. Walter Wanderley's Summer Samba is peak elevator music but because i now appreciate the context of its origin I still enjoy it.

Pat Metheny is far from "elevator music." I learned that after really getting into his work.

Really has to be the most common progression I know. Lowkey find it annoying how I hear it in so many pop songs

The "Four Chord Song" video is a classic. As is the one where the guy takes like six bro-country tracks and plays them in a multi-track session in various combinations, including at one point _ALL of them at once._ 😂

hmmm...what would you see the format being?

@@CharlesCornellStudios I would love to hear you just chat about music with another musician, doesn't have to be too structured. Just get someone featured, pick a base topic you both have knowledge on, and go off for however long you can. I would watch/listen the shit out of that!

Agreed.

@@CharlesCornellStudios maybe you could host a musician friend of yours or anyone who likes music and is willing to talk about it with you, and you go over different topics that relate to the casual listener.

@@CharlesCornellStudios basically just your videos but unedited and maybe with guests, you could get good musician/youtube friends to talk about stuff. maybe get a few topics to talk about each episode. it could be filled with advice, stories from gigs or music school, and song/artist recommendations. from watching your videos i can tell you like to ramble on about a lot of stuff, which is great for podcasts. i think it would fit you very well.

I don't think they are surprised that it sounds the same. I think they are surprised that some people want to listen to something that is so restrictive in its generic rules, particularly when those rules clash with the outsider's personal taste. It's like if you don't like coffee (or wine, or olive oil, or a million other things), you find people that are obsessed with particular coffee brands to be really weird. To the outsider that doesn't like the "genre", all coffee tastes the same. Horrible.

@@AutPen38 That's a pretty good point tbf

I'm a composer, but my take is take risks and avoid playing just eight notes when soloing. If the rhythm is generic the solo will be generic and boring. Rhythm is actually more important than the notes themselves

And also hip hop, Brazilian funk, chiptune...basically any type of music sounds the same to someone

Damn thats hard

This is a perfect way to put it. The reality is that jazz has a high bar of entry. Most jazz musicians don't want to say that because it sounds snobbish. But unless you know the vocabulary of jazz, it's probably going to sound like noise to you. And all noise sounds the same, to an extent.

@@rome8180 Jazz is not exempt from being a genre, which means it all sounds the same because that’s what a genre is. Also, you can write a pop song with as many intricacies and complexities as any jazz song, likewise a jazz song with the most uninspiring chord structures and melodies. Jazz is not inherently complex, it is simply a style of sound.

@@futuregamer25 jazz is not a style of sound. Whatever characteristic element you name, there'll be a jazz album or artist that doesn't use that element. Jazz (if you even want to use this term, a lot of artists eschew it) to me is simply a way of looking at music through a lens that, if you go back far enough, comes from africanisms like repetition and improvisation.

So you think “understanding” Jazz is a genetic disposition? Something you are just born with? If not, you’re comparison is not really accurate. I hope everyone can become a snob like you ;-)

😂

He has jazz fingers

Classical and Jazz theory is all the same in a way, so definitely learn it. I'd recommend also 12tone and 8bit music theory, excellent education resources. Regards, composer dude

Beautiful

Anyone who says "Jazz music all sounds the same" and listen to EDM as their mainstay I just... can't even...

@@computer_toucher I agree.

@@computer_toucher A guy I knew was trying to convince me that his trap music (that he made) isn't all the same and was like "See? in this bar I play the hi-hat early!" And then I showed him a 3/4 trap beat and he was mindblown

I honestly think blues is the most intuitive music genre to play. It's simple, very emotionally-driven and accessible to anyone with very basic instrumentation (guitar, piano, harmonica, etc.) If you want to play blues, just pick up a guitar with the 4 chords you know, strum and moan about whatever shit is happening in your life. It's universal and straight forward, you just let your aching heart do the talking.

@@OsKarMike1306 the blues aint got no fourth chord son

Yeah, city pop is a gold mine, especially Tatsuro Yamashita's music

It's Takeuchi time for Charles

I believe it was said sarcastically.

@@CH4NNELZERO Yeah I got it. Thanks for checking in though

@@matthewgilmore276 that was a sarcastic thanks wasn't it ? 😂

@@CH4NNELZERO No toxic chat on Charles channel my friend! (it was a little sarcastic but I mean no harm lol)

Yes. I've often enjoyed live performances but had a hard time finding things I like to listen to by myself.

Have you maybe tried going to a studio and asking to intern or work for free there...? And maybe also start understanding what it is more, cause that will defs get you better chance of understanding and knowing where to go and what to do as well

There are great videos done by engineers and producers all over YT

What? I've been listening and studying music for years and the more I learn or listen to the same genre, the more it sounds the same :/ Stop it with the pretentious "if you [insert undesirable statement], you definitely don't understand it or haven't used to hearing it" mentality, lol

​@@feetfinderguy7044 Well, I've only grown more fond of the genres I consistently listen to, so I think we have a bit of a stalemate here What I _will_ say with certainty is that the Mere Exposure Effect is a real thing. I'm not being pretentious at all, I'm just trying to use what I know to understand what I don't. It's not the _only_ thing that determines whether or not someone likes something, of course - that would be absurd.

@@feetfinderguy7044 Huh. I'm not discounting your experience, but honestly, I don't think most people have the kind of experience you've had... Think of all the people that listen to a few jazz songs and say, "this all just sounds like noise to me": You don't think someone who spends more time with that "noise" will be able to make distinctions within a genre better than someone who's spent less time doing that?

@@pedroscoponi4905 fair enough, I respect that you acknowledge the exposure bias though :)

@@faizanhasnain7960 I think someone who spent more time in that "noise" would be less likely to tell difference because of irrational bias, tbh Let's compare genre to a language (like the video above proposed). If you hear a new language for the first time, everything that's being said will sounds complex and different, but when you spend more time in it or get used to it, you'll become familiar and began to spot a pattern until you reached a certain point that you can confidently say "huh, this language is simpler than I initially thought". When you told the native speaker (people who grew up with X genre) about their vocabulary being shallow and there's lot of inefficiency in the grammar, that's where nationality kicks in and they began endlessly defending it by saying "if you think our language is [insert undesirable statement], you're just ignorant and uneducated!!"

wtf obama and vin diesel?? my brain hurts

Yes.

I've been learning jazz for more than 6 months now with a teacher. It certainly doesn't all sound the same, and I listen to at least an hour of it a day.

@@idolevin8795 what instrument do you play?

@@user-kh8oc2yf4r piano. Since I was 8. I'm 17.

Silence is what real Chads listen to

Yeah we all know King Crimson doesn't have any long form songs with free form wankery, not a single one. (great bands but your comment is pretty silly)

@@GuacJohnson I’m saying they both cover all the bases Nick, with both written solos and free form but it’s not too much. They are very tight. And sometimes play live over same backing tracks years later. They take you on a journey, and make sure that you are on board, along by the ride, it’s not just self-indulgent. Ps Frank Zappa and the mothers of invention take care of all of your Musical needs.
