Sure, get right to it. Ach! I think you're studying the first line too much, and the Bb-6 is not schmaltzy! Dennis' voice is intentionally sleepy, you're doing that attempt well. There is a rhythm/instrument minus vocal of the BB track that I think displays different 'feels' than what you're explaining, but what the hey, close enough.

*chef's kiss*

Did you notice in the harmonic tuning the G sub harmonic is emphasised making that wirrr sound and in equal temprament it is phased out completely.

Daryl Hall used Em7b5 to devastating effect in the chorus of "Say it isn't so".. Great tune <3

Thank you so much for this. Brilliant breakdown. Very personal, just like Brian’s music. You have a great voice!

NEVER PATREON NEVER PAY PAL;;;;;;;;;;;Both run by NAZIs.

As with too many tubers::::BAD FORM TO ASK FOR APPROVAL BEFORE PROVIDING CONTENT...

jesus christ can you sit still for one minute? and for all the harmonics you peck at, please just hit them soft and clearly

"Pretty close" = a little off.... It's either good or not, no "Pretty close".

When singing barber shop style music, the vocalists work very hard on hitting that harmonic 7th. Wendy Carlos has a wonderful album called beauty in the beast. It affects me physically

have you tried playing slide with this?

Bravo Tim(!), this is the best

Beautiful album.

THIS IS AWESOME. Just found your channel keep it up! I don’t know what I just listened to but it was amazing🤌🏼

Very cool stuff!

I think they are both nice, both different and yet really so similar, it's kind of strange to wrap your mind around

I wonder if George Harrison experimented with this tuning. Am I crazy or does it sound like you could start banging out Indian sitar music on the perfectly-tuned guitar?

Thanks very much for this. Why don’t you identify the third chord as an inversion of F6 rather than Dm/C? The verse feels to me like G6 (then adding a tone in passing) to F6 (then a short base riff) then repeat: G6 to F6. Later there's also that beautiful Ab6 leading back to G6-F6. I feel the song as something of a 6th-chord fest. Of course, both G and F are in the key of C. However, my own view is that this song doesn’t have just one key, and that it also doesn’t “change keys” in the usual sense of modulation of the same melody. It is a quilt work of significant sections, each in its own key--first G, then F, then C, maybe even briefly Am--with creative transitions joining one section to the next. The mixolydian pattern of I-to-bVII-then-repeat was often used in the 60s California surf genre (think "Endless Summer Theme") & occurs in other Brian Wilson compositions (e.g., the coda of "In My Room"). "Caroline No" isn't just a pretty, poignant ballad. It is a marvel of rule-breaking creativity and beauty. It is a song for the ages.

Just think,… your seeing her here as a child, before she became a bright star

AMAZING STUFF. Subscribed instantly. Cheers from Argentina

3:40 Yeah, man. I agree. I think And Your Dream Comes True is his richest thing he every arranged.

Too much talking get to the lesson already

Brilliant analysis - well done

Can you do a video on Musiq Soulchild's song, Just Friends?

This work of harmonic genius is apparently just one of "three more great new songs written by Brian Wilson" 🙃

Maria Muldaur’s song Midnight at the Oasis is another song that floats between keys - or more accurately doesn’t seem to rest in any key,

Who would hate Sublime!? Snobs...

I like your choice of Abdim7 for exactly the reasons you laid out. The chromatic descending line is there either way inside the chord progression, but by putting it in the bass notes it draws our attention to it in a pleasing way.

The iv may be schmaltzy, but I still love it. I find it so satisfying because of the way the notes resolve downward into the I. It's the same thing with the V as the final chord in a progression. Is it overused? Sure. But there's a reason it's overused (because of how satisfyingly it resolves). Also, there's a quality of nostalgia and heartbreak to the iv that I'll never stop enjoying. And at least it's outside of the key, which offers momentary interest no matter how commonplace it's become. Nothing bores me more than a purely diatonic progression, especially one that's been used too often (I-V-vi-IV, etc.). Is the iv as exciting as something truly out there? No, but it could be a lot worse.

TIM WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JUAN ESQUIVEL?

Thanks Allen!! I'm using some of this for samples

2 thumbs up

wow nice Tim, thanks. so complicated and weird chords

Great analysis thanks

The one I wanted you to achieve ! Also the 1970s solo version is different, very sadly sung, less harmonic (piano only) and with new chords progressions at a time.

I like your version, but neither is clearly superior imo. It's just subjective. I would guess that Brian might think your version is too simplistic maybe

Your chord change (m.16) produces a kind of development after hearing Brians' earlier in the tune (m.8). It's the kind of thing that makes ear-trained guitarists barking mad.

I think 6/8 is the most accurate way to describe this song but I always have trouble with this myself. The only way I can wrap my head around the difference between 6/8 and 12/8 is how to feel the backbeat. The Purdie shuffle is in my mind the prototypical 12/8 groove. Also Fool in the Rain and that one Toto song. 12/8 would make this song feel like it was in half-time. Probably doesn’t make much of a difference for chord charts but I imagine it would when notating specific rhythmic ideas. No different from deciding whether to call something 2/4 (polka feel) or 4/4.

wld help to hear a rendition up front just to know what we were talking about?

I think you capture all the wilsons pretty well

i fully agree with the idea of getting into the videos without the long intro. The long intro (to me at least) comes off as being very cleary being read off a script, which obviously it is but the audience should't really feel like you are just reading something at them. I personally love the more as you go and sort of conversation feeling that comes from youtube, audience connection and entertainment is how channels grow!

Dude, you sound so good singing that song. Dennis suits you.

The first time I heard this song I was in my early 30s. Due to my dad's richly diverse musical tastes, I'd been exposed to, yes, Bernstein, as well as Stan Getz, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, George Gershwin, Burt Bacharach, The Allman Brothers, and so many more. Yet, he and my six year old self kept loading the turntable with Pet Sounds more than any other album. As I aged and began collecting other Beach Boys works, I found a double album CD combining Sunflowers and Surf's Up. Playing start to finish, I found Sunflowers different, moving, and fairly satisfying. But Surf's Up made me speechless, transformed. Unlike my usual adult self, I played two particular songs over and over: 'Til I Die and Surf's Up, yet, if there's one that sticks in my head more than even my lifelong favorite, God Only Knows, it's Surf's Up. The bass in the piano notes going to the very edge of the keyboard juxtaposed with the otherworldly, angelic singing filled my soul with longing and my eyes with tears. Fully 25 years after that first hearing, I still long and I still cry.

awesome video as always man, have you ever thought about doing a video on breakaway? i think that’s one of the best vocal performances they ever did

if you think about it he does something similar but in the opposite way in Wouldn't it be nice. Think about the intro in A and the verse in F (it's 3-1) and then again with A in the bridge

Heroes and Villains is my alltime favorite song. There is the most beautiful 20 seconds of music ever written right after "You're under arrest!" starting with "My children were raised..." Mike love should be dipped in honey and thrown on a hill of ants for crushing Brian's dream. He'd be a wal mart greeter without Brianand his family was rich!
