I liked this explanation of harmony using different levels of musical comprehension (by Jacob Collier, featuring Herbie Hancock) [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Yes, Rick Beato. He covers all sorts of stuff to different extents. Like music theory in ten minutes: [LINK] .. but he has hundreds of videos on keys, modes, analyzing popular music, the works. If you really know nothing you might enjoy this attempt at explaining harmony at five different levels from a child to Herbie Hancock: [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Great read! I really enjoy that the article explains the problem in three different mediums, and you walk away with some understanding even if you can only access the first part. Reminds me of the Wired videos where a concept would be explained at 5 different levels [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗You know those videos where an expert explains something complicated at five different levels from school kid up to fellow genius? (Example: [VIDEO] ) I feel like many areas of math would benefit from that, because I barely have a clue what exists, let alone why and where there are advancements in the field.
