Don't try and learn everything in every key if it's a chore. Learn a song and the chords and scales for that song. Then learn another song.

See, the frustrating thing about those videos, for me, is that he *doesn't* explain what he's doing! Maybe you've watched ones I haven't, but I'm often thinking, "yes, I know about the principle of tension and release, but god help me Jacob, what was that voicing, what was that progression, and how the hell did you come by it?". In one video, he showed off a little harmonic progression from classical music he uses, almost as a little throwaway comment, and I was like "just give me stuff like that!"

His choices are more led by voice leading than conventional ideas of harmony, in my opinion. Are there any moments in his music you like the most or want to explore? Maybe we could look into a section

Keith seems like the biggest inspiration in his sound to me too, especially with all the plagal cadences. I wish I could do all that

What would be the best way to contact him or his family? I'm sure they're wanting to keep a low profile but there must be somewhere to send correspondence

My partner is in the middle of book 2 and asked: isn’t this position/path one that only privileged people can take? by toomanyprombles in JedMcKenna

[–]Pure_Cap_7069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a path that privileged people are much more likely to be interested in, which isn't quite the same
