Tim has just announced an American tour, so you should look out to see if he'll be performing somewhere close to you.

Love this reaction vid Jayden, Bobby's licks are insane!

cool channel Jayden!

my favorite part of producing music is writing it. after that... 😅

google the show "Upright" watch Tim at his best..

I heard Beyoncé's Texas Hold ’Em would still make the cut

Songs with slurs in it. I know its common vernacular for some but passing 8 vibe-checks per minute is a little ridiculous.

tbh i agree with c# major but tbh i like triplets and syncopation they're kinda fun

Amazing. As I remember, one of the early experiments done on visualization as practice was with basketball players. They were simply asked to IMAGINE they they were practicing making a basket, and the researched found that the people who visualized shooting hoops actually improved their skills and made more baskets. OR they made just as many baskets as people who practiced in real-life (without the visualization).

Good video, I think like that about all types of art. Thank you!

Jayden, this is very important. I associate a color for each note (interestingly, Adam Neely here actually calls it pitch CHROMA!). Each note just has a different texture to it. Like red is always heavy warm. Robust. Love songs are often written in C. Whereas A-flat sounds detached, distant, and cold. Blue. (I’m talking about the note itself.). Adam Neely once made a video where he insists that it doesn’t make a difference what key you play the music in. Claiming It’s just merely “higher or lower.” He even goes on to make fun of the original old-school cellist Pablo Casals, reading from some old notes where Casals explains why the key of E-minor is so tragic. Casals, very poetically, explains how the key of E minor FEELS! // And, Yet, Neely goes on to literally dismiss and laugh-off Casals (one if the greatest cellists who ever _lived)_ saying that there is no emotional difference from E minor to F minor. Etc. But what he doesn’t understand is that Essence and even mood if the melody changes depending on what key you play in. And it’s based on the energy or “coloring” of the root note used. In many ways, Adam Neely does not understand the art of music itself . He’s also an atheist, so he will never acknowledge The Spirt in music! It’s almost like he’s too nerdy for his own good!

He's just playing variations on the E blues scale all throughout. Really not that difficult.

very cool!

wow! this video really had me thinking. the technique is real and had me thinking about this one questions, what qualifies a virtuoso/master? i think its the technique but i’m really interested in your perspective.

I've had the privilege of seeing him in concert twice. he is absolutely amazing.

Ginger nuts are a type of biscuit (cookie) btw

This is like the politicians in the south trying to legislate the value of Pi to be 3 because the actual value of Pi is 'irrational'

Crikey mate! You didn't know Tim could sing? You should see him as Judas in the Jesus Christ Superstar Live Arena Tour or playing 6 sold out nights at Royal Albert Hall with the 60 piece Heritage Orchestra or as Friar Tuck in 2018 Robin Hood or as Atticus Fetch in Californication or composing the lyrics and music for Matilda the Musical winner of 4 Tony Awards, 12 nominations or as writer, executive producer, starring with Milly Alcock, now in its 2nd season, Upright, the story of a man and a 16 year old runaway driving across Australia to return the family piano, or after 7 year absence returning with the 2019 BACK tour his music to another level. And… The Sydney House commissioned Tim to do its 50th Anniversary video…

He pronounces Swords like that because that how it reads of course swords has a silent “W” just added for extra comedy value

Do you actually not know the reason? It has to do with religious laws, let's just say that much

So glad you like Tim Minchin. talking of sharps, watch TIm's ''F#" I think you'll love it!

Wow, how could you have lived as a musician and ***NOT*** know Tim Minchin!!!! I watched the beginning of this and thought why is this guy talking about someone called George Collier? This is the one and only Tim Minchin being played and you don't mention his name??? Incredible...! You have so much wonderful stuff to catch up on! Tim is an absolute musical and comedy genius and he has incredible views on religion and mysticism. Watch his cartoon 'Storm' and carefully listen to the story. Bang smack nail on the head! Enjoy the incredible TIM MINCHIN!

14:17 There's a great song by Carly Simon called 'you're so vain'. Particular lyric's popped into my head at this point. If you know it, you know it. lol Look up the song, it's a really good song. And as soon as you hear the lyric you will also know.

Weird Al Yankovic is most famous for his song parodies but also does band parodies, genre parodies, and original songs which are funny.

Tom Lehrer did musical comedy decades ago. I would recommend National Brotherhood Week or possibly Who's Next.

Tim Minchin is brilliant! Don't miss his graduation speech. "Nine Life Lessons". Such a wise man in a multitude of ways.

People do have a habit of recommending this song specifically to black reactors. I understand why, but I kind of wish they wouldn't. It's clever and very funny, but I don't think it's the best introduction to Tim's work.

I've never seen him tour. Stuck just watching online.

Pronouncing sword like swore. Inferring that there's a forbidden language

If you like musical comedy, check out Eric Schartz (Not 'Smooth E')

Are you on the ASD Spectrum?

He does one called "3 minute song" where he puts a digital timer on his piano, sets it to three minutes, then finishes the song at exactly 0:00.

Tim Minchin is a comedian who plays piano, if you want to see him go and see one of his performances. I saw him in Manchester about 14 years ago, he was alright

Tim was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the University of Western Australia for his contributions to the arts. You must watch his acceptance speech, outstanding.

Swords is S(wear) words

❤😂🎉

Stop talking.

Bro react to his new single and other albums❤

Swords is just pronounced like that for comic effect, it's not his aussie accent lol

It's really fun to watch this - especially since I've watched another performance many times - and this just shows his talent, cause this performance has another timing and accompaniment. Other great Tim Minchin songs: If I didn't have you (long version) - if you have kids followed by "Lullaby". The beat poem "Storm" is another great one. If you want to see another great musical comedian but in a whole other style check out Victor Borge. I absolutely love his performance with Michala Petri from his 80th birthday (should be one with english subtitles, since his back visiting his home country Denmark after many years in the US - he fled during WWII being of jewish decent. Despite him not speaking english, he was so talented, that he got an award as "the best new radio performer of the year" only a year after his arrival in the US.). There's lots of other stuff with him out there in english. If you want to check out genius composition and great musicianship the band "Dirty Loops" is where you want to go! ♥

Wait…Atticus Fetch plays piano too??? 😂😂. Tim Minchin is a multilevel genuis! TM for PM, I say….

Yeah. It’s like a fretless bass for example, yeah it can do the normal stuff, but that access to microtones allows for open and new ideas

Thanks for the shout out. I’m glad you found my video helpful 😊

💯‼️‼️

hard to pick a favorite Minchin but I gotta mention “Mitsubishi Colt”. one of the best combos of piano insanity and lyrics/poetry. sort of a beat poem. his most famous beat poem is “Storm” but there’s no piano in that one. still well worth checking out though. edit - just searched “Mitsubishi Colt”, there’s a version with piano transcription. mind-blowing.

Who else could trick an audience into echoing back the word "tampon"? You haven't heard dark until you've heard Tim's song "Lullaby"

To get his full range of talent watch 'Storm' and 'Confessions' both great for different reasons

Swords -> Swear words

There’s a guitar solo by Martin Miller that has uses this idea and the few covers I’ve seen completely ignore it and just play on the beat. You really hear it when slowed down. Used over a swing groove it creates a sense of struggle to ascending patterns and a cool tumbling free fall to descending. Also, I LOVE triplets. Even when I don’t try to play them I’ll count back a piece and they’re all over.

He's brilliant as hell. I've been watching his gigs for 15 years. Bloody brilliant.
