- One motif - three different arrangements in completely different styles. How can the same four notes turn into such different pieces of music? How to write music. Join Guy Michelmore as he explains how to write a piece of music, how to develop a motif into a tune. But what has all this to do with eggs? Find out here.....
And yes it was A Team not the Rockford Files! Thanks for those pointing this out

Love listening to Guy, it's like the British musician equivalent of Bob Ross painting a picture
Beat the devil out of those piano keys
Guy said this once
@@franciscoaragao9672 ha ha, that's great to know :)
And we're going to put a happy little "E" over here. Lol
"ass" is definitelly my favourite instrument from Your scrambled version haha :D
hahaha!!
Agreed. "ass" won the day.
Guy's back! Rejoice everyone, rejoice!
It’s so weird for me to see comments like these because my name is Guy lmao
Please make that "left, right, left right" sample available for download.....it would make my week!
Actually he could probably record an entire library!
I would have tried automating the pan for that track, so that "left" is always on the left side, and "right" on the right. =D
@@Theladur sounds like you're wearing the sunglasses of doubt? 😁
Did anyone else hear the A Team tune there ? 😄
@@tonydalton459 Yes! I did hear A-team at 4:48 right before he says "Did I just re-write The Rockford Files?"
Rearranging motifs in different styles is always so interesting to me. Final Fantasy 14's soundtrack is absolutely filled with rearranged motifs, and I'm not just talking about the Prelude that's snuck into so many songs. I wish we'd see this more often in other games and other mediums.
Only just discovered your channel. If only I'd had your stuff at the start of my alleged career instead of at the end. Happy days....
After several days without a new video I found myself going through a bit of mild withdrawals. This video is VERY fun and a great precursor to beginning How To Write Music. So good to see you again, Guy!
It’s so wonderful. It is educational but it’s so much fun. Your humanity, humble moments and self deprecating humor is so uplifting. There is absolutely no one on CZcams more fun to learn from than you ! Also constantly pulling the rug regarding video editing and narrative breaks makes me as a broadcast director amused how clever and funny you keep being every video again and again without it feeling forced or scripted. Thanks for sharing your knowledge sprinkled with joy.
Don't recall the theme to the Rockford Files, but it sounds like the A-Team to me :-)
Yup you're right
The Rockford files had a wonderful blazing theme. James Garner was the star of the show.
It's both, which is hardly surprising as both were written by Mike Post (who did a lot of great tv themes)
@@AlisonWheeler Thank you for the info, that explains a lot
Do you now have to send Mike Post a dollar?
2021 "Music is an egg" How can we NOT push the like button on this kind of video aha well done Guy
Oops - I seem to have poached mine 😱😱.
Another entertaining and educational video - nice one Guy 😁🎹🎹🎶🎵🕶️
If you're read this, I would love to watch you attempt creating a Future House song.
I was having a bad morning.....and then I watched this and it made me smile. Thanks Guy for being real and bringing us some fun and inspiration. Off to boil and egg now. Peace!
Enjoyable video to watch and learn as always
I used to be able to go into one of my mates, and start singing "Gloom, despair, and agony on me" and he'd sing back "Deep dark depression excessive misery" and I'd sing "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all" and he'd refrain back "Gloom despair and agony on me". And he'd say darn your hide, now I'm going to be listening to that in my head for hours. Stuck back in that old Hee Haw TV show. Much like Guy is stuck humming the Rockford Files theme.
When I am looking for inspiration I go here !
Thanks Guy !
My Band teacher in Jr High, love the theme from the Rockford Files he made us play it, I was a 12yr old bass player with long hair, so it was cool...Then it was theme from Barney Milller..love the 70s, can only have the moustache now though, and its silver not black
Oh what a great way to start off my morning! Hope you’re doing well Guy
Making childrens story *Wild eyes* "Do I look like a serial killer" ... Guy you crack us all up .. Great video
"This is Jim Rockford, at the tone, leave your name and number and I'll get back to you"
Guy makes me so happy on days when i'm feeling too sick to compose :)
I guess most of you missed "lets get this show on the Rode" 0:34
@Evan Hodge Are you Shure?
Best tutorials ever..keep em up!
I'll be looking for "The Adventures of Wobble and Pobble!" on PBS.
Rockford Files definitely dates you!
Best of fun…best of 3…cheers Guy awesome as always! 🙌
Welcome back, Guy -- we missed you. Love the "mouth" instruments. We don't have them in the US, but I guess I'll have to try boiled eggs and soldiers. Thanks!!
The fried egg arrangement had a cool "Lo-Fi" vibe!!!!
Is always refreshing looking and hearing at Guy’s music world. Thank you so much Guy, for all the inspiration and good mood :-)
This session is a lot of fun.
I'm now definitely worried about you! You've totally left a strange view of a trip to the beach,😯 Glad you didn't *poach* the Rockford files theme.😎
You were no Doubt the best Newsreader!!! So can we see "Guy Music News" everything that been released in your wonderful news presenting style please please please
This was a very enjoyable and inspiring episode. Thank you. Next episode you could continue with each of these to progress towards completeness.
I love these videos. I learn so much. I didn't realize I could make my own sample player with Cubase. Now I have to try it. Thank you so much!
Hi Guy..
Thanks for your great videos
You know the secrets of motifs are allways invisible for most of the composers this content i think was on of the best contents that you have made
Rockford and Great Escape Files... Garner the love!
For myself, a Motif can be a rythm driven process, pick a style and apply 4 to 6 notes, to Rock, Reggea, Jazz, Pop,..such a cool vid Guy, your creative process so inspiring to me and others too, I am sure
My inner 14-year-old can’t stop noticing the “ass” track when you dropped your voice into the sampler! 🤣
Just the title cracked me up, you are brilliant sir
The boiled egg version kind of reminds me of the Police Academy march. Not exactly of course, but close. Hahaha! Love it!
Actually, this was brilliant! Thank you!
your videos are such a great reminder of how much fun it can be to make music
Just as I was wondering if Guy just does "classical" stuff and --OH? Great sketching. Love how you can go ANYWHERE and just seemingly simply DO. Haven't even heard scrambled yet. Lookin' forward.
I remember the Rockford files (on syndication). It was kinda bad-ass :) I also liked the way you arranged the second piece, including your commentary throughout the entire video - that's the icing on the cake ;)
It's that or the A team! marches are generally 120 or 60. Works well in 4/4 or 6/ tradionally. You'll find both easy to keep in step with.
Great as always, especially the jazzy part !
I like your David Attenborough approach to your videos, guy. Very English.
Without doubt the most entertaining music teacher on the planet. Watching Guy creating these is so inspiring because it just shows how much fun can be had composing, dropping the seriousness once in a while in favour of the pleasure of creativity. You are an awesome musician, mentor and entertainer and I never tire of your videos :)
3:37 neither did I go to bed early expecting to listen to a famous composer boom-chi-kah-ing in my ears🤣
Great atmosphere and well done
The first piece was definitely giving me Banjo Kazooie video when the flute was added
Rockford Files and Sinister Dexter ! life doesnt get any better on a Thursday afternoon :) thanks Guy !
Rockford Files was great. Now I have the urge to find a car park and throw a few reverse handbrake turns!
Very cool Beatles kinda sound!!...you are a good musician and good at what you do here on youtube !!!
This "Guy" is the best!
I enjoy watching your videos Guy
Always a pleasure watching your clips Guy! Especially nice a day like this, tucked down in bed with corona. 😎👍 See, even brought my own glasses.
Get well soon
You are the best of CZcams by far!!!
Let's get cracking! haha!! was that a deliberate pun?!
The last one reminded me of The Sims! :P amazing as always!
Perfect boiled egg. Egg into pan of cold water, bring to gentle simmer then start timer for 4 minutes-simples! Excellent music tut as well😃
Great video, thank you!
Great analogy!
Got to love a good analogy
@@ThinkSpaceEducation Yes, it sets the scene for understanding
Improvising by humming and clapping your hands into the microphone is a great idea that I've never tried. You would get the rhythm straight away then you just place the notes correctly in the program and add cords.
It works. I find I come up with lines and rhythms that I wouldn't otherwise come up with.
That Rockford Files reference was hilarious!
Really enjoy your videos. 👍🏻
Happy Saturday from Texas.
Guy you rock!!!
Brilliant!
This was very entertaining to watch. 👍
You're such a card, mate. Love ya.
I seriously adore your videos... you're half composer, half teacher, and half madman, and yes that's three halves, and yes I'm OK with that. Never stop.
Thanks Guy - now every time I have to select my audio inputs in Cubase, or every time I pan a track, or every time I cross a road, use an indicator on the road or do one of 10,000,000 other things in life involving the binary choice between latitudes, I shall almost definitely hear the sound of Sgt. Maj Michelmore in my ear >,
Rockford files! Loved it😂😂
Small point...if you're in lockdown, you'd probably not be at the barbers. ;) Really love your videos - and your work!
This is simply breathtaking!!
I love Guy so much XD
I love this guy ! Class music and great sense of humor . Thank you!
Loved this one! Especially the last one, felt like I was in a cutesy little adventure game.
Let's get "cracking" .... HA!
And ya gotta love the "ass" that made the Scrambled bass part. :)
The scrambled eggs part sounded a bit like Mark Mothersbaugh's rugrats soundtrack. The toy piano and the vocal bass really gave it that feel.
This has been my life for a few years now, and Clive N Wrench. Their personalities are brought to life musically all throughout the game, and motifs have been boiled, fried, poached and scrambled
What a great way to spend your day over at Guy's Shed.
Love your energy Guy❤️👍
Loved it! Very helpful. Always find your instructions easy to learn.
Almost fell out of my seat at the Rockford Files reference.
The Cuba library that comes with Komplete has a nice sounding upright bass
Marching pace is 112-120 BPM
Unless you're in the Light infantry which which is 160 if I remember from my youth !
Michelmore Rules!!
Thank you for this! I always enjoy watching you create! It's a mood lifter and inspiring to me.
Genius! Yes Guy, very useful to an old 'chord scratcher' like me trying to come up with song ideas, just for the hell of it! Keep up the good work that man! You've also inspired me to try and learn how to play a little keyboard to add to my guitar efforts. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed!
Quite scrambled indeed, great video
But you missed poached, Guy. The best of the lot, light and fluffy with a dash of Balsamic and super healthy. Brilliant. Love the soldiers :)
Fantastic! In the end it sounds like a part of some Sphongle tracks. Nice inspiration that I thank you for.
Cheers!
You've moved onto the scrambled egg serial killer. Fantastic. Always a pleasure to watch you work little motifs. Thank you for making me laugh today.
2:35 - 120 of course [see Catriona's comment]! Or 140 if you are quick... But some go a bit slower at 116 - presumably that is at the end of a long march rather than when fresh at the beginning. And the Highland regiments march to bagpipes - so they go at 112: but I personally think that has more to do with avoiding undesirable swirling of the kilt.
A team!
I think lockdown is getting to Guy. But it was a fun video:)
The place where you live looks absolutely stunning Guy and look huge.
I bet its fun hiding from the family 😂
Nice!
This vid is both helpful and hilarious at the same time omg guy HAHAHAHAHAHA
I was right. Everyone was missing your utterly delightful craziness.
Nice way of starting the day after lunch :)
In French the boiled eggs "soldiers" are called "mouillettes" ("wetties"???).
On this basis you can compose something very different...🐷
And yes, a bass without its first letter can tell a different story as well.
