When your riff is so stock that Beato predicts the solo.
And that was one of the better (relatively speaking) songs!
@@jasonchagnon5186 fr lol
That was amazing
Can barely call them riffs
Spot on! đ€Ł
I just asked my 14 year old about these songs. Halfway through, she said, "these are kinda old, when was this from?" When I told her 5 months ago, she said, "oh that explains it." Shows how fast things move in tik tok land!
and to be fair, these songs didn't age well. most of TikTok songs are forgotten. I'm not even sure if your kid will remember this when she turns 50.
Well, they call people whoâve been around for 5 years now legends, so it makes sense
â@@gx1tar1er Cold Heart most definitely has aged well and will continue to
â@@ytlurker220thats because its a remix of some of the best Elton John songs put together, thats 70's & 80's music basically, of course it has quality.
@@gx1tar1er yeah the only songs i remember are from the start of tiktok when it was just utter chaos.
This is like when I learned my first three chords on a guitar and genuinely believed I could do ALL the music in the world now.
I was right, just 25 years ahead of my time.
IM CRYING- đđ You were right, indeed.
đđđ
Exactly!
im envious how rick can listen for 10 seconds then just lay his fingers on the right keys
This is, in its essence, rock music. Rock music is probably the easiest form of music to play so most of these songs are extremely predictable. Hence why Rick is so surprised when he hears an uncommon chord progression.
@@serjsidey7348 I understand, but I still canât do what heâs doing
@@campar1043 Totally. It wasn't meant as a dig, just an explanation.
@@serjsidey7348 I understand
@@campar1043 practice. You'll develop a ear for it and be able to do it too.
Look where i am now. Thought i would never know how to find the key,but here i am soloing over it. I'm not that great or anything. It ain't much. But i am another e.g. that you can do it too if you practice and learn.
5:13 is a great moment, Ricks musicality goes so far as to anticipate the actual line for the solo here haha!
Pretty impressive! This also made me smile
I would expect no less actually..
haha and here I was feeling good for guessing chords lol
Is it Rick's musicality or the song's predictability though?
That's Rick ... đ Great moment ... "There it is!" ... with that fat smile đ
The thing about Tiktok virals is that, theyâre not listened to as tracks many times, theyâre actually used as background music in the videos. This means thereâs a 15 second part in the track that fits perfectly to a specific situation as background sound. To understand why theyâre viral, youâve gotta find that 15 second catchy part.
"Mhmm okay, it sounds like a song."
Lmaaaoo you know the list is bad when Rick says that
Woah I didn't expect Lee Hi's "Only" to be there! It's been one of my personal mellow favorites so I didn't know Tiktok's bass-ridden and dubstep-filled preference would make it viral
I love this Rick quote âOh, thatâs so wrong âŠ. I like it, though.â
My favorite quote đđđ
That's *exactly* what I said the first time I heard it..."That is so wrong!"
Like your first time opening a Penthouse magazine lmao
"I guess I gotta start watching TikTok."
Well guys, it was really nice while it lasted. Rick's brain will never recover from this.
Not will mine
Yeah, all I could think was nooooooooooo!
haha tiktok baaaaad haha XD lmfao
it would be so awesome if crap like this would ONLY be on friggin Tiktok and not contaminate any other space))
@@MrChopsticktech Sounds like he liked about three of them.
Went into this "We're doomed" video expecting Rick to give them a right shellacing but he didn't. Rick's got a very good heart, I'm not sure I could have restrained myself!
Yes when it comes to music I have very little patience with crap and I totally would not be able to disguise my inherent loathing of so called music which sounds disgusting to me.
agreed but he did clickbait us with that thumbnail
@@adriangaushausindahaus20 no he didnt, we ARE doomed, he just didnt get emotional about it
@@heavnnnsentimagine getting this pressed over subjective opinions which have no effect on your life. Boomer type comment
People are much more likely to click on a title like "we're doomed"
Dude....as a Brazilian (so...portuguese speaker), I must say: Beato reading "Taca a Xereca pra Mim" (#4) is for me the greatest moment in history of youtube.
PS. Rick, it means "throw me your pussy", soooo....I guess..... there is this more profound dimension of this song (the poetry) that you just didnt take into account in your appreciation.
hahhahaha
Omg
Lol I agree bro, I wasnât expecting this to happen lol
Quando ele leu o tĂtulo da mĂșsica eu tomei um susto kkkkkkk
Simplesmente fantĂĄstico djdkdkkdkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
When the highest praise you can muster is: It sounds like a song! đ
Haha right
Someone achieved the bottom rung of the music ladder!
That was a good song tho
Itâs kinda sad reallyâŠ. That some areas of music has come to this.
Tbf this is a tik tok react list
Rick in the title: "WE'RE DOOMED"
Rick in the video: "Huh, this is actually really cool"
It really shows that rick actually doesn't care about "this gen music" like the every adult I know. When he realizes that a song is cool, he admits it. I really like this about Rick
@@Someone-uw7je yeah it's like some people just can't accept for some reason that there are still cool songs around đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
@@capngrim your taste maybe
@@Someone-uw7je I dunno, I'm 46 and I still discover new artists that I like. None will ever be viral on Tik Tok, though. And very few are actually hits. But then again, even when I was in my twenties, I rarely listened to anything that became a big hit. If it's very hugely popular, it's probably gonna be simple and unchallenging. The only difference with how it was 20-30 years ago is that you need to dig even deeper now to find quality.
its clickbait for boomers which i think is said, he can do better than that
Rick's laugh is in mixolidyan flat 9 sharp 11 with augmented 11.5
Thank you for this channel. Your enthusiasm is tough to beat--but couple it with your passion, positive, and knowledgeable approach to music...and this is a hit. I'm 41-year-old attorney who's decided to 'learn music' as alternative to Ambien as a method for calming myself before bed. I have to give you credit with inspiring this. Thank You!!!
This is how I keep up with pop music. With Rick Beato's videos, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Let's go!
Yeah, me too actually. Always looking forward to these top 10 lists!
I even can't keep up with Rick!
Yes. This can help me relate to my teenagers. đ
Rick Beato is the Cliff notes of music for me. Only the essential and always current.
Your funk bass covers of videogame music are awesome Alex, keep it up đđ€
It's OK Rick! I teach 46 music students at my school each week and NONE of them are interested in learning any of the current pop music! Every one of them is learning the great older music that you usually talk about. There is still hope!!
There is plenty of well made, harmonically interesting, clever current pop music. Like Madison Beerâs Life Support or the new Kacey Musgraves album
Thank God...keep pushing!!
@@IWannaGoMissing pop is disgusting in my opinion
@@juliemanarin4127 «the great older music» was once popâŠ
> Bjork
What's quite cool about this is that these are not just American songs. Feels to me like TikTok is really giving international artists more chance at virality :)
Loving your channel. I'm expanding my horizons more seeing your absolute love of music. It's inspiring as hell man
âThereâs nothing really goin on musically, or even rhythmically, with this song.â Cracked me up, bc heâs just a music master. That is prob the âmeanestâ thing Rick will ever say. But his heart of gold will find a bright spot in any song.
his heart of gold would never find a bright spot in a song like that. he`s absolutely right, i use to say the same: there`s nothing really going on musically with any Brazilian funk song (song?!).
Pretty much none of the musicians on these lists are ever going to see this video, or have any native interest in Rick's content for that matter. I believe there's kind of a disconnect between such musicians and the like of his, Adam Neelys, etc audiences. You know, nuanced music and all being hard and what have you
@@angelodesouzaa Achei muito engraçado a parte que ele reagiu ao "funk", mas Ă© de chorar, realmente n tem nada de mĂșsica ali, o pior nĂŁo Ă© nem ser lançada, Ă© ser escutada đ€Š
Joe, as brazil is a huge country, there are many people who listen to this (unfortunately). But not ones interested in music, or channels like this one, Adam Neely as mentioned, 12note and others.
wow so much prejudice in these comments I threw up in my mouth a little
When you predict and play the solo before you've even heard the solo. Outstanding, Rick.
Consider that Rick may prep by listening beforehand.
@@VisiblyJacked He's already covered this and said that he doesn't. His engineer Billy, though, does on some of the other lists, in order to properly tune/prepare the different guitars he'll use.
Rick, the chord progression of the #1 song (and all its remixes) has a big Grover Washington, Jr feel. You could almost insert the vocal melody from âJust the Two of Usâ into the song as an instrumental countermelody throughout the whole thing. Just another reminder that we are all influenced (whether consciously or subconsciously) by the great songwriters and artists of the past!
The moment it started, I heard âJust the Two of Usâ in my head.
Some 16 year old on TikTok should just mash up Groverâs sax solo with that song and seem like a musical genius.
"Just another reminder that we are all influenced (whether consciously or subconsciously) by the great songwriters and artists of the past!"
I hear nothing from the artists of the past in current pop music.
@@treybenton2392 Just shows you know so little about the past. He just referred to the very obvious "Just the Two of Us" rip. Most who lived through that era would easily pick that up, and yes, it's a pretty prevalent thing in pop, like a few of the other songs did as well, including the one with Rocket Man et all.
superb stuff as always rick, bought the beato book and watch all the videos.
you are brilliant
I love how he figured out the little melody right before they played it on number 7 LOL
He went for the minor harmonic scale
So good!
Agreed!
Yeah - I had to rewind that to believe it
Simple. Itâs so predicable.
âI could put my 8 year old on AbletonâŠâ
Sounds like Rick just revealed his retirement planâŠ
No, his kids are probably capable of composing at this level easily before their 8 years... :)
@@avramidis3d r/wooosh
Iâm sure Rickâs retirement plan is what ever he says it is. You could retire 3 times just on the equipment in that room.
when he said it i remembered a friend of mine who played the guitar saying the same lol, one week later he realized it was not that easy and it requires skills to develop as a musician and as a producer to make a song though a good composition is great even if the mix and mastering are average
I use ablelton live lite ten đ
8 by 8
Amazing RickâŠalways on top of these songs. Superb understanding of what makes the music.
As a non-musician, I find it absolutely amazing that you can listen to a minute or two of a song & then play along with it! And can tell what key itâs in, too! See, this is why I think that music is the closest thing that humans come to being magical.
There's no magic going on here. All these songs use notes from the 12 we are given to work with. Of those 12 only 7 will work together at one time so a simple set of patterns soon appears. Guess the pattern used (the key) and play along instantly before verse 2 even starts. It's the ultimate con job to non musicians.
@@russzimmer5263 Youâre right, itâs weird wild stuff to non-musicians. đł
Not magic, predictable chord formats, and awful music
I love your videos so much!
And we love your videos so much too
@Mateus Asato Thank you my friend!đđ»đđ»đđ»
Didn't know you had a yt channel, subscribed!
Boleh! Come back soon, bro Mateus! JLU
Imagina que crossover maneiro seria um episĂłdio desse canal com o Asato.
That moment when Rick Beato played the solo of the song without having ever heard the song itself. Amazing!
Even though I don't know the first thing about any musical intstrument and have no clue when you're talking about chord progression and other things, I enjoy watching your videos like this. Keep them coming Rick!
Love how disect a song man so accurate! Gotta re-watch this again and again specially that solo part you predicted. đđŒ
Ckayâs chord progression is the same as Bill Withersâ âJust The Two of Usâ
I wondered if anybody else noticed that.
@@baronvonsatan yeah me too đ€Ł
@@baronvonsatan Oh yeah. How can that guy not be being sued?
Yep...that was the first thing I noticed too....so un-original.
@@jmagda41 chord progressions are so commonly used over and over again. You can pretty much only be sued for lyrics and melodies.
There should be an app called "Rick Tok" muhaha
I was about to ask if you watched shred because of the Muhaha but it turns out to be the man himself!
That sounds like an app you'd see someone use in Rick and Morty. đ€Ł
@@sbrazenor2 I TURNED MYSELF INTO AN APP MORTY! IMM TIK TOK RIIICK!
đ€Ł And also a show called Rick Tok Late Night, haha
Absolutely
I'm beginning to think that Rick may be one of the coolest guys ever, he refrains from calling out 8 of the top 10 here for the horseshit that they are.
Which two arenât âhorseshitâ? I like the African song.
I guess it's important to keep an open mind when you're paid to produce music, i'm sure he's worked on songs that deep down he didn't like but put in his best effort
@@nameisamine the other one is the asian song with the piano jazz style
Rick is actually smart and doesn't try to crap all over everyone. I know of a channel that all it does is crap on things unless a song really makes him happy. But guess what nobody listens to his music but loves Rick's music because everyone wants to support a positive person.
He does call it horseshit subtly by calling out the "copy and paste" basic chords and melody being used on repeat and then by essentially "predicting" where it's going
Love seeing the vids Rick! I would say youâre one of the only people I can actually count on to get a valid opinion on a song.
I think there should be a Rocksmith style game where you get praise from Rick when you do well.
"Your chord progression Is insane!!!!!"
If I ever learn to mod games that's what I'm doing lol
When you nail the drop you just hear Rick go "Ohh!" or "Wooo!"
It was worth the whole thing just to hear Rick singing Another One Bites the Dust!
That made me laugh so hard - not recommended when shaving.
Thank you for introducing me to Only by Lee Hi.đ Beautiful touching song. By far the best one in this list. Even though I like Dua lipa's cold heart,....this one has soul and you can tell that those who made the song really put their hearts in this song. Even the video is incredibly cinematic and beautiful.
Rick, your song breakdowns make me smile all the time. Love these videos. Must be a musician thing.
"There's really nothing going on yet". No truer words have been spoken, RIck :)
Hahahaha!!!
Who would have thought that a app involving about basic dancing has a top 10 of basic dance tracks?!?!?? It should be 10 prog rock songs that last 50 minutes and has 2000 chords and 50 key changes!!!! (Sarcasm)
@@Codexter1 Top 50 "Viral" songs, these are the most popular songs in the world right now. He only stated tiktok because that is how they got known. Rick Beato is right, the most popular songs right now are all simplistic, four chord dance tracks. Not very hard to make but lots of people like it, like a McDonalds cheeseburger.
yeah truer words never spokenâŠabout our culture in general
@@Codexter1 I almost had a stroke trying to read your comment. They teach English in 3rd grade...
I feel hip, I actually recognized the name of one of the artists, Elton John.
Love when Rick talks music theory, cord progressions, etc.!
It amazes me to see you reproducing the song in jus 30 secs!
Maybe that's the musician's world but for me, that has just started, is amazing!
If nothing else, these videos reinforce why an Ear Training course would be worth investing. Watching Rick hit the chords and the progression is just to die for.
No need to invest in a course. Just a lot of time spent listening to songs and figuring them out by ear. It helps to know your music theory and train yourself to hear the intervals. Plenty of apps for that. All you need is daily practice
@@MrChopsticktech Doug Helvering does this too. ( He's a classical composer who reacts to pretty much every genre of music on youtube, but mostly metal and rock).
@@sbonfiglioli So true my friend.
Rick playing the guitar part of a song before ever even hearing it is the next level of ear training.
It just shows how simple and predictable music has become. Its boring.
Next time he play a song before it's even recorded
I can't imagine the battle between the enjoyment of doing one video about the complexity of Sergio Mendes and then suffering making a video analyzing the "unanalyzable" trash like this "Taca a Xereca em Mim". both from the same country but at completely different points in history! You're a strong man Rick! Congrats!
A couple of thoughts - a) that Elton John / Dua Lipa song is one of those that is both a travesty and really cool at the same time. It's the bassline for me that really hooks you, it sounds great. b) makes me wonder if it's possible that any song every written could be distilled into a simplified four chord version?
its a cool but weird song, i always ask people who like it, can you sing the chorus? and they dont know but they like the song đđ
Agree itâs a great song, but not a travesty. Elton John himself is the behind the creation of Cold Heart. Itâs not some DJ just taking it and remixing it.
@@The_Laureate Heh, no wonder i sorta like it. I highly encourage you young whipper/snappers to listen to some older music( you could be pleasantly surprised), Cheers!
It's actually pretty doable in my experience to dumb down any song to a four chord loop. I've had to do it for my guitar students before when they ask for something far out of there level. One of my favorite examples would be Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version of under the rainbow which I'm the original is very complex jazz harmony but he simplified it to beautiful affect.
yes, it's a great bassline but just a simple line with quick echoes after each note (in time) giving a unique sound. The secret of a great hit.
When rick started listening to "Taca a Xereca pra mim" as a portuguese speaker that might have just been one of the funniest things ever (Given the meaning of the title and the lyrics)
Shameful...
What does it mean?
@@Gio102897 it's portuguese, like "throw your p*ss* to me", lol
Eu quase morri aqui kkkkkk
I was looking for this comment to share my shame with other Portuguese speakers!!
I really appreciate how Rick tells his opinions without being rude, swearing etc. and we all can clearly see what's going on lol
Honestly if I were him I would
hahah, yeah it's disappointed dad energy.
I adore his opinions even if it seems like something heâs not into or wouldnât normally listen to, he still has a respect for music and I love that.
@@lebulle4544 :DDDDDDDDDDDD
2:30 "That's so wrong... I kinda like it tho" was exactly my reaction to that remix of "Rocket Man" when I first heard it haha
LOL, Rick, youâre such a good sport. Made me laugh hard looking at you bouncing there and giggling. Iâve never trained anything music related, but found myself binge watching your videos. Makes me want to pick up my guitar (got it decades ago) again. Iâm learning so much and you help me appreciate this whole world of music. What I also appreciate very much, is your professionalism when it comes to new music. Iâm an oldie and itâs so easy to say much of todays music is cr*p. You help me understand music of today and see it differently. May I recommend to check Michael Kiwanuka (Hero)? I bet youâll make a video about him. Cheers!
When Rick started playing #8 I kept waiting for a Bill Withers to sing "Ju-ust the two of us....". Once it showed up as the #1 that sealed it. Needs Grover Washington Jr. solo.
Haha. I had the same thought.
Oooooo me too! I was hoping he would say something........đ
I heard just the two of us as well
Just saw this. I agree 110%
Yup- two songs stealing from Bill Withers
Loved when he "predicted" the guitar run! That happens all the time to us musicians. Makes me feel clairvoyant haha đđ
I sometimes wonder if stuff like that is pulled off a loop collection and no one actually played it for that particular song.
Yeah even though it isn't that hard to do, you never lose the buzz doing it front of people who aren't musicians.
I love singing along to songs I don't know. It's easier to predict a melody than most people are aware of.
I'm not even a musician, I just have a sense for melody, or sense, period, and I can still often "predict" the coming note(s) or a word(s) in songs I've never heard before.
Once you have heard enough songs and expressions, you can easily guess what the next note or word would be, it's like a flow.
@@edinfific2576 it isn't that deep you don't know how the "world works" you just predicted a note in a song not a big deal
Cool to see you banging your head on some tunes Rick. We've actually got the same "taste" on this chart. Some are interesting, the others is just "fast music" to be used for 15 secs or even less on TIKTOKs or IG Reels
I love how the songs sound better when you improvise over top of them!
Rick literally guesses the guitar solo - I'm dead.
âIt sounds like a song!â High praise from Sir Rick đđ€Łđđ€Łđđđđit is beautiful đđ»đ„
Yeah, and that wasn't until #3
The one that didn't make me want to gouge my eyes and ears out was #5 "Meet me at our spot". Nice groove, real guitar, bass guitar, and interesting melodic lyrics with little perceptible auto-tune.
love the way Rick predicts that guitar line in the Affet Beni Sevgilim track :)
The chord progression in No 8 seems a lot like being inspired by "just the two of us" by Bill Withers
Me same exact thoughts. Immediately I said âItâs âJust The Two Of Usââ
ExactlyâŠweâve already heard this songâŠđ
Nothing new under the sun, I guess..
HAA! Great Format! Good stuff.
As long as you're here Rick we are NOT doomed!
Yes and yes, thank you Rick
hey Juan, i love music and aviation topics ;)
Fun to see one of my other subscriptions comment in a totally different genre. Rick has an amazing talent breaking down songs I thought I knew, like taking a music appreciation class.
@@sledawgpilot Same, this is amazing! Hey Juan!
DONâT FORGET MORTY. RICK AND MORTY, RICK AND MORTY, RICK AND MORTY, RICK AND MORTYâŠ.RICK, RICK, RICK, RICK, RICK, RICK, RICK, RICK!!!
Great video. I like you checking out other countries. I'm listening more and more to Japan, Korea, and Taiwan rock bands now. Rock is not dead overseas!
this was so much fun to watch and this makes me really wish i understood music like this :D
ALSO HE JUST PICKS OUT THE KEYS LIKE WHAT
Chord progression on #8 is basically âJust the two of usâ by Bill Withers.
This is why I came
I said the same thing!!!!
I thought the same thing
Thank you. I've been sitting here for 5 minutes going crazy trying to figure out what song it was, and you nailed it. You saved me hours of frustration.
Thatâs funny⊠I started singing that with the last track.
5:30 "That's pretty cool!" says Rick trying to keep a straight face, then he looses it lol
I guess he's referring to the fact he nailed the guitar solo before it showed up.
That was crazy
@@davepilgrim5798 âthere it is!â
That was too funny
Agreed. It appears to me that most newer musicians raise their skills to a practical level but then choose not to hone their craft to a higher level.
Great as usual Rick. Would it be possible to include info in the notes about the instruments you use in your vids? That guitar sounds wonderful, deep and full.
I think the reason why so many songs are 4 chords: Splice.
Pretty much any guitar in a pop song is a sample. That's great, but usually there's only 1 guitar sample per pack, and you're stuck to use those chords unless you either find a different guitar sample (which won't match the other guitar) or have a section that doesn't have guitar (like in a bridge).
It never ceases to amaze me how he could just pick up the chords within 3 seconds of listening. What a legend
I mean, I'm pretty sure Beato is well versed on pop song producing/writing/etc and he knows the most common chops to be able to predict a lot of stuff easily. Not to mention A LOT of experience.
It's not as hard as it seems, if you have good relative pitch and an understanding of (very) standard chord progressions.
I love how he never actually disses any of it. Wow. What a skill! And actually it is all catchy somehow. Really liked âMeet Me At Our Spotâ #5.
I really do love this channel...hats off to Mr. Beato.
5:13 is hilarious, highlights Rick's ear but also the general predictability of the 'four chord vamp' that's been the standard in pop for a while. Always love these kinds of videos.
that was the best part of the video for me LOL
LOL I love how hard Rick is trying to show some enthusiasm for the collection of crap
When he tries to get excited because a song has notes in it.
Agreed
Imagine seeing these so called musicians live, looking at each other in shock, when someone knocks over the laptop!
@@blevens7251 and words
I love how he just know the chords and placement real fast like as a begineer, thats mind blowing XD
It's such a thing of beauty to see a true musician like Rick bubbling up his passions that he wants to jam along
Viral songs are quite weird often, sometimes thereâs a unsuspected gem but not very often
Hey! You're supposed to be sunset
In this scene Rick demonstrates he his in fact Neo of The Matrix ; he stops the music, plucks out a chord mid-flight, inspects it, and says "No"
Yeah he was cast in Matrix 4
watch nah...he is not even trying to throw shade. Could you imagine you put together this killer remix and RB says "oh? oh yeah that's merely this chord inversion.." APPLAUSE
I am astounded how can you go straight into the chords, your ear is impeccable! It would take me quite a while to get those right.
Thank you Rick for taking this musical bullet for the team.
It's worth noting that the top songs on TikTok aren't up there because they're actually being listened to by people, it's just for background music for dance videos and whatnot. You may as well review royalty free music for CZcams videos at that point lmao (although sometimes you get good songs like the ones Rick pointed out)
Exactly
are you sure there are actual people and not just Internet of things talking to itself?)))
Thats a comically bad comparison since you can use any music on tiktok. I have no clue how you can confidently claim this.
yeah ive seen people use these songs as background for art tutorials
@@morejazzplz5746 I mean, Iâve completely ignored tiktok videos because they chose a song and I ended up losing interest in the video and just jamming out to the song instead. Doesnât happen when they chose a song like that.
"It sounds like a song". Great comment from Rick.
Rick is a wizard. He can hear a 10 second clip of a song and instantly play it. It blows my mind.
Okay ⊠wow, only just discovered Mr Beato and I agree with almost everything, itâs so great to know I have hundreds of hours to catch up with! đđ»
While it definitely is boring and kinda sad, the 4 chord thing makes sense in the context of a 15-20 second clip on a TikTok video. The hook has to fit into that tiny window and there's no time for extended chord progressions and melodic or harmonic complexity. A sad indictment of our times and attention spans, but it works for the platform.
Insane how we are witness of the flatlining of society as a whole. And who stops this?
@@secondsolstice8695 its a pendulum, naturally there will be a response to these kinds of songs from alternative culture like always. the kids are fine!
@@friskydinngo That's right! The experimental music scene today is greater than ever, if you know where to look. Sure pop music may be boring, but that's to be expected. There are plenty of incredible artists pushing the boundaries today.
Do we really even want a section of Frackture being part of tiktok videos?
"Wow, this is like an actual song. Don't know what language this is-" wow, Rick, that's Brazilian Portuguese - enjoy it & recognize it, Rick "to do bem"( it's all good!) _Please_visit Brazil, you'll love the music and food there!
#4 is a funk carioca, like a brazilian trap. This is by far the most I laughed in YT in a long time đđđ ty Rick VAPO VAPO!
Ele falando o tĂtulo da mĂșsica, muita vergonha alheia kkkkkkkkkk
Morri quando apareceu essa mĂșsica kkkkkk
Muito bom HAUAHUAHAUAHAUHA
He explained very well why this is crappy music
Pior que isso nem devia ser chaamdo de mĂșsica, Ă© horrĂvel, foi vergonha alheia ver isso hahaha
*We're doomed (title)*
*80% of the video : "I like it!"*
It's interesting that the majority of these pop songs have very simple chord progressions, yet still land high on the charts. I guess they all depend on stock fillers to add colour. Great video!
Thereâs a video called âthe four chord songâ where these guys do a medley of like 20 huge pop songs using the same four chords.
Axis of Awesome ...I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane..I'm a bird plaaaaaaane, a MFn' bird plaaaaaaane lol..I listened to that way more than I should have ..Also: if you liked the 90's grunge scene than check out 'The Vestibules - The Grunge Song'..I was a kid in the 90's and loved this because it pretty much summed it up
Stuff like that really repels me from music. I have to go listen to some Steven Wilson, lunatic soul or something to be reminded thereâs still ways to be creative in music.
it's more than 20 ;)
Axis of Awesome, they've actually released a few subtly different versions.
@@carpevinum8645 Their love song is awesome as well.
Rick listens. Picks it up right away. Adds licks that instantly make the songs better.
I am so here for this.
Great video, I learned that songs most popular songs are usually simple and catchy tunes. I think you did great considering not knowing any of the songs. I am still trying to understand how to train my ear to hear what note a song is in.
Hi Rick
I'm a big fan of yours and your amazing knowledge/passion for music.
I just wanted to confirm that in Love nwantiti, there's a progression of D flat, C, F minor and E flat.
So that C major in there is acting as a secondary dominant for F minor, right ?
Much like in the remix for mon amour (F # acting as the secondary dominant for the B minor as you said).
Actually this concept is a little new for me.
Keep posting awesome videos !
Rick pulls out the solo BEFORE he hears it. Thatâs perfect pitch
What does that have to do with perfect pitch?
No it ain't.
More like relative pitch, music knowledge and experience
Checkout Adam Neelyâs video on perfect pitch. Made me genuinely sad for people that have it. Not incredibly related to these comments, nonetheless itâs a powerful video
Nothing to do with perfect pitch. Pretty easy for an experienced musician to hear what belongs there.
Rick, I love how open you are to the music you review. I know I struggle with not just skipping over the one thing I thought was a little bit cool when the majority of the song is not. The absolute lack of judgment, in terms of letting every element of the song speak for itself, is humbling for me and something I really respect.
your knowledge of music is pretty awesome!
The willow smith song is by far my favourite. Her indie-rock journey has been refreshing to see
I have been listening to Lee Hi since 2012 so glad Rick liked her. Her voice is golden, one of the most soul in Korean music imo.
âLove nwantitiâ I canât express my excitement that this song blew up on tiktok, itâs about time an Afrobeats song by an African artist exploded into the mainstream. Iâve been waiting for the afrobeats to crossover for over a decade. After despacito created a Latin explosion I hope something similar can happen for afrobeats in the future. Africa has a lot of great music to offer the world đ
@@maplesyrup4881 apologies afrobeats with an âsâ is different genre from afrobeat. Autocorrect!
Nothing âindieâ about her!
@@ts121084 its a music style
Rick, I applaud you not dragging people. Even though I'm listening to these and thinking 'wtf?'
agreed. Its essential musak. Rick is too kind.
If I made this video it would be 20 seconds long.
#10. Play one second "no"
#9. Play one second "no"
And so on
At least not in this kind of videos, but in the videos talking about older music or the state of modern music in a clickbatity way, it's a bit different. He tries to avoid conflict and it has worked so far.
@@abcrx32j one reason friends let him sleep on their couches for 3 years. Positive guy.
His knowledge of music and personality is what I admire most. Wish I could learn directly from him.
Great insights. I wonder what effect tiktok has on the music industry as a whole given that most if not all of this viral stuff can be done in home studios anyone could afford?
It may inspire young musicians to put to put their ideas out there, the industry is not for the few anymore.
Hi Rick! great post, can you repeat this kind of analysis more often? I mean once a month f.e., I think is really useful
