  • With so much music out in the world, how exactly do we find our own unique sound? Not sure I’ve found mine yet, but i have a few tips for the search.

    How on earth did you get your whole family to cooperate in this piece of movie making magic? 🤔

    Bro! This is one of your BEST videos! Loved the editing, the jokes, the fam! Your story telling is freaking awesome! Super enlighten!!! I needed this! Thank you! Much love brother! 💜

    This just *chefs kiss* I've pondered this subject a lot and come to realize that "your sound" is essentially other peoples perceptions of the way you make decisions, your taste, basically something you can only find by continuing to create until it happens by itself without you ever being conscious of it. Kind of how certain film directors get pinned with a "look" or "style" just by making films the best way they know how.

    Wow, this is so creatively edited and I love how you blended your advice with storytelling. This is the second video of yours that I've watched and I love how thoughtfully constructed these videos are. Thank you so much for your effort and advice!

    Love this one Jon. I never wanted to learn songs as a kid, I always wanted to do my own thing. So, I would capture the feel of a Jeff Beck or Holdsworth but never a whole song. Now having been out of the scene for a while, and mostly in the studio, I have had the chance to sit in a lot. So, I have been learning songs, and IT IS MAKING ME BETTER. If you learn and play dozens of Beatles tune, for example, you learn a whole heck of a lot.

    in back to the future he played a 345 with bigsby on the wall was a 355 with stoptail, that could have never been the same guitar.

    It's no coincidence I started playing the same year Michael J Fox played that guitar.
    Loving that new comedy troupe you've hired by the way, hope they're not costing you too much :)

    Thanks, Jon. Always an inspiration. . . . and, never stop pursuing your sound/voice/style. Have enjoyed you taking us along on your journey. I've even managed to learn "stuff" along the way. Wins all around.

    As someone who's finishing the production of a third (and probably last) album entirely DIY, thanks for this video. And I've got the EXACT same videos of Mr. Cleese in my feed this week. Amazing.

    ".... maybe they just want somebody who's still looking." SO GOOD. Spot on, mate. Feels like the production music end of this business has done us no favors when it comes to making an identifiable personal music/creative brand. "Jack of all genres, master of none" maybe. My frustration is (temporarily?) muted by your excellent work here, thank you. 🙏

  • @jimmcdougall9973

    Very enlightening, and entertaining. Who would have thought that, of all people, John Cleese (one of my favorite comedians) would provide us with the answer.
    I turned 60 earlier this year, and now realize the trap I had fallen into.
    Thank you.

  • @DreHolzer
    @DreHolzer Před rokem

    So funny! The riffs you were working on are exactly the same riffs I’ve been playing recently: Layla, Sweet Child ‘o Mine, and Money for Nothing. Great. You should try Sultans of Swing as well…

    I have been years trying to stick to this originality thing without doing anything likable and always giving up. In one summer day, I have seen Joe Hisaishi playing and understood I would never be able to do something like this if I don't understand the patterns of his playing. So, I asked myself, isn't the most easier way to learn just by doing the same as he does? This took me out from creating a decent chorus every decade to creating a decent chorus in days, you can learn soo much with the masters and even theory becomes easier to understand.

    Speaking of Duluth, MN... 😅 The beginning of the 5th track of my debut album is the sound of waves I recorded there on the shore of Lake Superior during a vacation to the US. So I guess I was copying nature to create my mysterious alien planet sound. Also the sunrises over the lake are spectacular!!! 🤩🌅💯

    Yeah, that USP is a struggle. Over the years, I've given up and just try to really listen and go with what I like. Maybe that's enough, maybe it isn't, but you can't find something you can't identify, as you show so well in the video.

    Hey Jon, just for some alternative feedback (since most of it is so overwhelmingly positive), I thought the jumping around between topics, locations, and stories was on the distracting side. I can see what you were going for, but being taken out of the zone by sudden switches in scenery or interruptions from family made it a lot harder to absorb what you were trying to say, kind of like ADHD.
    I also know that you know you were all over the place in the video, but I hope you can make use of my comment in some way for future videos; perhaps for timing of the scene switches, or better flow between topics. Thanks for the hard work and your quality content as always!

    So, I hope you see this comment. You video quality is great and you nailed the audio. Now the but.. your story skill may need some help. Let me explain. I have gone through some of your past videos (the hi view counts) and looked at your more recents. I believe in a simple fix to bring it back. Your videos are so smooth and enjoyable when it's filled with reactions. You do something and then something happens as a response. You're best video started with you talking and the video shots were reacting to your words. I would suggest you trying this approach again. when that video started I was really focused, as the reaction stalled so did my focus. If this current video had a voice over mystery theater 3000 style commenting on screen it could be a solution to bring you more views. But if this just seems to be one of those comments that would slow you down from making really great content. Never look back. I truly think that this could bring you some good Internet mojo. Hope this helps 😎👍 thank you
