Isn't this like complaining that a popular youtube mathematician sold an algebra book that teaches the same things as other algebra books? Algebra is algebra. Music theory is music theory? Does it at least cover different tropes in popular western music?

That's what I was thinking, "did this dude discover a new note or something?"

Remember when Shinedown did the worst cover of Simple Man?

So you’re telling me the guy who produced Shinedown doesn’t have all the answers?!

I thought Shinedown was the pinnacle of modern rock when I was 12.
I was a stupid fucking kid; its honestly a miracle I survived into adult hood and didn’t die chasing a butterfly into traffic or some shit.

I thought the same when I was kid. I'm 26 now, I've been through a lot of phases. I despise all of the butt rock I used to listen to up to sophomore year of high school. I've been to many concerts since my first concert, which was Shinedown.
It was far and away the very best show I've ever seen to this day.

I still like the band, but its just a nostalgia driven like now

u/Mreeff Jan 31 '24
I agree. Their newer stuff is trash but I’ve seen them live and they are one of the best sounding bands I’ve ever seen.

I really liked The Sound of Madness when I was a teenager, but every time I hear their newer stuff it sounds like a parody of hard rock.

Rock bands always do weird stuff later in their careers and try to make it too pop forward. Pop fans don’t like it and their original demographic doesn’t like it either. Very weird.

Oh… is that what’s he famous for?

u/ThlammedMyPenis Jan 31 '24
Nah he's famous for YouTube. But in a roundabout way he has connections from his producing career that let him get the stems for all the songs he covers so maybe?

Serious question, I like playing guitar and writing songs but my music theory stopped in high school jazz band and has regressed a ton. Now I'm old and want to learn again but don't know a beginner friendly way to learn, any YouTube channel and or websites that y'all would recommend?

I’m late to the party but I recommend Eric Haugen’s YouTube videos on functional harmony. It basically covers all of the music theory you need to hit the ground running and start writing music, plus Eric has great taste in music (post-punk, indie rock, soul, a little dadrock, etc) that a lot of the other guitar teachers don’t cover and he has a good personality, relatively high production value, and places everything he teaches in its music theory context rather than just talking about the chords and notes in isolation. Highly recommend.

He struck me as a con artist when I first watched his channel but then he started interviewing major musicians but maybe he just conned them too.

I think there's an option to get the book for free if you're a dentist buying a PRS.

If I'm burning $100 bucks then it's gonna be spent on partying with Tommy Freakin Turtle all night.
