    One minute: This is a triad One minute later: If you superimpose the key centers and think of minor chords as 4ths which are just upside down 5ths which is really just major chords but flipped you can cadence to an adjacent key center which will make your music live longer than you.
  • @cedmayo487
    That feeling when you don't understand it but you do understand it at the same time.
  • The scariest thing he said... “I still cannot mechanically do what I hear in my head...” 😳
  • @chrishaigh8336
    Jacob: Do you guys like 2-5-1's? me: "Hell yeah" Jacob: "Yeah, I'm not super keen myself" me: "me either."
  • My man dresses like he's a sage from the top of some holy mountain... he teaches the ways of harmony to any seekers of knowledge who are brave enough to make the journey to his abode!
  • @a-benmusic
    I didn't know that he could play a normal C chord
  • @giocosovelasco
    "Harmony gets better the more notes you add" Me: lays my whole body on the piano ah yes, haremoney
  • @scottrushforth
    when you show up to a jacob collier masterclass but you don't like harmony
  • @chicotico4053
    13:19 "...when you compose a song, you imagine that this song has a long lifespan, it's going to last probably longer than you, (hopefully longer than you) so you have to leave room in the song for people to see themselves, because if people just see you in the song, then it doesn't really help anybody other than maybe you, and if they can see themselves in it, then that's what will make them fall in love with it."

    "there are worse things than that, like shipwrecks"
  • @Frontdesk99
    "I can still not do what I'm capable of doing. I still can't do what I can hear in my head. And as long as that's true, I'll always have somewhere to grow." Great mindset. Not only for musicians.
  • @portaccio
    I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that I think this guy is as close to knowing what it would have been like to see Mozart back in the late 1700s. Pure youthful talent, relentless energy and enthusiasm, game changing ideas around what music can be. Incredible.
  • @mhmm0526
    Jacob has literally 1000+ years of musical wisdom in his 25-year-old body. Just INSANE!
  • @maxadams9368
    The fact that Jacob said he is not capable of the things in his head scares me because whats hes making now is absolutely jaw dropping. I wonder whats in his head😂
  • @edieelliott
    Watching him just makes me want to get up and make music
  • @rusca8
    "Be a child for as long as you can" Yes.
  • The one dislike is from the person who said they didn't like harmony
  • @erzloh
    1:30 Jacob's brain forcing himself not to play 7th 9th 11th inversion flat 5 add 13 chords
  • @superheroman04
    "A major chord exists within every sound. Incredible!" I love how one of the most brilliant musicians on the planet still finds such joy in this
  • @BluePi1313
    Shout out to the engineer that was able to keep the microphone quiet enough every time Jacob bumps into it. Also, thank you Jacob for making this masterclass public. I've learned a lot, and I think you're a great educator.
