I'd never heard of Mr Collier and didn't expect to want to watch every minute of the almost two hours, and yet, here I am, loving it. His brain is working so fast he can barely keep up with it.
-
The way Jacob talk fast seems like he has so much to share to the whole world
-
You can tell he really enjoys what he does. Which is why he has such a great understanding of things.. His excitement is infectious. Makes me want to get better!
-
Mad respect to Jacob but I think I need a degree just to understand what's going on, only 11 minutes in, pray for me š©š
-
25:29 - cool trick for modulating to the tritone of a key (for my own future reference)
-
I think that you should create your own lessons right from scratch... for any person that is just starting with music.. I am strongly convinced that if you give the possibility of Having a grasp of your approach to music at an early stage of the learning curve, will deliver MUCH RICHER musicians to the world for years to come. I salute you extraterrestrial master.
-
When you're a genius you can afford to say "fuck the rules". Genius !
-
You can just see how humble this guy is. Like are you serious? What Grammy winning? Artist is still making videos using not his but his sisterās iPad.? Most people lose themselves in the money in the fame, and heās just so humble to want to go do hours long master classes at colleges? Itās great
-
I absolutely know nothing about music but Jacob Collier is such a compelling genius to watch (even if I havenāt a clue what heās talking about) that he draws you in into his own unique world and brain!!!! 26 y o musician giving a Masterclassā¦now thatās beyond impressive and incredible!
-
You can learn 5 years of theory from this one video. Collier the GOAT
-
I love this dude now. Love his responses to those last few questions at the end, how he anchors himself in just being alive. I should know this.. and I do, but itās refreshing to hear and remember that we all deal with many of the same issues, no matter the point in your journey.

59:09 This is so cool because phrygian's super-ultra-hyper-mega-meta scale circles the fifths
-
This is my sixth time watching this. Too much information to absorb. Thanks for uploading.
-
"Real life is better than Skype." Well, that aged like fine milk.
-
Omg... This guy is a freaking wizard in music.
-
1:09:48 Brings in a Zappa lead line, like it's nothing... Jacob ā¤
-
Jacob talks about discovering a new way to bend harmony like he just found a new pokemon
-
I love Jacob Collier his approach to Harmony is just AMAZING
-
"keep going, no-one told you to stop..." Jacob's succinctly stated philosophy of harmony. Gotta love it ! THANKS, Jakob
-
The cultural philosophy aspect toward the end is absolutely mind blowing and also something Iāve been digging at. Iāve seen the same sort of attunement, I guess you could say, in many indigenous languages and any cultural dance as far as physiological stimulation or release of trauma.
