What Is Wrong With Everyone?

If someone ever accuses me of bending a note out of tune I'll be sure to let them know they simply don't know the song

Rick's entire family are just pranking him at this point lmao

I'm a teacher and I have consistently recommended your channel to students for years now. I always tell them, "You won't understand everything he says, but you'll be submerged into the world of music." I vote "don't change" Rick

I am not a musician, nor a music expert -- but I swear tuning is like one of THE most basic things for me. I know what flat/sharp sounds like and I am absolutely baffled you had this experience

So, basically I do not sing out of tune, people just dont know my songs. Great, ty

This video perfectly illustrates the madness of being a musician surrounded by normal people. LOL

Hearing a song with an instrument out of tune always gives me shiver....no matter whether I know the song or not. And the first thing I learned BEFORE starting to play my guitar was to set the guitar in tune.

Only few blessed people is so nerdy with this. I love u all musicians. We can feel the world❤️🎶😇

My daddy was a piano tuner for 60 years. He tuned for Phil Collins, Status Quo, Elkie Brookes among many others. He knew when my guitar was off by half a cent. It was always in tune when dad was around. He passed last year. I miss him so much😔

The moment Rick realizes most of his audience doesn't understand most of his content, but he makes it fascinating anyhow ...

In my experience playing with concert bands, symphonies, and rock bands, the latter never spent enough time tuning. In the other groups we would spend 10-15 minutes making sure everyone was in tune before the show. The directors made us tune individually to A440. We would then go from section to section separately to make sure that section was in tune. Then we would test the larger group. I have known conductors stopping in the middle of a show after a number and retune. You are on the money - absolutely essential. You have to be in tune yourself, first. In church groups now I work with I encourage the instrumentalists to take that extra time in the beginning to tune. Many of them don't which I don't understand. I have offered my services to help and most don't take me up on it. Rick, you are gift to the music field!

I told my husband years ago that Kenny G was sharp. He didn’t understand until I told him he played above the pitch. Now he gets it. Watching American Idol helped him understand. Lots of folks were flat, singing below the pitch. He gets it😊

You’re NOT losing it Rick. I think you are really in tune with this topic.

😂😂😂I’m crying. You have to make this a shirt. “How do I know it’s out of tune? I don’t even know the song.“

As a guitar player & a passionate music listener, trust me that demonstrating the subject of 'out of tune' to my girlfriend was an epic test of my patience & multiple deep breaths!!!!

I've worked with band directors who couldn't tell when their guitar or their voice was out of tune. The same people had trouble telling when something was in tune, often claiming that people they didn't like were out of tune when they weren't.

Best Rick's rant of the year so far.

This is what Rick does instead of yelling at kids to get off his lawn. Love it.

I grew up the son of a piano rebuilder and tuner. I constantly heard strings being brought into partial tune and full tune, and I never realized how this had shaped my musical palate. That is, until I started dealing with other musicians, both pro and amateur and hobbyist. Like you, I was often internally saying, "can't you hear how that's out of tune?!!" Usually, with itself, but sometimes in ensemble. I will say, though, that as satisfying as an in-tune piano sounds to me, my favorite is hearing a cellist resolve their strings into perfect tune.... Odd, perhaps, but so am I. LOL Long live the well-trained ear...death to autotune!

Makes perfect sense to me a failed band member in the 8th grade who needs hearing aids now. I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up.
