Chapotony Chatano here, internet's busiest hogposter, and it's time for another edition of "Let's Argue", where we're on the internet, we accept your hot takes, unpopular opinions, and tough questions, and we struggle sesh over all of them. Leeeeet's, GO!
That's a good suggestion. I never meant to imply that western music theory is the only way to view and analyze music. It's just the way that I was taught to view it and what has worked for me so far. It's also the more widespread and available resource when you're trying to teach yourself how to understand music.
Oh yea didn't mean to imply you were being narrow-minded, it's something i've realized recently myself about a lot of academic music theory. It's not the end-all be-all, and even just a nice dose of jazz theory is a lot better than just the pure classic western theory books.
No offense taken! I enjoyed that video and the response from Adam Neely.
Oh FUCK i linked the response and not the actual video, dammiiiitttttt
haha, it's all good. I found the OG video through context.
Thanks tho, I fixed it. I didn't even watch that response video it's just what came up when I searched for it to link it :p
Well hey, it was good enough to warrant a response from Neely himself, so it must not have been too bad.
