Is it a curse to be a musical genius but can't write a decent song?
>>128201636Are you really a musical genius if you can't write a decent song?
Mattingly! I thought I told you to trim those sideburns
decent defined by whom, by what?
ask Jacob collier
the more you know about music the less gooder you are at making music
>>128201692Is there a threshold for good taste? Is it completely subjective?
>>128201927>Is there a threshold for good taste?no>Is it completely subjective?unless we can find some absolute criteria, yes
>>128201636yes
>>128201636yes. there's a shit ton of great instrumentalists and producers who are just incapable of writing a good song
>>128201636Post something he wrote so I can decide if it's good or not.
Why can't they? I mean they can detect good music, why not play radomly until you find something good then refine it...is it because they try too hard and always prioritize complicated musical theory?
>>128201677diffeent skillsetBRIAN WILSON couldn't write a song. he needed someone to focus his light. like a magnifying glass frying an antP-Mac, J-Len, they could write a song but weren't even close to having Brian's musical abilityBob Dylan was better than all of these guys but musically pretty dulltldr: songwriting isn't the same thing as musical ability
Instead of bitching about this how about you people name virtuosos that could/can write good songs (any genre)
>>128201636real musical geniuses write bigger things than songs OP, they write synphonies and concertos
>>128201636Is there such thing as a Rick Beato song?I literally have never heard thing he has ever writen.
absolutely, i have perfect pitch, got a 9 in gcse music, am constantly gooning to jazz fusion and prog rock and shit. i have the most decked out spotify. but most of the time i can't even come up with a decent melody. i'm good at making rhythm sections though, i can do anything but make a fucking melody, i have made the most earth shattering, ass jiggling, anally raping chord progressions, some fire bass accompaniment and percussion, and strings that will just make you cum all over the place. but i can not FOR THE LIFE OF ME MAKE A FUCKING MELODY. what the FUCK. THIS IS A CURSE. WHY CAN'T I BE BILL WURTZ. WHY CAN'T I BE YES. WHY CAN'T I BE JAMIROQUAI
>>128201744one of the only times where i really like a musician and respect them, but hate their music. he somehow managed to fuck up bridge over troubled water like that song is so perfect how do you even do that
>>128206545>bill wurtzThe fact that you think bill wurtz wrote great melodies is part of the reason that you can't write good melodies
His son Dylan will either turn into a tranny or a shitty rapper
>>128201636There is literally no way you and I made the exact same thread even though I didn’t see yours until now. That’s actually UNREAL. >>>>128207329
>>128205662>songwriting isn’t the same thing as musical abilityYes it is.
>>128206001Dumbass opinion
>>128205954Prince, Stevie Wonder, Hendrix, and that’s it
>>128206553There isn’t a single piece of music that Jacob collier couldn’t ruin by overdoing it
>>128205570They cannot detect good music. >>128202869Don’t put yourself through that.
To answer the question in the OP.These guys only learnt how to play music with their hands. They didn’t learn how to play it with their minds.
>>128208482The best musicians play with their hands and mind. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, Mahler, Brahms, Bruckner, Schoenberg, the list goes on
>>128208501Yes, exactly, thank you for clarifying my point. It is both at the same time.
>>128201692By /mu/core fans.
>>128206007The point.
>musical geniusHe never claimed that
>>128207224He has excellent memory, so yes, shitty rapper.
>>128201692By similarity to thishttps://youtu.be/qsKjzWd06lY?si=PX9dnymedY_0in26
>>128209364That's not bad, actually.
>>128201636yes.
Rick Beato has a horse cock
>>128210046What is the origin of that "meme" besides your fetish? Is there one?
>>128210061also hayley williams likes zoomersalso Bono from U2 is related to KFC in some way
>>128210061Him having a horse cock is the origin you fucking retard
Theory can't write music.
>>128206553He's a soulless bugman who has a lot of technical skills. He would be much better as a session musician
>>128210083epic meme breh
>>128205954Eddie Van Halen
>>128211799in a way you're right, he needs someone to guide him - and to sometimes say, "No, that's shit, get your head out of your ass."
Most people criticizing him can't even write a song and don't know theory either.
