He's not even doing the left hand doh? Only difficulty I see is memorising THAT MANY ******* SONGS but also not fat fingering things on the fast part

Agreed, it got super impressive when they were fast firing the different Marios at him and he was barely missing a beat.

The guy is awesome, he has a few other videos that are pretty cool, but this is where it all started. Axis of Awesome - 4 Four Chord Song (with song titles)

This one page is comedy gold for anyone who can(or can't, seeing is it's unplayable by any realistic standards) read music.
User avatar #11 to #9 - jigglypug (10/31/2015) [-]

That's cool, but where's the rest of Axis of Awesome? Do they not always work together?
User avatar #48 to #47 - iflirtwithanyone [OP](11/01/2015) [-]
He does a lot on his own
#49 to #48 - majorandrew (11/01/2015) [-]
Ok thanks
User avatar #50 to #49 - iflirtwithanyone [OP](11/01/2015) [-]
Check out his channel to. He does some more 4 cord songs and 6 cord songs. Not as funny as with axis but still awesome
#51 to #50 - majorandrew (11/01/2015) [-]
Oh okay, I didn't know he had his own channel, I'll check it out.

User avatar #59 - catkyte (11/01/2015) [-]
what so they just ask for random songs and he does them off the top of his head?
User avatar #63 to #59 - ihaveabigpenis (11/01/2015) [-]
I know its hard to wrap your head around it but yes, thats what is happening
User avatar #67 to #59 - fatminion ONLINE (11/01/2015) [-]
most popular songs loosely follow harmonic and melodic rules, so if you know the melody you can probably play it just by thinking about it. I dare say 99.9% of music teachers can transcribe any pop melody with 99.9% accuracy. And yeah, once the melody is done, there are some pretty standard ways of choosing which cord you play behind it. And this guy doesn't have to get it in a specific key cuz he's just playing on his harmonium or whatever that thing's called.

TLDR: most accomplished musicians could do this
User avatar #68 to #67 - fatminion ONLINE (11/01/2015) [-]
plus he's only doing melody with sometimes a second voice or a chord in the background, so he's totally ignoring the bass/left hand part, which would complicate things a lot. Imagine, for example, the Ghostbuster's theme. The left hand on a piano would the bass line, which is rhythmically different than the melody. So in order to grab that one out of your arse you'd have to think quick about both melodies and play both at once - essentially transcribing 4 voices simultaneously. Doable, but twice as hard as what this dude does.

You know what? Maybe I'll set up a webcam thing and do the same thing he does, but on guitar, just to show you how easy it is for accomplished musicians.

Nice.. I'm always looking for new **** like this and I never heard of them before so thanks for puttin me on game.

You ever heard of Eklips? The most amazing beat box video ever!!! 4 minutes hip hop history by Eklips for Trace

probably my favorite beat-boxer
User avatar #7 to #5 - iflirtwithanyone [OP](10/31/2015) [-]
One of my favourites. As far as beatboxing goes, I will never not listen to this guy
Lion King Beatbox
User avatar #12 to #7 - hashtronaut (10/31/2015) [-]
that was pretty dope...and because it's Lion King - this might not be a beatboxing video but I think i'll just leave it here for you lol Lil Dicky - Lion King (prod. by Mazik Beats)
User avatar #17 to #12 - iflirtwithanyone [OP](10/31/2015) [-]
This is fantastic
#18 to #17 - hashtronaut (10/31/2015) [-]
I can legit say I promote this dudes music more often than I push my own... it's cool to see his rise though. It started with a reddit post of his 1st music video, which got over a million views overnight, then came the free mixtapes with music videos (Where the lion king one happened at), and now his new album has an animated music video with snoop for an opener and hit #1 in the itunes charts when it dropped.

2nd pre-order i've purchased in my life lol
User avatar #19 to #18 - hashtronaut (10/31/2015) [-]
( "it's cool to see lil dicky rise" pause tho)
User avatar #20 to #19 - iflirtwithanyone [OP](10/31/2015) [-]
Damn...I gotta check out more of his stuff. Also gotta get a quiet day at home so I can record again. All I have since my computer crashed is a complete **** mixtape I made back in high school lol
#21 to #20 - hashtronaut (10/31/2015) [-]
i have a fj mixtape coming in the near future.. i'm not sure what the % would be, but it's on it's way to complete.

but get back on the horse man.. i know how it feels to lose material, my laptop died at the end of last year and it still has like a huge portion of the songs from 2014 trapped in it.

Actually, if you want.. I posted this as an open collab - I got a few people who're playing with it but if you dig it feel free to play with it when you get the rec time.

Oh **** yeah I'm messing with that
User avatar #22 to #21 - iflirtwithanyone [OP](10/31/2015) [-]
Losing my **** was the most devasting part of it. Family Pictures? **** em. Downloaded movies? I'll just get em back. My music though...That's precious. Nothing should take that from someone.
User avatar #24 to #22 - hashtronaut (10/31/2015) [-]
lmao I feel you 100%. And you just reminded me about this song...DFD's talking about a crackhead breaking into his car, but close enough. (this reply wouldn't have taken this long but my internet been slow as texas rap lately n i wanted to pull the lyrics up to not **** up and paraphrase lol)
DFD - Stereo Jack ft. Ehwhenkeem - [Official Audio] - 8

Yeah
He took all my albums from '93 'till
Wu-Tang, De La, Hove, Lauryn Hill
Bet he's bumping underground, kings getting trilled
Outkast and Yeezy, man what a steal
Jack both my speakers and all my iPods
So many MP3 that I had to buy five
All adding up to 'bout 500 gigs
Took years to build a music collection that big
He haunts me in my dreams with headphones on
Scratching up CDs and deleting my songs

Then I wake up in cold sweat, just feeling so vexed
Yelling out, " ************ , that isn't yo' **** "
Music is my crack, give me that crack back
Give me my stuff back, I'll buy you a crack sack
How can people in this world be so cold?
When he took my stereo he took a piece of my soul
User avatar #25 to #24 - iflirtwithanyone [OP](10/31/2015) [-]
**** I haven't listened to this in a while lol

When I **** with that song, I gotta just add another verse on there. That slow preciseness could go really well with some Cleveland speed
User avatar #26 to #25 - hashtronaut (10/31/2015) [-]
i dont like DFD's new style, the trap **** ...but hey everybody gotta get out their box now n then

but yeah that's all it needs is another verse hence the 'open collab' lol. (i actually didnt produce it, but i DO produce. i just produce weirder **** haha - soundcloud.com/auralsex-beats/brilliant-mind-dumb-body )
User avatar #27 to #26 - iflirtwithanyone [OP](10/31/2015) [-]
**** , you got me in the writing mood now. I'm gonna have to get the house to myself for a couple hours and do some recording soon
User avatar #28 to #27 - hashtronaut (10/31/2015) [-]
haha yeah I kinda got that struggle - I used to actually have my own spot back in denver which was essentially more studio than home (it was pretty common to have somebody crashed out on all 3 couches in the main room lol) but, well to make a long story short i been on a dirt road in kansas with my disabled grandpa since 2011 because you do what you gotta do for family
He says he doesnt mind the music and **** , but... outta respect I try to not be a nuisance. Like... He goes to bed at 9:30 so i shut off the subwoofer at that point lol
what trips me out though is even though I ended up in rural ass ks where there's more farmers than people who like rap... I still managed to build a lil music team out here. one of them actually lives down the ****** dirt road from me at their uncles haha
btw, just for the hell of it here's one I made w/ a FF9 sample haha

You'd be how few people I've found since I moved to Australia that even listen to rap, let alone write anything. Hopefully soon though. I wanna get a small time Gorillaz type thing going, with a group of guys, all animated for videos
User avatar #30 to #29 - hashtronaut (10/31/2015) [-]
i'll have to get my buddy Angelis' info for you, i'm having trouble remembering his music name but he's a producer out in Melbourne over there... on some new-age jazz fusion hip-hop type **** ... real down to earth dude too. He goes back to this **** I started a few years ago called Producers United, but I actually ended up leaving it behind because of some internal problems. but that's also all irrelevant lol

Also.. 2 things: 1. fun fact - the guy who used to do the rapping in Gorillaz (the drummer gorilla who got all giant in the sunshine in a bag video) is Del, who is ice cube's cousin haha and 2. if you like that animated kinda stuff you'll probably dig these dudes - sadly, they broke up. but.. there's quite a few music videos out there. ) TAKE OVER THE WORLD - (Your Favorite Martian music video)
User avatar #31 to #30 - iflirtwithanyone [OP](10/31/2015) [-]
No **** , I'm living outside melbourne right now lol.

The group I wanna get going has gotta be out there though. I want fresh voices that don't try to be anyone else. Not even trying to do it all here. The internet is magical. I can search the world for people at this point lol


White Boy Wasted is my favourite of theirs lol. That and Tig Ol' Bitties
User avatar #32 to #31 - hashtronaut (10/31/2015) [-]
yeah I feel you that's what's great about the net is distance isn't an issue. and well I'd like to think i'm in my own lane so i'm definitely down to get some **** crackin' with you. Here's one of my more "known" songs I guess you could say, it's older so i've spammed it to more people anyway lmao... it's what i'd consider 'my vibe' though. soundcloud.com/dathashtronaut/another-late-night
#33 to #32 - iflirtwithanyone [OP](10/31/2015) [-]
Click to show spoiler
You've got something I don't have too. I can't produce or mix for **** . I just hear beats and go with it lol.

That was pretty dope too

also, you've gotta be ******** me...
User avatar #36 to #33 - hashtronaut (10/31/2015) [-]

User avatar #34 to #33 - hashtronaut (10/31/2015) [-]
>custom

Who the **** is 'custom' ...megaman? speaking of, sorry if i'm drowning you in links lol but here's honestly one of my favorite beats i've made... i used a megaman rom on a nes emulator to isolate the melody in the game (cutting out the ****** 8bit drums and such lol) and sampled a few other pieces of the game, like the power buster charging up. It's going to be part of a project i'm doing called Nintendope that's going to have all Nintendo-influenced/sampled beats and the lyrics will be chock full of references to those games. yada yada sorry i talk a lot lol soundcloud.com/auralsex-beats/nes-on-drugs


but for real, thanks man I appreciate that. I've been doing this for a long ****** time and don't have much anything to show for it...so i'm happy to know people dig the **** I still put out.
User avatar #35 to #34 - iflirtwithanyone [OP](10/31/2015) [-]
**** man, I gotta get some sleep. You kept me up writing lol. I got a verse down on paper now though. Just need to record it and put it over the beat
User avatar #44 to #21 - daemonicdemeanor (11/01/2015) [-]
That image bugs me. Electronic music is significantly easier to make that other genres. What I mean by that is anybody, literally anybody, can sit down and make an electronic song in a few hours. It probably won't be very good, but anyone can do it. To make music any other way, you have to spend at least a few months practicing, all the way to 10,000 hours to master an instrument. I don't think people hating on electronic music think it's literally done by the computer, and obviously talent is involved, but not skill. If you are naturally good at writing music, you can learn in 15 minutes how to make a song whereas other musicians require tons of patience to even get to the point they can start writing music.

I've met so many people that thought they were the next deadmau5 or Skrillex because they made a ****** trance beat in Fl Studio. I've written a few songs including 2-4 guitar parts, bass, drums bass and drums I use either a drum machine or Fl studio/something similar and vocals. Recording music costs thousands of dollars, vs. pirating/paying $100 for a program and takes quite a few takes to get it just right vs. the computer adjusting everything perfectly in real time.

Not hating on electronic music, like anything, tons of it is crap and some is really ******* good. Think Mozart, he composed music at three years old or whatever, but he didn't master the piano or anything like that until much later.

**daemonicdemeanor used "*roll picture*"**
**daemonicdemeanor rolled image**If you read the whole thing you'd notice I wasn't insulting electronic music.

Just saying it's way more difficult to learn to play music than make it on a computer. Not insulting the talent or finished product. I'm just saying that the people who think it's easy to make aren't saying that because they think a retarded giraffe could do it. It's insulting to a person who has spent decades mastering something and someone who made something on fl studio thinks they put just as much effort into their music. Rappers are the same way. They can be insanely talented but most people could learn to rap like Lil Wayne in an evening. I would do the same thing if someone posted a picture of a person saying ***** 20 times as the "what people think." Vs. someone reading out lyrics written in blood on a napkin in the actual image.

That image just made me picture the edgy rave kid who would always play techno he made through his phone. 4/4 beat, g minor with no changes, no layers and the default pack of samples in fl studio.
