I absolutely LOVE 12tone!
I'm not a musician, but I enjoy learning music theory concepts, and that channel for me is pure gold. I can understand half of what's said there, and still enjoy it a lot.
A couple of my favourite videos are:
* Why Does Metal Have To Be So Loud? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fEdIKG7pm8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fEdIKG7pm8
* What We Get Wrong About Genres https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXOowACoUjE&t=478s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXOowACoUjE&t=478s
- raydiatian 4y agoAs somebody learning music theory actively, I respect the content he puts out but I don’t really respect his presentational format. His doodles are distracting and often only tangentially related to whatever he’s talking about.
- silviot 4y agoInteresting. For me they help follow what he's saying: after a few minutes I can peek at the doodles and I remember what points he touched. I never thought some people might dislike that part, but now I see you and a sibling comment do. I wonder if it's good for people like me (who don't know much about music theory) and bad for people in the field. If this is the case I believe it's a good choice: the audience of non experts is much bigger and thus the majority of viewers finding this helpful will outweight the problems of those who dislike it.
- lomaprietasolo 4y agoI completely agree. So I just turn off the video and treat these presentations as podcasts. I find the audio content is informative and doesn't need the visual distraction at all.
- raydiatian 4y agoPodcasted
- pestatije 4y agoI can't stand the visuals
- coldtea 4y agoIt's also quite meandering, and for people unfamiliar with music theory, it's probably not helping much. I know several better channels for getting the theory - including analyzing genres or songs, but most are focused on instruments + theory or composing + theory.
- IndySun 4y ago@coldtea, agree on the meandering, de-facto for youtube. Share one or two alt music explainers, maybe in a new submission, though here will do.

- IndySun 4y agoThank you.
- IndySun 4y agoWithout you knowing my skill or interest level you sent great links. Thank you. I don't follow much per se, more of a contiguous surfer, but do like Guy M's short, simply explained, music theory videos. You may appreciate his style and other videos. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH1Kp5ewZe_TP3CMB6LBw9ZjRCduyqoqj https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH1Kp5ewZe_TP3CMB6LBw9Z...
- beezlebroxxxxxx 4y agoA cool channel you should check out is Metal Music Theory[0]. He actually will play a lot of the riffs he analyzes himself, will show corresponding notation and tabs, and is fairly understandable. He is getting his PhD on rhythmic analysis of metal if I remember correctly. [0]: https://youtube.com/channel/UCIrOOZeidxZjoDRFdLqabmA https://youtube.com/channel/UCIrOOZeidxZjoDRFdLqabmA
- seneca 4y agoThis is my first encounter, and I have to say I have a hard time getting through it. The drawings are distracting and not adding much and his speaking pattern is pretty grating. His vocal-fry/drawl is just too much for my ears, and sounds affected. The content seems good but the rest of the presentation is just not worth getting through.
