Hi all!

I got a bug in my ass about scales recently and decided to dive into some stuff I SHOULD have already known. This video is the result of that: what are the scale modes, why are the scale modes, who and when? All those things. Also how? We just don't know.

Here's that video, out on Sunday on the main channel: https://youtu.be/86Kr04KbfH8

Also, do any of you find the fox and/or any of the graphics in these types of videos frustrating or hard to look at? I've gotten a few comments that are super negative about the fox and the paper texture I use as the background, and I'm curious what you think.

Take care! Play some scales!

Man, I have some friends share your videos because of the fox! I think it's a great way for you to give someone to look at when you're talking and it is kind of becoming your new style. Keep it, man. It's nice to have IMHO. Looking forward to watching the video as soon as I come back from this concert and get all this wisdom into my noggin.

I love the fox very much, but i think the paper texture in the back flipping around can be a little distracting. Not a huge deal though and always a pleasure otherwise

Brian Kokernak

I like the fox. The crumpled paper might be too jumpy though. Maybe something scrolling slowly and smoothly? But now I need to go replay Zelda, THANKS.

Synthi Flowers

The fox must stay! Im indifferent about the paper. I think its totally fine. But the fox, the fox is poggers

I really like the fox, and am ambivalent about the paper texture but it certainly seems fine. It feels like people will complain about anything. I like these videos, I like the style and your voice and the way you explain things.

The fox is mandatory. Anyone that doesn’t like it can fox off. Same with the paper. I’ve never been turned off by one of your videos.

It seems like you are having fun with your Youtube stuff. The fox, the gamechanger bit, it all just feels like you letting yourself come through in your work which is endearing. Definitely keep it, and do what makes you happy. Also you could treat negative comments like this: https://youtube.com/shorts/ydJmjHqsWuk?si=-0603Fz9e0MwAElt

I actually really thought the paper background was a nice touch, added movement without just being too distracting for me personally. Indifferent on the fox but I don’t think it’s taking away from what you do at all. Keep doing you man, vocal minority be damned

Anthony Perrett

The fox is great but I find the crumpled paper somewhat distracting, but that might just be my ND mind.

Tom Boucher

Ignore the haters. There’s nothing wrong with the fox, and there’s nothing wrong with the backgrounds. Only do what you want to do. I despise how easily negative dorks get in our heads. I technical issue like ‘the volume mix is way to loud here’ is great the ‘I don’t like your artistic choice’ or worse language about it just need to be muted and ignored.

Thought I was alone on the paper thing. I don't hate it really but the flickering is kind of distracting. It was fine in this one because it's low contrast but other videos it makes it hard to focus on anything else. The fox is rad.

Mike Kay

I don't mind the background, I'm just amazed at how you trained a fox to lip-sync!

Yves Auger

I can see the point about the flickering. I also think that the movements on the image can sometimes get to be a little much. But I still love the fox. He’s cute and funny. I don’t know if you are going for ‘adorable”, but you nailed it. You do you!

Jan Tuitman

I loved the way you explained Dorian, the modes get really interesting when their different character / flavor is emphasized

I love having music theory explained to me by a fox.

Matthew Paprocki

This is great style that cracked open this nut for me. If you wanted to build out into a course or accompanying reference guides, I’m open to volunteer to help. Processing this visually into graphic design would help me process it even more.

FlexMundo

My partner said they loved the fox visual unprompted while I had the video on, and they don’t watch much YouTube. I love it too!

Thats an interesting idea, I don't necessarily think I have the depth of knowledge for a course. A visualization seems like a best idea.

Rasmus Lund-Hansen

I like the paper. It keeps things lively. The fox is fun and quirky. I don't know if it's strictly necessary - I imagine a version of this video could be fashioned that didn't have the fox and just your voice-over and work as well, but I have no idea if that would take less or more effort to make. And foxes are cute!

Maybe it's this particular fox some people find off-putting, and not the concept itself? There's something about the redness around his eyes that looks a bit like he just got done feasting on something.

10/10, would fox with it again
