Chords for These TikTok ‘’Musicians’’ Need to STOP

[D] Hey, how's it going?
Welcome back to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
Today we will be watching some [G] very _ sacrilegious TikTok content.
[D] So sacrilegious that I can't believe it's even [E] there,
if that [D] makes sense. Yeah, it's_
Why [Fm] is that even there?
[G] I don't know, maybe it's because like,
[Eb] TikTok's all about like, you know, [F] lip syncing.
And maybe [C] these people just thought,
[Bb] well, we can lip sync, we can fake play.
I don't know what it is.
It's kind of hard to explain.
[G] Let's just start watching it and you'll see what we mean.
Yeah, you guys get a [F] feel for it.
So the first group is these [D] fake piano tutorials, [Gbm] right?
They're like, faker than [E] simply piano.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[E] Why is this even content?
Yeah.
This should not be [Gbm] content.
So many things_
Alright, first [N] of all,
how dare you draw on your piano keys
with [E] a black marker, dude?
Dude, that's a disrespect.
And then the second thing, right?
I [B] wish you could play with [C] just three notes.
88-key piano, you know, with 12 pitches in the scale,
but you just need [Am] 1, 2, 3.
I really want to count
how many different pitches come out of that [G] 1.
Just for my own curiosity.
[E] So the 1 is actually meant to [B] be a C.
[Gb] B.
_ _ E.
_ [C] _ [B] F [Gb] sharp. _ _
[B] _ D sharp.
[Db] [Bb] Oh my god!
And the final B.
So there's [D] 4 notes on that same C.
[Gbm] Why did 380,000 people like this thing though?
They [A] were going,
very nice.
Harry Potter in 1, 2, 3.
Or they were like,
that is so fake.
Ha ha ha, [Db] like_
You're not [Fm] supposed to support fake music, guys!
Yeah, it's like one thing if it got a lot of [Eb] views.
Why are you liking it?
Why is there so many likes?
[Bbm] Yeah, why can't I help but [C] think
that actually people believe it?
Maybe like 12-year-old kids
that never play an instrument.
Oh, that's even worse!
It's they're all getting [D] scammed!
Whoa.
Whoa!
_ No, you don't_ Nah. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [E] Bro.
First one.
The candle's thicker than one key.
We have a piano right [D] here, let's demonstrate.
That candle's about this thick, right?
And he [Ab] placed it on the right, [C] right?
So it's not even the lower bass.
Yeah, it sounded like a low bass, guys.
But look.
But he placed it on the right,
so it would've [G] sounded _ like_
But instead it sounded [D]
like_
_ This is how it's meant to be, right?
[Dm] _
_ [Gm] _ [D] _ _ _ [Gb] You [G] see how like_
[A] As the [Gb] pitch goes [E] high, it goes this way.
You [Dm] can't just stay in one key.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's [E] a little nice.
While we're here, let me [Em] demonstrate Harry Potter.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _
[Bm] _ Notice how [Bb] there's black keys used.
Anyway, [E] if you're 12 and watching this,
and you're on YouTube,
we're glad [F] we can educate you.
Not everything you see is real on the internet these days.
[Eb] Whoa, this next [Gb] one has 7.3 million likes.
Are you kidding me?
_ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [E] Can I just say something?
Yeah.
_ Their [Em] hand is like_
It doesn't feel like a piano, but it's way too stiff.
I don't think any respectable [E] piano player
would do this to themselves.
Actually, yeah.
If you're an actual pianist, you'll never do it.
You can play his rendition too, right?
Oh yeah, let's play it.
[D] See? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ That's what it should sound like.
Yeah.
Thanks [Ab] for the tutorial, man.
Alright, [E] so now we got [B] the_
It's like the [C] weird cousin.
[Em] You know?
Of this [C] variety.
It's just mutated, guys.
This is what happened.
Yeah, and so now [Am] there's the fake [A] guitar tutorial.
Oh, [E] dude.
An offspring.
[Bbm] _ _ _ [C] _ [Fm] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Okay.
_ [Bbm] _ I'm no_
[A] I'm no guitarist, [Eb] but you can hear [C] more than one, though.
Yeah!
[Ab] Yeah, I was gonna say.
Bam, [G] that's a chord.
That's at least like_
I think I heard three notes.
And where's the left hand?
Yeah.
Otherwise, it's gonna be open strings.
[Gm] E, D, A, G.
I forgot the open strings,
but there's definitely [A] no B flats and D flats.
I think what's really [Cm] weird to me is that
it's almost become like a genre.
It's like this niche genre that gets
hundreds of thousands of likes of just people being like,
-"Yeah, [Gb] I want to [D] see [Ab] _ _ 12323."
Like_
-"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Maybe they just can't count to four, though.
_ [Gbm] Dude! _ _
[B] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ He's not even on time!
He just_ Random_ Yeah.
_ _ [B] _ And [A] [Db] like_
_ _ [B] It should go [D] down, but he didn't even bother.
Maybe this is actually [C] just some like_
_ _comedy
that we didn't understand.
[N] Yeah, I think so.
Everyone has their own sense of humor, right?
So I [Gb] won't judge.
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ [Db] Can [Gb] I_
I really appreciate his effort putting
[Bbm] 123456 [C] on those strings too.
Like, thanks.
I guess like, the [Eb] target audience for this type of TikTok.
[C] Probably put it [Ab] in to figure it out.
Yeah, that's true.
They need the help.
Yeah, they need _ _ [A] really_
Even your neighbor could probably teach you guitar [Em] better than this.
They'll figure it out.
[D] Actually, that's a good point.
Like, I'm all for finding a good teacher.
But I'm pretty [G] sure anyone could learn any instrument
to [D] better expertise by themselves with the [G] internet.
I'm sure if [C] you grab the guitar_
That's what I mean!
_and
just f*** it up.
You just [F] figure it out.
You don't need this video.
Okay, so_
The last weird genre_
And by the [Bb] way, we've actually reacted to some of these
on our TikTok.
So if you haven't seen our TikTok, go check it [Gm] out.
The last one that we [Am] see quite a bit of is [F] these_
Apparently, it's a new scam that's popping up
everywhere in America.
They just go outside, place like a target with speakers,
[Gm] and they all play the same few songs.
[C] I think we should show you guys what we're talking [Gbm] about.
Alright, so this one's got like 2 million likes.
Probably 20 million views.
And some people say it's [Dbm] fake,
but [Eb] a lot of people think it's real.
So let's just watch what [Dm] happens, right? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ [F] _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ So [D] people in the comments were like,
he's so talented.
Problem is, he's not playing.
Yeah, [A] I reckon he's probably had some lessons.
But [C] he's shifting in the wrong places.
[D] His bow is [E] sometimes [C] not in the right place,
but it should be.
Yeah.
Here's the main [Gm] one.
_ _ _ [E] He shifts [Am] down.
And it's kind of annoying because
he reacted [Bb] to this, right?
And then [Am] the top comment was this guy who was [Dm] like,
maybe he's not [Am] faking.
It's just like a out of sync
because it's [Bm] a social [Am] media video.
It's not out of sync, like_
So I'm gonna play the whole thing.
[F] And then I'm gonna ask Editor-san to add lag
so [G] you see what out [C] of sync looks like.
You'll see the notes change at the time of my bow.
[D] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ Nah, he did. _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ He's going back.
_ At no point of the music
is there an F down here.
It [D] doesn't help that there are like an audience there.
As if [G] they were enjoying it.
But [E] maybe they were fooled too.
So it [A] looks very convincing.
And here's the thing, like_
I read in [D] a comment, someone's [Bm] like,
who cares it's [A] fake, man?
The kid's a good actor.
That's not the [Ab] point.
Because they're making [D] money, I'm assuming, right?
Like these type of [A] buskers.
You know, the moms holding the sign.
He's [D] profiting off someone else's [G] work.
I think the violinist's name is Josh Vietti.
[Gbm] And they're trying to make it [G] sound like
it's their own [Db] work.
And it's also [Bm] teaching the kid these [E] values.
It's [A] okay, you make the money.
[D] You make the money.
It's like_
Well, who cares if I [C] cheat on an exam
[Bm] as long as I pass and get my diploma?
[Gb] Yeah, so_
That's [Dm] the type of thinking you're heading [D] down.
And [Ebm] I think that's really_
[C] That's the scariest part.
It's also scary how [F] the comments also_
They're [Ab] defending that.
They're defending that.
Who cares he's lying?
[Db] Yeah, maybe in this context,
because it's such a good vibe, who cares he's lying.
[Eb] But I think it's a breach [E] of [D] trust as artists as well.
It's a [G] bit of a_ [Ab] Immoral.
Immoral just to_
Yeah, I'm [D] not gonna go on stage and airboat and bark out.
Yeah, that's the one thing I've [Eb] always loved
about [F] classical music.
It's like, we don't fake [Gb] on stage.
And it's a lot [Eb] more rewarding.
[Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ That's self-explanatory, right?
He just can't play [A] the violin.
_ [Ab] Okay, [C] look_
That's all he's got to sound like.
Even if [Ab] it's electric,
we know electric violin can get away with a lot of things
in terms of like, projection, _ contact_ Tone quality.
[Gb] But even with electric violin, [E] that_
That ain't gonna sound.
It needs to be parallel to the bridge, not triangle.
[Fm] Hey, but at least the TikTok [Gb] knows that [E] he's [Eb] scamming.
That's what [Fm] they are.
I'm [Gb] trying to catch him on [Ab] camera.
Oh, he missed.
Did you [Ebm] guys see that?
Did you catch that?
They are not really playing.
_ _ _ Oh [Fm] my_
I [Dm] love this like_ Oh yeah.
Oh wait, the music finished. _ _ _
[G] Yeah, these ones are a bit more obvious.
In the first one, it's like,
he's practiced a little bit just through fake.
Why couldn't he just [Eb] practice a little bit more
and just perform it?
I know!
And your [N] life would have been so much better!
Just 40 more hours.
All right, [D] hopefully after today's [Gb] video_
I mean, I'm sure most of you can [G] already tell
the 1, 2, 3 is fake.
If you see someone [Gbm] playing electric violin with a speaker,
and you're not sure, feel free [A] to film them.
Send us a message and we can_
And you know, lag doesn't fix your [D] intonation and notes.
All right guys, that's it for today.
Remember_
All of you [Eb] probably f***ed if you_
All of [A] you_
[D] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
