Me: oh that sounds nice He:that was horrible Me: yeah that was nothing ...

How come when he click a button I hear a beautiful summer day in nature, but when I click a button I hear my parents crying

3:14 - 3:32 Me: Falling in love with existence and the fact that every decision of my life has lead to this moment of me listening to this melody right now. Guy: That was... horrible.

One of the best thing in Guy's videos, is that eternal lively and joyful attitude, making us smile. Other youtubers feel happy only showing their talent (that is great enough), but Guy uses his mind, thinking music while filming and recording the whole stuff. So enjoyable as a musician...THANKS Guy!

And he said, "Let there be drums," and there were drums.

Guy is simply the best. Unmatched master! I learn so much from your tutorials.

finally someone not writing "beats". and he's shown me how to mak emy favorite chords 1 5 10 I think he said..

This tutorial is perfect. The transparency in how he works. Inspiring in itself, showing that music isn't a one take wonder. Love it.

One of Cubase's most amazing features is retrospective record so when you forget what you play (which I do a lot when I'm in the zone), you can just call it up because cubase records all the time without you knowing :). I find sometimes as soon as the click track goes on, my creativity is hampered by rules.

Love his transparency!! Thank you.

"What did I play?" Retrospective Record! Just use it after you play it the first time. :)

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for showing us the ways!

this is not "how to write music" this is "how i write music with my playing skill" :D still fun and inspiring to watch :) thanks!

Thanks for the video Guy, you are the absolute best. I learn so much from your videos, and your always positive, upbeat attitude makes them always a treat to watch.

Thank you Guy. I'm really enjoying these.

Love it - there you go that's it lovely!

Thank you SO much Guy! This was SO helpful - so glad I came across this!! This session has confirmed to me that I am on the right track as an emerging film composer! You are awesome and I look forward to continued study with you!

Wow - thank you so much for showing!!!

Thank you so much for your work!!!! This helps a lot!!!

thanks for sharing this stunning piece of very informative & yet emotional tutorial.

loved watching this process. thanks for sharing!

Guy, your videos are both incredibly informative and pure comedy gold. Keep up the great work!

sounded almost Lydian... You are always so much fun to watch! Thank you!

Thank you so musch! Very inspirational!

Thank you very much! Loved it!

Awesome. So glad I found this channel

Thanks again Guy for a great peek into composing step by step. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now and they have helped me a great deal. All the best to you!

Still my favorite harp too! Using the First Edition Performance patches even (tho without the ancient tool these days.) Those gliss variations just have such an appealing sound and texture.

This content is pure gold and such a fun engaging gentleman. Thank you so much!

The libraries you use sound absolutely gorgeous. Great quality.

I V X in the left hand is sooo nice. Something I will borrow for sure. Thank you!

You are such an inspiring chap, thank you so much for doing these videos. Not only do I learn something with each one, but they make me smile, and this year it's important to keep doing that. Much respect, Guy.

Absolutely bonkers, this is THE video I’ve needed... how to START and where to go. ANNNNND, you did it in Cubase and I always learn something new. Thank you Guy! All the way from Arizona.

i feel so happy when my thoughts align with guy's

I got a lot out of this Thanks for your whimsical Whimsey form the start to the finish That's Great

Your simplicity and humility (and sense of humour too) makes this delightful to watch. And your composing chops are great too! Thank you for sharing. Cheers from Argentina.

Thank you for your great videos, Guy!

Thanks a lot Guy. Enjoyed watching!

It’s such a great moment when you find a teacher that resonates with you. That moment is now. Thank you!

Thank you, such an inspiring tutorial.

Honest tutorial! 💕

“What you’re always fighting is the power of all the stuff you do instinctively without thinking. Which is great the first time around, and gets less and less great every time you do it.” So true. Thanks Guy!

I love what you have created! It makes me feel so relaxed!

BLESS YOU! 😁🙏 (currently trying to pull together a piece of score for final project of my MIDI class.😆) JUST WHAT I NEEDED! 🥰

I'm doing my GCSE composition work at the moment. I had no idea where to begin with composition and this video really helped!

Your video examples are always extremely helpful/ educational.

Thank you for the great tutorial

stumbled across your channel earlier and i must say, its refreshing to get a real-time view of the creative process!!! it often feels like all my other "music theory" searches have been just what a C note is and how many white/black keys there are on a keyboard. like sure, i'd love to understand my chords and scales better, but those videos just leave me feeling inadequate and i go back to just dragging notes around until they sound good. seeing the live process of introducing instruments and maybe only using them for just a slight flourish is really enlightening. previously, i've concentrated on trying to use each instrument i add as much as possible... you've really shown me how its OKAY to add a section JUST for one tiny addition!

I love the idea of committing to a structure and then writing to it. What a great way to stay focused.

Thank you for the 1 5 10 inversion. Not being a piano player, that was a beautiful find.

Simply Wonderful!

Guy, I find your videos very inspiring. Well done production value (takes a lot of time I know) with a fair amount of humor mixed in. On occasion you’ve had me laugh out loud waking my wife up late at night. As a long-time guitar player / singer songwriter. you’re stretching me to develop my chops on the key board. So much thanks to you. Will

Always a pleasure to visit you

To be honest that was exactly what I was looking for! Big thanks 👍

30 seconds in and I already love your personality.

Wonderful video, thanks for this, fascinating to see the creative process at work. There's a temptation to think that composers such as yourself, simply sit down and simply play it straight off the bat. It's great to see that it's a process, try a chord, find another chord that sits with it and work your way through it. For me, a self-taught dabbler, this is hugely motivating, thank you!

Inspiring. Cheers.

17:35 'We're going to load up a harp!!!!!' Fantastic video Guy, thanks for being so honest and thorough in sharing your working practices - I've learned so much from this channel

Genius...brilliant...very impressive! Thank you!

This piece made me cry, Guy. You're the best! ;-;

Amazing ,,,This music took me into someone else's world😊👌👍🌹

Really fascinating... creating art and sounds great too.

I love this. I haven't yet scored for anything but the music I create and release follows this flow therefore a lot of my music is "cinematic". Thank you for your brilliant content which inspires me to keep creating and I want to point out how much I admire your playful attitude 🎉😊

Awesome tutorial beautiful very exciting live example of composing very talented musician composer and Teacher

I don't know a damn thing about music theory, but I am absolutely loving watching you build these song bits. I have learned from you how to take the ideas in my head and transfer them to shareable medium. I find that my ignorance of music theory has not stopped me from doing this. Such a relief to be able to get these bits from my brain into a DAW and clear some much need CPU space in my head. I already had most of the sound libraries that you use in Kontakt, but no way to actually play them until I found a decent MIDI convertor for my guitar. I have a keyboard but it mostly serves as a drink coaster and ashtray space as I cannot play it....at all....not even a little, except to test sounds in the libraries. Your videos have enabled me to a huge degree. THANK YOU! I have a renewed love of music thanks to you.

I never thought I would have been so keen on learning orchestral music until I found your channel. I'm a pig in mud at the moment. It's challenging but soooo satisfying.

Wow Sir! I find this very very inspiring and interesting! In fact I’m already make my music in quite similar way but when I listen to you, discussing with your self about the chord progression and so on I feel like I’m developing my own creativity as well. So, thank you so very much for doing this and you’re kindness to share it. 👍🎵🎶🎹🎺🙏

Stumbled across this randomly. What a great video, really interesting, fun and engaging 👍

Bloody marvelous!

Awesome video thank you! Beautiful piece ...I subbed

well done ,thanks

You are the guy, Guy!

You have a beautiful musical mind!

Thank you very much,sir.

Wow that was powerful!

Congratulations for the competent tutorial on piano, am learning a lot from it, keep it up

💐 blossom in my heart with your nice & valuable tutorial . Mr. Guy michelmore, i Thank You So Much...! 👏👏👏

Guy, don't let this go to your head, but you are positively brilliant! One of these days could you give us supplicants here a bio of your musical training and past experience in music? Thanks for the inspiration and your generous teaching!

Brilliant, once again Guy. I too find "step Record" an incredibly valuable tool. Especially since I have to turn around a trailer in 2-3 days. And I liked your voicing of the chords and harmonies. It will also help me to move past muscle memory. :-O Cheers.

Excelente maestro

You make it look so easy Sir.

Got damet, I love your "edited live streams" !

You are authentic and sincerely. All the videos that I saw from others composers are so ready composed and they say that was spontaneous. I was wondering am I so untalented, why I have difficulties..you saw the right process..

Guy, you are amazing guy! I watched like half of the video and was inspired by the sound of harp and started my own track. I used an old VSL Harp, it sounds amazing! And I tried arpeggio. And it worked! 3.5 hours and it's almost finished. Thank you for your neverending inspiration and positive vibes

WoW! Thank you!

Great video, sincere thanks!!

Haha..the bassoon! My sis won the semifinals of the BBC young Musician of the year on her bassoon on in the year Freddy kempf won with his Rachmaninov…who said the bassoon wasn’t anything more than just an orchestral instrument…love the bassoon!! It’s just such a beautiful instrument!

Musical genius, enough said!

Great piece!
