A YouTube video about Adam Neely’s selective presentation on classical musicians’ rhythm, bullying of Adam Ragusea and subsequent failure to retract his fallacious claims, and potential plagiarism of Sideways.

    Good take. My knowledge of music theory barely runs beyond what I am interested in as a composer (have forgotten so much, of course) so I don’t really have a good way to judge his other theory videos.

    The tritone video was one that I was thinking of that I liked and then also his anti-432 video. After that, I am realizing that I don’t really watch many of his videos. Very few, actually, so who knows what gems I’m missing out on.

    He basically makes undergraduate research essays with a budget. And people pay him for it and take it for gospel.

    That’s definitely a problem. I think he does try to be accurate but when he messes up he doesn’t handle it well.
