This video is a guided tutorial through writing and producing a lofi hiphop beat to study chill or smoke to. I say it's jazzy cause it has saxophone and some extended chords :P It actually can be thought of as 33/32 though I wouldn't notate it like that - you'll hear how and why it came together that way as the song progresses.
Special thanks to my Patreon subscribers, they are my favorite people on the whole planet and this video wouldn't exist without them. Additional thanks goes to Mike Muggli (Moog Lee) for his added keyboard line, Mark Kahovec for his Government Subsidized Saxophone, and Jeff Schwertfeger for sending me a bunch of random clips.
