Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys is considered one of the greatest albums ever. But what makes this album so great, and how did Brian Wilson create Pet Sounds?

In this video, I explore the topic of musicality and musicianship and consider how Brian Wilson created an album that perfectly reflects what it means to be a musician.

This video was made as the first homework from Ali Abdaal’s PTYA course. Ali kindly invited me to take his YouTube course and the first video we had to make was on something that we love, so I chose to make a video about Pet Sounds. This turned out to be a very important video because it was the first time I made a video about music that people actually enjoy, rather than talking about classical guitar technique or music theory. So yeah, it turned out to be an important video for this channel. It was also nominated for best video of the week on the PTYA course so it was nice to get some recognition for the videos I was making because at the time I had less than 700 subscribers and was getting barely any videos. Thanks, Ali!
