But it's weird. He was quoted as saying he used the pentatonic structure (which I know nothing about), but then when showed some notes he says:

"I'm not comfortable"

That would be like me saying "I wrote this movie, but I wanted to take the 4 act structure and do it in reverse". The someone asks "Tell me what the 4 act structure is?" and my answer is:

:usure: "I'm not comfortable"

Plus, wasn't he in band with Chad in school? Or they went to a school for gifted musicians or something. That's where they met, right?

I don't doubt his talents, and he probably is a genius, but you'd think 20+ years in the business, and throwing around shyt like "pentatonic structure" would allow you to identify one note on a piece of paper, no?
Maybe he didn't want to get into it about notes and stuff because the lawyer was setting up a trap. Not like he was asking these questions just for the hell of it, they were lead up questions to something else. Pharrell avoided answering questions about notes/structure of blurred lines and simiarities with got to give it up, so he just answered I'm not comfortable.

People like him aren't usually called out in this fashion especially given the fact that with his body of work people naturally assume he knows what he's talking about.
the lawyer thought he was talking to fukking quincy jones :heh:

Bingo.

He knows what he's doing, but he probably doesn't know 100% what he's saying or how to explain it.

Must be a tough spot to be in.

Especially when you straight up jack Marvin Gaye and have to explain your way out of it :lolbron:

this is also true.

If he admits that he can read the music, then he'll have to cop to in fact, theft.

But he did admit he can read music, he just refused to identify one note.

Pharrell: "I can read Spanish"

Lawyer: "What does this word mean?"

*Shows Pharell the word 'hola'*

Pharrell:

:stopitslime:

:ehh:

:beli:

:francis:

:martin:

"I'm not comfortable"
