				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/black-keys-promise-teach-art-music-masterclass-parody-video-2529390">The Black Keys have released their own parody version of the Masterclass Series</a>. Paying subscribers are provided masterclasses by celebrities in their field of speciality. In the Ohio duo&#8217;s new video, they promise to teach &#8220;the art of music&#8221;. The Masterclass series has welcomed famous faces including Timbaland, Gordon Ramsey and Hans Zimmer.</p>
<p>The band discuss everything from the processes of songwriting and recording, to Auerbach&#8217;s comedically boastful presentation of his various, and hugely expensive guitars.</p>
<p>In the trailer, Patrick Carney quips about his drumming background, saying, <em>&#8220;I come from a long line of drummers, and I&#8217;m not talking about the Nick Cannon drum line, although I wish I came from that one too&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;You have to be inspired by what&#8217;s around you, I wrote that song when I was eating caviar with Michael Jordan in Paris,&#8221;</em> Dan Auerbach says, adding, <em>&#8220;He cheats at blackjack&#8221;</em>.</p>

<p>At the end of the trailer, Auerbach quips, &#8220;<em>We wrote Let&#8217;s Rock to prove to the world that we&#8217;re better people than everybody else, not just musically, all around better people, I&#8217;d say we proved them right&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>The &#8216;MasterCourse&#8217; spoof comes soon after the release of their latest album, <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/black-keys-lets-rock-review">&#8216;Let&#8217;s Rock&#8217;</a>, unveiled at the end of last month, awarded three out of five stars on NME.</p>
