How To Add Melodies Onto Samples - Music Tutorial
Музыка
In this video, I go over how to use your ear to find the key and chord progression of any sample, as well as how to add counter melodies on top of those samples. This is more of a training exercise so it will take a lot of practice, but once you get it, it will help you out so much. Ear training is very important for all musicians!!!

I mean you just say huhhhh and then press keys. If it’s the first note that’s the root Note so it’s the key. Then listen if it’s happy or sad. Major or minor.

Yeah I've seen that one (great job on it too BTW) I would just also love to see something that explains even more music theory for example, in your chord vid, your chord progression was C, Am, Dm, and G, and when you explained passing chords, you explained that you could jump between C and Am with an Em to spice up the progression. This probably makes sense to a lot of people, but I don't know enough theory to understand why this specific chord fits. Would you be able to explain this, or show me where you learned theory, so that I can have a better understanding of your musical choices? I don't mean to be troublesome, but I am only giving this constructive criticism because you are currently one of the best beatmaking youtubers out there and I want you to be able to master the art of teaching Much love Simon!

@@shadowpumpboi8851 I haven't seen Simon's vid on chords but when speaking diatonically, meaning all chords made from the scale, you're going to run into this pattern (I'll use M for Major and m for minor) M m m M m dim (also a minor) This is also read as I ii iii IV V vi vii* CEG DFA EGB FACE GBD ACE BDF Notice that the 1 chord C and the iii chord Em share 2 notes (E and G). Likewise Chord IV and ii share 2 notes (FA). While you can substitute any chord you like, subbing the 1 and iii or ii and IV are going to be easier because that have a bit in common. I'll let you look at the V and vii* chord your self :) chords 1, 3 and 6 are known as tonic chords chords 2 and 4 = Sub Dominant Theory can be a rabbit hole but fun to learn and comes in handy when analyzing and breaking down music.

For me, the easiest way to memorise scales is to just use them a lot. I have d minor memorised because most of my songs are in it (and also it’s pretty easy)

I know I'm late but, stable chord means when you go to it you can stop and it will feel fine. if you stop at a nonstable chord it feels incomplete. the stable chord in C major is well, C major. in A minor its A minor, In G major its G major, etc.
