- Wanna learn how to create catchier melodies and chord progressions without wasting years learning music theory? Then click this link to get my new online course Pro Level Beats now! www.prolevelbeats.com/special...
In this video, I teach you guys how to put chords under your melody. There are a lot of different methods but I find this one easy if you are a beginner with little knowledge in music theory. But you should have an understanding of scales and keys before you tackle this. Let me know what tutorial you want me to to see next!

How do you feel about hosting an audience beat review?
the thing I really appreciate in your videos is that you say out loud what you think and why you do what you do! i really feel that you know what you talk about :)
do you have any lessons on mixing??
Thomas L beat mixing and if possible vocal mixing too on fl studio
Thomas L Yes something of that nature.. the essentials to make a beat or vocal presentable as possible
A little theory goes a long way. Too many YT tutorials are just "throw some notes on this ghost channel scale and see what sounds good." You don't really learn anything from doing that.
That's what I'm for!
❤️❤️❤️
You would really hate my scale tutorial...or maybe you wouldn't...
@@Inflightmuzik I'll peep it
I would go by the # system/scale degree..example
C D E F G A B C = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Major chord 1-3-5
Minor 1-b3-5 C -Eb-G
Also b = Flat
Simple
Works in every key as well...That wasnt to hard
honestly this was so much easier to understand than doing the melody over chords
facts
Hahah forreal forreal .
@Ashwin AK its shit
@Ashwin AK ON THE DEAD HOMIES!!!!!!
Yo dad D’angelo?
Damn I watched this when I started producing and did not learn anything, watched it again after some experience with writing melodies over chords, and now I totally get it
When I was in high school the teachers were trying really hard teaching Music, Now I'm learning it from here
He is sharing his idea to teach us
instead of becoming himself a professional artists
We need more guy like him
Yeah I am happy someone is finally more open about this
You're so great!
Thank you

The part about the Thirds Fifths and Sevenths, please make a video about that. It would enhance my understanding about chords.
Agreed 👍
czcams.com/video/5Y01jIorpeA/video.html&t=
this guy has an amazing tutorial for basic chords, 3rds, 5ths and 7ths
also you should watch 12tone if you want to learn some basic music theory and maybe even work your way up to more advanced stuff. Trust me, music theory can open up a whole new world to your music, including awesome chord progressions. This coming from a fellow electronic music producer.

@@KnzoVortex damn its really good thanks for mentioning it man
The 1 dislike is anger with a small spice of hate.
Its always the spicy ones
Why didn't the person just get outta here
@@ServidaMusic dude this was great and extremely helpful but I'm still a lot confused on the harmonics. Like, what notes should I choose to not create dissonance in my chords? How do I know where to put the 7ths and 9ths?
LifeStyleDidIt fr 😂
No the dislikes are from at the beginning explaining how its good to learn to play the piano/melodics etc, but yet he then started to pencil notes in during demonstration.. lol
Wow, this was really helpful. You did this really quickly, didn't get too complicated in explaining the theory (I understand a little bit of theory, but when people use too much of it or start adding in 6, 7, 9, 11, I get a little overwhelmed) and just showed some really solid examples really quickly and briefly! After learning how to do it, I like this method a lot better than trying to do chords and then melody
You are a GODSEND!! I was trying (and failing) to write chords to a melody of a song I’ve had under my belt for a while and you saved me so much frustration I could cry 💕
Wow. So happy I found this video. Other people trying to explain this simply say that you should use the notes in the melody, and they they simply throw in the perfect chord because they know it. But the way you explained it dragging the notes, cutting out extra notes, and trying out all possibilities really helped me get going.
Straight to the point from the start and amazingly well explained. I wish there were more teachers like you, you truly have a gift for it:D
2 seconds in and i've already smashed the like button
You fast guy
Yes Indeed
fast as fucc boiiii
Also, for every note in a melody, there exists a chord containing that note but still retains its feeling. So you can replace every single note in a melody with a corresponding chord and the melody would still feel the same
Well said
can you please elaborate
I freaking loved this tutorial. Melodies are something I struggle with and this helped so much! THANK YOU SIMON!!
bro just came back from my session and I just wanted to say thank you!! I spiced up the back half of my chorus with an arpeggiator made out of the chords and it sounds amazing. It sounds kinda obvious but your method made me realize that hundreds of chords are buried within your melodies and you just gotta dig them up
Fast,informative, sweet and to the point. +10 respect
You are so good bro, thanks for the tips!! 🔥
So far the most informative music theory I've watched. Thank you so much!
OMG I'm a total newbie trying to write a song and was struggling to make something out of all other videos I've watched. But your video is so easy to understand and immediately applicable. Thanks for the good work!
Thank you for taking the time to make this, If you keep it up helping with those details, you will always have content. It's cool to know you're not making this channel just a production or beatmaking channel but you try to cover all of it. Keep it up!
That was my intention when I made it. I'm glad it's coming to fruition
This tip is very helpful.. it will help me alot. Thanks
🔥🔥🔥 A great break down tutorial. I think this is the best I have heard this described! Great vid!!
YO! This is without a doubt the best chord writing tutorial on the web.....you broke it down simple yet effective. Excellent work.....
This is my favorite channel to learn more on how to make music 🎶
wrote you a mail couple days ago and you told me this video will come
and damn it was extremely helpful
would love to see more videos where you explain things
another gem, coupled with real practical advice. Keep up the great work Simon!
This is awesome!! Somehow you helped me not leaving my melody projects just another file in my phone... because I really struggle finding out the right chords to make a song but now thanks to you my melody projects won’t be in vain. Thanks!!!
GOAT of teaching for real
Thank you bro, I'll try to put the melody first instead of the chord. 😂
Fucking related.
Don't matter bruh everybody got an own flow I lay my chords first too makes it easier for me so it's whatever work for you
Murillo Soares yeah fact
@Daniel Brioso it's mostly your choice
I been making beats for YEARS and always have had a light struggle with building chords and this was way to legit. Putting this method to use ASAP.
Awesome Video!! This was really helpful!! Thanks for all the great help 💯
I was looking for something like this for literal months
that last melody could be so West Coast with that diminished chord. Just an idea for a next video... Maybe you could go over typical styles (i.e West Coast, Trap/Edm, Lo-Fi, Latin, etc) and the most common/typical/ well-known drum patterns, chord structures, and melodic concepts behind them?
Ooooo I plan to
Thats what i was thinking sounds like an old snoop dogg type beat
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR! THANK YOUUU SERVIDA!
Best music tutorial ever. Keep it straight to the point like thism. Excellent format.
Bestttt tutorial
Wow, I never thought I could learn so much about music in such a digestible and easy to understand way! 👌💯💪😍
Luv ur tutorials man,fr u are soo talented in your stuff💯Keep it up from Italy vro🌊🎹
This is good for me! I'm actually terrible at music, I'm just learning.
so much dang talent
Man, you just showed a very simple and effective method that I could not find on any Brazilian channel. Thank you for real.🙏🏽😃♥️
I've been looking for this video. So helpful. Thank YOU.
This is actually really helpful! I tend to me okay at making melodies, but the chords always throw me off. Thanks!
No problem
Bro why are you being slept on ? You should have more subscribers than Sharpe. I like your tutorials, they are better than Busy Worka Beats keep up the good work
Thanks alot man
Jose M facts
Bust beat work is piece of shit
Yea being straight up tho your tutorials are way better than busy works !!
Busy works beats intro and how he announces his name is so freaking annoying.
I was hoping the contents of this vid would be the knowledge I was looking for, but wow who knew the Ad would be spot on as well. Melodics is exaactly what I needed, signing up now! great sponsorship choice, marketing team.
I actually learned a lot in this video. Thanks Simon!
Excellent video. How about one on chord placement?
Melodics is a really amazing platform!
Frfr
thank you for such a great video Simon!! we love you
Not once have I followed up on an ad for a product endorsement, but that streak has just been broken. Really appreciate your channel. Keep it up, bro!
THANK YOU
YOUR WELCOME
this is how I make remixes, it's totally foolproof if you have an even halfway decent ear for chord progression
More like this!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥your music theory is effortless. Very well laid out.
Melody is great, I like how you make it instantly with out any samples and the chords explanation is very fast and simple to learn. Earned a like and a Subscriber 🤗
Let’s just ignore the fact the first two notes you place around 4:12 are the first two notes of the vocals for All Star.
Ok
They aren't the first two notes of all star are f# and c#. Or a perfect 5th. The notes there are a perfect sixth
@@lilyyy411 C to G is a perfect 5th.
sorry I was dumb lololol@@JerryLefner
@@lilyyy411 Also there's no such thing as a perfect sixth.
Noti squad, where you at
Thank you for making this video, it has helped me a lot in forming chords with my melody. Thanks again!
Wow dude , ur channel is simple n gives a lot of benifits at the same time , not like other channels it goes directly to the goal , i appreciate it ! Thnx a lot and good luck .
I didn't know Timothy Delaghetto was that talented
Noob question how do you know which ones are passing?
Based on the rhythm, there are strong beats and weak beats. Passing notes are on weak beats
@@ServidaMusic The Strong beat is where the metronome hits hard right? So between any bar
Yessir
That's the general rule, yes, but it's not written in stone. Sometimes chords can be really hard to find with this method alone.
If you're talking about chords it's the note right on top of any of the chord notes.
I love your energy and how you are straight to the point 🥺✨
Your explanation and your energy is overwhelming🙏
i start with the chords then i creat the melody on top of them
Ayy I'm early for once lol
😁
Video explained something I didn't even know the keyword to search for before watching this. Thanks man. Nice approach keep it up. To the point as always.
Amazing video! Learned a lot. Thank you
Me watching this: Looks easy enough *opens daw* nvm
PLEASE MORE TUTORIALS😭😭😭😭😭
You got it!
Thanks ‼️‼️
Keep Doing Your Thing Simon!!!!
Great Songwriting Techniques, And Lovely Video Format!!!!
Thank you that was a very helpful lesson, without any unnecessary bs👍 subscribed!!
It's Ricco again... now my hopes for being a good beatmaker are little better
Attempt uk drill music
Alex Richardz good idea
this video really helped me out! thank you for posting!
Brilliant you made it look so easy , i actually under stood it and can apply it to my music composition
3:03 we’ll just ignore that that’s changes
Foda!
What?
Thank you! Perfectly timed discovery of your video :)
Very good and helpful tutorial, I just learned in huge way how to improve my melodies. thanks Simon
You should make a video on modal interchange
I can, but I dont know how applicable that is for the modern producer
Can you believe this guy? Deleting perfectly good 7ths and 9ths. Remember how the 90s caused a resonance shortage because people used too much resonance on their filters? Now there's gonna be a 9th shortage cause of people throwing away 9ths like this. smh my head.
You need to slow down, some people dont know the difference between major or minor yet. I cant just throw the 9ths and b13s at them yet
i think i have found a man that actually knows stuff. smh
For real though, this was a great video. My workflow usually involves writing chords first, since I can't really imagine original melodies and chords tend to be a little more formulaic (since I can use the circle of fifths as a jumping-off point), but this is nonetheless really informative and useful.
@@robots9146 how do you create chord progression with circle of fifths? I always try to follow the rules of functional harmony
@@augusto7681 it's really simple, you literally just find the tonic on the circle, then it easily shows you the relative major/minor as well as the V chord one step clockwise in the circle, the IV chord 1 step counterclockwise, and the relative major/minor for each on the inside/outside of the circle. Yes, I - V - IV - I chord progressions are a little dull, but you can write them really fast then spice them up afterwards with 7ths, 9ths, suspended chords, and inversions.
Thanks so much bro your videos are so insightful!
This was so helpful. Thank you!
5:00 "we really only have this D"
You rascal
@@ServidaMusic Hahaha 😂 btw these videos helped a lot, I appreciate them so much
1:43 TURN On SUBTITLES 😂
