This the first time I have ever understood someone explaining how to write chords and melodies! Thank you
Same
the idea of making music is stuck in my head for months, and i got so much anxiety because i didn't knew where to start, it looked so hard and not for common folk like me lmao
i just want to cry because in a few minutes thanks to you i made what i couldn't do in weeks, thank you so much
You remove all the intimidation out of trying to make music. Inspiring!
I love your vibe man! Just found you today and I can’t stop watching. You make things so much more simple than others that try to explain things. Much appreciated!

True bro
Ah, where have this channel been this entire time 😭😭
Gotta be honest after you mentioned "helping thousands of students" I figured this was going to be a bunch of clickbait BS but was shocked to find that you then gave us ACTUAL PRACTICAL TANGIBLE tips on making music! Thank you for surprising me!
(Two year later edit:) After watching this video and posting this comment, I started on my first song, hardly can believe it's already been so long but I spent a year on it before publishing it. Despite knowing that the chances of it ever reaching a significant audience were miniscule, I absolutely don't regret the learning experience of creating a song by ear, and trying to make it sound as realistic as possible. It's inspired by the 70's and 80's progressive epics that molded my tastes, bands like Pink Floyd and Rush. If anyone wants to hear it, it starts a bit slow but grows in intensity and complexity until the end: czcams.com/video/7S7SuOwiBhI/video.html
same here, i guess its just my trust issues tho.
@Official it’s all of the people who say that and then don’t help at all haha
He doesn't have to boast does he. Compared to all these scam advertisers that interrupt your viewing on CZcams
Was surprised too.
Earned my Sub click and i wanna see his content going backwards and if im happy, I'll buy his pack.
Almost left video after that
Over 30 years producing, writing and playing- and this was a great video. The fundamentals of current music dropped here were nice and easily digestible. Clearly, being more creative will be more interesting, but starting here is a great place to build from.
This is genuinely one of, if not the best tutorials for beginners out there. Thanks Alex :D
Honestly Alex i love your tutorials. They are very short and straight to the point. Thanks for everything!!!!
i have watched about 30-40hrs of other music production tutorials until i found your channel yesterday and subscribed straight away. This video has taught me more about making chords a tune and a bassline to start off music then any of the other 40hrs of content and tutorials I have watched. Thankyou so much and please keep up the amazing content whilst I browse and watch every one of your videos I can!
This is the most well put together tutorial/demo I have ever seen. The understanding you have of your craft shows in your teaching style. You have done what many struggle to do when teaching, removing the intimidation of the process.
Honestly, this should be your most viewed video, I have watched this at least 7 times and you have shown that I and others can do it.
I'm not into EDM but you've given me new insight and ideas. Thanks for the inspiration.
Milton Kendrick that’s awesome man thanks
I found your channel accidentally and when you said it was possible to create music without previous musical knowledge (which is my case) I was not very convinced (English is not my home language) until I followed your tutorial and it was great!
Thank you for showing me the beginning.
Good luck with the channel and you already have a new subscriber.
I'm a longtime subscriber and this video still blew my mind. I knew of chord counting as a technique, but I never really have dived into it and definitely have no music theory. I would just pick notes and keep them close to each other until I found something that worked. But this is way faster, and the fact that you can transpose them to any key is what really excites me! Lack of music theory has been kinda killing the fun I feel when producing music, but now it's back full swing and I can't wait to start making music again! Thanks bro!
Also I really need to jump on the Splice train lol. Soooo convenient.
*you put a lot into a short time without feeling rushed, impressive dude.*
This is soooo great, so great explained and it looks so easy when you do it so quickly. When I do the same, it takes ages (started to produce a few months ago from zero) but learning more and more.
Dude, you make me feel little more hopeful and better in music production, thank you so much for this. I just subbed to you today, great work and keep it up! ^_^
I gotta say, ive been messing with making music for a while and you defenitely have the most clear and useful tutorials that ive found, keep up the great work👌
I just wanna say thank you for sharing this video. I’m new to music and have never been able to get past melodies and lyrics. Chords have always been a huge struggle and I’ve never understood production. This video has helped me SOOO much. Thank you thank you thank you! I feel one step closer to becoming an artist! ❤️
Alex, I love this video and others that you've pup up here in CZcams. Really appreciate all that you do for the music community.
Like, I could have done this a thousand times already but I was stressed about life in general and I couldn't do shit . Now you brought me back to the light !!!
Why didn’t I know it was this easy 😭
Also thank you for making this video, it’s an absolute blessing
Definitely one of the best tutorials out there! So easy and straightforward! Thank you very much, Alex!
Thank you for posting this! At the end I was on the verge of tears seeing what those initial sounds were composed into.
This is hands down the best video for anyone with no knowledge and getting started!! Thanks a lot Alex. ✨
here i am two years in production and still love this video!
I still need to watch it again I think, he did not really say you need to stay between these keys? I need to check it again I guess
Thank you I was so lost and needed this. You have put the hope back into me.
you honestly helped me so much, I’ve been watching like a lot of your videos and I’m getting better and better thank you so much💜💜
My dude you just earned a sub, been looking for this video for years now, the chords were the hardest part for me, thank you so much, will share some music when im settled in!
You rock!!! Everything you said was straight to the point and helpful. Your video definitely gave me some confidence to try making music! Much obliged good sir, keep doin what you do!
Wow! I love that positivity of yours! You make me feel like music is all about fun and that I shouldn't be afraid of trying! Thanks man!
I have absolutely no music knowledge at all although I enjoy "trying" to make music. Your direction and language was so easy to follow along with and understand. I'm definitely subscribing
I struggle with theory I love to create music but cannot play your vis really got me back going again thank you so much
Brilliant Alex, so inspiring !!!
Martin Zero awesome to hear (:
As someone who recently has become interested in dabbling in music production, specifically EDM style music, this video had been VERY helpful to me!!! I was in choir in HD but never took music theory, let alone play a piano (that wasn't goofing around), thank you for this information! The end result was dope top and so simple
I really struggle with the keyboard as I'm firstly a guitar player but, this video has just changed my production and outlook entirely.....I can't thank you enough....its opened my musical world wide open.....thank you.
Thanks for the info on how to make chords most producers on CZcams are not giving up that type of game
Awesome! All of the other tutorials i tried to follow were way too vague, yours actually thought me how to make it in a simple, easy to follow manner. Thanks for helping me out!
This was very inspiring! It's just exactly what I was looking for! I'm into photography and trying videography, and this is where I have to learn sound design and how music is being created overall. And thanks to your video, it is no longer intimidating, and I found my starting point!
Just found this channel. Im loving it. Thank you!
FINALLY a chord tutorial I can understand 🤦♂️😂 THANK U🙏🙏
Dude this is the best video I’ve ever found about producing music! Everything else has been li d if confusing or required previous musical experience but you broke it down so easy it encouraged me to try again! Thank you for this video!
Wow, this is really helpful, thanks. I needed to know this weeks ago. The most useful vid I have watched so far
I legitimately started smiling because I only knew a little about music theory, but youve made it so so so much easier dude!
great video man thank you for the upload. you're the truth! liked and subbed.. i've been in the private events industry for 4 years, i have 1 year experience of djing, and i have a life time of beats in my head that you're helping unfold.. thanks again brother!
EPIC! You make it look so easy I was really happy about that, impressed and both compelled to just keep doing the same. Its about having fun with the tracks and enjoying what we do. Much love thanks for sharing!
That was very informative and very easily digested. Good job.
very good explanation, followed really easily. you are very clear and understandable and move at a reasonable pace. most other videos are too cluttered and hard to follow/understand. thanks for the intro!
This is the most I've learned from any youtube video about learning how to make chords and music!
Awesome!!! Especially the way you break it down so even someone with absolutely 0 knowledge in music understands it.
Bruh your the only person ive seen on CZcamsthat actually go and teach piece by piece
. Thank you brother.. Your awesome💯.. Keep up the good work.. Blessing coming your way
I just finished watching this video! You inspire me so much! I Subscribed! I Love how You said that you have all we need to learn how to produce music, and you were actually honest about it! ❤
Great job bro. I've watched lots of guys but you're very special. This is exactly what a beginner needs... Thanks...💯♥️
Incredible video man, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you Alex! My mistake was to picking up the sounds and instruments before having a clear chord, melody and bass' lines! this video helped me understand everything!
This is the only damn tutorial on CZcams that's actually broke things down this simple and made sense. Thanks man that really helped! :)
I keep coming back to this video when I'm too in my head. The absolute best video for production without samples
Now I know what I will try this evening. I watched many videos like "how to create melodies" but I was not really able to create a usefull melody. This video was easy to understand and gives me the hope that I can do this also... haha... thanks for that!
Really help me, thanks alot!! Been in band for years, and have some ideas, but just don't know Music Theory very well and actually how to execute it properly. Really good video!!!
I feel like I just made THAT track. Thank you
After all these years of falling in and out of making music, this vid just gave me a kick to do it again omg... Thank you so much
I’m producing with ableton and I learned a lot from this video
Worth the 20:53 minute of my time, to watch and actually understand things! Thank you Alex!
my best comments - thank you, this really was helpful, liked & subbed
I really enjoy watching ur tutorial. Explanation superb. Great tutor for beginners
you get a sub
you actually got me to understand how stuff works
everyone else goes on too much explanations and little demonstrations
you explained, demonstrated and made a sample soundtrack.
Best video yet. Love it. Thank you. Happy holidays
Thank you so much for your edvice and your help !
When I first found your channel I defaulted to cynicism. But I'm glad I listened through this one. I'm not really a fan of EDM, but it's clear as day that you're a genuine guy and I love that your love for making music... and teaching/demystifying the process of music-making... is your fundamental message.
I quit playing guitar and piano after many, many years of practice, because I found that delving too far deep into music theory and always trying to improve technique sucked all the fun out of it. Thanks for reminding me (and others, probably!) that underneath all of that pressure, we first start making music to communicate FEELING.. and that its important to have FUN WITH IT!
Great musician and a great teacher.
thanks I appreciate that (:
Thank you so much Alex you have a superpower of simplifying music theory.
Awesome tutorial ..im soaking your wisdom up like a sponge ..thanks so much
What can I say? WOW man!!!
This is awesome!
Being an EDM lover, I enjoyed this so much.
I’m definitely going to give it a try.
Thank you very much!
Dude! I love you bro! This is exactly what I needed today! The cosmos brought me your videos today for a reason. Thank you so much. I appreciate you and all you do.
Hey man, i really loved how you continued and showed us how to make a beat with the knowledge your just taught. Really makes the lesson hit home. You're AWESOME man!
Incredibly helpful video. Really appreciate what you do!
this video was awesome and more helpful than any other I've seen, as a complete beginner I learned a lot
I learner much more than I've learned in the past year trying to make music. Love this channel.Seriously the moust underrated channel.u deserve at least 2million subscribers.I subbed and liked.Thank you for making such amazing videos :)
Thank you for making this video, you make music production look easy and approachable.
This was one of the most informative videos i've ever seen, i hope you have some techno help in your channel, if not, please make one! The music theory part blew my mind, you're awesome!
Great video Alex. Keeping things simple can be a lot of fun as you displayed here.
Thanks for the Hi-Hat tip. I never thought to look for Hi-Hat loops. That’s a game changer right there. Do you get yours main from Splice?
The bootcamp course has also been amazing. If you’re a struggling producer looking for a fresh perspective to gain new insight into what you love (specifically producing music), you need to get into Alex Rome’s EDM Production Bootcamp. It’s like putting on glasses first thing in the morning. ...clear.
Excellent video, wish they had shown me this when I was at Uni,
Using FL Studio 20 and I learned more from this tutorial than an actual FL Studio video xD Thank you so much! My journey continues!
this is the only guy I actually learn from and I hope you see this man cause iv been looking for someone who just simplifies stuff like this
Superb video. I learnt so much in these 21 mins, which I didn't know forever in the past. Cheers Al!!
Man, I got my Akai yesterday, haven't done ANY musicproduction in YEARS, all my energy and confidens just went out from me when I started to play around ... But this video, THANK YOU! I'm ready now hahha !
That was easy to understand, love your enthusiasm. Thank you!
Thanks for the video ! Amazing trick and explanation 🔥generally music theory puts my brain out 🤪🤯
dude, love ur approach....thank you!
if i go to heaven i will invite u
Wow, from where you landed here. Damn great is your work. I pretty sure I have been searching videos like this. And you are here. Thanks for your great work.
This is amazing stuff, man! ❤🙏
Perfect teaching, you are the best bro. I have learnt a lot from you. I am so glad I watched your video. Thank you so much.
You are so much easier to follow as a beginner. Non of the fancy vernacular and sh*t. thank you!!
Hey buddy, I use FL Studio but I find your tips and tricks effing brilliant...the way you explain things makes it so easy to understand and I'm able to use it 101 in FL studio. Big thumbs up bro...by the way I think your furry baby back there needs some attention! ;-)
Such a brilliant vid bro 🔥🔥🔥
One that was missing on CZcams
I’m a noob, so I also wonder what’s the difference in
making songs for different genres,
Your steps must be the same cause every song consists
Of chords and a melody, so where the point where you decide
about the genre of your song in these steps of yours?
Or is it just the drums and sound selection?
So for a hip hop song use a trap drum kit and you have it?
Or can you say that when you used the arpeggiator, that was
the moment when it turned to a EDM/ House track.
Or is it about scales bro I don’t get this.
A vid for the different genres would be mind blowing.
Greetings man
DAMN. THIS IS THE MOST INFORMATIVE VIDEO ABOUT PRODUCTION I'VE WATCHED
this is awesome!! our teacher gave us an assignment to make a 1 minute composition. but this is in an animation major and I’ve never studied anything about music, really xD your video helped me with this homework!! thank you!!
4 weeks ago i installed Fl studio and i only look at it . And still i am thinking of my first steps.. in FL
Youre the first one on youtube that opend up my eyes!! thanks so much!
To be Honest... This is the "BEST" Tutorial that I've watch so Far. I'm a big Fan of you Sir. This is really helpful for us Teenager Producer that has no Music Theory. Once again, this is a very helpful tutorial. I just subscriber your CZcams Channel BTW. 😅💕
