    Tip : try to keep the melody on the notes of chord for like 70-80% of time and try passing notes for a bit change .

      Chord tones alone get kind of boring. It's the notes between that add the flavor!

    I come from Rock, Blues and Jazz background. I got interested in electronic lately, particularly Synthwave and Chiptune Rock, and I have to say that I have the polar opposite problem: I have the tendency to do very complexes melodies all the time. Someone looks the other way around, and I just appear with a 3-minute keyboard solo or something. Fact is, simplicity and silence are part of the music too, and that is something I'm particularly trying to add in my more recent songs.

    I always use this method also while doing some funky random notes that sounds good. Some of my songs also switch through keys rapidly. They're really cool. 13Js on soundcloud btw.
