    In this tutorial you're going to learn the fundamentals of creating interesting melodies. We'll start from going over the basics of harmony (for both melodies and chords), and we'll analyze the chord progression in our track. After introducing the concept of tension notes, we'll use it to create three types of melodies (in 3 levels) - from basic, through more advanced patterns, all the way to syncopated rhythmic melodies in the Lydian mode. Let's get started!

    This is the only tip you need: if it sounds good, it is good.
    There have been plenty of pros who’ve used simple midi patterns before. It doesn’t matter how complex it looks; it matters how good it sounds.

    • @Ex0rz
      @Ex0rz 2 роки тому +8

      But knowing some basic theory etc. helps you achieve that good sound faster. Ill much rather do a good sounding melody in minutes than spend an hour trying to figure out a good melody. If you know the theory behind good melodies, you can make them much easier/faster.

      @@Ex0rz also, I’m not advocating for simplicity. I’m warning against over-complexity. Furthermore, the thumbnail in this video suggest that it’s ‘beginner’ and less advanced to use simple midi patterns, which just isn’t the case.

    By using an F#, you just make the root key a G major. Which is the root chord of those playing in the background.

      I know this is 3 months late, but he's using an instrument rack. You're able to put multiple instruments in the same rack. He then switches between instruments in the rack.

    option for chords are just in ableton 11 or 10 have it too ?

  • @udderhippo
    @udderhippo 2 роки тому +26

    These aren't melodies, they're ostinatos. There's no phrase. Phrases are like the most fundamental thing about melody.
    Almost all the greatest melodies are written as a strong idea standalone, not just picking notes out of a chord sequence.
    There's a reason top-line writer is dedicated job in the pop world.
    Generally, chords support the melody, not the other way round. Not all music needs to be melodic, but I feel a click bait "pro melody" thumbnail needs calling out to avoid misleading beginners.

      I agree with you, however, maybe your standards for this video were too high. In the intro Boris states that the concepts and execution are meant for "Getting started with making melodies" in Ableton..

      @@BigKaTrob my standards are fairly low on youtube generally. My main gripe is calling any of this "pro" melody writing.
      He may well be a pro youtuber, but definitely not a pro musician or music educator.
      I don't have much empathy for youtubers making "content"/clickbait that presents itself as pro/expert knowledge.

    Nothing was a melody, everything were chord arpegios, a melody Is much complex than just put arpegios, even if you do level 1 a melody Is'nt an arpegio.
