I have this problem for sure,,I always write the melody as Im writing the song and then it gets locked in there and then I have a hard time improving upon them
So, after a chord progression, I then La La La vocally over the chord progressions on my phone memos…..when I like it, it gives me +/- syllables that I now can put words too, in verse, chorus, and thats how I write songs….🎉
Just what I needed! I knew my UA-cam scrolling would eventually pay off.
I feel like this video is going to change my life. Abselutely golden tips. So thankful your channel exists! Many many thanks
I learn something every video. Thankyou.
What a great lesson! And I’ve been writing songs for 30 years now. I still got something out of it.
Are you related to Robin Hood, the legend who steals from the rich to give to the poor?
This is the best, most actionable explanation for melody writing i have seen!! Thanks!
I came here to try and understand melody, and now realise i don't understand arpeggios either. 😢
Always something to learn more about!
Very cool suggestions! I'd love to explore using arpeggios for melodies more often!
I truly thank GOD for the work that you a Kippa do. I’m gaining the confidence to start my own channel and you’ve made it clear that I should freely give knowledge. And I will.
Thank you. Excellent lesson.
I can't wait to get started. What a beautifully articulate and inspiring lesson. Thanks!
I had heard musicians referring to using arpeggios for songs, but didn't quite know what they meant. You explained it so clearly - thanks!
Thank you for sharing.
Happy Songwriting!
Great video to start the day with and insight to play with. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the tip, Benny. Seems like a great way to unlock the creativity! See you soon at the songwriting Q & A.
Thanks for a great lesson!!
Thank you, good lesson.
Wonderful lesson! Thanks!
Love your lessons. Great work!
Arpeggios are my bane. Ive started many times trying to learn them. Usually, I just start with a chord, hear a melody in my head, figure it out on guitar. Then, let the melody determine my chord progression. Subsequent melodies I guess are in a way, a motif, I construct from the chord that underlies them.
Me too, but triad improv broke me through that
@@sfischer1001 yeah triads are king. I'm sure i have some arpeggio knowledge via triads, but I can't play them across all strings at will
Awesome. Thank you 🙏. Love it
Great video, have recently been focusing on scales but sounds like arpeggios will be a useful new resource for songwriting. Thanks 👍
Great lesson. Clear and simply explained so it's actually accessible to people. Thanks for doing this and keep up the good work.
I would also like to add sing-ability into the steps.
Brilliant lesson. As are all HTWS lessons from Keppie and you.
Awesome lesson. Thank you!
Good lesson, as always!
Well, that was outstanding. Thank you.
wow this was amazing thank you
Great advice thanks 👍
this is excellent!
same, imma lyrics first writer and it always gets me ! i need to match my melody to my lyrics or the opposite (ugh never mind)sometimes it has amelody attached to it and sometimes i have to come up with one thatll fit the stanza i just wrote . but thanks fo the video
Im gonna try this when i write songs from now on
Thank you
can you make a video about how to write good instrumental? your amazing btw! Ive never come accross a channel like this!
Great!
Muito bom mesmo!
Over the rainbow me lembra a novela chocolate com pimenta
Great lesson, hope you don’t end up Hey Sued for using a Beatles song. It’s insane to me that using songs in an educational context is frowned upon by some artists/labels.
