Production Tutorial: Writing chord progressions & melodies
🕑 Added 2021-02-23 12:42:13 +0000 UTCIn this video we dive deeper into the world of harmony, looking at some of the ways we write chord progressions and melodies.
In the second half of the video (25.22 onwards) we put these concepts into practice in a short demonstration.

This was really interesting to see where one idea might lead to whole track. It's also interesting to notice how jazzy chords and complex harmony really isn't this far ways from us as we think it is. This video has thought me that so long as you play within a scale you can kinda figure out all the jazzy/funky chords just by playing around the piano by ear. Great tutorial!

loved this one! Wondering which Kontakt instrument was used for the bass line in the demonstration? Also as a none Kontakt owner would love any recommendations on bass vsts that are similar to the one used! thanks guys you're both awesome (:

Yes that's right. The bass note is A but the chord on top can be thought of as a Gmaj9, Bmin7 or even D. Lots of ways to interpret it!

around 16 min in you discuss the switch from Gm to G major (during build)but then in the chords demonstrated with the full bass notes it appears to be a D/A chord as the second chord for the build. Gm,D/A,BbM7,Cadd9 or C6add9..couldn't tell. Not sure which you meant to say is in the build. Pretty chords nonetheless.....

Thanks for that...It's great to see producers with a musicians mind set. Would love to see some info on how you design/create/mix bass sounds such as out of Kontakt with the more complex synth bass/subs. This may be in another video as I haven't worked my way through all of them yet.

That one fried my head a bit, as a guitar player I definitely need to expand my knowledge to the keys!
