How To Add Melodies Onto Samples - Music Tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2018
- In this video, I go over how to use your ear to find the key and chord progression of any sample, as well as how to add counter melodies on top of those samples. This is more of a training exercise so it will take a lot of practice, but once you get it, it will help you out so much. Ear training is very important for all musicians!!!

Simon probably tunes his guitar by looking at it
Reeo 😂😂😂
hahah this is funny as hell
😭
lol its not that hard XD
Lmao, he should pin this
"Aaahhhhh, yes, this is definitely D sharp minor"
Me: "Aaahhhhh, aaaaaahhhhh, aaaahhh, yes, this is definitely sound"

We
Huuuuunh. Huuuuuuunh. Yup d minor
Me: Huuuuunh. Huuuuunh. Yup I have no idea what I'm doing
I mean you just say huhhhh and then press keys. If it’s the first note that’s the root Note so it’s the key. Then listen if it’s happy or sad. Major or minor.
@@ohhminik9681 why are you repeating what was said in the video? like it would help him understand lmao
😂
THEORY GAWD!
🙏🙏
Amen
could you try doing a "sonder" type beat. look em up. they have great neo soul or deep r and b
my man got the cheat codes
Thats how we get ahead!
You mean he got the cheat chords
Pun 💯

One of the best music theory tuts ive seen! Great job!!
I did not expect to see you here
Thanks for watching man!

Hi Wu🅱️🅱️ix
Hey Yo ce mai faci, bucuresteanule? =)
0:31 That hurt
🤣
thought it was the end of the world I know
Simon u are on another level dude holy!
wauu
0:28 this guy just taught a programmer how to rename multiple files 😂
Well, a programmer doesn't have to know this necessarily. You can do the same on cmd
ren +.+ newname.+
(Using + instead of * here cause RUclips removes them)
BRO. 😂 I'm a programmer too, Java, C#, HTML/CSS, SQL, and just now found out that you can bulk name files. Simon is the goat. LMAO
I’ve been using windows my entire life and do a lot of creative work on it and also have some programming experience and I still didn’t know that
To the point, clear explanations, multiple examples, great tutorial can’t wait to see more. 👍👌🎶
😀
You should do some theory vids, like the easiest way to memorize scales and chords, as well as how to train your ears
I did a chord one if you haven't seen that
Yeah I've seen that one (great job on it too BTW) I would just also love to see something that explains even more music theory
for example, in your chord vid, your chord progression was C, Am, Dm, and G, and when you explained passing chords, you explained that you could jump between C and Am with an Em to spice up the progression. This probably makes sense to a lot of people, but I don't know enough theory to understand why this specific chord fits. Would you be able to explain this, or show me where you learned theory, so that I can have a better understanding of your musical choices?
I don't mean to be troublesome, but I am only giving this constructive criticism because you are currently one of the best beatmaking youtubers out there and I want you to be able to master the art of teaching
Much love Simon!
The only reason it "fits" is because it sounds good. All you have to do is experiment and try it out
@@shadowpumpboi8851 I haven't seen Simon's vid on chords but when speaking diatonically, meaning all chords made from the scale, you're going to run into this pattern (I'll use M for Major and m for minor)
M
m
m
M
m
dim (also a minor)
This is also read as
I
ii
iii
IV
V
vi
vii*
CEG
DFA
EGB
FACE
GBD
ACE
BDF
Notice that the 1 chord C and the iii chord Em share 2 notes (E and G). Likewise Chord IV and ii share 2 notes (FA). While you can substitute any chord you like, subbing the 1 and iii or ii and IV are going to be easier because that have a bit in common. I'll let you look at the V and vii* chord your self :)
chords 1, 3 and 6 are known as tonic chords
chords 2 and 4 = Sub Dominant
Theory can be a rabbit hole but fun to learn and comes in handy when analyzing and breaking down music.
For me, the easiest way to memorise scales is to just use them a lot. I have d minor memorised because most of my songs are in it (and also it’s pretty easy)
You are truly one of the top music theory educated producers on the internet, I actually started learning music theory a few days ago inspired by your level of knowledge! Keep it up! 👌
Thanks man we got a lot more on the way
Surprisingly clear and to the point video with no bs. That's what tutorials should be. Thanks
Now whenever somebody asks me in my comments how to do this, I’m linking this video.
Seriously bro, you break down everything that most channels don't and always responding to your fans with dope advice. Its producers like you, Ave Mcree, Paul Allen, Nick mira who gives inspiration to many. Much respect
Good list
Dude! 0 dislikes! Thanks for this, it helped me understand, please do more tutorials for beginners
Gotchu
I'm a producer my self and it's not as easy as you make it seem. Great work! learning something new in every video.
I learned piano and saxophone completely by ear and still in this video you were able to teach me more effective methods of detecting pitch. Simon you’re truly amazing
Servida of course like always
Thx for explanations
Best production channel. Good stuff man.
Thanks man!
📢 1:14 *How Do You Determine The Most "Stable" Chord?* Can you go deeper into this please? What makes the 3rd chord in this the MOST STABLE??? Thanks!
I know I'm late but, stable chord means when you go to it you can stop and it will feel fine.
if you stop at a nonstable chord it feels incomplete.
the stable chord in C major is well, C major. in A minor its A minor, In G major its G major, etc.
@@pentabitsmusic I had the same question... Thanks for answering
@@saiyanshh Also, The "music theory" term for this is Tonic chord
@mana drama Yeah.
Okay it’s official, your tutorials are probably some of the most useful videos on RUclips when it comes to contemporary music production
👍👍
You’re videos are explaining the technical thing I’ve been doing all along. That’s sooo cool. But it’s a refresher for me at the same time.
This also shows your growth with production AND the growth of your space. Thank you for all of your videos.
Legend, Thanks for all your videos Simon they really helped me. Keep it going.

Respect! Finally, someone doing a vid on how to actually add melodies to samples. People be making a repetitive loop lol
Super dope bro! 🔥🔥 you have the best tutorials on the Internet!
OMG thanks Simon! That was that one video i didn’t know i was looking for!!
Definition of goat when it comes to beats.
You are an absolute god
Thanks bro!
@@ServidaMusic what's the name of that Melody you're using not the sample but the name of the actual sound
Ild love your ears man
Man, you rock. I expected the usual RUclips crap but you really took the stress out of this overwhelming "listening by ear" and "music theory" bulk. Thanks a ton for making this video, youhave a new subscriber!
Respect for sharing real knowledge and useful techniques 💯👏🏿👏🏿
This guy is a genius 😅
Hey Simon, here's a new and different challenge for you: try to make "Brazilian Funk Music"
some MCS: Mc Theuzyn, Mc Livinho, Mc Pedrinho and Jerry Smith.
Woow that'd be great to see you trying make it 😂😂😂
it is crazy man, your tuturials are all diferent of all i watched, thannnnk u
Wow!! This video was so amazing! Really interesting way to work with samples! I never thought about it actually! Love your content dude!
Bruh.... I’m gonna watch this video every single day until i perfect this technique.i have a pretty good ear so hopefully I’ll catch on quickly lol
7:06 Simon is so good he made a bassline with the background music without even knowing it was playing
One of the most helpful videos I keep coming back to!
Bro you are so awesome I learned a lot watching your tutorials please keep them up thank you
You could also use wavecandy in flstudio to see where abouts on the keyboard the notes are
Yeah for sure, but I want you guys do develop a good ear, it helps out more in the long run
And I'm here still figuring out what is a minor and major chord.
Hell yeah, just what I needed! Thank ya for spreading the knowledge!
Love your videos man your so complex and right to point 😎
first progression? Dminor, A minor, C major, Emajor?
second progression? ???
HOW DO YOU DO THIS WITH GUITARRRRRR??????????
fr
7:02 it sounded like he was going in scale with the background music 😂
Ahahsh grande fra
I was looking for this comment!
Good stuff. Always excited to come from work to watch your videos
I love how you just explain everything!
Now I believe that he's a wizard. LUL
Music Theory Servida Level
Dude! thank you so much for this tut
This channel is honestly the best I learned all my music stuff from here thank you so much!
every video you get hooked up with something 😂
Do you have a source for free samples like this?? Normally free samples are mostly drum or vocal, it's hard to find something like this.
And I really don't want to just look up online for samples bcoz they're mostly unofficial
Look for free samples made by producers, thats your best bet
