always a pleasure when you upload new and amazing content for free, thank you.
Glad to help :)
m83 - outro is this progression. takes me back to 2011 which was the best time of my life
The early 2010's were definitely a good Era 👍
Huge content, hats off. Please keep up
Thank you very much :)
Wow, another great video from the Tabletop Composer? What a wonderful day! Thank you so much, this is realy helped.
By the way guys, did you all have some tips for ear copying some pieces of music or transcribing music for study?
I always curious about how to make music with the style of my favorite composer so i thought copying one of their works might helped to understand how the composer made their pieces. But in the process I always had a hard time with analyzing what chords they used, how is the voicing of the chord being written, etc. If you all have some tips for this kind of work it will give me a huge help in my musical journey and I would realy apreciate it.
Sorry for my long-texted question. Hope you all doing well with your work. Bless you!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video so much :)
I don't have much to offer for transcribing music, but something that has helped in the past are to focus on just one line at a time. Break the piece you want to transcribe into sections/chunks and focus on transcribing them just one line at a time. Try the melody first, then the bassline, then the top harmonic voice, etc. It's slow at first, but just focus on transcribing everything before you try to start analyzing it. Hope this helps!
@@TableTopComposer yo, thanks for your lovely answer! I always burnout in the middle of my study because of my lack of skill but after getting your tips I think with this more simpler and slow approach it will certainly improve my ability bit by bit.
Gotta try it on my music study real quick and wait patiently for your new lesson!
Happy to help! :)
Good stream, thanks
First!....
Thanks for video. It helped me a lot.
I've been reading a book about basic music theory.
But books didn't have sound.
I'm glad you found it helpful :)
Just discovered you channel last week, great content man! Looking forward to digging through some of your other lessons.
Thank you! Glad you found the channel :)
Thanks that was very useful
How would apply this techniques to writing parts for a typical band structure ( 2 guitars, drums bass and vocals ) for rock/pop. Thanks in advance !
counterpoint isn't typically used in genres involving a "typical band structure" but that doesn't mean it can't be useful :)
I'd say that the most common use tends to be for writing counter melodies. For example, the singer might be performing the melody, while the lead guitar plays a secondary melody underneath. You can also use it to create more dynamic basslines. The strategy covered in this video can be useful anytime you want to write two or more "melodic" layers in your music, and want to make sure they don't clash. I hope that helps!
