honestly this is the type of video i needed in my life. I've always wanted to make my own arrangements instead of looking at other people's ones. So thanks a bunch for making this video, it's really great advice and I hope to start making my own arrangements
Wooow Leon this is so beautiful and you are my one such as higher of Guitar music I love this development !! proud of you And I like so much this video 😊
I love the polite way he says, bad around two minutes and 53 seconds, that hip-hop is not a good choice to try to make a guitar arrangement because you were just end up "playing one note". it's a very polite way of saying that in many ways hip-hop is not music. It's more, I think, about the incredible artistry of the technicians and the recording engineers, and then if we're lucky, a poet, a real honest to God poet wraps over the top. Do you wanna call that spoken word? That's fine. But I think it's significant that this gentleman is pointing out that there is a definite lack of sonic material to create a song worth listening to.
" I know nothing about chords and nothing about theory". There must be thousands of guitarist learning guitar on You Tube that relate to those woods. Great explanation of understanding the basics of fingerstyle playing.
It's okay that you can't explain it deeply but I REALLY UNDERSTAND IT....u know i just realised that CAPO is the thing that you put in the edge of the guitar I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN LUV IT
I loved you from the first sight bro😂😂♥️ I still not that advanced to make my own arrangment but thank you very much for making this video it really helps♥️♥️
This is so cool..I don't play guitar yet..but this is so interesting to watch..I love ur sit down vids..i love ur covers too..Haha..u are so cute..hope u are doing great..I love u Alex..take care♥️
Super Video, vielen Dank! Ich spiele mitlerweile auch schon an die 12 Jahre Gitarre und so wie du, hab auch ich irgendwann Sungha Jung gefunden und einige seiner Cover versucht. Allerdings passen die von Peter Gergely oder dir (verfolge dich ja nun auch schon seit "Stay" wenn ich mich recht erinnere)besser zu mir, da Sunghas oft sehr schwierig sind ehrlich gesagt :D Wie auch immer, ich wollte/will auch schon immer meine eigenen Cover machen, aber ich glaube nicht, dass ich die Akkorde raushören könnte, hast du vielleicht noch einem expliziten Tipp, wie ich das üben könnte?:)
Yannik Lu Hast du’s denn schonmal versucht? Man stellt sich das immer so schwer vor, aber mit ein bisschen Übung wird man darin immer besser 💁🏻♂️ und wie gesagt, es ist auch keine Schande die Akkorde einfach zu googlen :D
@@LeonAlexGuitar Ja, ist schon etwas her aber versucht habe ich es schonmal :D Wenn ich anfange sie zu googeln, bekomme ich ja vielleicht noch ein besseres Gefühl dafür, danke auf jeden Fall!:)
Hallöchen, erstmal: Sehr gutes Video. Ich habe mich schon länger mit dem Thema Arrangieren beschäftigt, und dieses Video erklärt so einiges besser als andere! Eine Frage hätte ich: Beispielsweise die Lückenfüller oder die Noten der Melodie, die du spielst. Bist du da sehr genau mit dem Rhythmus, sprich: Zählst du auch den Takt immer mit usw.? Oder macgst du das einfach nach Gefühl ? Ich selbst bekomme oft Probleme dabei, den Takt stetig mitzuzählen, gerade weil in jedem Takt der Rhythmus sich oft verändert bei der Melodie. Wenn du es nach Gefühl machst, wie erstellst du dann Tabs? Vielen Dank für das Video nochmal :D
@@LeonAlexGuitar Danke für die Antwort :) Ich habe es ein wenig ungeschickt ausgedrückt :D der Rhythmus bleibt zwar gleich, aber die Anordnung der Melodienoten verteilt sich mit jedem Takt oft anders innerhalb des Rhythmus. Deshalb habe ich da Probleme mitzuzählen. Also schätze ich, es reicht, sich an die bpm zu orientieren oder einfach nach Gefühl das Timing eines Lieds zu arrangieren. Jedenfalls fällt es mir ohne Metronom oder ständigem Achten aufs Zählen/dem Rhythmus einfacher, etwas zu arrangieren. Ich hoffe, dass ich damit nichts grundsätzlich falsch mache :S korrigiere mich gerne, wenn du das anders siehst!
@@LeonAlexGuitar is it a good practice to use a refrence when beginning? for example if i was arranging a song and i didn't know some parts can i use a reference of someone that has already arranged it?
@@therealdanielfaris Of course. Obviously it’d be preferable to figure out everything on your own, but there’s no harm in drawing some inspiration from others. I still do that now and then
@@LeonAlexGuitar Thank you for replying, It really is a slow process, And It's definitely harder than i thought, I will keep you updated on how i progress with this lol
@@LeonAlexGuitar thanks man but im trying to learn dragon ball super broly main theme song. ive looked up the chords and man they have some weird ass chords and i kinda get scared of them. And there is alot of chords in the song: and i kinda get discourage by it
of course we do need knowledge of scales. Scales make chords (elements of the scale played at the very same time), and scales make melodies (the scale played one note after another in sequence) combine the two elements and you have chords and melody. Now add rhythm and you have music !
it's not true when you say know nothing about theory. you many not have a formal education on theory, but you have definitely taught your self some scales, rhythm, and harmony. naming chords is not necessary. it's only necessary that you know how to make those sounds work musically. i just don't want people to hear you say you don't know theory, and then think that learning theory is a waste of time. musicians should learn as much as they can about music and their instrument.
I’m certainly not saying that learning theory is a waste, however I do think it is not essential. I have never sat down and learned any theory specifically. All I ever did is play and I learned everything I needed along the way
honestly this is the type of video i needed in my life. I've always wanted to make my own arrangements instead of looking at other people's ones. So thanks a bunch for making this video, it's really great advice and I hope to start making my own arrangements
That's awesome! I'm glad I could help!
I’ve only been playing 3 years and been arranging some of the songs i like. Everything you said was right snd its also the way I arrange aswell
FilthySightsNOMAD That’s great :)
I've been playing for about 11 months now I also hope to arrange some song in the future naturally

Arent you guys both german? Weil wenn ja dann schreibt doch auf deutsch😂
"I know nothing about chords or i know nothing about theory" wow that's really inspire me to play guitar

@@jamesoma792 1 years for me
Wooow Leon this is so beautiful and you are my one such as higher of Guitar music I love this development !! proud of you And I like so much this video 😊

SAIDA 2YEON I’m glad I could help :)
@@LeonAlexGuitar yep it REALLY HELPS keep making more VIDEOS!!!!❤
SAIDA 2YEON i don’t know if you know that sarcasm doesn’t work well on paper lol
Made perfect sense, was making this process way to difficult, thanks for sharing your wisdom..
It was helpful . Thank you.
I love how safe and sound was playing in the background .
Great job 👍🏽 very helpful truly thank you for breaking it down for a beginner like myself!
the best video i have seen on fingerstyle arrangement on youtube!! thank you so much for making this!!!
I’m glad you found it to be helpful :)
Best part when u say i just don't know anything about chords and theory 😂😂
Well done Leon! This was helpful and I wish you the best.
Very helpful!!!! Imma try my best.. And thank you
Pe Jo Thanks, I’m glad I could help!
For the fill in the gaps part, just hit random notes, if you like them, keep them, if not drop them
Thanks!!
Thanksss!
Actually i did my own arrangement and it worked! And i heard the method that i used im so amazed that i was doing the right thing😂
That's great :)
I like your explanation
Thanks dude. Your tips are really helpful😊
I loved you from the first sight bro😂😂♥️
I still not that advanced to make my own arrangment but thank you very much for making this video it really helps♥️♥️
thanks man helped a lot
I had no clue abt arranging cuz the other videos on RUclips don't explain it like u did. So thank you and keep up!!!
Glad I could help :)
@@LeonAlexGuitar how long does it take an average guitar player to arrange a song tho?
I can only say how long it takes me to do it 🤷🏼♂️
Well, what if i do melody first and then add some bass notes?
Sybilus Music Like I said, this is just my way of doing it 🤷🏼♂️ You do what works for you :)
@@LeonAlexGuitar Do you know some easy way to find chords by ear?
So helpful thanks so much ❤
Thanks leon 🖤🖤

Ich spiele mitlerweile auch schon an die 12 Jahre Gitarre und so wie du, hab auch ich irgendwann Sungha Jung gefunden und einige seiner Cover versucht.

Would be nice to know what the songs are that are playing in the background.

Mitzählen tu ich nie, das merkt man auch, weil ich häufig nach und nach schneller werde

that was incredible man
Thanks!
thank you that was very helpfull!! :))
Thomas Chodak I’m glad :)
Don’t worry it made a lot of sense to me you explained it good
The guitar in the background is very distracting it sounds really good but I keep switching between his voice and the guitar great vid tho
This helped a lot..thanks a lot
Awesome!
@@LeonAlexGuitar You must also start doing tutorials for your songs Leon!
Manash Protim Gogoi I don’t have the time for that unfortunately
@@LeonAlexGuitar okay
Such a cute teacher 💞
Primrose myrose زهرةالربيع Thanks 😄
Is that "Thankyou next" by Ariana in bg?............very helpful though
coders cafe Yup, it is :)
You feel that Song
This is my first time I am first to comment😊😊😊

😘😘 😘
Rajni Vyas Thanks, hope it helps!
It will help me a lot..😊😊

ive been playing for 7 years and ive never actually sat down and tried to arrange a song so here we go lol
Good luck! It might seem daunting at first, but as always it gets easier with practice

recommend any mics to record the acoustic (for beginners) ? :)
Nico I was using the Nowsonic Guitar Legend mic in the beginning. Decent mic and very cheap.
👌
can i do this for an anime song idk if its to hard for me ?
Sure, it’s basically the same thing for every song
@@LeonAlexGuitar can i even arrrange songs even if i have only playde for 1 year and like 2 months ?
That all depends on how much you practice :)
@@LeonAlexGuitar thanks man but im trying to learn dragon ball super broly main theme song. ive looked up the chords and man they have some weird ass chords and i kinda get scared of them. And there is alot of chords in the song: and i kinda get discourage by it
Lucas Testoni Anime songs are in general a little more difficult than western pop songs. But that’s what makes them fun and interesting to play
Do we need knowledge about scales?
It’s probably helpful, but it’s certainly not necessary.
I don’t know any scales
Thank you so much i watched lots of video about arrangments and i got confused now u made my doubts clear❤️🔥
of course we do need knowledge of scales. Scales make chords (elements of the scale played at the very same time), and scales make melodies (the scale played one note after another in sequence)
combine the two elements and you have chords and melody. Now add rhythm and you have music !
