How To Make Chords Out Of Any Melody 

thank you so much, I am an aspiring producer and I have always had problems with making chords to fit my melody. Your channel has helped me so so much, thank you so much.

voice leading is a great way to ensure your chords will fit and sound smooth. You can avoid sounding generic by using inversions in the notes which arent leading and by using suspended chords instead of just using the regular chords you can naturally lead to. So in other words you can use a chord that wouldnt normally lead into another by making it or the following chord a suspended minor or major.

Please please make a tutorial on how Headhunterz makes his epic chords in detail. also melodies from chords!!!! 😁😁

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TUTORIAL

Dude.. Holy shit. You literally make a video on every question I ever have about music producing. I'm so glad I found your channel, by FAR my favorite music producing channel. Keep it up yo!

Anyone that can keep up with his pace and the way he "explains" what he is doing in this video does not need this video.

Exactly the kind of tutorial I was looking for. Thanks!

I'm making Western music and I have a melody but no idea how to put chords to it. Your video has changed that so thank you Zen.

Super helpful, thanks! Videos that can help with finding chords for a melody written is much helpful

Thanks a lot!! This was KILLING me, but it's actually so simple!

This melody is in C minor

What you have showed there in this video is what I had always wanted to know. Thank you.

Thanks Zen as always Zen one step closer to my dream career! BIGROOM WILL NEVER DIE

I dont know why, and i didnt even learn music theory.. i am doin it by ear :D

My method is doing the Bass that seems to fit the Lead better, after that, I take the bass notes and kind of convert them into chords...

bro you kill me i swear. that 10 second rhyming session about c's and d's and melo"dy", as you can see lol.

can you so a video about scales and how it affects a mood?

Hi Zen World, I'm late so someone else probably already said this, but what you were describing was not Voice Leading. Voice Leading is the procession throughout a progression involving the least amount of movement. For example going from C major to F major using voice leading would be C, E, G, to C, F, A. Notice how F isn't in the bass. Also, when you were talking about the chords, you would say things like D# when you meant E flat. Although technically by sound they are the same "note", it would be the incorrect enharmonic spelling to say D# in this case. G minor has two flats in it's key, B flat and E flat. I'm not saying this to poke holes or make fun. I truly think you should learn about this concepts since they would be wonderful for aspiring producers to learn on your platform.

Zen my boi you deserve atleast 100k subs :/

Its official I respect this guy...... subbed.

tnx Zen give us more of this as soon is posible tnx again!

Please release the outro Zen!!

are those dark midi notes ghost notes? if so how did you do it in ableton?

You don't think that anyone will be a beginner here, you directly say it is in g minor, but how, you don't explain it, lol

I am doing it by hearing with my ear, no theory! D.

What was that you said about how Avicii does it? I didn't get that.

"my melody starts in the D/ i can also go to the C/ as you guys can see" you should make a song out if this :D

what if i wanted to do the opposite? example making a melody of a chord progression.

outro song?

More of these videos please bro. Great video as always

bambini???

I know you have talked about reverse engineering presets to learn a more methodical way for sound design. It would be great if you could show how to reverse engineer melodies/chords so that we have a more methodical way to make melodies. We would know what makes something catchy. Just what are we looking for in the melodies. I'm not one of those people that can randomly put in midi or "play from the heart" and sound good.

I follow all of your tutorials, and I still don't get how to make edm :( any tips?

I have been officially mind fucked. Lol. Chingon guey :p

Genuine question, how tf can one chord be apart of another like he says around the 6:15 mark ¿

I don't like being called a ninja, why did you choose that name for your audience?
