That. Lots of people seem to have never grown nerve endings in their cochleae. They've been taught by teachers who were taught by teachers who were taught by teachers who were taught by some guy who had to teach kids who had no cochlear nerves so he invented sheet music. Some of these people could sit down at an electric piano and play a piece from a written score, and halfway thru you could unplug the piano and they'd continue, perfectly happy. They see a score as fingering instructions, nothing more, and to them, love is correct fingering. Trust your ears, if it sounds good to you (and you elaborate it well) then it will sound good to other folks

Guy, I am not a musician, or even pretend to be one. I am just fascinated on how your mind works.

Your awesome knowledge is so inspiring to even me who does not understand 1 thing you talk about. I continue to watch in awe. You are truly an artist and you seem to enjoy your craft immensely. Kudos from across the pond!

@thenigglefish2682 Год назад

As someone who does pretend to be one, I'm not that good lol, that exact fascination got me hooked. It got me hooked on writing graffiti as a kid, and making music as an adult. The fact that I can have an idea in my head, that only I can experience, and I can manifest that idea so that other can enjoy it is absolutely fucking bananas. I remember hearing my first real piano riff at work one day, and when I got home I absolutely had to sit down and flesh it out. Shit took hours but eventually I had it. It sucked, but it is absolutely amazing that people can just do that

24:15 to me this illustrates how important instrumentation is to the melody. The horns give the same tune a Completely different feel, and it really comes alive. The same is true with vocals too, I could sing "Shape of You" and it would not be the iconic melody that it is when Ed Sheeran sings it. Melody and instrumentation have to be considered together!

As a composer myself, I can really relate to this amazing video. The way you try bashing some notes, explore interesting ideas, reject boring ones. When people ask me how to write good music, I tell them to not be shy, just try some things. You gotta start somewhere. With practice, you eventually start to see things, which speeds up the process a lot. Great video! Hope it inspires people to just go out there and create music!

@EmmaSchaefer Год назад

Thank you so much for making this video! I've played piano and percussion for over 20 years. I've learned tons about ear training and theory lessons and chord progressions over all that time, and I've made song arrangements, but I never managed to compose anything original. I could never seem to come up with melodies I liked. Your explanation of rhythm and variations on a pattern was a total breakthrough breakthrough for me. "Start with a rhythm" and "make variations on a pattern" seem so obvious in retrospect (especially as a percussionist, heh) but somehow, through all the lessons on theory, rhythm and repetition had never once come up. With that part of composition cracked, everything came together and I've been having so much fun composing little pieces over the last month. Thank you so much for putting the 'obvious' right up front!

@jarirepo1172 2 года назад

Maybe a bit late answer but one nonetheless. Just.. do it. Just keep on doing it. Also, it does not matter if 9 times out of 10 you fail, when you do succeed, it's enough. But you just need to keep on grinding and failing and sometimes you get something good. Just don't get stuck into the times you failed, that just has to happen, even most of the time you try to create something. And when you manage to create something good... nothing has changed. Next time you try, you'll probably still fail most of the time. But still sometimes you make something good.

@PolaOpposite 3 года назад

You write and play what you listen to, practice, and like. But you probably shouldn't blame anyone for your musical education unless they forced you stop listening to music you like. 0nce you know what chords are being playing just by hearing them, you can write what you hear in your head. Discovering melodies and progressions via improvisation (masher) can work as an entry point into a composition, but once you've discovered a motif or harmonic structure by chance, you have to build upon that depending on what your ears hears, and where you want it to go. If your create a song entirely by chance, well that is essentially avant garde. Everyone has doubt on occasion. Sting's case of composer's block is well known. But like all creative processes, you need to write everyday, whether you're inspired or not. It's a process that requires dedication. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oy25A7vnigg.html

@whycantiremainanonymous8091 9 месяцев назад

My favorite melody writing trick (which I noticed I'm using all the time in retrospect) is to repeat the same phrase (as-is or transposed, some times with a bit of variation) over different harmony each time. The chord changes can be pretty bold; the bolder, the better, in fact. The repeating melody will hold the harmony together.

The ending cracked me up and inspired me. It was indeed a strong melody. It had that magical 7 note format.

I find the atmosphere created by the 'sound' of the synth 'patch' inspires the melody. Like building a space for the melody to appear. I find plain piano sound doesn't often do it. Unless I add stacks of reverb to make a cavern-like space.

Why have a piano... when you could have a _synthesizer?_

I feel the tune ends on such a crescendo, I wish Guy continued on developing that... Really sounds like an amazing film score piece on a big climax there.

@livionecco7185 3 года назад

Guy is indeed movie score composer ( The Invincible Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Ultimate Avengers, etc...). Now I see he's also a great teacher...Love this Guy.

Your enthusiasm is always infectious. Loved the part about rhythm being just as important with Darth Vader theme.

This is lovely and very helpful. One technique I have found useful is to actually start on a chord different than the tonic ( I) and extended your progression and melody as long as you can before you resolve it to the I chord. then when you actually do resolve it, this move has more impact. But the same tips on shape, repetition and variation still apply

It's great to see your creative process. Being a process of creation, the sheer number of angles one has to examine to find that melody is sometimes daunting, but I 100% agree that this particular melody being created is the composer acting as filter to some aspect of life - whether it is a take on romance, or heartbreak or war or peace or whatever. It is a composer's view especially at that particular point in time. So then it always stands to reason that a melody or theme I discard today, might work at another point in time. Everyone has a story, and everyone has a song of their very own. For some they might never be published, and for some it might create a living and a legacy. But make sure your story and your song sees the light of day. Search for it - it is out there. Also - I love the reference to Pirates of the Caribbean! But that's just my own proclivities... And Ginger biscuits for the win 😁 (I have nothing to sell anyone, but your videos inspire me. Thanks!)
