I've taken most of Berklee's online songwriting courses.. I had Jimmy as a teacher in one of them. Pat Patterson and his songwriting teachers are excellent...
This is one of the most useful/impt lessons on youtube ever. Thank you so much. I've been trying to learn this very concept but didnt know the words "counterpoint". I'm so glad you taught this.
Thx a lot Jimmy! I thought for a minute that I couldn't write melody….had a mini panic attack. Your video reminded me of things I already knew plus added a few new insights. thx, i wrote something today :)
Loving Jimmy Kachulis videos! Got me thinking about melody lines in all sorts of new ways. I'm currently writing and releasing 100 songs in 100 days on my channel, so this is very helpful. Would love to hear any thoughts or critiques from fellow songwriters and music lovers!
I can write songs, play guitar and write my own chord progressions, but I cannot create my own melodies without going out of tune, idm my voice but I'm not in tune man ahah I always fuck up doing vocals because I literally can't create melodies and it drives me up the wall my music sounds so boring
Can someone please please tell if this is right. So he basically played the third with a few flavor notes over each chord he played in the first example. If thats the case I'm so happy I understand that and how pretty that sounds
So what comes first song lyrics or creating melody? How do you do this to a beat? I picked a beat or track as they say. I write lyrics. Then I’m stuck. I never record or do anything with those lyrics. So to stop self sabotaging myself do I need learn melody or vocal production to figure how and what places in the best to sing and time those lyrics ?
Baby doll Siren I’m currently looking for this. Can’t come up with the right terminology to ask a question but nothing fucking comes up. Very frustrating. I have a a couple songs in the mix and need vocal melody over it or the vocals and I can’t come up with anything that’s not monotonous or repetitive
this guy is into doin somthin else. this can't be exactly writing songs, i wanna here write songs without touchn any instrument. i mean from the mind creating beautiful phrases and build structure...
