How to Make Catchy Chords (as a beginner producer)

[@MyGuy4You]

"here's some sad drums if you're not already crying yet," lol. You are definitely my favorite person to listen to about music.

[@AndyTanguay]

I can’t tell you how helpful these videos are. As someone who lives to make music, but has no musical talent, learning ‘the rules’ is helping me make less atonal mud.

[@omnipotentreployer2611]

Dude your channel is like a gem in KZbin, cuz like its not easy to find people who break down stuff this way and turn it into an entertaining yet insightful lesson ! I really liked your videos on avicii,kygo and deadmau5's production designs, it was all really cool stuff......Can you cover more popular songs and like showcase all the design philosophies behind their chords and melodies? Keep up the awesome work man !

[@thedj5914]

The guys amazing, definitely considering a course with Alex 👌

[@SpicyTempo]

Thanks Alex! I love your videos 🔥 I like how you don’t rush over things and explain things very well 👍🏼🙏🎸🌶️

[@Touchin-Grass]

Easily my favorite KZbinr for any music production tips.

[@sebastiansteffens3518]

Honestly, I'm crying right now. Music theory has always been so fascinating to me, yet so complicated to understand. And here you are, making it so easy, logical and understandable for everyone. You are a blessing to the world man. Thankful for you and people like you giving their greatest gift to the world - and inspiring people along the way 🙏

That's why, Alex Rome is the best Father of Chords. He always resonates us and teaches us many things.

[@filipgracner]

[@jeremiahlyleseditor437]

You are very good at what you do Thank for making this video. Happy Holidays to you

[@AlexRome]

Thanks, I appreciate it, happy holidays to you too!

[@kylemakesgames]

Honestly clicked off and on thinking i didnt need to watch the next part but i kept being wrong. Great video and very helpful. That arching of the chords was mind blowing for me.

[@Casualink_Maboy]

I always watch for music tips. I use your method and even with just a fl mobile (I don't have a computer lol) I can make music in different styles. Thanks

[@privmylta]

very begginer friendly, thank you!

[@halgatewood]

I guess I like "nutty" music now. 😅

[@im7-60]

非常有用的教学❤❤

[@PhilB303]

brilliant, thanks Alex.

[@orrinbynum5978]

Hi Alex. I have saved quite a few of your videos in hopes to use some of your ideas of chord usage later in my own music. I particularly love how you use those dotted eighth note rhythms would you be kind enough to explain how I can make those dotted eighth note rhythms in my chords quickly and repeatedly like you do in your music to me please. I absolutely love how use them in your music.

[@rochellevincentevonk]

Great stuff!!

[@lorenzorossi7468]

Those headphones are so big they need room treatment inside them. With love, keep up the good work my man

[@JonM-ts7os]

This is great training, gg.

[@Asyouwere]

Alex, this is a great video, and I love you to death. I've also bought your courses, which are great. But those headphones....

[@Veltster]

Yo dude, you make great videos that I understand and don't even make music. Love your recreations and explanation as to why they are abnormally good. If you were to take any suggestions I would love for you to recreate Shelter by Porter Robinson & Madeon or Lane 8 - Sunday Song. That is all, and thanks for putting out great content.

[@LostJupiter]

KK 😊

[@gormjeiner]

Always wondered where to place a pedal tone in a chord progression. Can you choose any note that sounds good, or is there a rule for where the pedal tone goes?

[@ricomine2pl136]

3:53 that change to lofi was way too sudden for such a deep beat 😂

[@Bobbandus]

Hello Alex! Could you maybe make an video about how "You Make Me" by Avicii was made? It features the same singer that singed on Silhouettes called Salem Al Fakir.

[@christopherkouri2317]

slipped in a lil banger there at 10min....I see you ;-)

[@lcbmusic404]

You're my most inspiring producer❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 All long have wanted to be one of the first to watch your vids. So happy it just happened ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 Side note: we look alike irl!😍😂❤️❤️❤️

[@JayboTheHood]

3:56 Nope. Not crying yet. Is there something wrong with me? 😐 Wwait, 😮 iiis that a picture of an umbrella? 😢 😢😢😢

[@enealiviu4797]

Hello Alex! I was wondering where can i ask you some questions in private. Writing in the comments would be too long to find out some info.

[@COR3YBOREALIS]

Any good cord charts for showing best cords?

[@AiresLA]

Omg thank you, bald Seth Freakin' Rollins! You trully are a visionary!

[@PIZZAdayisback]

Me, who's DAW which doesn't have an arpeggiator: 😐

[@AlexRome]

Which DAW are you using?

[@PIZZAdayisback]

@AlexRome FL studio mobile Only supersaw actually has an arpeggiator

[@AlexRome]

@ ahh. You have to step it up with a paid version of FL for the arp plugin, although, the arp in fl isn’t very good.

[@PIZZAdayisback]

@AlexRome what? I thought FL mobile already cost money! I knew there were in app purchases but I didn't think basic features would cost extra!

[@Vizzent01]

​@@PIZZAdayisback alex means the desktop version of fl
