Woah... Jonas actually has legs? I thought he was just a floating torso 🤯

for those who can't understand that half step thingy just remember this. Major chord - place a note > skip 3 notes > place a note > skip 2 notes > place a note. Minor chord - place a note > skip 2 notes > place a note > skip 3 notes > place a note. You're welcome

[@johnrick3508]

You deserve a Medal. Thank you , do you maybe know what he means at 9:24 Where he says lets put 1 Note 3 or 4 down does he mean steps ? or half steps? or Apples? I dot get it.. iam new to this topic tho.

[@yasdanymendez5989]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[@strixcz]

Hey, this is super handy - for a begginer that I am this feels like magic! :D Thanks a lot.

[@bas2661]

@@johnrick3508 i think you already know what he means but if you dont he means that the bass notes are gonna be the 5the step of the melody so he just makes a chord out of the melody and the last note of every chord is gonna be the bass note

[@andreas9924]

I know it is a little late but here is a tip that tremendously helped me memorize major and minor scales. In essence, just remember that C major and its relative minor scale, A minor, have only white keys. Then, follow the white keys on your keyboard or piano roll to determine where the whole steps and half steps are in the scale. For example, start with a C and follow all the white keys. If there is no black key between two white notes, it is a half step (h). If there is a black key, then it is a whole step (W). So, major scale will be W-W-h-W-W-W-h. Same idea applies to the minor scale. Start with an A and follow the white keys, which will result in W-h-W-W-h-W-W. Then, you can use this code to apply it to any scale. In short, just visualize C major and A minor. Hopefully, my explanation makes sense. Also, FL has a neat tool in the piano roll options. Go to piano roll options → Helpers → Scale highlighting. It definitely helped me in the beginning although eventually, I would recommend keeping your piano roll highlighting in C major.

If it sounds good, it sounds good. A sentence I learned when overthinking about how to arrange my chords. Not that you always have to put them super simple, but that in some cases its valid if it sounds good :)

As I said in the video about creating better melodies, this will help people so much. My first introduction to music was by playing the piano. I really think it is one of the best instruments to learn, especially if you are new to music production. You’re not going to learn every aspect of theory but it definitely helps in the long run.

[@niallbartell]

Tip for learning scales: if you want to learn scales, find the code for the scale you want, like the Minor Scale for example (2122122 or WHWWHWW) Just make it your phone passcode until you memorize it, helped me tons 👍 Love the vid man

[@theyoutubeacademic2763]
