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

Thankuuuu

[@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 :)

Oh my god dude. You just explained music theory the clearest I've ever heard it. That piano roll walk through was brilliant.

[@danporcaromusic]

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.

[@theyoutubeacademic2763]

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

Super useful tips! simply the best content creator related to music theory currently💓

[@ryanolson858]

I like to find two or three chords I am pretty familiar with and then experiment to see if I can find a new or interesting chord that I wasn't expecting to fit my progression! this helps me learn new chords and also find a way to build around them for future reference if I come across a time to use it again, and most of the time it will make the progression sound unique and not cliche.

[@meh1542]

I usually get excited about videos like this and end up disappointed. But your videos instantly(literally) improved my production skills. 🎉 ❤️

[@LiMCRiMZ]

FLS also has "helpers"/guides (or ghost channels if you will) in the piano roll settings that can help beginners stay on track with any given scale, along with loads of chords that can be added in with a single click of the root/tonic note. Great video, sometimes the most simple changes in a progression can make all the difference.
