Her personality is like one of those cool music teachers in elementary school. And I love it.

[@oscarprins5126]

nah like the irritating teacher

[@henryle3602]

Maybe but I think more like a music teacher 🎹🎶

[@strawberrypie1173]

Yeah

[@galigaligali123]

I wish she was my music teacher

[@Carlo99yehey]

man, my music teacher is the opposite of that lol

[@snapoutofit4884]

I am a bit late to this party, but! Once upon a time, I wrote rather beautiful music and could play most any instrument i picked up. Fast forward to a crazy bad head injury (to understand level of bad, it required 50 stitches some glue and a bit of my skull is still missing) and I have retrograde amnesia and short term memory loss. I forget so many things, including & especially music. I try to relearn but it is so hard to make it stick. I am halfway through your video and not only is it sticking it is bringing bits and pieces back, which is super rare. This is a very long winded way of saying, thank you, this video is awesome, I have subscribed :)

" If you hear my high voice, then it is the high pitch, if you hear my low voice, then it is the low pitch " 😁 nice idea

Hahaha... I'm glad you liked it Vidhi! It was a silly way for me to explain it, but effective I hope! 😊

hey, its pretty cool to find another puthinator learning to make music.Well, all thanks to charlie

[@sammie875]

When you already knew everything she talked about But still can't make a melody

[@Ponipi]

René You didnt even read it?

[@aiden_macleod]

It simply means you should probably not try to write music and take up stamp collecting instead.

[@LuvsDarkie]

yep- relatable

[@jbdbibbaerman8071]

@René you misunderstand. The commenter just can't do the steps despite knowing how to. What you're saying is like claiming a gymnast isn't actually teaching you how to do a cartwheel just because you can't successfully follow the steps

Yah poems are the best for lyrics because of all the rhymes

[@mrjasondylan]

@@kawaiinightmare2873 yes but songs rhyme a lot of poetry doesn't.

[@redwatch.]

Seems obvious now, but I never thought of making the melody out of the notes in the chords before. Thank you so much.

[@DylanLaine]

You're so welcome! I'm really happy that you found that method useful 😊

[@britneyhuynh1846]

I'm MIND BLOWN at this! I've always had trouble making a good melody for my songs

[@GlitterPrincessOfDarkness]

You just explained to me one of the most important foundations of songwriting so easily in a 17 minute video.. you’re a legend.

[@bethanygyeh]

I new that this was how people composed music but you made it so much easier to understand.

[@linreynoso8963]

Agree!

[@bluedusteyes]

This is one of (if not the) most valuable songwriting videos on KZbin OMG THANK YOU

[@CesarDMarin]

I ve been having music lessons all my life. And this is just amazing. Simple and straight to the point! Excellent!

[@listeningdeeply7007]

Your personality is so lovely, you literally spread love every word you speak. Not to mention the great content, I didn't know I could sing the same notes of a scale to make the lyrics sound good!

[@bananinx3]

I can't believe i understand this omg thanks A LOT

[@notblakecallisto9027]

whenever I write a song and come up with a good guitar chords and try to find a good melody, I always find myself making the exact notes of the lyrics as the chords I'm playing... ITS SO FRUSTRATING.

[@constanzar.2523]

Yes! Now I can write interesting melodies for my songs. Thanks for the tips, they really helped!

[@DylanLaine]

Wonderful! And you're welcome! :-)

[@lyssandrakleier9856]

bro this video is magical lol. It makes so much sense it's kinda crazy; you can make a different song with the same chords as a song that already exists with the same chord progression. Kudos to you Dylan, this is the first time ive seen you but I'm very excited to write my first song now.

[@RyderDArelliOfficial]

Oh my gosh! I can not thank you enough. Thank you so much, melody is the main thing I struggle with. You have helped me so much in the past as well thank you. I have two originals and now I am working on a third, and I wouldn't of achieved if I hadn't of found your videos. Thank you xx

[@DylanLaine]

Hi Ryder! It makes me so happy to hear that my videos have been helping you out with your songwriting! Keep up the awesome work with your writing!!! 😊😊😊

[@livrhianne6983]

It’s from two years ago and so so so helpful! I never knew matching the pitch to the chord could sound so much better! Really good for aspiring artists! 💗

[@emmalouise7729]

[@arupp513]

Thanks a lot for this. The chords portion helped me massively to get outside my "predictable melody" mindset.

[@Choicescoach]

This was such a great lesson! You are an awesome teacher. I’m new to songwriting. I’ve been writing lots of lyrics and learning to play the guitar over the last several months. You have explained so well how to write melodies. Thank you!!!

Hi Dylane, and God bless, I'm Joel, I just watched your video. For a while I been having hard time looking for a melody for my songwriting. But I as I watched how you broke down step by step on melody and rhythm sections. It really helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing the techniques of the melody on KZbin. God bless you in all you do, and being obedient to calling that He has in stored for you. Shalom and God bless.
