[@gianserra]

I have still not seen the video yet but I trust too.

[@redouane4814]

Idk

[@prodbyaye8751]

Hilarious

[@MrMarkstyles]

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...

[@AprilKeez]

Jimmy was one of my favorite professors at Berklee! So glad I'm still able to access these videos. 💜

[@seth608]

wait a minute is this dude's shirt secured with velcro

[@sheakennedy1932]

Hidden buttons. I've got a shirt just like it. the strip covers another underlying strip where the buttons are.

[@mattm5324]

Were you paid by Velcro to insert their product here? Or were you speaking about generic latch and hook xD

[@MarcusDobson916]

@@sheakennedy1932 lol you explaining it is a joke in itself...

[@cembasak8698]

Hearing Jimmy Kachulis speak makes me want to eat something, he speaks like he is talking about something very delicious

[@raisa_cherry35]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Dizinii]

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.

[@BrianTCarter]

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 :)

[@joetroutt7425]

I like singing with the bass to emphasize an idea. ie. choruses. Thanks for the tip

[@egeyigiter1152]

What is Mike from Breaking Bad doing teaching me vocal melody?

[@haitianballer14]

[@ppsayl1235]

[@unclemaple]

You are the greatest instructor. Thank you for sharing your skills.

[@juanbotero4154]

Sounds like the theme somg of a sitcom

[@Ndo01]

This is genius.

[@lolsucks3599]

Sounds good, u make great melodies and you really know what you are doing. But I still dont know how to do one for my vocals 😅

[@andrewtufano]

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!

[@santyonlymetal7698]

OK :)

[@hellmunddegenhard]

This video changed everything for me, appreciated.

[@haisooni]

I have joined Pat Patterson's Lyric Writing classes... And, it is the time to check The Songwriting classes.

[@tjrose1100]

Circle of trust

[@Batawi]

That is an amazing tutorial

[@jcaprai243]

love learning how to sing from Al Michaels

[@nosurprises6798]

Tony Soprano truly has taught me something today

[@nathanadnitt]

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

[@saikrishnaidu3477]

same man…i can make and produce songs but i always get stuck at making vocal melodies…even if i try it’s just too boring

[@joelmilan7835]

This is so brilliant

[@Next_Dangote]

Love this

[@ligwingo6242]

Good shit thx for the video

[@pierreletoast]

Very interesting tips ! Thanks :)

[@evilrichard1118]

hey!! I want to make vocal melodies like "Post Malone" please help me out!!! And appreciate your work🙏🙏

[@MOMdad1962]

very interesting - thank you

[@Dallakmusic]

man the was dope and its from 2015.

[@goatyachty1762]

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

[@Mahdi-gz3fk]

so nice and useful

[@Annie-bf9ic]

Hello. I need help. Do chorus and verses have any melodic relation or you just write them in different melodies?

[@sebastiancampos4197]

I liked it pretty much

[@darrenparis4742]

I love Yes btw

[@LolaKatsumi]

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 ?

[@TheMISKREANT]

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

[@leedaltez]

Interesting thanks

[@Diego-uo7mq]

Mr Stallone is not only a great actor, but a great musical instructor as well!

[@patrickesteybar4043]

There's really knowledge in this vid. But I wish this vid has visualizations while he explains. 😅

[@somedude7232]

He reminds me of the dude from american beauty

[@nickolitanner6598]

Lol the melody he did first of is almost the same as myself by post malone

[@michaelhenderson6112]

This guy was probably songwriting when Post Malone was in diapers.

[@eXWoLL]

Silvester Stallone teaching songwriting.

[@GR_BackingTracks]

I wish the first five minutes of this video were as clear as the last 30 seconds.

[@Enoch-XYZ]

help me

[@nigelpisswater484]

He looks a bit like the villain from total recall lol

[@albanyavenueband8109]

Why’s Sylvester Stallone teaching me vocal melody

[@HaharuRecords]

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...

[@miguelpereira9859]

You wanna do that then do it lol

[@srekashraff]

And i dont understand anything. Haha..

[@AlexBaylymusic]

He can write a melody. but he can't play in time.

[@michaelhenderson6112]

It's jazz. Chill man.

[@perfectonavarro6537]

I used every single of the websites for free free coins and gems, and just GameCrook was real.
