I’ve written my best hooks without the intent of writing them to be one. Just wrote a bunch of lyrics and sometimes some of them just pop, stand out. Good advice. New to the channel but I already can see how passionate about music you are man. I dig it

[@crazyjack66]

I've been searching youtube for years to get exactly this video. I couldn't quite put my finger on the building blocks missing of writing a vocal melody and you just did it so simple. Thank you!

[@jordanwhisson5407]

I think it is a talent a skill and a learnable a song is a chain of correct decisions

[@vinoh8231]

This is so helpful!. When I heard you singing the melody I immediately go "wooah". Thanks!

[@SofoniBeats]

Wow....that was pretty simple. Making those sounds helps me get to a catchy hook sometimes.

[@Klipsat]

Man you so underratedplease keep up

[@אלכסאשרי]

true!!

[@brozyes]

It's not a talent, it's not a gift, it's a process.

[@Song101uk]

Amen.

[@nellytgm]

God, this changes my life

[@JDCottonMusic]

Brilliant in it's simplicity

[@jassnaround]

I got it! Was struggling with what a hook is and how to make one. You really helped me with this.

[@AprilKeez]

Fantastic video! I love the way you demonstrated the process. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos! 😊

[@Song101uk]

Excellent video

[@calenaur]

Great video! I really like that you showed the theory you were talking about on an example. Thank you!

[@AmanSingh-cb7om]

Very nice lesson. Thank you. I like the pentatonic and repetition idea. Cheers!!

[@Song101uk]

Glad you liked it 🙂

[@marlenecesarotti8468]

fabulous I always wanted to know what a hook was $$$$. Now I know....THANKS great explanation

[@Pensacola2]

The best video I have ever seen on this subject, this gonna help me so much with my music.

[@forgetmyhead2115]

just found your channel out last night and i've had trouble with songwriting but your channel helps out a ton! thank you so much

[@Song101uk]

No problem, glad you're finding it useful!

[@RogerJaegerMusic]

I would argue that perhaps the drums in "We Will Rock You" by Queen and in "Down With the Sickness" by Disturbed act as hooks since they help identify the song as soon as your hear them. But great video, great example of hook writing. Thank you for sharing!

[@Song101uk]

Yep, agreed! The difficulty with hooks that aren't melodic is making them unique. Usually it's done through the production rather than the actual composition of the music (i.e. what the drums sound like rather than what the drummer is actually playing). As always, there are some exceptions, and I think you've highlighted two good ones!

[@just2comment2]

Under Pressure bass line, how good is that hook :)

[@determinedexplorer6769]

Very simple and helpful. All the best. Thanks Bro.

[@peterbernhard7415]

This is great! 10:30 You are not being explicit about what I had found out, to my surprise: that you change chords while keeping up your thing. In other word: You do not want to "wait for the harmonies". They do not matter to you. So is the hook the notes you sing or is it the chords. Any good musician might say: it's with or without you. How do "hook" and "chorus line" relate to each other?

[@its.dan.eastwood]

Thanks for making this!

[@halachwinik9197]

I just did my daugthers home work using this video. Thanks.

[@Song101uk]

I wish the homework I had at school was writing hooks. Nope... Memorising the elements of the periodic table instead. Still, I'm glad. I use that information day in, day out 🙃

[@Scratch1980]

Thanks bro! Everything you are saying makes such sense. I have been struggling with being creative. I can play very well and I don't have trouble my guitar. But I have I guess "writer's block". I overthink it. This is a good approach and I have some ideas now.

[@rizlovedaydream8424]

Man you are great, please never stop to make this type videos.. Its really help it👍☺

Caught this easy it’s about hooks #hooky

[@nahswille5463]

awesome:)

[@carlifonia]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@DavidStarrUSA]

Every song I sing has auto-tune because I can't sing. Lol. However I make sure to process everything in pentatonic scale. Hopefully someone will sing along. ☺️🤘

[@rokotensei]

very underrated

[@Song101uk]

Thank you 👍

[@BeatLabStudio2024]

good video dude, add oil

[@impassionofmusic7270]

I don know🤔

[@BenHarrismusic]

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@lavbir]

Yeah... except the fact that this hook is the hook from ADELE - Someone Like You' verse.

[@kellytori3177]

Your so cute and i learnt alot

[@tanyamackey6323]

I like okay

[@tjfinessedit3447]

great lessons from James Franco

[@urosjovanovic4795]

what If you can't sing?

[@masterragebaiter]

It’s hard to take you seriously when you’re not a known songwriter. Like if your process isn’t working for you why would it work for us ?

[@joshbraun7455]

I think that some people are inherently better than others at writing music no matter how much you try

[@will-wf6sb]

I can make up a tune wether it's good,bad, dreadful,,but thats it,,and they never get used... I actually need to actually get a frigging pen paper and actually write lyrics no matter what they are.and see what happens. . sounds like a plan.🎤🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧.

[@selliantuttimusi6735]

And this is exactly how Dua Lipa comes up with their hits.

[@Freshprinz]

nate dogg lyrical hook king

[@Inktownicon]

You should turn this into an actual song

[@officialWWM]

Sounds like the formula for writing another crappy, forgettable pop song 🙄

[@FrenchDreamTv]

you talk too much bro keep it short and simple
