I’ll be continuing my R&B sound selection series next week! Just wanted to drop this quick 251 video as you’ll be hearing them throughout the series. The 3rd example is what I used in the intro of the last video and the pitched sine demo.
im so glad you returned to youtube, man. your videos are seriously so inspirational for me. watching one puts me in the mindset of "i wanna be able to make stuff like this, and im willing to put in the work" have a good one, man!
I always appreciate what you post when you post it but TH-cam is a better place when you post frequently like this, Stefan. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 so thank you for these back to backs. Cheers bruv from across the pond. ✊🏾✌🏾
thanks for these tutorials man. I actually have the opposite problem that you mentioned. Im completely self taught, and I learned to play chords with my left hand not my right, and I use my right to play licks/melodies over top. Trying to play chords with my right hand is so clunky, trying to train it. These videos give me something to practice with while learning a few new things. Really appreciate the content
Hey man, glad you’re enjoying the content! It’s so interesting you learnt with playing chords in your left! I had to really start working on my left when I had to play two keyboards at church. Same as you, licks and melodies in the right on the top keyboard.
Nice tutorial, appreciate the free pdf! Thanks. EDIT : As a matter of fact, I bought your chord pack, to support your channel and hope you keep treating us with sweet content.
Hey man, thank you so much! Really appreciate the support! Glad you’re enjoying the content too! I’m trying to keep to a weekly schedule now, every Wednesday so look out for the next drop next week! Thanks again 🙏🏾
Bruv….I forgot to say this…when Ella Mai’s album dropped I listened it through and Chord progressions that you taught us from the past were incorporated throughout the album…and you yourself mentioned that those chords are used by artistes like Ella Mai etc…I was like this bredda Stefan really knows what he’s talking about😂😂
😂😂😂 yeah man!! What did you think of the album? I was thinking of doing another Producing For Ella Mai vid when the album dropped but didn’t get around to it
@@stefanguy the album is beautiful…frfr she didn’t disappoint at all🔥🔥and yeah bro you should definitely do another “Producing for Ella Mai” video…u know her sound🔥😂
Yeah there’s some tunes on there man. I love “Break My Heart”. But yeah when I start back up with the series I’ll do an Ella Mai one. It’s definitely the easiest for me lol I think it’s cause it’s the closest thing to my natural production style haha.
that last segment got me thinking. when you’re actually playing chords in both hands, do you think of them in terms of the larger chord they create or the two individual chords? I tend to go back and forth personally when I notate, but that’s usually after the fact. I’m curious about your approach since you’re much better at playing in real time than I am
Yo KidGhost! I usually see them as one chord and split it in whatever way is most comfortable for me. Especially if I’m playing in a band or producing a track and there’s already bass. I’m often playing higher up the keyboard and I’m only using two hands because I absolutely have to lol. But to me it’s still one chord. I think splitting them is good just for memory sake whilst playing though.
@@stefanguy that’s definitely something I gotta practice more intentionally. sometimes I practice chords by scale, other times I pick a chord and just transpose it around, not really sure which is more effective yet
Both are correct; I find it useful that a 1 bass(left hand) and 3 chord (right hand) = Major 7th So in C = C major + E minor = C major 7th 1/3 C/ E-G-B You can do the same with major 9th 1/5 C bass + G chord= major 9th
@@stefanguy actually ending the day off with some theory! just got home from a night shift two hours ago and felt like i needed a small piece of productivity before i went to bed lol
Moving some stuff around at the moment but either head to stefanguy.com/products/chord-pack/?ref=Lite - at the top you should see a blue bar. Click the link in it, it will give you some free progressions plus the PDF. Or email me at stefanguy.com/contact/ and I’ll send it to you. Either way, let me know if the blue bar shows for you as it’s conditional on the link.
Oh I get you. Are fellowing the finger suggestions? I think one of the things important to do with Melodics is to have high repetition. Even when you’ve passed a lesson, keep practicing until it becomes muscle memory and you don’t have to think about it. I think it’s easy to do a lesson, pass it and move on. When i’d learn a song, I’d play it over and over and the hand movement became easier and easier over time
Stefan i love your videos but i need another kind of help. I feel completely cruched by the amount of music that is being produced today. More than 200k songes a day are uploaded on spotify + soundcloud alone. So, so, so Much great music, not even counting the amazing music of the past. I feel like there’s this huge conversation going on and me adding anything is pointless. It makes me want to cry, it’s almost psychaedelic in nature. Like watching the night Sky and getting hit by the monstruous collossal size of the universe, inflating to no end... kills my motivation to teach or play for people, im there playing strings for myself, wanting to dig in till death brings me peace. Spending it listening to stuff like flylo-reggiewatts-rebillet streams. Giving up to the beauty and just listening. Maybe it’s just a phase ? It’s been going on for a while in my mind, hopefully it doesnt infect you...
Hey Pierre Yves, thanks for this honest message. I totally understand where you’re coming from with the sheer amount of music being created daily. I find it hard listen to songs more than 3 or 4 times before moving onto something else just to keep up. But when it comes to my own creation of music, I try to forget about the numbers or the metrics or how many people are listening to it. Because that’s not why I started making music. I started making music because it was fun. And I started making TH-cam videos because it was fun. And I teach because it’s helping people, even if it’s just one. So even when TH-cam no longer is fun, there’s still that foundation too. Try to remember why you started playing music and why you teach. The numbers don’t mean a thing. Focus on the fun, focus on helping someone else and I promise you’ll find meaning in it again. And you'll find your audience by way of just being you and playing/making the music you want to make. I hope this helps. Keep your head up bro! And be sure to talk to someone professional if you need to 🙏🏾

You're welcome, thanks for watching!
✨🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨🔥
Here's a video idea, I'd love to just see how you play, would you ever make a video where you just freestyle?
stef Smooth. i was listening to Ella Mai new song DFMU, and i said, that beat sound like something Stefan Guy would make haha
Yoo brother!! Haha I was literally talking to someone else about this and how my production style is similar!!
Bruv….I forgot to say this…when Ella Mai’s album dropped I listened it through and Chord progressions that you taught us from the past were incorporated throughout the album…and you yourself mentioned that those chords are used by artistes like Ella Mai etc…I was like this bredda Stefan really knows what he’s talking about😂😂

can you change the key of the lesson in Melodics ? If I want to learn the lesson in a specific key?
Great video man, is the white native instruments keyboard limited edition?
Thanks man! And unfortunately yes!
Really nice. Do you know all the scales by heart ?
Thank you! All my major and minor scales yes :).. essential stuff!

Both are correct; I find it useful that a 1 bass(left hand) and 3 chord (right hand) = Major 7th
So in C = C major + E minor = C major 7th
1/3
C/ E-G-B
You can do the same with major 9th
1/5
C bass + G chord= major 9th
What’s the first chords ? In the first part of the video
what are those turn around chords around 0:10??
Are your midi files compateble with Protools?
good morning from the east coast of the united states stefan!
Morning! I see you’re starting your day off right with some music theory 🙌🏾 haha
@@stefanguy actually ending the day off with some theory! just got home from a night shift two hours ago and felt like i needed a small piece of productivity before i went to bed lol
Plot twist! Haha Well glad I could share this video with you! Rest well man!
holy shi what is this keyboard
What's the name of your piano keyboard?
Please man
Please tell me that piano is a stock preset from native instruments and komplete.

I feel stuck in some areas of learning via Melodics
Hey Gary, hope you're well! What areas is it not helping with or it could do a better job in?
@@stefanguy for a need help in hand movements in some of their lessons
