A good melody is just like a good conversation between friends. You say the same thing over and over but put a different flourish at the end to lie to yourselves that it's going somewhere. Thanks for the terminology for antecedent and consequent phrases.
I can't tell what's better: your humor or how educational your tutorials are. Either way, I feel like I've learned more from your vids than any other channel on youtube. Please keep the episodes coming!
"We have a solid stool over hear and by the end it just kinda turned into diarrhea." "It just sounds like a bunch of territorial pissings." OMG THIS GUYY😂😂😂😂😂😂 But honestly, he teaches better than literally many other youtubers.
Kindred by Burial opposes your opening statement... that drum loop has been stuck in my head for 7 years. gonna stop here & listen to that first before returning to this video lol
To make a good melody: 1. Limit yourself. I stick to just 5 notes - D, F, G, A and C. (Pentatonic scale) 2. Make your limit go up, then down. Repeat it until your neighbours complain. 3. Use cheap sounding synths or exotic instruments like shamisens. People remember then. 4. Make it super memorable by speeding it up to 174bm (or faster) 5. Congratulations. Well, that's that what I did...
I sweat you are my new favourite superhero I cant stop watching these videos every morning with coffee and learning something new. As a person with strong ADHD while growing up I could not sit and listen to someone teach me even things I wanted to learn.. but these videos got me hooked and I am getting crazy amount of knowledge! Thank you Underbelly for telling me I suck at producing
Man! Love your sense of humor hahahaha. I don't know why youtube didnt recommend me this before. Great lesson! I will apply this in my songs, specially in my choruses!
Belly' s tutorials feel like he's teaching us coz we came here..unlike the other overly enthusiastic people who are just doing it for their channel. Its "Uh ok you wanna learn this?" vs "wow hey lemme show you how this works"
ah the "set arbitrary constraints and just do it" method of writing a melody. I guess we all start there. I definitely had a well trained ear for melodies way before I learned the theory. But I do wonder sometimes if all that would have been faster and easier if I had learned the theory first.
You're like if Dexter dropped dope beats instead of killing people.
Damn!! Yes! Dexter.
I say, why not both?
dropped beats instead of bodies lmao
Yeah something between Dexter and Flanders
This might be the best comment on youtube ever. Severely underrated.
I really like your teaching style. It encourages me into ultimate humility, through which, I find liberation. Wish I could subscribe twice.
beautifully put. thanks for watching
you can. it's called unsubscribing.
agree but you still suck at producing
do not disturb the 420 likes on this.
You can, just press the button again.
I like how he talks to us like kids in kindergarten
But uses adult sorta words XD
aren't we?
it works better than any paid tutoring
😂😀😂
implying that we're adults in the first place

Brilliant point there man !!!
@@spamfriendly6489 Thanks, I made it!
This is the first video I’ve watched from this guy and as soon as he started singing his notes and said wowzers , I knew he was special
stop calling me a dingus
ya dingus
no u
savage
@@yousuckatproducing booli
Beimer Nah man :) people should be less sensitive. Harden up ya dingus
I laughed my ass off when you started to sing over the melody
and then he stops and is like "ok"
Reminded me of Peter Griffin's singing
first vid i see from this guy and then this .. fuck that shit killed me lol
Trippin Moonjuice hahahahah
Same
Love this guy
Not like other channels where I feel like I'm in class and everything is serious
im the cool teacher at skool
Unfortunately, this is the best melody tutorial ever and my music teacher would never let us watch this.
Wowzers

thank you for the kind words friend, much love
"o-kay suh checkkit", I already like this guy after two videos. :D
ayy thanks blue
lol same
lol subscribed after the first intro i've seen
(after 2 years)
i’m not sure why this god of a man doesn’t have more subscribers
01:57 "I have this Assbeat right here" lol
Ironically, that assbeat is 10x better than most of my lifetime musical output.
was not ready, fuckin ended me lmao
Glad to see you young whippersnappers still recognise the realness of the Scatman.
the scat never dies
"that's what happens when you try to express yourself musically without constraint"
That explains everything
Love the human side to your teaching, like a story, it really helps it stick

I like how he called out "I'm gonna break the rule!" Like he's approaching climax , there's just nothing that can be done to stop it
Imagine him ordering at a restaurant
"I'd like a Big Mac you dingus" with dead emotions

Well, that's that what I did...
lol for some reason the speed it up to 174bpm cracked me up
@@sloneijia2021
You know what's funnier than 174 BPM???
**giggle**
175 BPM!
Ɛᴅᴜᴀʀᴅᴏ ahahahaha well played - classic sponge moment
Awesome man!
And for some added effect, add pauses, take O.D. by polyphia for example
I love the weird cynical humor combined with actual teaching.
Such an amazing personality, please keep it up man! Great work
thx bb
Bet you guys didn't know this is the Kazoo Kid all grown up. Facts.
BS
Bro
@@MartiusAli yup, it's bs. the kazoo kid is Brett Ambler lol
Me when i purposely spread misinformation over the internet
Sad thing is, that assbeat is 10x better than most of my lifetime musical output.
Ok so check it, the reason for that is that you suck at production bro but wowzers keep improving.
exactly what i was thinking
the territorial pissing killed me 😂🐋🐳🐙

The brain of this gooy needs to be preserved. Amazing concoction of humor and musical abilities. Keep up bruu
I love how honest this dude is with his audience
Ok so check it.
No matter how bad the feel, 2 minutes of this and I´m fine. Thank you
Bro, my Diploma of Music Production teacher literally plays your videos for us in class to teach us better 🤣
like those private scam diplomas which cost a shit ton and bring you next to nothing except connections or the real deal like Bachelor of Music?
Song name: Zen Rock by Underbelly.
It’s on his SoundCloud (repost section). Chilled song. 🔥
Thank you sir, hands down best teacher online.
I got into this series for the humor.
But now I realize I'm watching it more and more seriously.
Well played, sir. Well-played.
Good tip is to make sure it's not all about the pitches about the melody, but remember to have good rhythm too.
Yes. Don't be afraid to play the same note twice, thrice, ... in a row.
Thanks for making these videos fun to watch..laugh and learn!
thanks for watching athar
Lol laughed throughout the vid and learned something valuable at the same time.. Good stuff man!!'
glad you dug it oscar
2017, youtbe: hold on
2018, youtube: wait a minute
2019, youtube: there you go
almost 2020, me: wowsers!!!
Solenya I thought this was recent 😂😂
This dude makes me feel like learning and watching meme videos at the same time...love it!
That's 12 videos in a row. I am now both unconsciously and consciously aware I suck at producing.
Dude knows his shit, explains it well and is funny as hell. Pure genius.
I know this is an old upload but you explained it to me as if i was a 5 year old, it's exactly what I needed.....thanks..
Those vocal runs + 1 like
swag
why i found you at 2019???? it should be earlier
The vocal line you sang while playing the melody became more memorable to me @2:47
Bro best channel on TH-cam for music!
Yet another channel about music production to add to my subs. Hell yeah!;
your beard makes your facial expressions look less sarcastic than they used to
What are you talking about? I've always been SINCERE

I’m making my second beat ever and go on TH-cam to see this in my recommended... the universe trying to tell me something.

I think people who watched your video series will remember the melody of video's theme song forever.
i hope it burns into people's brains
Just found this. love it.
All music theory knowledge is much appreciated
thanks for the videos. you always give me inspiration to try out new techniques!!

When i first discovered you, i thought who is this crazy dude... but now i can see that you are a genius.
Thank you!!!My music, always takes so long to finish, I need to focus on the melody.

Hi
Very cool advices around here
