Her personality is like one of those cool music teachers in elementary school. And I love it.
nah like the irritating teacher
Maybe but I think more like a music teacher 🎹🎶
Yeah
I wish she was my music teacher
man, my music teacher is the opposite of that lol
" 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
Dylan Laine I need to learn to write music 🎶 because 😞 when I’m feeling down I can just get in a space in write music
when she speaks in low voice it's still high af tho
@@DylanLaine can you please tell me which ukulele it is ?
When you already knew everything she talked about
But still can't make a melody
René You didnt even read it?
It simply means you should probably not try to write music and take up stamp collecting instead.
yep- relatable
@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
@@aiden_macleod Im tryna be cool and shi 😭
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 :)
That’s nice that it’s working for you also nice dogs
@@olivergraham-horne8556 they are quite hilarious :)
Good on you! 😊
That’s so sweet I hope you feel better dude :)
Thats really cool to hear that its helping you good luck brother.
Everything you taught in this video I've been trying to understand for so long but you broke it down so well that it all FINALLY MAKES PERFECT SENSE. Thank you so freaking much!
I'm so happy to hear that! :) :) :)
I feel you :)
Thank you Dylan for explaining melody at a basic level. You are an excellent teacher! 👏
Seems obvious now, but I never thought of making the melody out of the notes in the chords before. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome! I'm really happy that you found that method useful 😊
Watching this in 2019.. i want to learn more about song writing. 😊 i got a few poems, and i love to create melody.
same with me!
Awesome! Write some melodies to them!
erick j medina some
Yah poems are the best for lyrics because of all the rhymes
@@kawaiinightmare2873 yes but songs rhyme a lot of poetry doesn't.
Thank you so much. You're bringing out my inner passion that I've lost years ago.
Oh I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing!
I'm MIND BLOWN at this! I've always had trouble making a good melody for my songs
I hope you have a great songs.
Same
britney huynh me too!
I’m so excited you’re continuing the Songwriting 101 series!!!
Yay!! Me too!! I hope you enjoy this one :)
@@DylanLaine can u answer a question please?💔💔❤❤
@@DylanLaine please i'm so worried
You are absolutely amazing. You taught me more in 20 minutes than I have learned myself for a year. Truly amazing.
I love how she makes it simple and easy to learn
Thank you so much! I'm glad you think so!
You described my whole life at 0:47 and that itself is worth a thumb up.
You just explained to me one of the most important foundations of songwriting so easily in a 17 minute video.. you’re a legend.
You are an amazing human being!
I mean I searched for this while I was demotivated and after hearing and just being captivated by your enthusiasm I had to buck up and start writing songs❤️🥺
I ve been having music lessons all my life. And this is just amazing. Simple and straight to the point! Excellent!
Yes! Now I can write interesting melodies for my songs. Thanks for the tips, they really helped!
Wonderful! And you're welcome! :-)
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!
You're charming and inspiring, as a pianist, you have helped me get closer to composing the BIG ONE. Thank you, your smile brightens my day!
OMG I GOT IT
STUDIO, STAY STILL IM COMING
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
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!!! 😊😊😊
I will do my best, thank you so much :D
That sounds like a great plan! 😊
Isn't it great when somebody hands you this key to something and you think, "Hey! That's it! That's how it works....now I can put it to use, myself"
Your voice is just amazing. This is such a gift. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
mya meddon is john lennon SAME. that’s what’s happening to me rn😭😭
I’m struggling rn that’s why I’m here
not mya carter same.
Try writing the melody first then put lyrics.
I can write lyrics for you.
I needed to watch it more often, but now I understand it thanks for this video🥺🥺😊😊
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!!!
I can't believe i understand this omg thanks A LOT
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.
I new that this was how people composed music but you made it so much easier to understand.
Agree!
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! 💗
This is one of (if not the) most valuable songwriting videos on TH-cam OMG 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 TH-cam. God bless you in all you do, and being obedient to calling that He has in stored for you. Shalom and God bless.
I know this vidéo is old but the way you explain, is BRILLANT. It sounds maybe silly but GENIUS. I have been trying for years just to understand how to see the notes in different way. You made it happened.
Thanks a lot for this. The chords portion helped me massively to get outside my "predictable melody" mindset.
You voice is so pretty and thank you for inspiration ❣💖💖
6:51 onwards... Invaluable guidances! I was searching over years. ❤
This video was so incredibly helpful. I can't thank you enough. Please don't ever stop making videos. You also have a very beautiful voice. Thank you again.
You can sing.
This is first video I have watched from your channel and did subscribed. Awesome, You taught really in very simple way.. Easily understood now what I was looking for so long time. Thanks a ton..
Ahhhh this is starting to make sense!! Since I've been actually learning the piano. I can't wait to continue to learn and understand all this.
Awwwww thank you so much for your precious tips! I'm pretty depressed and tend to rely on music to kind of make it through,. Making up melodies and songs is priceless, so thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dylan
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Super enjoying your videos!
You're welcome, Stephanie! I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying the videos :-)
Now I clearly know what's the Chord progression means😅😄..Thank You for this deep & understandable lesson!!😊💜
