David Bruce- Composing A Melody over a Chord Progression Ā Ā Ā ā¢Ā HowĀ toĀ WriteĀ aĀ GreatĀ MelodyĀ (OverĀ Cho...Ā Ā
The Andalusian Cadence is an old fashioned chord progression that can be thought of as mainly deriving from the Minor Key (aeolian mode) but also includes the dominant chord. It's a killer progression, you've heard it in songs like Runaway by Del Shannon and Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, as well as a million other songs.
This time, we're transforming into many different styles, and along the way, hopefully you pick up some composing tricks, music theory hacks, or general song writing inspiration.
These are the links I reference in this video. If you were confused something in this video, chances are it is explained in one of the following vids.

A quick note- there's some sloppy guitar playing in here. I absolutely have the production skills to elminate those mistakes (and probably would if these songs were to be released on an album) but I think it's important for you all to see/hear those mistakes!
Also the intro has many inversions and chord modifcations. I simplified the numerals. One more thing I want to point out- the Em scale over B can sound fine if you play it fast enough - pretty much anything is passable if you play it quickly. But you really can't build real harmonies off that V chord if you're using the b7 tone, and the more time your ear has to hear the dissonance, the worse it will sound!
I use Ableton Live 10 and Reason 10 (via rewire) together to produce.
A giant thank you to my Patreon supporters. They're the reason I'm able to offer a professional rhythm course at a name-your-own-price model. You can find that here: signalsmusicstudio.com/courses/signal-rhythm-coursā¦
I owe them a lot, and you might too :)

When you started that Dm horde progression around the 5 minute mark, I was fully expecting you to play Sultans of Swing.

I don't write music, I only listen to it, but I feel like every time I watch your channel I get more insight into how music is created, and I really enjoy having that extra level of understanding of the tools that go into composition. Thank you!

That latin jam was so catchy. Would be great if it was relessed as its own song

I'm from Seville, the capital of Andalusia, and this is a great explanation about the andalusian cadence. It's very used in flamenco, but you can also use it in other styles of music to get an exotic sound. It's great that in other parts of the world there are people who are interested in out culture and our music! š

Best music channel on YouTube, far and away. All other ones focus on covers, gear, and flashy clickbait titles while yours literally empowers the player to, not only feel like they can, but give them the tools to play and create anything as well. Someone get this man a million more subscribers.

Youāre great man. You stand out as someone genuinely into music, and actually someone into playing the guitar. Youāre not like so many other YouTubers that are here to push hype around the next new piece of gear. Your sense of humor, and teaching style, make it fun to watch your videos. Keep up the good work as long as you can.

As usual you demonstrate just how easy it can be if you build up your toolkit and practice with it. May thanks. Loved the megaman and zelda vibes

This literally taught me a whole lot on songwriting. I've always known basically chord progressions and even some advanced modulation but I never figured out how to make a whole song by combining everything. Thank you sirrr

Ngl that simple 4 power chord plus the harmonic lead run already got me headbanging.
Old school metal 4 lyfe.

Are you kidding me? I'm from Spain and starting to get into that "my country has an amazing guitar playing tradition" phase every Spanish guitar player goes through and you just drop this? Jake, you are amazing ā¤ļø
Also... that first song you made with the reggaeton beat sounds like 70% of the stuff playing in the radio over here lol

I constantly recommend your channel to people. As an instructor myself, I'm CONSTANTLY coming back here to sharpen my skills and understanding. Thank You Jake, it's made all the difference in my own playing as well as my method of teaching, and all for the better.

God dammit Jake... WHEN will you make a full metal album? PLEEEEEZE! Every time you write a "throwaway lick just for illustration" it's an instant hit with me!
