For chord writing: What i recomend you guys to do is download a favorite song with as few instruments as possible and a clear main instrument. I used Rihannas song - Stay. Then import that into daw. Then i put repeat region on for each chord pattern the song has and put on solo. Then i try to imitate each and every note each chord has by ear until i completed writing off the entire song by ear! - You can do it to! Its called Ear Training & is extremely useful! 👍

Tips for music making: don’t be afraid to go out of scale. There also is no right or wrong to music making. My favorite type of chords to end a progression are the c suspended and then g major, which kind of gives it that sort of Disney movie vibe.

Guys, remember that it's also important whether or not your progression is moving down or up in pitch. A chord progression that moves down causes the listener to feel sadder since the progression imitates a sigh and lack of hope. On the contrary, when your progression moves upwards, the feeling of happiness and motivation is underlined :D

it's so crazy how these smaller content creators can make really good stuff like this, it's real helpful, probably great for people experiencing writer's block as well

I-vi-V-IV prolly my favourite happy and poppy chord progressions, it sounds heavenly when played on a guitar with some chucks and mutes.

Alex makes me so happy. Keep it up!

Great stuff! Although I'm no beginner when it comes to chord patterns, the TONIC note and the importance of that is something I had very little understanding of. I always take away at least one songwriting/production technique away from your videos regardless of whether I'm a beginner, average user, or advance in the subject. Thanks for what you do, Alex!
-
I think that I - vi - iii - V is an interesting progression since it sounds sad but is also in a major key. The Weeknd uses this on Save Your Tears and it just sounds so good

Alex Rome The Goat!! Thank you for always making interesting videos!
