help me write a melody!
on: July 06, 2005, 08:08:06 PM
i think this is a good idea for a beginning of a new-age song;
i'm full of ideas for songs, but when it comes to melodies, i'm a total idiot.
i'll record everything - planning classic guitar, piano, maybe clarinet, drums (or not), violin (it will sound awful on my synth), anything else?
i just need a melody. just make it so that it will fit these first measures, then you can think of your own harmony and other stuff.
i'll attach a file and if there is any response, you will attach them too. we'll be breaking the rules, so please keep the files small. i did.

Why don't you make something a wee bit longer, then maybe someone will record a guitar solo over it or something to that effect

Entire pieces can be based on a single chord. As far as a melody. invent a short " hook " work at expanding it into phrases and longer units. Are you familar with melodic variation techniques such as transposition, inversion,expansion, contraction, etc?

no, i'm not. not at all.
i've finished elementary music theory (that is scales, chords, intervals, etc) and i understand, but i'm interested in further studying.

sounds like the beginning of a pop song. could imagine alanis morisette sing while the guitar repeats the same notes
