Hello head-banging people.

I’m a hip hop producer and I want to share something very neat(yeah I said neat) with you. First off let me start by saying that I am in no way an expert on music theory. But I felt like it was important for me to learn the foundations of chords, how to build them. Obviously if you dabble in modern music production you know that getting that right succession of chords is what will make an instrumental bump.

Let me tell you guys that after learning(and when I say “learning” I mean really applying myself and writing shit down) some music theory, my compositions got a lot better, my rhythm got a lot better and I can now actually read a piano sheet.

Before you think I’m bullshitting you let me ask you: What key is your last instrumental in? Does your instrumental have an intro, a verse part, a chorus and an outro? If you can’t answer this questions then you don’t really know what you are playing and your production takes more time than it should. When you start learning the relationship between major scales and minor scales, how chords are formed off that, how to come up with a bridge part(learning that right now), etc. you are going to take your composition to the next level and actually have people feel the emotions you want them to without relying on drums that much.


Peace.
