What is the first thing you need to do in order to write a song? The first thing you need to do is to make chord progressions, but for people like me who aren't majoring in music and are self-taught, I think there's a lot of people out there

that don't know what the hell they're gonna do. I've been there. I'm gonna show you two ways to do it. The first is how to use your senses. And the second lesson is how to use music theory. I'm going to divide it into two parts and take the content.

In this tutorial, we'll learn how to use our senses to make chord progressions. So without further ado, let's get started. So here's the first thing you can do when you're writing chords, you can use your senses. It's pretty easy.

It doesn't have to be Mozart music to follow it, and it can create chord progressions very quickly, so it's a very useful method. First, you need to make the bass note make sense. You just need to use one note to make

the progression make sense. The first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna give you an F. Second note, I'm listening to a bunch of stuff. It's pretty when you do it in a D#. I'll take a photo with this.

And then G. And then C. You should use your senses to find the progression of sounds that you like. It's better to take your time. Let's listen to it. What I'm going to do next is drag this Root node and copy it up seven spaces.

If you raise the notes seven times on a piano roll, both notes are now connected to each other by a perfect fifth. So in my triad code (a triad chord) three notes in this chord, what I've got for now is the Root note and the Fifth note.

So let's hear what we've got so far. After that, it's very easy. You just fill the note in the middle. We actually call these third notes. You would see third, fifth, fifth, third, fifth. If you have a good feel for it,

you can just kind of go with your gut and go with your ear. But if you have a good feel for it, you can look at Root and Tail in the previous code. Fill out the mid-notes. All right, let's hear it.

How about that? To show you a little bit more about this, the middle note is on the top three sections of the root note. Then it's minor code. So this is F minor code. This mid-note pad is on the top four of my root notes.

That's major code. That's an E-flat major code right now. So the difference between the root note in the middle and the space in the middle will determine if it's a minor third or a major third. That's a very useful thing to know,

so make sure you remember that. All right. So we've got our triad. The next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to display this out. Voicing means rearranging the components of your chord, just so you know.

Just so you know. Why don't you just take the mid-notes? I'm going to move it up an octave. If it ends with three chords, it won't be fun. Now, we will add the fourth note here, meaning tension.

I think this is where many people get stuck, but I will give you a tip. So what I'm going to do is this fifth note on the first chord. I'm going to make a simple MIDI. After that, it's really easy.

You just go down one at a time and hold it up until you like it. And then, amazingly, there's only one note that you like. Now, instead of putting the fourth note at the top, drop it down an octave. Because the color of this Top Note, 

which is at the very top of the voicing, is the most prominent color, which is Root, Third, Fifth, and Influence, because Third is at the very top of the list because it sounds a lot cleaner and a lot classier.

And just keep experimenting with tension until you get a better progression in your chord. Just take your time and take your time. You need to take your time to get a better sense of progress in your chord. The chord progressions up to this point are beautiful, 

but it's hard to call it a chord track even though it only shows the notes. I will try making a simple chord track with this. First, I'll cut the notes into a quarter note. And then we don't want to allocate the same

rhythm for each chord. I'll make it interesting like this. In the past, we talked about how to make SuperSaw. We're going to add some SuperSaw instruments to this. After that, I'll add the bass with the root note

I made at the beginning. I'll add a kick and snare. Now, let's listen to the chord track that will be the foundation of your song that took less than ten minutes. This time, I showed you how to use your senses

to create a chord progression. It's easier than you think. However, since I have no knowledge of theory and have to rely on my gut feelings, writing songs without knowing what the process is or why I came up with the song is one of the disadvantages.

That's why it's so important for you to see how we can use some of the theories that we're going to cover in the next video. So click subscribe and hopefully you'll get a lot of great producer tips. I'll be back with footage from the second episode.
