Chords come with all sorts of easy rules about how you're supposed to string them together, but when it comes to writing a nice line to go on top of it, oftentimes it seems like you're just supposed to pick random notes and hope they sound good. And honestly, once you get into the habit you are kinda doing that, but if you feel like your melodies are falling a bit short, there's a few things you should try paying attention to, like melodic shape, note functions, and phrasing! <a href='https://www.patreon.com/12tonevideos' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Patreon</a> Mailing <a href='http://eepurl.com/bCTDaj' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>List</a> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/12tonevideos' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Facebook</a> <a href='https://twitter.com/12tonevideos' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Twitter</a> Email: 12tonevideos@gmail.com <a href='https://youtu.be/js0AGmB8Z4E' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Last</a> Intervals <a href='https://youtu.be/heRleAas0lY' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>video</a> Functional Harmony <a href='https://youtu.be/Ot_lbUcb-uE' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>video</a> Ending Songs <a href='https://youtu.be/Zdcqbc4sZMQ' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>video</a> Motifs <a href='https://youtu.be/cT05-mrSnhg' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>video</a> Huge thanks to our gold-level Patreon supporters: Ron Jones Jill Jones Susan Jones Howard Levine Elaine Pratt Ken Arnold <a href='https://www.youtube.com/user/jerom09666' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Nakarin</a> Mark Yachnin And thanks as well to Henry Reich, José N., Logan Jones, Eugene Bulkin, Jody, Abram Thiessen, Anna Work, Oliver, Jc Bq, Adam Neely, Jon I, David Zahara, nico, Mark Himmelberger, and Chris Borland!
