Teach you how to write popular songs and music

In fact, popular songs are very easy to write. If you want me to write a melody, I can give you more than a dozen things in a day. I have no professional training either. As long as you have a little bit of sound and sound knowledge, after reading my experiences, I will write better than him and get more than him (of course, I will also shirk it sometimes, that's because I wrote the lyrics too much! Qu ). However, I don't think professional training is required to write some popular koushui songs. Some people say that these things are terrible. I agree that they are indeed (most of them are), but if they are really written, they can earn pocket money. Now I want to write some of my experiences in writing pop songs, mainly about the application and implementation of chords. In fact, this is the most important thing. The music is coming out. Let's talk about too many orchestrations here (but after all, there will be a little bit, because sometimes the music and the arrangement are associated ).

Some examples are provided to illustrate the problem and comparison. They are all in C major or a minor.

As a matter of fact, when I hear too much, I will write down what people do and practice more. Now let's talk about things with some examples.

Now I will list several very frequently-used chords, especially those from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea.

1. C-am-f-g. I'm not saying that this is the only way to do it in the whole song, but if you want to write a popular punk song, that's enough. Of course this is not dead, it is possible that you will become a C-Am7-Dm7-G7 at the time of preparation. But this can be a basic skeleton. The same is true for what we will talk about later. Let's take it for granted that the bass is a i-6-4-5. In fact, in the past this is usually a i-6-2-5, because the 6-level chord is exactly level 2 of the chord, level 2 chord is exactly Level 5 of the genus, and then back, because Level 5 is a level 1 chord.
For example, hero of Andre Enrique Iglesias must have heard of it all ). This song is just two paragraphs. I remember it was like a gcall. As mentioned above, I changed it to a C call to better illustrate the problem. The first part of the process is the repetition of the C-am-F-G, right?

2. Am-F-C-G. If you like AI weier, then you can use this to write a few replay songs, and you will immediately throw her disk into the garbage box (I won't, I will sell it later, haha ), because she uses this in almost every song, so does all you wanted of Michelle Branch. However, in any case, this operation is indeed very common. This is also the replay of the going under of evanescence.
Also, sometimes there are a lot of F-G-C with AM-F-C-G, with AM-almost popular. For example, f. I .r's Lydia (it's good enough, but I don't think it's a bad song ). This is used in Part 3 of the climax.

3. f-g-C. This process is very common in RegEx. For example, the first part of a major C is C. When the music develops to the climax, it starts with a level 4 chord. There are too many examples. For example, Li Lin's mistake. The RegEx part is F-G-C-C7-F-G-C -...
There are also a lot of places to use DM-G-C-..., that is not just to write the climax of the part, in the Transition Section is more often used.

4. Bass scale! This is an important rule. The most commonly used is i-7-6-5, so it can be C-G-F-G, C-em-F-G, C-em-DM-G and so on... sometimes you can also i-b7-6-5, then the chord can be a C-C7-F-G, C-BB-F-G, etc., if the scale is a i-7-b7-6 -... it can be c-g-BB-F, C-CM7-C7-F and so on... another scale is also very commonly used. It can be used to add a lot of colors to you: 6-#5-#4-4, so you can use am-C #-C-D-F (D can also be replaced with # FDIM) sometimes not completely half scale, 6-5-#4, this is the most common, usually use Am-Am7-Fm7b5 (that is, am6 index), this can give the song a ups and downs of the feeling, usually used in a fast end of the place, do not believe to try.

There are too many other types, and you can create combinations on your own. Some are not the most commonly used, but some nice songs are actually used. There is a country song in the United States, just out of the Lonestar let & #39; s be us again, if changed in C tune, then the chord of the replay song is G-Dm7-Am-F-G...
Some people may say that I know all these things. Are you actually using them in your own songs? I think it will be a real success. Most of the time, it is not easy to remember the theory and learn to apply it. What I wrote is not a theory, and it is only some of my experience, or, this is how I understand the theory and apply it to my songs.
