In this video I took a deep dive on counter melodies with three different examples all across the energy spectrum. I tried my hand at answering the questions of what are counter melodies, why counter melodies matter, and how to make counter melodies. I really do believe a good counter melody is the secret sauce to making your music more memorable, more dynamic, and more professional. This video was inspired by a request I received on my last video, so let me know in the comments if you have any questions or if there's anything you want to see me cover in a future video! Also, let me know which beat was your favorite! Did you like the guitar lofi song? What did you think of my FIRST EVER drill beat? (lmaoo) How about the "almost soul" sample at the end?
Seriously though, thank you guys for all of the support so far, I'm really happy to see that my videos are helping some of you guys out on your own musical journeys. Hit that subscribe button to join this little music making community we're getting started in our own corner of the internet (:
