In this video, I'll be showing you the best way to get better at making melodies and chord progressions. Learning the major and minor scales of every key, plus the chords that are in each key is essential when it comes to progressing as a music producer. I've found that after one month of practicing these for 5-10 minutes a day, it's been easier to get inspired or get started on tracks.
This video is sponsored by Novation.
