welcome to the Shred zone this lesson is
about how to harmonize a melody
using the greatest melody of all time
 twinkle little star I'll attempt
to make clear a topic shrouded in
mystery now why the hell would you care
about harmonizing the melody when it's
all about shredding like a beast and the
answer is because you'll sound really
good but I already kick so much butt it's
ridiculous
by understanding harmony you can go
directly to the most bitchin sounds
instead of being subject to trial and
error now that's what we want yeah a
melody note can be the first third or
fifth of the chord don't worry you'll be
happily harmonizing away in no time
women will crumble at your feet and
friends will give you all their money
sometimes I feel like he's lying to me viking horns
 so basically you just take a note and then slap some notes down...behind it there...yeah. Ah that's good
ok hope you learned
a lot these lessons are really going
downhill so we're gonna harmonize the
note C. C is going to be either the
first the third or the fifth note in the
chord if C is the first note in the
chord then it's going to be a C chord if
C is the third note in the chord then we
count backwards in the musical alphabet
three notes see that makes it a minor if
C is the fifth note in the chord then we
count back five notes from C...C, B, A, G, F
which gives us an F chord what in the
f***? if that seems confusing to just
give up sell yourself into slavery
you'll never make it you get it though
but you probably won't but I think you
just might that lesson was ridiculous
let's talk about harmonizing melodies
this is extremely terrifying I don't
like being terrified
we'll use the melody twinkle twinkle
little star in the key of C to make a
major we'll use the chords 1, 4, 5, or C, F,
and G
to make it minor we'll use the chords a
minor D minor and E minor
it seems I've lost the twinkle in my eye
the point I'm trying to make here is you can
package a melody in many different settings try using this in your own
songwriting and make a million dollars
