HOW TO WRITE A SONG IN 7;50

[lily49623]

3:35 VERY FUNNY!!!!!!

[theologynut1]

Sounds like the bridge in Stairway to Heaven. Personally, I use relative minors--three chromatic steps down from your major chord root.

[Epurope]

thanks for all the tips!

but surely you can't create a chart topper in five minutes it takes time or else i probably would have shot out nearly 200 albums by now lol but i haven't even produced one but thanks really there are some good tips in here!

[Tille300]

[frost0813]

You added a chord, dude. The run down and up from Bm-A-G-A-B

[Johnnieluvsazz]

i was trolling for sites where i could find the most out there examples of the current global wave of poor deluded shut-off autistic desperate internet-fueled egotism but I came here by mistake, no this guy's a serious talent, nothing delusional going down here at all, really. ok bye, see ya..

[Sid5002]

[TheDylanson]

Dude that just a chord progression not a song......I may be wrong but I think a song has lyrics,....verses....., a chorus ....maybe a bridge.

[thickerthreat]

[waltribeiro]

@thickerthreat nothing much man. Just started a new website. Search "Lady Gaga Orchestra" and you'll see my work! How you been man?

[brightonboarder]

I bet you anything there wasn't anyone that walked into the room haha. He just likes to look like he has friends

[CianCQ]

@brightonboarder Look at the chat before being stupid like that, k thx bai.

[brightonboarder]

@CianCQ haha. shut the fuck up

[CianCQ]

@brightonboarder Why are you acting like a little bitch? Don't like being wrong and looking like a retard? .

[brightonboarder]

@CianCQ I know I was wrong. haha. I'm not denying that. just why the fuck do you care so much? you have nothing better to do then sit on your ass and troll? Get a life douche.

[CianCQ]

@brightonboarder You tried to troll him like a douche, get what you deserve and shut up.

[brightonboarder]

@CianCQ wtf? where did you come from?

[waltribeiro]

@brightonboarder nah those were my students from Ustream.

[22dixiechick]

I HATE nylon strig guitars

[waltribeiro]

@22dixiechick i like them. its good to switch every once in a while. steel, acoustic, nylon, piano, etc

[codyahernek]

@22dixiechick HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE NYLON!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh! haha. no but they're awesome it's just that no one plays them the way they're supposed to be played.

[codyahernek]

this is pretty good. you should strum a little less violently though lol ;)

[TheAlex209ish]

Ohh bithprod you got burned oh and great vid btw this guy has no idea of what your capable of.

[rameshksharma1]

Guitar helps to first conceptualize song. Again we need lots of instruments to prepare full track.

[waltribeiro]

@rameshksharma1 i kindly disagree. some of the most moving pieces of music has been a singer and his/her voice. there's beauty in simplicity

[coloterea97]

Okay, i dont play guitar, but that sounded like your guitar needed to be tuned.

[waltribeiro]

@coloterea97 probably right. i was usually in a rush to make these videos for you guys

[waltribeiro]

@coloterea97 yea it did

[JYUkulele]

@coloterea97 No, it was all good.

[MrRobWrong]

can you not hear? your "guitar" is out of tune...

you know what (tune) is right? oh... apparently not.

bit of advice, put your ego away, stop yapping, then maybe you will start to hear music. this comes in handy when making it.

[waltribeiro]

@MrRobWrong thanks rob

[tkdbender]

your not serious, Are you? this is a joke?

[rat7039]

f7 and bflat minor do not work in c

[waltribeiro]

@rat7039 anything works in any key. depends how you work it

[surfz247]

Too much theory.... not a enough song.

[waltribeiro]

@surfz247 my bad

[micmoable]

to listen to one of my original songs go to  MY CAT SONG "TOMBOY" folks usually seem to like it whenever I play it at various place including songwriter's nights

[bretmann900]

i'm sorry this isn't the 60's you need to get a new guitar...

[xGuitaRxxHer0x]

What the hell key are you trying to play in...This is terrible

[ElectricHarvest]

This guy talks way too much to make any sense to a beginner

[waltribeiro]

@ElectricHarvest my bad

[smartlamppost]

So this is how the black eyed peas have so many hits!

[waltribeiro]

@smartlamppost haha

[hobbsyboi02]

or you could just write a song by using your ears seeing what sounds good..

[waltribeiro]

@hobbsyboi02 yea

[XxRAINBOWxXPONIESXx]

lol parker no Q chords xD



[sid1258]

if you could write songs in 5 minutes

wich you didnt if you write a song so quick it will not come out that good

when your making a song you have to take your time on it

and make it good as possible check it from top to bottom

not just make 2 or 3 liricks repeat them some idiots buy your album

and you laugh all the way to the bank it doesnt work that way.

[77wildguy]

this is so gay

[NPC919]

My mate goes by music theory, and I swear he's forgotten how to use his ears. If it doesn't go by the book, it doesn't sound good according to him. Almost all of the music he writes these days is generic chord progressions laden with 7 chords. I can't hear any feel from this guy at all.

[gtMocha47]

Talk about irony! It says "How to Write a Song in 5 MINUTES" and it took almost 8 minutes. lol

[waltribeiro]

@gtMocha47 8 minutes to explain. 5 minutes to write.

[ambarnag]

maybe change the title to "how to write a chord progression in 8 mins" 'cos creating a song is much harder than just creating a chord progression...

[brightonboarder]

how the fuh do you play while you hold your guitar that way??? I tried for like 2 minutes.

[waltribeiro]

@brightonboarder no idea.

[darkkristian22]

how do u know it wants to go to a b-flat, maybe it wants to go to the mall, or Q SHARP!!!!!!

[waltribeiro]

@darkkristian22 maybe!

[son1c82]

walt you look like a cop.

[TheAlebandro]

@son1c82 That's so weird that's exactly what I thought.

[waltribeiro]

@son1c82 pull over!

[12alex2]

0:43.........damn

[xthantos]

This isnt a song...You showed us that you can strum 4 chords??? And the 7th isnt going to fit well with any modern sounding songs. This is a really good example of how to NOT write a song.

[meuzak]

Nice job Walt. I like that blend of chords. Nice creation man.

[waltribeiro]

@meuzak i like your kind words meuzak!

[amyloisegarbutt]

i can't do this BUT I CAN DO IT ON A KEYBORD "!

[waltribeiro]

@amyloisegarbutt sweet!

[NerrissCullen]

u called ur vid how to write a song in 5 minutes, so why is ur vid 7 mins??

[waltribeiro]

@NerrissCullen have to teach it to you

[kyrash3ridan]

your reallllyy good :)

[waltribeiro]

@kyrash3ridan i bet so are you!

[rameshksharma1]

strumming scattered, you need to smoothen rytheming a bit.

[waltribeiro]

@rameshksharma1 really?

[fr33t0killy0u]

when he started playing like 9 people left

[waltribeiro]

@fr33t0killy0u they probably went to go write a song

[Spikehead777]

Q chord ftw.

[wickedcrazy3304]

@Spikehead777 hahaha that comment made my day!!! hahahaha

[i8b4]

Ur terrible.

[waltribeiro]

@i8b4 i don't see you making 300 videos helping people with music.

[aguitarslife]

with my ass, i do better music

[waltribeiro]

@aguitarslife cool. i wanna hear it. but you won't send it. i know you won't. you talk big game. that's all you do.

[aguitarslife]

First, tunne your guitar

second, don't use imagination

you're a fucking disaster

[amyloisegarbutt]

@aguitarslife your face is a disaster

[aguitarslife]

@amyloisegarbutt show me yours

[Zerrith]

How to string a bunch of random sounding chords together.. Although I do find it interesting that he accidentally ripped off Stairway To Heaven at 5:08

[thetuftster]

almost every chord is a key change

[iPhoneLuvin4Realz]

this sounds like shit lol no offense

[benjiman46]

Niiiiicely tuned guitar!!! :-s

[MrAmericanbadboys]

when he did the f7 he messed the song up

[mbeat28]

its all too formulaic. why stand on rules regarding where chords should go? i just play until something comes out. its probably because i dont know what i'm playing!

[waltribeiro]

@mbeat28 good call

[sarahbelle3010]

it took 7 minutes to make this song.. not 5 minutes.. and a song contains more than just crappy cords... how bout some lyrics???

[waltribeiro]

@sarahbelle3010 sure. do it.

[christenstjohn]

nice vid man!

[jazzoidz]

...

[AlbondigasDeMierda]

I dont know Ingles, JELP ME!

[orioneriksen]

Music school is but a tool in a musician's toolbox, we are not limited to using only a hammer.

[waltribeiro]

@orioneriksen true

[mikamiller2008]

Nobody makes good music in 5 minutes. Enough said.

[waltribeiro]

@mikamiller2008 totally disagree

[RRyyNNee]

WTF?

[waltribeiro]

@RRyyNNee questions? ask

[j0c0b]

Hey man, are you slightly deaf or what...?

What's the point in shouting out your knowledge ? ;-)

[waltribeiro]

@j0c0b just happy to teach

[SkywriteProdux]

I love it! You are pumped up like I am to talk songwriting. And 5 minutes! Just like John Rzeznik wrote IRIS for City of Angels in 5 minutes. Wow! Keep rockin!

skywriteprodux.tumblr.com



[panhead1219]

Notes are nutz! if ya wanna make a song just have at it, and make noise that pleases you! Do NOT follow rules by that schmuck!

[Nagraath]

That was horrible..

[Shabalabahunt]

Should have been called how to write a song in 7 mins 50 secs!!

[waltribeiro]

@Shabalabahunt should have been called how to teach to write a simple song in 8 minutes, so others learnhow to write one in 5 minutes

[AllthingsChrist]

changing keys isnt that great, btw moteef is the fancy word if you didnt know.

[waltribeiro]

@AllthingsChrist motif

[13crusiej]

the F and the A# killed it.

[waltribeiro]

@13crusiej i disagree

[skaplis]

thats not a song, thats just a chord progression.

btw your guitar sounds pretty bad

[AllthingsChrist]

@skaplis a chord progression for a song!!!!

[waltribeiro]

@skaplis i know

[RENDUI]

i wrote better songs than that...with three weeks of starting guitar...ur getting lazy dude.

[waltribeiro]

@RENDUI cool. i wanna hear it
