How to make catchy melodies using "Rhythm Recycling"

Music Help and Techniques - Here's a really easy one to use, although it may require just a tad bit of either aural training or music theory training (sshhh...don't tell anyone, but they are actually the same thing x_x). Thanks again for watching, I hope that this will help, and feel free to ask questions as you have them.

Nice melody, It sounds like a zelda type thing. I find that both lydian and dorian both work really well for zelda type things.

@kratanuva725 Well Dorian is the relative Minor for Lydian

Yes. Exactly. One day I couldn't find my keys. and of course I said "Where the hell my Keys At?" (terrible grammer, I know) But I came up with a really catchy melody for a southern HipHop track starting from the syllables from that sentence.. . I ended up getting a licensed placement on an MTV episode with that beat.

Can you be more specific, claudioaudio?

If I understand you correctly, you take the rhythm of a random sentence and use that as the rhythm for your melody?  Is that what you meant?

Thanks for the video, MarkHansAvon! Very cool.
