cool vid

[Andrehen2]

i reckon cliffs of dover sum this lesson up perfectly. Just constantly referencing the same melodies some an octave up or slightly changed. The best melodies are the ones u listen to the whole song hoping it will happen again.

hey dave, great videos. so we can take some intervals from a scale and make it into a melody? can we also use chord tones to make a melody? can anyone answer my questions? Thanks.
