I’ve always wanted to make music. I just got a laptop for Christmas and no matter how many YouTube videos I watch, I cannot for the life of me put chord progressions over drums. Or create any chord progressions for that matter.. I feel like while I’m watching these vids it’s more of me just copying them rather than them teaching me. I can create okay drums for a beginner but once it hits that chord and melody part my brain just turns into mush and it de motivates me. I will say I do hav trouble with the drums but I kinda just throw some stuff down and end up with putting something together. Any tips would be helpful. I try to watch as many YouTube videos as I can but it’s hard because I can’t ask questions or as for elaboration. I’m going for apharell/neptunes production type while also attempting to have my own sound! Any help is appreciated, thank you!!
