i write songs and have a melody for them in my head but don't know anythinggg about music lol, thanks for this video!

I write lyrics and sing but have never learnt how to play any instrument so i felt kinda incomplete and didn't know how to make a full song when I cannot make music. Now I try to learn how to do music without the instruments. Thanks for the video.

Well I’d like to learn keyboard as I’d like to make electronic pop, but I’d like to learn by learning the theory and coming up with my own pieces in a raw form

I love your advice. Thanks a lot i write a song without instruments..

I am sooooo glad to found this video! Thank you so much for making this! I really really want to make music with a bunch of lyrics that I’ve made since high school and I’m definitely gonna do as you say (fingers crossed).. oh and btw, you’ve got a new subscriber - hello from Indonesia🙋🏻‍♀️🎉

As someone who can play an instrument but doesn't own one this is really helpful. Tysm for this!

Hi!! I really like your advice, I remember making up songs but forgeting the lurics and no background music but some ofcourse I still remember! YOU MY FRIEND HAVE EARNED A NEW SUBBIE!!!

Thank you. This is what I needed to know, to get started.

It’s kinda weird, I feel motivated asf while listening to metal or fast loud music lol But idk while singing or when I want to just feel lighter, it’s slow for me~~

This is the info I was looking for to create music for retro games I want to create. I can sing worth a damn, but I can write poetry and I know good music. Thanks for the video. BTW Jonathan, you're fabulous.

Jonathan you are so inspiring. I am glad I found your channel.

Thank you for sharing your experience and insight! Your humor and energy are amazing ☺️

Thank you so much for this!! ♡

Thank youuuu, I've been writing songs for 3 years but I don't know how to play an instrument, this helped me out!

you were so so helpful,thank you a lot for this video .

Thank you so much for making this video! Me and my best friend want to be musicians and this helped a lot! You got a new subscriber

I like your video. I started producing music by practicing using music loops. From there I began to play atmospheric Vsts. Through out the years I collected over 47 vsts, and thousands of sounds from purchasing sounds. Some of the sounds I got for free too. I use a few DAWS, but my favorites are Sony Music Studio, Magix Music Maker 2014. I use Magix Music Maker to produce theatrical music. It's good to experiment.

Thank you you answered a lot of questions I had...I just need to double check.. Let's say I've written many songs in my life and have the melodies also .I written blues , tear in your beer country, hard and soft rock and rap songs along with of coarse little ditties. Fear kept me from putting them out there. The one time I did was the greatest experience in my life . Though it was in a holding tank in l.b.ca.waiting to go to court it all fell together perfectly. Going back and forth everyday on the county bus only to be told it's a dry run was getting to me just sitting from dark thirty in the morning till dark. One morning I awoke remembering a song I had written some years back in prison and it wouldn't leave my thoughts. So I get called again for court.the 10x10 square holding benches were packed. It was a diverse group of women.All colors different backgrounds and charges. I've always been the quiet one don't make waves. This morning I stood up looked around and knew there was one thing these women had in common and that it was something that would touch them enough to participate . I stood and started talking..right off the top someone yells shut the fuck up! Someone shut this crazy white girls mouth.why they put the nuts in with us. I just continued on.. OK I'm going to sing this as best that I can though i can't sing and then I want everyone to stand up as the chorus and repeat it And so I belt out What Of The Child ! And they all stood up and did it I dropped down to the ground , rolling, cracking up, laughing so hard I had tears.looking up someone asked did we do it wrong? No ! It was perfect.! There were some of the women going to trial so they were there everyday while I did my dry runs There were generations mothers grandmothers daughters and mothers..i found a couple singers and in that little cell crowded with women over the next few days of changes and practices we put together my song...it would have been such a great music video. Then came the day my charges were dropped and I was walking out... It was the end of me being brave enough to put myself out there... I've kept the words and music hidden away in my heart for 20 years This is just one of many that I need to release. I. Observe the joys and pains of life and lives , the challenges of winning and losing hard times and great time love and heart break s and I think I've written some pretty good songs. This coming from me ,my worse critic. I'm 62 now and don't want to be afraid anymore . I want what I found that time incarcerated ...when I took the opportunity to give myself the gift of me I am worthy as is my music That's about it Keep a good thought Joyce Butler Then my charges were dropped

Life is a pain without music - mirror shadow

Everything you said here was so good and helpful, thank you!

I needed this for my 15 sub special! Thank you! You're a lifesaver

Thanks Jonathan!!

I needed this for a school project. Thanks 😊

You’re great. I’m glad I found this vid

I have garage band but don't know if I'm allowed to use the premade loops in my own songs 😅 Thanks for the video, so helpful. Been wondering what DAW stands for 😂

If I could play an instrument, it would be an acousting guitar. I have tried several times and failed over the years because I've never set enough time aside to put in the effort of learning it. The reason I'd like to be able to play it, is because I am just in love with the simplicity yet complexity of the instrument and how it sounds. It's just something about an acoustic guitar that draws my attention.

Thank you so muchh. This is like the perfect tutorial! Again Thank you!

This is so much helpful. Thanks a lot! New subscriber here

Well, i really wanted this video, thanks man.

i am so thankful that i found this video ,i really want to make music but dont know what to do but cuz of you thankyouuu!!

I am just 15 people around me tell I am good at singing so I started writing a few songs. It just always felt wrong . I felt maybe I should just not think about becoming a singer just because I was not capable of playing even a single instrument and how to compose a song. Thanks for your guidance the way you explain is so simple and easy to understand.

This videos really sparked something in my brain. Somehow tik tok lead me here 😂 thank you for the info 🤔 also, to answer your question, i have always been called to the accordion 🌿 it's always been a dream ✨

If I could play an instrument I’d play Cello… but I also have harmonicas and a slightly-broken kalimba I never touch, so maybe I should start with those.

The moment he said impossible no. I knew this guy is awesome ❤❤

is there a program that I can hum into and then change my voice into an instrument? cuz i need thaaaat

Very inspiring!

i needed this. I was learning how to play a guitar for the sake of creating a graduation song then the strings broke and we dint have the time to fix it. tyy

Interesting, I have no idea how to play an instrument and somehow my beats have gotten better lol but I do plan on learning so I can come up with melodies more easily.

One day I'll think of singing a song! Like my own, but I have no instruments . So this video is helpful!

Thanks ❤❤❤

Thank you for the information brother 😊 I have writed songs but I don't know how to compose music 🎶 can you give a deep information about music in another video.

idk why but the tambourine seems so fun my kindergarten teachers played it to calm kids down and i just wanna play it

Thanks sir.

As someone who doesn’t know where to start, thank you 🙏🏼

What app should i use?

I can play guitar but idk if a song with only guitar would really work, so thank you 😭

I’m trying to learn guitar, and I wanna learn piano. But I really wanna write songs and I don’t know very many notes on the guitar. So I’ve been trying to figure out how to make music without an instrument 😃

Does it work on phone?

I wanted to play a guitar 🥺

Hi Jonathan- I came across this video as I’m trying to figure out a way to go about expressing these thoughts in my head. You are definitely the one to go to for this but idk, I just find the midi/computer setup to be a bit tedious. I really would like to use hardware but does this limit me?

What music software do you use or recommend?

When I get a melody. Does that then become the lyrics or the beat of the song if that makes sense. Like do i sing the lyrics to the melody or does the somg I create follow the melody and theories have a different sound altogether ?! Xx

I'm currently trying to write my first song, it's a love song, and I'd kill if I could be able to play the violin for it, but I can't.

You did not really show how, how do you work with Midi notes and make sure you are in the right key and not adding weird notes???

I love how this Joy Division beat going over it.

I have a little bit of a problem with making the melodies now- my kind keeps taking melodies from other songs as I'm.trying to write and so all together it just songs like those songs with different lyrics- does anyone have any suggestions for that??

When I was a kid everyone around me started rapping. I wanted to make music too. But they wouldn't let me. When I asked why I couldn't join them they said "because you're g*y David. We don't make ga* music David." ..... So I taught myself. I'm still learning. And still making music. Meanwhile they're enjoying parenthood, prison, or even death for a couple of them. My former friends. I got love em for em still, but I don't associate with em anymore.

Hlo Sir Love u Can you Make a Video on How to Make a Cover Song in 10 or 5 steps plzzz

Either keyboards or guitar

Hello, I really love EDM I've always wanted to create some, but I don't have any musical knowledge in terms of playing instruments. I understand the steps of making music but I can't play instruments. I have a friend that plays instruments, do you think he can help me make my sound to life? I'm asking this because most of EDM blown artists always perform on stage as a dj or making live instruments, what if got blown, how will I perform on stage especially if I wasn't the one that make the instrumental or vocal.

No bc I have a melody in my head but idk how to,layer an instrument over 😭

I am someone who actually draws a lot and is practicing animation, but I want to learn how to compose music (nothing too hard, since I only have a few ideas), there is this one sing I want ti deducate to my dad (don't take it as a good thing. The reasons are not good) but I wanna do it properly which is why I am here. Anyone else who is already an artust in another field and is here cuz "I need more than one skill >:)"?

I just write lol

After watch a KZfaq video how much percentage of people subscribe your channel plz tell me because Damian Keyes said that after watching his videos 40 percent people subscribed.Plz Reply With A Good Answer

Yes yes everything you say yes.....I'm musically inclined and lyrical but I'm a jack of all trades when it comes to instruments.... talented at many master of none....but not great or even go at any.....I just want to put them together....

I play instruments and honestly think one of the best ways to write is going without. Using Logic/loops etc. Like you said, you can learn as you go when doing it! Such great advice! :)

Oo

I just want to make music for myself not to post it so thats so helpful thank youu🥰

Does neilson collects data from KZfaq Lyric Video

You sound like Oli London 😂 (sorry for this)

Anybody interested to collab with me? I can sing and write lyrics...I cant produce music though.

Who's here in 2024?
