what's up everybody is your man jfilt
from how to make very sick beats dot com if
this is your first time welcome and
welcome to the first edition of q-tip
inspired beats let's get into it in the
comments below name the first song that
comes to mind when you hear the name
q-tip since q-tip is a part of a tribe
called quest and if you don't know who
would a Tribe Called Quest is you've been
living under a rock all your life I'm
sorry I don't care if you 12 years old
you need to know who a tribe called
quest is ok now anyway that's coming
from an old head so excuse me for me I'm
gonna go ahead and say bonita applebum
speaking of bonita applebum I want y'all
to pay attention to the bassline on
bonita applebum let's go it's so simple
isn't it it's just first of all that
beat is just legendary legendary so
anyways we're going to use a tip which
is inspired off it is and I'm calling it
the whole tone bass move for a reason
here's some theory here's my bass I got
a bass sound right in 16 levels hey
whenever notes you start on you're going
to go a whole step up or a whole tone up first of all whole step and whole
tone is the same thing some people call
it whole tone some people call it whole
step okay so from here for example from
here to here is a whole tone or or a
whole step right or from here to here so
in other words i'm skipping a pad y'all
see that wherever pad you start on if
you skip one that's going to be a whole
step if i just go one to the next one
that's called a half step alright in
either direction
matter so what we're going to do is
we're going to go whole step up and the
whole set down does it matter where you
start so if I started here and I wanted
to go a whole step up it will be here
right because i'm skipping this skipping
this pad if i wanted to go a whole step
down i will go here right because i'm
skipping one pad got it okay so and I'm
gonna play I'm gonna play along with the
beat and so you can see what I'm talking
about here you go you see what I did I'm
skipping this path to get here and I'm
skipping this pad to get here it's only
three notes so say I wanted to start
right I don't know let's say I started
right here right where would I go I will
go here next I would go see that because
i'm skipping this and i'm also skipping
this up down ok so that's that's a tip
now you don't have to use that rhythm
see this is the key once you get the the
concept you can use whatever reason that
you want to I don't know why I just
started trying to sing but anyway all
right so I'm messin with a beat I'm
gonna give you an example of what I'm
working on right now I got the chords
already
and I'm going to add the pain I got to
find a bass note for it though because
that's the other key thing the chords
should match the bass and I have a video
on how to do that ok so here it is
because actually the course are doing
the same concept actually in this and is
be whole step up or step down here we go
two three notice how i change the rhythm
but i'm still using only three notes
that's it try it out peace and positive
energy so if you like this video hit
