is your first time welcome and welcome
to edition number 4 q-tip inspired beat
techniques so let's get into it in the
comments below
shutout your city I always like to see
where you guys are watching these
youtubes from represent ok in this video
I want you guys to pay attention to one
of the most sickest tribe called quest beats ever
assembled in my personal opinion and I
want you to pay attention to the long
sustaining note that you'll hear you
probably already guessed it let's go
right right it's just one long
sustaining note so anyway here's the
technique use a sustaining note for all
your chords meaning if you have several
chords let the top note be one constant
note and it will still work and I'm
going to give you an example right now
I'm going to use my ebook okay
the chords im about to play right now
actually it's right here right here
of chords imma play come right out
of this book if you don't know what this
book is it's called the piano chord
progressions okay I've been getting a
lot of good feedback off of this so if
you don't have it cop it okay so anyway
shameless plug here's my top note I got
this vocal this vocal sound right and
I'm going to play three chords all three
chords have this top note and I'm
looking straight off of this book it's
telling me what to play I see the
hands and the notes highlighted I'm just
going to play what I see in the book
okay so the first chord is like this F
sharp major nine chord next chord is
gonna be a B minor 7/9 alright and the
last chord just a straight C sharp minor
chord okay so you notice the top note C
sharp is held the whole time so I'm
gonna make a beat just off of that using
this the same note and I'm recording
right now here we go I'm on pro tools
let's just record this here we go one
two ready and
one sustaining note let me play that
back I'll play it just so you can hear
this is the note that I'm holding here
we go you hear that a sustained note and
it works for all those chords because
that note is in all those chords for
this progression try it at home and it
doesn't have to be those chords you can
use this whatever chord that you want to
be honest with you as long as the top
note is the same note through all those
chords and you could apply this to the
pads use 16 levels and whatever chord
that you have you know I don't know I
just did those sound effects you just
play those chords and make sure each
chord has the same top note okay the
third option you can do is use records
or samples vinyl whatever you tube and
find a sample that has chords with the
same sustaining top note you can find a
lot of that in jazz you know like the
horn players is holding one long note
you can do that or a singer that happens
to hold it long note just like Minnie
Riperton did and there you go try it out
