what's up everybody its your man jfilt from howtomakeverysickbeats.com if this is
your first time welcome and welcome to another edition of Erick sermon inspired
beat techniques so let's get into it in the comments below
shout ouy what month you was born in or your sign since we're in June shout-out to
the Gemini's okay so in this tutorial I want y'all to listen to this beat im bout
to play another beat produced by Erick sermon and pay attention to the piano
chords let's go y'all
thought Tupac and Dre did it first nah
and actually EPMD wasn't the first one to do it either but they did this
back in 89 so anyway here's the technique this is so simple so so simple
and shout out to Tupac by the way RIP new movie that just came out anyway
we're using 4ths and very simple I have a single note if you're on the pads I'm
gonna show you both ways hey if you want pads or on keys so I'm
going to show you on the pads first okay so if you on pads you got a
single note throw that joint in 16 levels right you're gonna go up a
diagonal up diagonally like that that that is 1/4 so now you can go right no
matter where you start just go up towards the right diagonal right that's
easy that's easy 4th right let's play along with it and so I'll show y'all
see that okay let's say you on the keys let's
say we just pick a random note right let's go is it go with C right and the
fourth from C is this note because you're counting four notes up from
the scale one two three four but let's say we started on this note and do the
same thing figure out the major scale for that key and go up four notes one 2 3 4
so thats a 4th so it doesn't matter let's say you on this key count up four notes of
that scale first you got to make you guys figure out the major scale of each
key and if you don't know how to do that check out my free free basic piano
course and it teaches you all this stuff okay one two three four
so you can use these 4ths to your advantage so what I did was I sampled
that I just played a chord right and then I sampled that so let's go back to
the MPC so back to Mingus here we go here it is that's a sample so all I did
was sample from the keys and use this now I can use this and throw that in 16
levels so now I'm going to simply just play one note or one pad using the same
chord and transposing it and do whatever you want to do with it so I got a beat
and I can do something like this I mean something I'll just I'm just lolly gaggin
so you know use that to your advantage 4ths that's called a fourth chords
using 4ths that's the technique fourth interval so basically you're using the
concept based off a sample shout out to Joe Cocker pause anyway peace and
