what's everybody its your man JFilt
from howtomakeverysickbeats.com if this is
your first time
hello and welcome to Nujabes inspired
beat making techniques so lets get into it
in the comments below what is the first
thing you think of when you hear the
name nujabes now I'm expecting a lot of
answers because this is probably the
most requested video inspiration beat
series i've been asked a man of the
people
so here we go in this video I want you
to pay attention
oh yeah let me answer the question myself
for me I have to say battlecry you know
that that's from the cartoon samurai
champloo and I wish they will bring that
series back anyway speaking of
battlecry I want you to listen to this
joint and pay attention to the piano
part let's go
did yall hear that it sounded like
somebody was messing around on the piano
just like the little cluster notes like
someone just playin but aye it sounds
super super dope and i'll tell you what
that is it's called a major second so we're
gonna apply that to our own beat
inspiration do this in your own way it's
all about concepts so i have a sample
right here
ok so the key to all of this i'm going
to tell you is knowing the key of the
sample now when we heard the battlecry
beat we know that was in the key of D
and I don't know if he was thinking this i'm
just giving you the science of it and
I'll prove it
listen see how that matches so a major
second is this simply this so whatever
key you're in you go 2 notes over
and you play them together another
example
yeah the other thing he did was he played
another cluster this so you've got two
clusters right how do you figure this one out
if this is your key which D you go up
to do a major scale you're hitting the 4th
and 5th note of that major scale ok so
you've got one two three four five and
then you can do octaves go an octave higher
and thats it now let's transfer this to the pads now
I'm in a different key
ok so this is actually by the way
that came straight off of Very Sick Keys 1
shameless plug
okay so check out this is a sample note
that i actually sample right off my
keyboard so this is my notes single note
and i sampled myself from the keyboard
playing the major second and another one
and another one and another one I so now
here's the other thing you can do if you
don't want to play it say you don't you
know you don't want to play like that
you can use 16 levels right and play
like this and there's my major second
see the pattern about it looks like
there's one pad in between both notes
that no matter what not you started on
that there has to be another pad in
between those notes so if you started
here you would have to do this because
you're going here you're skipping this
one to go here if you start here it will
be here you get the
pattern so let's go back and play it
with the beat
you know what I'm saying something like that
you can do it that way or back like I
just did do random rhythms it does not
matter you do what you want to do not
copying but just doing your own way
using the concepts lets go
try it out peace and positive energy so
