Help a new producer get better
so im finally asking this. can some one explain to me like chord progression and scale for making melodies, because reading about it i dont get it and I feel my productions would be better if I learned it (uh duh) I was hoping one of you guys could explain it to me
Just start taking piano lessons, that would honestly be the best way to do it.

Chord progressions is all music theory, and in order to understand chord progressions you need to understand music theory.
OR you can just go get the schwarzonator,
But just because you know about scales and chords doesn’t mean your music will be “better”. There have been tones of tracks over the years were there was really no “chord progression”.
Jimpster, a well know producer, says he gets so caught up in the “music” part of it that he sometimes forgets to just make a cool track and that it’s hard for him to turn that part of his brain off and just focus on making dope shit.
It’s just another tool in the tool box mate, not the end all be all to making tracks.
If you are more of an academic type to learn things, read Rikky Rooksby’s book The Songwriting Sourcebook that has hundreds and hundreds of chord progression examples.
The other approach is just to listen to a lot of good music like the whole Motown catalogue and the Philly hits. If you know those inside out it’s a no-brainer to turn out more good songs.
thank you guys all of you
