If you're OK with reading English, I suggest "Writing Music for Hit Songs."

Despite its lame title, it's a fantastic book for learning the kinds of things you're talking about. http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Music-Hit ... 0825672457

If you're talking about keeping the bass note constant, look up "pedal point." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedal_point
Swing is the difference between a drum machine and a sex machine.

Hi and welcome to KVR. Sorry but you'll have to use a smaller signature -- up to 300 pixels wide by 50 tall, no animation.

Excellent example the pedal point...
And you can help my with the question of the vocal part PLEASE !!!


PD. Sorry for the Signature ;D

Thanks for the quick action. *thumbs up*

What chords to put with what vocals is a difficult question to answer.

On the one hand, you can study the subject for years and years and still be learning.

On the other hand, people do this all the time by ear, right? Many examples of huge hits from people in their teens who played guitar and sang along without knowing how to read music. Just from what they soaked in.

So what notes are in the vocal? Maybe we can take an example shot at it.

Yeah that is true...
Then i gona use my ears xD...

For example in the electro house track,many times de Bass-Lead is very plain, and the guitar follow the voice.

But in epic trance... ALL follows the voice xD


So difficult x.x
(Best i gonna play soccer xD)

my ear training teacher would make us do all kinds of assignments off of this website:

http://www.musictheory.net/

it's really good for developing a base knowledge/familiarity with concepts such as major, minor, diminished chords, as well as giving you a pretty simple and functional explanation of some of the simpler aspects of scales, notation, etc...

it's got a few fun easy ear training exercises and tutorials, and its all free, and it's incredibly user friendly.

20 minutes on that sight every day could be very beneficial for a lot of people.

I just finished reading this a few days ago. I disagree, I felt this book had many flaws. I suggest looking for a different one.

For me, his sentence, paragraph, and idea structures were often ill-conceived. Also, his 'fill in the blank' questions were often obtuse and ambiguous(even after re-reading the chapter, and I think I'm a fairly smart guy). It's not all bad, but I felt there's probably better books out there...

*edit, oops. too late by a month.

Also... Nothing beats a real piano teacher.
