...A melody (from Greek μελῳδία - melōidía, "singing, chanting"), also tune, voice, or line, is a linear succession of musical tones which is perceived as a single entity. In its most literal sense, a melody is a sequence of pitch and durations, while, more figuratively, the term has occasionally been extended to include successions of other musical elements such as tone color.

How do I write a melody over How do I know which notes to
start with or end with? Do the
notes of the melody have to
coincide with notes in the
chord being played? Or if I
have a melody, do I have to
use chords that have some of
the same notes as in the
melody? Sometimes I'll write a
chord progression but then I
try to write a melody for it
and the melody follows the
chord progression exactly and
then there's no point in
having the chord progression
if the melody is exactly the
same. Sometimes I'll write a
melody and try to put a chord
progression over top of it but
then the progression mimics
the melody. I've been
listening to songs recently
and trying to analyze them to
see how chords and melodies
fit together, but there's
something that great
songwriters do that I just
cant put my finger on. I
especially admire the Beatles
and Kurt Cobain as
songwriters. Do you know of
any good books or sites about
song writing or melodies or
how to put melodies together
with an accompaniment?

When composing a melody over chords simply use the first and second strings whenever possible and the chords will support it. That way you can play the chords and melody at the same time. On the other hand, using bass notes as a melody can still reinforce the rhythm background of chords. Usually you will use chords that contain the melody note within, but it's not written in stone to do that. Accidental chords, like diminished 7ths, augmented 5ths, and so on, can be played to enhance a melody line. I don't have any books to recommend except experience, trial and error in composing. |

melody along with power
chords? Do I use the major or
minor 3rd in the melody, or as
i'm using power chords, do i
just omit it?

Any of the above--Van Halen, Evanesence, (can't think of one that omits off the top of my head). |
