Community Challenge 25 | Write a melody over one chord (Patreon)

Hi Everyone,

The assignment this week is a little more specific: write a melody over one chord!

I was inspired by the Community Song Analysis Challenge Rock Steady, because the verse is mainly a one-chord vamp. Stevie Wonder's Superstition also has a verse with just one chord!

For this assignment, you're free to write a whole song where one section (either verse, chorus, intro, etc) only contains one chord with a melody over the top.

This melody could be a riff or a melodic line. As long as there is a melody (something like ABAC) over a progression that consists of one chord in some section of the song, you're doing it right!

The only rule is to write something new after reading this post! Post what you write on the community forum.
