i make beats already and have tried making R&B beats, but im not sure how to structure them. for example hip hop songs are 8 bars for chorus/hook and normally 16 bars for the chorus. how do i structure R&B beats?
 
It's usually arranged very similar to a hip hop beat but with a bridge for the 3rd verse and sometimes pre choruses before the hooks. R&B also seems to start with the verse more often then hip hop, but majority still goes right into the hook at the start. If your tempo is slow around 60-70bpm then use 8 bar or 12 bar verses, if it's mid tempo 80-100 then use 16 bar verses.
 
tmicbeats thank you so much ive ask a simulator question on two different places on this site.But i guess people just dont like me.LOL ..no joke i really feel that way.But any way thanks for breaking down R&B for us.
 
You gotta get into a certain style of music to really master it. Just listen to alot of r&b as a metal head guitarist would strictly listen to nothing but death metal
