@majorascurse3631 5 лет назад

For all those that missed it here they are 1. Play a chord progression 2. Make something that sounds alright on piano 3. Combine both step 1 and 2 on guitar using the same notes

@essennagerry 5 лет назад

Thank you, your explanation really made it click. I'm an absolute beginner but at least I did learn what chords are, what a chord progression is, and that the white keys go together, haha, so I understood what you said. I have a guitar and am learning the guitar but I want to buy a piano (digital) too and I'm even more convinced now.

@thebigarchive 5 лет назад

@@essennagerry The white notes go together because both Cmaj and Amin are all thw white keys. So just make sure you emphasize one of the chords because that's your home. Also use that 5th chord.

@alexanderh6606 3 года назад

For everyone who doesn’t get it, Write a bass line Put chords over the bass line Try to pick out notes that go with the bass and chords to write a melody (you could also skip the chord part and go straight to the melody if you’re comfortable) Translate that to guitar (It’s easier if the bass line is simple because then you’d not have to focus on getting the bass notes while you’re trying to figure out the melody
