The Easiest Way To Harmonize A Melody 

I could really listen to you just playing nice chords and talking all day.

'(...) we're making musical things instead of just playing the scales for the sake of playing the scales' And I think this is why I love your tutorials so much! You give us all that knowledge, but together with a little guide on how to actually apply that knowledge; showing us the context and application really makes me wanting to replicate and try it myself. Thank you!

From what I've taken from your previous tip video on creating a chord progression with a melody I've come to exactly the point/phase mentioned in this video, which is deciding which chords I wanna use and through practices I then memorize the shapes and build on my own set of patterns/rules. It's real fun practicing these things while having phrasing and dynamics in mind, imho playing with both melody and chord harmony is the only way especially for solo guitarists who got no friends playing instruments or know how to program backing tracks or drums.

youtube recommended me the "Chord Progression Secret: MELODY FIRST" video and i was a little confused but sort of understood the concept, and then the next auto play recommendation was this and i understand it a lot better now, so thanks for this :D

perfect timing i need this like rn lmao

Yeah great day, sturday morning eating some cereal and watching trevor wong

if you needed to write a baseline underneath a progression using this method, how would you do so ? would you need to follow the roots of the chords?

You're videos are amazing OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH

This is great info! After all these years I'm starting to understand this. Watched a ton of videos and yours filled some holes for me. Thanks! More insight please.

If the melody is in a certain key, then use functional harmony to drive the chords. But to keep things simple, without theory, just find the pentatonic scale in that key and choose chords from that scale so you have fewer but nicer options fo choose from. Say your melody is C D E, in the key of C major, then the pentatonic scale is C D E G A, and you can use C Dmin Amin, or C G Amin, or Dmin G Amin, etc. you can also explore other pentatonic scales with one note of a difference, like F major (F G A C D) or G major (G A B D E). And remember C maj pentatonic scale = A min pentatonic scale so that's what you want for a minor melody line

Thank you so much! Great video!

Thank you so much for this video!

I hope this solves the question what to do when you have some unusual chord proggression

thank you this was a interesting video

Trevor, you rule. I appreciate the practical advice. How do you decide which notes to use make up your chord? For example are you targeting a certain interval in relation to the root of the chord?

Thanks!!!!!!

excelent video!

Thanks 😀

🔥🔥💪

Cool bro

Gamechanger.

Thank you

Your a g mane thx ❤️

Finally new ways to harmonize

nice

Can someone shed some light into what an upper note actually means? I’m almost getting what he’s saying here but not really sure what upper note means.

At about 3:13 you seemed to be using notes "not" from the scale of D in your chord search. I think I saw a bass note like Ab. Is it ok to go outside the scale? If so how does that work? Thanks!

Does the melody necessarily have to be the last note of the chord? I've written compositions where the melody is whatever note of the chord I want it to be.

When you say that the original note selected has to be the top note in the chord, what do you mean by “top note”? Thanks

where is the berg bro
