choosing various chords to accompany
the melody. There are several techniques
and tricks to doing this. More resources
on learning how to harmonize melodies
3. Altering Chords - This is the best part!
Now that you have strategically figured
out the melody to a song and have
harmonized it, altering your chords to
produce certain sounds is the next step.

would alter your chords differently than if
you were playing classical or country

1. Listening - After you have determined
the melody, harmonized the melody, and
