Almost all there is to music making or playing in just a few words

We find the bass note then choose some harmony notes 1 by 1 from this bass.


For example if bass is D possible harmony notes are D F A C E G B.


For example Carelles Wisper - George Michael


Bass D and D F A (meaning D and F and A)
Bass G and B D F
Bass B and D F A
Bass A and C E G
(Attention all B are flat since the key is D minor on this song)


It sounds even better, if we make least nnite changes or finger movement.


For example rearranging notes:


D bass and D F A
G bass and D F B
B bass and D F A
A bass and E G C
(All B are flat)


Or


D bass and A D F
G bass and B D F
B bass and A D F
A bass and C E G


similarly for any song or even a symphony.


Summary: all needed to remember really is the note series C E G B D F A C E G B ...
