I looked up the sheet music on the internet. That gives me a good starting point. You can do this too by picking some chords from a song you like. It doesn&#8217;t have to be the whole song, you can pick just a few chords, or maybe just the verse or just the chorus. I used just 8 bars from the chosen song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I made a<a href=\"https:\/\/wondrous-crafter-124.ck.page\/60644f5704\"> downloadable cheatsheet that quickly show how to create some tunes<\/a>, and let the decoder give you some awesome sounding chords to use.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wrote the chords down on a piece of paper. I like using paper because I think it helps my brain work better. Then I rearranged the order of some of the chords. Now a have a unique progression, so not to copy someone else&#8217;s song<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the chords I used were in the key of G, I could use the <a href=\"https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/magic-decoder-ring\/\">Magic Music Decoder ring<\/a> to give me a set of advanced chords to chose from. Now I have a rainbow of color coded chords to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"459\" data-id=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-to-CM7-1024x459.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-to-CM7-1024x459.png 1024w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-to-CM7-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-to-CM7-768x344.png 768w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-to-CM7-425x190.png 425w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-to-CM7.png 1482w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" data-id=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-at-D69-chord-1024x717.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-at-D69-chord-1024x717.png 1024w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-at-D69-chord-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-at-D69-chord-768x538.png 768w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-at-D69-chord-425x298.png 425w, https:\/\/gjcae.org\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Finger-points-at-D69-chord.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I substituted some of the basic chords in the progression for a few advanced chords.
