Q: I'm trying to learn how to add chords under a melody, and thought I'd start with just adding a single bass note to make it easier for myself. Is there a more efficient method than just going through all 12 notes by trial-and-error and picking one that sounds good though?
A: if you get some song books, that will probably be pretty enjoyable, and you'll catch on to some basic things pretty quickly. after you go through all the songs in the book you'll probably be able to figure out songs that are not in the book
