Q: I'm not quite sure how to put this... I know you say that the best chord is the one that supports the melody and that the melody and chords are inherently connected to each other... but I guess I'm wondering if you got any tips on working out specific chord voicings? I can come up with chords that I think are a good fit with the melody.. but too often I find myself just doubling the chord in my left and right hand (on piano btw) which probably isn't the best thing to do.
A: never do that. that's like drawing your character's face on their head and their ass at the same time
