Q: picture this, i'm just coming up with a melody and recording it. then i forget about it for half a year and then i look thru my recordings and wow this is a lot of ideas for songs! so i go to my keyboard to find the chords but no matter what i do i always end up with the same damn chord only that the bass note is sinking. how do i get more creative with my chords?
A: i would start by making sure you know what chords are in all your favorite songs ..... i'm assuming some of your favorite songs are what you would consider to be 'creative?' so at least learn what those ones are ..... then after you put it all together i think you will start getting frisky one day and come up with something entirely new
