Key
As the first step of chord discovery for any song, identifying its key should be your first priority. Do this by listening carefully and noting the final note of melody that signals where to place chords for that particular melody line – this note serves as the home chord for this particular piece and also indicates whether its key should be minor or major.
Step two is selecting an appropriate chord progression. A chord progression consists of repeated chords to create song sections or complete songs; these chords must correspond with both the key of melody as well as scale of melodic line.
As well as considering rhythm and tempo when choosing chords for songs, it is also essential to think about rhythm and tempo when picking chords. A slow song requires slower chord progression while fast songs require faster ones. One good place to begin when selecting chords for songs is by looking at popular song examples that feature G, C, D and E as these are widely-played moneymaker chords and easy for beginners to learn how to play them.
