Hi all, I'm working on an original rock tune in the key of G major, and there's a section just before the chorus that I'm struggling trying to figure out chords for. The melody has a little chromatic run, and I need suggestions for which chords to play behind it.
The section starts with an F major chord, and the melody starts on F, then goes to A (still over F major), then G#, then G, then back to F. The last F note is played over a D minor. I need chords behind the G# and the G. I'm really looking for two different chords there, to give a kind of descending feel. So the melody/chord structure is:
F (over F major), A (over F Major), G# (over ?), G (over ?) and F (over D minor).
I've attached two little mp3 versions of just that section of the tune. It's just two guitars and drums, one guitar for chords and one playing the melody line.
The first has me starting on F Major and ending on D minor, but leaving out the chords in between.
The second has my best guess, which is me going to E major behind the G# and then to E flat major behind the G, and then to D minor. But I'm not sure if that's working.
Please let me know whether you think those chords are working there, and if you don't think they are, what chords you think might fit better.
Thanks!
