The other day I wrote a melody which I loved, using single notes, but to me it seemed to be lacking something. I have always struggled with writing chords (music theory wise) but have no problem writing a melody with singular notes.
For the fk of it I decided to change the melody and add chords beneath, specifically writing in the key of F minor. So I thought.. Well damn, I don't even know what pitches are in F minor, so I looked it up.
"F minor is a major scale based on F, consisting of the pitches F, G, A-flat, B-flat, C, D-flat, and E-flat. The harmonic minor raises the E♭ to E♮.. Its key signature has four flats. Its relative major is A-flat major, and its parallel major is F major." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_minor
After I read that, I was like what the hell are relative and parallel majors? So I read some more, and learned a lot more. That there is how I finished turning my melody into a chord progression which I found fit the song 10000x better, and sounded much more musical.
