What's the best way to come up with chord progressions(I have no keyboard) for an arrangement like this.
I'm looking for different ways to approach this problem so any input will be appreciated. Except for the obvious learn to play get a book etc answers.
Any useful stuff like which notes are best for the bass part of the chord and which notes are best for the top notes etc or any useful stuff please add
