Melody• Melodic parts add interest!• Be careful and sparing!• Use chord notes, passing notes, auxiliary

notes!• Approach your destination by step (or from

another chord note)!• Make good use of the 3rd-4th and 7th-8th

notes in the key (the semitones)!• Don’t cut across others in the band

More chords• Be careful with all 7ths in major chords -

they always change the sound!• You can nearly always use a 7th in a minor

chord (particularly in a major key) - it simply makes the sound richer

More chords• Added note chords are based around

counting up a scale from the root note:
