greetings Marcus

Whats the basic rule of making an Chord progession over classical music, is there any different...do you just pick some keys and think like this " ahh this is cool..'2 or do you follow some strict rules ?

Hey Cornelius

There are lots of classical music with completely different structure in the chord progressions. But for neoclassical guitar it's often the baroque style (Vivaldi, Bach, etc).

Hm... well yes, I guess there are some "rules" like using diminished chords and stuff like that. But I think that the scale is more important, and a simple way to make it sound neoclassic is to use the harmonic minor scale So I personally don't follow any strict rules. I usually start with the melody and build a chord progression out of that, and once I got a melody down the chords often comes out very natural.

aahh i see

But for example you got a melody, how so you find out the chords ?

that would me helpfull to know?,,,,tnx Marcus

"I use my ears"
And the method is not different from finding chords for any other music style.

If you got a neoclassic melody, we can figure out some chords together. Then we can analyze it. Maybe that will give you some ideas

Just the answer i was hoping for marcus....its jette bra ( i speak a litttle swedish hehe )

yeah im gonna learn more with this aproach... ahhh..this is gonna be cool to analyze it togehter...

forexample this melody ( i give you the tab feel free to feel you own rythm mkay...)

You make a chord out of some of the notes in the melody.

Sorry for interfering marcus
