In today's lesson we will take a simple melodic theme and add some harmonies to it in order to emphasize the key parts.

The main theme is written in the key of A Mixolydian over the following chords:

A-G-F#m-G

We'll end the track with an A Ionian scale just to open things up.


As you work on this lesson, make sure you understand how all the parts work together to create something harmonized.

Practice well!
