I still don’t understand…

[Aaron_Turner]

I have been working with harmony parts, and how they work. I learned all the intervals… but I don’t understand how to apply that. It is not just X steps higher or lower…

 

[Andrew Milner]

What exactly don't you understand? How to use chords to create a rhythmic part?

 

[Aaron_Turner]

No, a harmony part, where one guitarist plays one thing, and another plays the same melody a little higher/lower

Aa, I get it. Dueling guitars basically.

It's like this:

1. Figure out what key/scale your song is in and figure out the notes from the scale
2. Dueling guitars are usually done in thirds. So you have your main guitar line, and the second guitar doubles it a third up.
3. Thirds are obtained by looking at the third ascending note from the one you're playing (which we will consider the 1st note).

So if you're in C major, your notes are C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. So if guitar one is playing a C note, then guitar 2 should play an E note (C is the 1st note, and if you move up 2 notes, you get E). If guitar one is playing an E note, then guitar 2 should play G. If guitar 1 is playing an A note, guitar 2 should play a C note. And if guitar 1 is playing a B note, then guitar 2 should play a D note. And so on.

I hope this makes it clearer .

Hopefully this would help

They said 3 notes abov is most common, so I guess it could be other notes too
