While you’re at it, you might as well start to sing when playing chords. Don’t really think it matters wether it’s on guitar or keyboard, and you don’t have to be a great singer to begin with, just experimenting singing melodies over chords you play gives you direct feedback what sounds good to you.Stamped Records wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 11:09 am Hint, guitar is useful for learning a bit about voicing if you transfer the voicing of common guitar chords to keyboard. I'd recommend to anybody starting out, to get a cheap guitar and learn some chords.
Also, once you are playing a chord on a guitar, try playing the notes of the chord individually. People can disagree all they want but this is a nice introduction to melody and it's far easier than the same exercise on a keyboard.
All my best melodies came from singing while playing around which chord changes on guitar.
