hey Kevin,well songs rise and fall so i try to find the chords that best sound together for the project i'm working on.There's a bit of backtracking till i think i know what i'm doing,LOL.I guess it's kinda the same if i actually played a guitar,i'm sure you guitar slingers play a few chords before you get the chord and progression you want for a song,aint it?I do love minor chords the best though.Sounds simple but it aint!!!Mike
