chord progressions
I am looking for different ways to take a chord progression: say I II IV V, or I IV VI V , whatever, and make them sound better. I know about voice leading, trying different inversions and voicings to not get the notes to jump around as much, but are there other ways of doing this??
Also, is it generally a better idea to do chord progressions 1st and build a melody on top of that, or do the melody 1st and harmonize that??
