creating a secondary chord progression for a song

[UNCcrombie]

so basically i want to "fill out" or add some more depth to an already existing progression. I know the song is the key of A. How do I go about forming a progression to go over it? Basic chord structure in a certain key?

[Locarius]

If you want a really stripped down version of how its done, check out the guitar parts for NOFX songs. With just the raw power chords you can get a good idea of how to arrange a song for 2 guitars.

dont u touch nofx. ull get stds. just convert the chords to barre chords and slide around havin fun. like an A chord would be a barre on on the 5th fret etc.

or use the jazz equivalent, hard to explain, but a jazzy backing over a good prgression would be cool to solo over.

[mangold]

if you gonna post the suggestion atleast explain it

barre chords are gross. learn how to play voicings without the need to barre.

barred chords are flippin' sweet

not their fault you can't get variation with your strumming hand

also, you can make a second guitar part up an octave...

ps- look at some allman brothers stuff, along with grateful dead, moe., etc...moe.'s Rebubula is a GREAT example of two guitar harmony.

TO KNOW WHICH CHORDS FOR A MAJOR SCALE:

A scale is as follows:
A B C# D E F# G#

henceforth:
In a major scale, your basic chords that fit... go like this.
the first one (first note of the scale) is major.
the second one is minor
the third one is minor.
the fourth one is major.
the fifth one is a major seventh chord.
the 6th one is minor.
the 7th one is a minor seventh flatted 5 chord.

So...
A Major
B Minor
C# Minor
D Major
E Major 7
F# Minor
G Minor 7 b5

are the chords that fit.

Play with those knowing which baare chord shapes fit with each.

if you dont know which barre chord shapes to use for major, minor, major 7, minor 7, minor 7 b5, etc...tell me..
maybe i can make a diagram and host it. 8)

(then you can use the shapes for aaaany song you want and slide them around and such)

thanks ya'll. gumbomadness i know the barre chords for major and minor, but anything after that i'm not familiar with. also the song i'm using is oasis' wonderwall so i think the major and minor 7 would work nicely, correct me if i'm wrong there
