Thread Name: Working Out Backing Chords
Subject: RE: Working Out Backing Chords
This is a little off the subject, but it sort of relates:

I recently found myself working out chord progressions for Irish music for the first time. I don't have recorded versions for the tunes I'm working on, so I'm working from scratch. All I have is sheet music for melody lines.

It's going alright so far, but I keep painting my self into corners, so to speak.

Does anyone know of a site that I might go to that already has the chords worked out?

If not, does anyone have some advice for going through this process? I've already figured out that a I/V chord progression works for almost anything, but I was hoping to be a little more diverse.

Thanks in advance for your help.
