@reazon You can combine chords and notes in certain ways, but your ear will let you know if you hit something that isn't right. There are note combinations that sound good when playing. Simple example would be playing the notes in the scale of C over the F and G roots. It creates a special effect. Also do related chords over a root note, like a Bb chord over a G root, or G minor chord over a Bb root. Best thing to do is what this guy did, then try some mixing of scales with what you have.

Got to say great job!! you make it very understandable and I am encouraged to learn more. 2 questions. 1-Is there any rule of thumb for the amount of chord progressions (and left hand arpeggio techniques) that can be used over a certain period of time.2-If you decide your song is going to start in a certain scale are all the notes played in the whole song part of that scale or can/do you combine multiple scales?

If anyone can answer that would be great thx
