, but what if a melody phrase you are playing in the key of C doesn't relate particularly well with any of these chords? What if the melody in the phrase was: D - F -A - A-C-E ? Wouldn't I be forced to find chords that better fit this phrase, or could I still stick to the I,IV, V chords if I really wanted to? Would it be "wrong" to use any of the I, IV, or V chords in this instance, since chords such as Dminor and A minor would fit relate to that melody much better?thanks
