Phil - can you give me some tips on finding the right pad progression?

Hi Phil.



I’m putting together a funky techno track. I have alot of the parts sorted, but i’m struggling to find the right pad chord progression to go with my lead.



Here is my lead:




Can you give me some tips from your experience and knowledge on techniques for finding the right harmony for the pad to go with the lead?

Appreciate alot of this might be trial and error - but are there any 'techniques' that you use yourself to speed up the process that you find really help?

Thanks,

David.

use the exact same notes for your pad… just stretch them out and mess about with the octaves and then if you want a harmony just play over the top with the same sound.

cheers Phil.
