In order to harmonize, the lead note and the harmony note need to be in harmonic agreement with one another, as well as with the background chord and the key of the song. Steve found that in most cases, but not always, that thinking in thirds will usually achieve the desired sound. The book also contains a section on how to read tablature plus discography. In notation and tablature. Intermediate level.
