There are so many books and videos about harmony and also we have this history and so much information coming from this way. The harmony for me the definite way of music and it's not only the harmony but the rhythm must be so certain that the harmony wouldn't work otherwise the music must be so certain that the listener would loose the attention of the harmony at the first but the rhythm must be there to hold the audience. That's the reason the most complex harmony must be follow the most basic structure of the rhythm. That's only the surface of the music but we also have this deeper structure of music that comes from reality of the noneness the soul. And this is a lot more important than the harmony basic structures of the rhythm because since I can't tell you the importance of the music (rhythm) the most basic solution would be the following the heart my friend. And it's not important if you play something complex or not, the importance of music is the elegance of the Life. The music shouldn't be something far away, different than the Life itself. That's the main reason we follow the rules but also we add rules when it comes to harmony and it's not basic to tell everybody how to do it but you can find the ways of the structure in the music itself.
That's the reason before any other information on the internet or books. Read yourself the notation and stay with yourself to analyze the inner peace within you with the piece. Later on you will understand that if you are a musician you don't need to study any of these and also if you learn how to make harmony by others like Schoenberg and others such as Bach, you will be internalize the entire Universe and it will make you the president of the heaven. That's the reason study "yourself" before any of those you find on the internet or books or school, specially the schools are wrong in many cases. You will find your own way into the music, not the other way around. Otherwise you can be a businessman but you can't be a musician. You learn this before even going to any of the ways above us. Thank you.

4 个月One side is very true! Cannot agree more with you! But on the other side you’ve got certain harmony principles which are applicable into any style of music in general and you do not need some special personable approach. It’s like the math mostly. And that’s perfect thing to realize because when you start to understand what is this so called math about, then you begin to make your own approach to music and make your own art. What do you think about that?
