Great posts! When I use chordal harmonization with live looping I
restrict the "chords" to simply root note and fifth. This is to leave
open the decision of whether it should be major or minor, I often put
my improvised lead melody line to pass by those "major-vs-minor" notes
when playing over my chord harmonizaton.

For a live band that play songs I do differently though, triggering
full pre prepared brass section chords from single notes I play. But
that's OT here.
