Concerning Chords.

It's been like 2 years since I've been learning to play piano. I am having some issues with Chords. For instance If I am playing a song in the key of C. While following the melody line trough the keys, let's say the melody goes trough those keys D, E, B. Which Chord do you think that goes with those keys?

The chord that you are giving me must be with both hands.

That depends on where you are in the song and where you are going. It also depends on what the bass is doing. If you want to stick to the scale degree chords, it's easy to find chords that fit those notes. Here they are for the key of C:

C-E-G, D-F-A, E-G-B, F-A-C, G-B-D, A-C-E, B-D-F

Melody note D: D-F-A, G-B-D, B-D-F

Melody note E: C-E-G, E-G-B, A-C-E

Melody note B: E-G-B, G-B-D, B-D-F


If you want other chords, then refer to what I said first in this post. So, how about an example of a song or progression so that we can better assist you?

Let's say for instance, I want to play this song "How great thou art" which chord that I might use in this song?
