Newbie Question Re ~ Harmony ~

[Groovy]

Hello Squeezers (!)

 

This is a typical newbie question ~ but then I'm a newbie, so you'd expect it

 

I'm playing an Anglo. When I play a melody note I find I can usually create some sort of 'harmony' (most of the time) by playing the note next to it. My questions are:

 

1. Is there any basic 'rule' whereby I could add a 3rd note?

 

2. Apart from adding a harmony note next to the melody note (by playing the button on the left or right of the melody note) ... is there any other 'basic rule' for adding a second note ... other than playing the note mentioned?

 

Thank you so much for your edifying replies and help.
