Thank you guys
I could play the most used chord progression in pop music history—C major, A minor, F major, G major and this will work beautifully, with notes overlapping where possible, as before.

Because my ears weren’t trained enough, and my confidence getting a dent, because people told me (and they were right) I was using out of tune notes.
I took for a while the safe way out. If one track started at C, all other tracks did too.
Looking at many examples and midi files, I noticed that the above is true often but not always.
So I did this test. I marked the scale but did not start all the tracks at the same note.
I used my ears to find those other possibilities.
I could prob find a page telling which notes I can use in a certain scale, but wanted to see how far I could get by using my ears.
Mission accomplished.
It funny, my ears don't like me to combine certain notes, even if both are in the same scale.
In the example both do start at the same key though. ( C3 and C4 )
I have been doing a lot of this stuff recently. ( also doing chord progressions, and I think you do need you're ears for that to find those nice combinations)
