Here are some tips for coming up with an original melody to suit a chord progression:
Sing the melody over and over, unaccompanied. This will help you get a feel for the melody and how it should sound.
Try to get an idea of the key of your song. This will help you choose the right notes for your melody.
Write down the chords from that key. This will help you see which chords will work well with your melody.
Play the tonic chord (the first chord in the key) and sing the melody over it. This will help you hear how the melody sounds with the chord.
Experiment with different rhythms using only the individual chord notes over the top of your chord progression. This can form a really solid basis for a melody line.

Prompt: How can I use chord inversions to create interesting melodies?
Chord inversions can be a great tool for creating interesting melodies. Here are some tips for using chord inversions to create melodies:
Start with a chord progression that you like and experiment with different chord inversions. Chord inversions can add a new dimension to your chord progression and can help you create a more interesting melody.
Use chord inversions to create a sense of movement in your melody. For example, you can use a first inversion chord to create a sense of tension that resolves when you move to a root position chord.
Experiment with different chord voicings. Changing the order of the notes in a chord can create a different sound and feel, which can inspire a new melody.
Use chord inversions to create a more flowing melody. For example, you can use a second inversion chord to create a smooth transition between two chords.
Use chord inversions to create a sense of surprise in your melody. For example, you can use an unexpected chord inversion to create a moment of tension or surprise in your melody.
Experiment with different rhythms using only the individual chord notes over the top of your chord progression. This can form a really solid basis for a melody line.
[A chord inversion is when the notes of a chord are repositioned in a certain way. Inversions can add a new dimension to a chord progression and can help create a more interesting melody. The lowest-sounding note of the chord at any given moment is not the root of the chord.
Chord inversions can be described by combining the same group of notes in a different order from the bottom to the top. The number of chord inversions is always equal to the number of notes in a given chord. Chord inversions can be used to create a sense of movement, flow, surprise, and sophistication in a melody.
In pop music genres, chord inversions are used to add variety to chord choices and to change the mood of a song. Chord inversions can be shown in a chord progression by using a slash between the chord and the bass note. For example, if you play a C chord with an E in the bass, you’d write: C/E.]

An example of a song that uses a chord inversion to create a unique sound is "Let It Be" by The Beatles. The verse of the song uses the chord progression I, V, vi, IV (C, G, a minor, F), which is a very common chord progression in pop music.
However, the unique sound of the song comes from the use of a first inversion chord in the progression. The first chord of the progression, C, is played with a G in the bass (C/G), which creates a sense of tension that resolves when the chord moves to the root position G chord.
This use of a first inversion chord adds a new dimension to the chord progression and helps create the unique sound of the song.

Consider these ideas:
# Have the strong notes of the melody contained within the chord. If the first chord is a C Major, make the first note of the melody a C, E, or GRemember that coming up with a melody takes practice and experimentation. Don't be afraid to try different things and see what works best for your chord progression.
# Pay extra attention to the note before a chord change
# Try to keep the melody simple and consistent. Avoid too much variation in pitch and rhythm
# Experiment with suspensions and dissonance to create tension in your melodies. If all the notes of your melody are in the corresponding chord underneath, try suspending a bit of the melody into the next chord to create tension
# Try to create a motif-based melody that repeats and varies an idea. Motif-based melodies tend to be the most common as they stand out the most
