if you start with a major scale, you can build a new scale based on each note of your major scale.
C D E F G A B C: Major scale which forms a Major 7th chord by skipping every other note: C E G B: CMaj7
Start on the D:
D E F G A B C D: Dorian scale which forms a Minor 7th chord: D F A C: Dm7
E F G A B C D E: Phrygian scale which forms a minor 7th chord: E G B D: Em7
F G A B C D E F: Lydian scale which forms a Major 7th chord: F A C E: FMaj7
G A B C D E F G: Mixolydian scale which forms a Dom7 chord: G B D G: G7th
A B C D E F G A: Aeolian scale which forms a Minor 7th chord: A C E G: Am7th
B C D E F G A B: Locrian scale wich forms a Minor7b5: B D F A: Bm7b5 |

Or you can think of it this way.
The "relative minor" (a.k.a. Natural Minor) of a major scale is built on the 6th note of that major scale.
For example, the Relative Minor of a C major scale is Am.
Here are the 7 notes of the C major scale:
1 - C
2 - D
3 - E
4 - F
5 - G
6 - A <-- Am is the Relative Minor of C Major
7 - B

| That depends completely on the chords and the melody. But I would highly suggest mapping out your neck on a spreadsheet like Google Sheets. Create a grid showing all the strings from the first to the 12th fret and then can map both chords and melody notes for any song you are working on . |

Ashoke,
I'm a bit confused. Looking through your posting history, it seems you asked this same question 10 years ago. You were given really good answers then. Pickup up any number of books on basic music theory. Or maybe music isn't your thing. But I'm out. |

Short answer;
A major chord is constructed from a Root. a 3rd and a fifth.
A minor is Root, flat3rd and a fifth.
The harmonizing note to the melody note is in the chord, any combo of the intervals that make the chord will harmonize with the melody. 3 part harmony is the chord itself. 4 part harmony adds a 3rd, flat 3rd, fifth or octave (as appropriate) above or below the Root. and so on....
