If I come up with a melody in my head but want it to be chords, how do I play it on my guitar? There's always 1 note that stands out in a chord. When you hear a song and sing along, you sing that note. How do you find out which chords have that specific note stand out that you want, so you can find out which chord fits what you want? Also, how do you know which tuning to use?. The only obvious ones to find are powerchords, but aside from that i'm not sure how to do it.
