Every song is always written in a specific KEY, which determines all the other notes you can play. For example if you are writing a song in C Major KEY, you should use the notes of the C major scale, which are: C D E F G A B C
If you play any other note that is not in the scale (example: bE, #G), it is going to sound dissonant.

Also, there can be dissonances within the scale.
For example if you are playing a C major Chord in the piano, you should try making a melody with C, E and G notes, because they three make the C major Chord, so its going to sound harmonious.
But if you add to that chord, a B note, or a D (even if they are in the scale), the chord is going to sound dissonant.

Each basic chord is made with three notes. The first, the second, and the third ;P
The first in the main note of the chord, skip one note of the scale, and thats the second, skip another, and thats the third note.
So if you want the chord for D, the notes of the chord would be: D+F+A
For G chord: G B D
For A chord: A C E

Usually in hardcore you have a one chord for each bar, and cycles of 4 bars. This means you can have 4 chords, so you can make combinations of chords, try something common like:
C - A - F - G, and play a melody over that with the notes of each chord. After that you can start adding notes that dont belong to the chords, that makes it more interesting, just make sure the notes you add dont rule over the notes of the chord, they are supossed to be transition notes, like decorative notes.


I hope this helps you a little :)

So to use it as a working example, my piano riff in fruity has 3 long kind of bass notes of E5, B4 and E4 an the melodic notes within that bar are E6, D6 and B5. so which melodic notes are out of tune there with the bass notes of that bar?

really dumb question but c major and c# are the same yes?

so you are saying a bar should have bass notes of for example G4, c4 and e4 with melodic notes of say g5, c6 and e6? and all that will be in the key of C?
