Title: Generative Markov Chain Model Development for Guitar Melodies Creation
Keywords: Generative model, Guitar melody, Markov chains, Music generation

Abstract: This study proposes a generative Markov Chain model for creating guitar melodies. The proposed model generates various transition matrices for the Markov chain using multiple chord progressions in different genres. When analyzing the various transition states, separate transition matrices are created for each genre, each with an N-chord sequence used as a context. The purpose of the model is to generate stylistically consistent and accurate guitar chord progressions across various genres for creating guitar melodies.
