If you're playing parallel stuff, play a dyad (two-note) chord of the interval you wish to use. That should give you an idea of what the harmony should sound like. Luckily, I'm pitch perfect so I can tell what a harmony will sound like before playing it or adding it. I know all the 12 dyads in my head.
If you wish to play a major 3rd harmony, play first a major 3rd chord.
Code:
[----]
[----]
[----]
[----]
[0---]
[1---]
Has a nice deep yet mellow kind of sound.
Going for something for something truly horrific?
Get in a minor 2nd, a flattened 5th or even a major 7th.
Code:
[------------]
[------------]
[------------]
[--------1---]
[0---1-------]
[4---0---0---]
