While chords are vital to understanding modern music, don't forget to just trust your ear. If something just sounds good to your brain, it usually is. But yes, there are a various amount of chords and they can sound beautiful as fuck. Hope it goes well for you.
I understand the chords now... it's just applying them with eachother and making sure they are all in the same "key". like I'm messing around with chords in the D major key.
