The author shares an anecdote about his wife who used to play random chords on the guitar, explaining that following certain rules would make the chords sound harmonious. The author, however, does not have a deep understanding of music or guitar playing. The rules were presented as a series of options, such as X leading to Y or Z, and so on, where X, Y, Z, W represent musical notes.

Despite his lack of musical knowledge, the author created a program that played four notes per chord, adhering to the rules his wife had explained. The program selected the next chord based on these rules. The author was pleasantly surprised by the decent sound produced by the program, considering the minimal effort he put into creating it.
